Be Influenced By The Word


And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 3:15).

Day after day, we hear and see things that influence our lives; events that seek to control our joy, happiness, and decisions. But it’s God’s desire that we study and meditate on the Scriptures, be influenced by His Word, and not circumstances. God’s Word is able to make you wise, and deliver to you your inheritance in Christ. Never take your mind away from the Word of God, because your glory is in the Word.
The Bible says, "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Corinthians 3:18). If you keep looking at the glory of God in His Word, you’ll be transformed to become what you see. Paul said to Timothy, "Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all" (1 Timothy 4:15).
God’s Word is an album that contains God’s pictures of you, and as you flip through the pages in study and meditation, you keep seeing your glorious reflections, and they keep getting better, because your life is from glory to glory. So, let the Word influence you. Feed your spirit and mind with the Word. Adjust and renew your thinking with the Word.
When your mind is renewed with the Word, God’s thoughts, opinions and ideas will dominate your mind. Then your mindset will be one of success, victory, health, prosperity, and greatness. Halleluiah!

Prayer 
Dear Father, I’m totally yielded to your Word, which is able to make me wise and also deliver to me my inheritance in Christ. At all times, my heart is open to the influence of the infallible principles of success, victory, health, prosperity, and greatness revealed in your Word! Thus, my way is prosperous, and I’m triumphant always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Psalm 119:10-11

Everyday Holy

The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.  — Genesis 12:1-2   Sometimes when circumstances get too big or seem to be different from what I want, doubts start creeping in.  What if this isn’t the right thing? What if I heard God wrong? What if I’ve made a huge mistake? What if I’m totally screwing up my child and she ends up living in a van down by the river? I get scared. I realize this doesn’t make me different from anyone else. We all like to feel in control of every aspect of our lives, and it’s hard to surrender that control. It’s hard to say, “I trust You” — no matter what. One of the few constants in life is that things will always change. And I, like many others, hate change. It leaves me feeling unsettled, unsure, and insecure as I try to find new footing in different c...

Very Great in the Little Things

This God is our God. — Psalm 48:14 “God is great in great things, but very great in little things,” says Henry Dyer. A party stood on the Matterhorn admiring the sublimity of the scene, when a gentleman produced a pocket microscope and having caught a fly, placed it under the glass. He reminded us that the legs of the household fly in England are naked, then called attention to the legs of this little fly which were thickly covered with hair; thus showing that the same God who made the lofty Swiss mountain attended to the comfort of His tiniest creatures, even providing socks and mittens for the little fly whose home these mountains were. This God is our God! A doubting soul beheld a robin’s nest in a gigantic elm and heard a still small voice saying, “If God spent a hundred years in creating a tree like that for a bird, He will surely take care of you.” God is so interested that He takes us one by one and arranges for every detail of our life. To Him, there are no ...
