Shalom,

Psalm 68:1 from our Bible Reading Plan for today:

68 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. KJV

Remember that "let" in the Word of God denotes "choice"! You and I must CHOOSE to allow HIM to rise in each situation we face in life. That being said, I LOVE the Amplified of this verse!

God is [already] beginning to arise, and His enemies to scatter; let them also who hate Him flee before Him!

1 John 5:14-15 tells us THIS concerning answered prayer:

14 And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. 15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him.  AMP

When WE get in position to receive God's best, HE is already on the move to bring that answer about! WE are not waiting on God, HE is waiting on US! Once you determine that, then you MUST realize that no matter what the senses tell you, God's Word is TRUTH! With all of the chaos going on around us, and throughout the world, many are tempted to believe that evil has a chance to win. NOT SO! Remember that Jesus already defeated the devil and his cohorts. That victory is now being enforced in the lives of those who will believe and receive and walk in it! Soon and very soon, all of the world will see and know that JESUS is LORD! Until then, remember that "there are more that be with US than those that be with them" (2 Kings 6:16)! Remember that Jesus has been given a Name that is ABOVE every other name, and WE have been given power of attorney to use that Name in this life to enforce His victory and set people free from the bondage of the enemy! Let's be about our Father's business with boldness, confidence and joy, fully expecting HIM to confirm His Word and to show Himself off! AMEN! One more note of encouragement to my sisters in Jesus! Look at Psalm 68:11:

11 The Lord gives the word [of power]; the women who bear and publish [the news] are a great host.

Do NOT let anyone hold you back from fulfilling the call of God that HE has placed on your life! What He has called you to do, He has also equipped and anointed you to do! Those who read into and teach from the Word that women are to keep silent are simply revealing an area of the Word where they are ignorant of the TRUTH! God said THIS in the Psalms even before Jesus came, died and rose again! HE, after rising from the dead, sent forth the very first missionary, and she was a woman (John 20:17)! Make it your determined purpose to fulfill your calling, counting on HIM to vindicate you and to make a way for you! I am blessed to have a Pastor who knows the Word of God and encourages every member to fulfill our individual and distinct ministries.

In the meantime, obey God over man and HE will confirm your message and your ministry! HALLELUJAH! Here is Hillsong with "No Reason To Hide":



Shalom in Him!
