Shalom,


I want to share some of the Daily Devotional from Jerry Savelle today:



Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.

God is the author of success. If you want to be successful, then go to His Word and discover the laws that He has set forth. If you properly appropriate those laws, then success will eventually come. Now if you are hoping for success overnight, then you are going to be disappointed. That is just not the way it works. Success is progressive.


Satan does not want you to succeed. He is against you and he hopes that you will never learn these laws. He hopes that you will give up.


But, if you change the way you think, talk, and act and align them with the Word of God, then you will change the quality of your life. You can’t change God’s law, the law of seedtime and harvest, so you’ll have to be the one who changes.


You don’t have to think like the rest of the world. You can talk differently. You can act differently. Sometimes you may feel like you are the only person in your neighborhood who believes this, but just keep living it and watch how the quality of your life, your self-image, your confidence, and your outlook on life will drastically change. Just remember that everything that you are and everything that you will ever be is the result of the way you think, talk, and act. So think, talk, and act on the Word. When you do that, success will come.



He began the this lesson speaking of planting seeds and where to find those seeds. We know from the Parable of the Sower that the seed we must sow, or plant, is the Word of God. When we sow God's Word into our hearts, the Word of God is what will begin to come out of our mouths. THAT is how we sow those "WORD" seeds! We speak them out! When we are sowing the Word, then we can make this confession:


Today's Confession: “God’s law won’t change so I must be the one to change. I will plant God’s seed in my heart so I can enjoy the success that God has planned for me.” 



Amen! Go forth sowing, and while you're at it, enjoy this song from Hillsong called "You Are Here", because we know that the same power that conquered the grave lives IN US! So SPEAK! Amen:




Shalom in Him!
