Declare the Shift is Coming!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.Job 22:28, NKJV.
TODAY'S WORD:
Today I declare that a shift is coming. Whatever you need—a shift in your health, a shift in your finances, or a shift in a relationship. It may not look like anything is happening in the natural, but we serve a supernatural God. He’s about to breathe in your direction in a new way! The enemies you have seen in the past, you will see no more. The addictions or bad habits that have held you back are being broken in Jesus’ name. God’s favor is being released in a new way that will propel you forward. What should have taken you 40 years to accomplish, God is going to do in a split second!The shift is acceleration. The shift means going beyond where you could go on your own. The shift is seeing Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider, do exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond. Now our attitude should be, “God, I’m ready. I’m taking the limits off of You. I’m enlarging my vision. I may not see a way, but I know You have a way. I declare I’m coming into a shift!”
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father, today I open my heart and mind to You. I declare that a supernatural shift is coming my way. I receive Your Word, I receive Your truth, and I receive the increase You have in store for me in Jesus’ name. Amen. |
“You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him.” (Deuteronomy 30:20 NLT)
Today we’ve bought into this myth that love is uncontrollable, that it just kind of happens to you.
In fact, even the language we use implies that we can’t control how we love. We say, “I fell in love” — like it was a ditch! I was just walking along one day and — bam! — I fell in love. I just couldn’t help myself. But is that really love?
Attraction and arousal are uncontrollable — no doubt about it. But attraction and arousal are not love. They can lead to love, but they are not love.
Love is a choice.
During a wedding ceremony, a man and a woman stand before each other and say their vows. They say to the other person, “I choose you above everybody else in the world, and I choose you for the rest of my life.” They make a public statement of their choice — that’s a commitment.
You can’t force somebody to fall in love with you, and you can’t force him or her to stay in love with you. Why? Because love is a choice. Love cannot be forced. This is true of all relationships, including your relationship with God.
Deuteronomy 30:20 says, “You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him” (NLT). You must choose to love God. God isn’t going to force you to love him. You can thumb your nose at God and go a totally different way. You can destroy your life if you want to. God won’t force you to love him, because love is a choice.
What will you choose to do?
