  A TRUST Acronym Memorize and Meditate “ It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. ” (Isaiah 55:11) T = THANK  God that he will accomplish his purposes in us. R = RECEIVE  the revelation that leads to renewal. U = UNDERSTAND.  Understanding leads to conviction and results in our taking action. S = SPIRIT.  Through the power of the cross and the Holy Spirit, we are crucified to the flesh and to the lures of the world. T = TRANSFORM  by degrees as we forget the past, reach forward, and press toward the call of God in Christ Jesus. Never let go of the trust handle for everyday living. Those who practice trusting in the Lord will be blessed!

  Choose to Overcome “No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.” — 1 Corinthians 10:13 Life is a test. What do I mean by that? God has given us a free will, and every experience we have in life is an opportunity to choose how we are going to respond. The Lord wants us to cling to Him continually, to look to Him for wisdom and strength to handle every temptation and trial, so that we overcome. In 1 Corinthians 10:13 the Lord is telling us that trials and temptations are common to man and that we don’t have to face them without Him. Nothing you will face in life is so unique that no one has ever dealt with it before. All trials have varieties of color, but at the end of the day they are similar at the root. The difference is in how we choose to handle them. God wants you to choose to...

  Purging Trust in Self Memorize and Meditate “ In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us. ” (2 Corinthians 1:9–10) Soak your Heart At times, circumstances can seem overwhelming. Sometimes this happens so God can teach us not to rely on ourselves.  He wants us to realize that our sufficiency is from God. He wants to purge us of the leaven of trusting in self. Sow to the Spirit Christ provided us with eternal salvation, and we must learn to trust in him to live the Christian life. We can be confident that he will deliver us. Flow with the Spirit Only the power of the Spirit can purge us of the leaven of self-trust. Paul said that he and his friends carried the sentence of death in themselves so they would learn to trust in Christ. Death is a painful ...

  Guard Your Heart From Fear “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV The Bible makes it clear that we wrestle not against flesh and blood. We are battling “spiritual forces of wickedness” (Eph. 6:12). Demonic spirits gain access to our lives in a variety of ways. You may already know that you can open doors to these spirits when you come into agreement with sin and lies, and that sometimes demonic spirits run in families. But many people don’t realize that demons also gain access to our lives through fear. Even as faith opens a channel for the Spirit of God to operate through you, fear opens up a channel for the powers of darkness to gain access to your life. The Bible tells us more than one hundred times to fear not. The Lord said not to call a conspiracy what the world calls a conspiracy, and “you are not to fear what they fear or be in dread of it.” Instead, “it is the Lord of hosts whom you should regard as...

  Prepare for Action by Focusing on the Light of God’s Word Memorize and Meditate “ Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place—until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts. ” (2 Peter 1:19) “ So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. ” (1 Peter 1:13) Soak your Heart Scripture repeatedly reminds us to set our minds on the things above and prepare for action. We do this through the transforming work of the Word of God. We are to pay attention to God’s Word the same way we would fix our eyes on a light in a dark place. Sow to the Spirit Pray:  Father, I place my confidence in your Word. I place my trust and hope in your Word.  I am paying attention to it like I ...
