WORD OF GOD IS ALIVE

FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God is moveable to locate and to give direction.

Jeremiah 1 

The word of God is God. (John1:1)
God magnified His word above all His name. (Psalm 138:2)
The word of God is alive and does not stagnate.
The word of God can locate whomever God chooses to give direction.
Have you experienced the visitation of the word of God and not known that the word of God visited you or still visiting you?
The word of God visited Abraham repeatedly. 
Through the vision, the word of God came to Abraham with assurance of protection.
Genesis 15:1, “After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” 
The word of God located Abraham speaking to him with the promise for him to receive where there was a need for Abraham.
Genesis 15:4 records, “And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.”
Are you with expectation for the visitation of the word of God?
When God calls attention to wrongdoing or dissatisfaction, He goes by His word.
The wrongdoing of King Saul calls for the word of God for King Saul through Samuel.
1 Samuel 15:10-11 records, “Now the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying, “I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments.” And it grieved Samuel, and he cried out to the Lord all night.”
No one can run or hide from God. 
Jonah was among many who received the calling of God when the word located him with the direction in Jonah 1:1-2, “Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” 
The word of God went to locate Jonah.
Jeremiah was located by the word of God several times for direction to receive attention to see unseeable situations. 
Jeremiah testifies, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.” (Jeremiah 1:11-12)
The living word of God does not stagnate, but the word of God moved to call Jonah for direction, to call on Jeremiah to see the unseeable situation, for him to move forward not to be a failure in the assignment of God over life.
Unquestionably, with understanding, the word of God needs no permission to assess anyone as God desires to.

Prayer for today: Ask that the word of God will locate you to build you for His glory.

IS LISTENING IN YOU?

FAITH CAPSULE: Is listening to gain the presence of God in your life?

John 14 

Are you listening to the world around you to gain understanding, not to become a victim of the world?
Listening is giving attention, and attention is listening.
Proverbs 4:1 testifies to the importance of attention to have understanding: “Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, and give attention to know understanding” (Proverbs 4:1)
Jesus also questioned and answered about understanding and listening, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.” (John 8:43)
With listening comes understanding to know God, the truth to live for the glory of God.
All should listen, with understanding, and know that Jesus is the word of God. 
John 1:1 states, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Understand that Jesu, the word of God, is the truth when He says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6) 
One who does not listen to understand the word of God, the truth of God, cannot believe and will not know God as John 8:45 confirms, “But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.”  
How can you know about God but not know God, to be living by His word?
A lack of understanding testifies to knowing God and living by His word.
Do you know God, or do you know about God?
The majority of acclaimed believers who do not know the truth of God do not know God. 
One who does not know the truth, the word of God, is not free.
John 8:42 confirms, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” know the truth of God to be free and not live by the standard of the world.
In this world, listening disability not to understand and know the truth of God is rooted in not having time for God.
Will you give attention to the word of God?
Allow the word of God, His light of God? 
Psalm 119:130 admonishes, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.” One with no light of God shall continually experience the challenges of the world of darkness and not experience free, navigating through the world of darkness.
With understanding, know the truth of God and not suppress the truth of God, which is the righteousness of God. 
Romans 1:18 warns, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.”
Let the desire for God become your portion.
Get the understanding that will enable you not to live a life of waste but to live a life of worshiping God, the purpose He creates all for His pleasure.

Prayer for today: Ask that God shall fill you with spiritual understanding.

PRAY WITH UNDERSTANDING

FAITH CAPSULE: Having understanding provokes the power of God. 

Psalm 47

Let there be understanding to provoke the power of God.
Psalm 111:10 states, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments…”
Having an understanding of God will provoke the backing of the power of God.
Psalm 47:7 confirms, “For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.”
All ways of seeking God demand understanding to find God.
If praises demand to understand, prayer demands understanding.
Understanding to seek God is the power to gain the presence of God.
Ask that understanding to seek and find God shall become established in your life.
Ask for the understanding to pray and gain the visitation of God, become your portion.
WITH UNDERSTANDING, PRAY NOT TO BE REDUCED
Who or what is reducing you consciously or unconsciously?
What is it, physical, spiritual, or emotional, reducing you from living life to the glory of God?
Revelation 4:11 states God is worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. God created all things, And by His will, we all exist for Him.
Telling minute of massive lies counts before God and can terminate life.
Ananias and Saphira (Husband and wife) became reduced by telling lies, deception, and manipulation.
In the fellowship before the Holy Spirit, they sold their possession.
They kept back part of the proceeds.
Peter knew Satan filled their heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of what they sold. (Acts 5)
Telling lies must have been their way of life, but eventually reduced them.
The Bible records the error of Moses at Kadesh when he walked outside of God (the word of God is God) by speaking wrongly and striking with his rod to bring water to the Israelites. (Numbers 20)
PRAYER
Ask that the forces that reduce one consciously or unconsciously be permanently exposed so that you will not reduced.
Ask against being a liar, deceiver, and manipulator in life.
Peter mentioned that Satan gained access to the hearts of Ananias and Saphira to fill their heart.
Ask that what makes Satan gain access to the heart of one shall become a failure for Satan from gaining access into your heart.
Satan filled the hearts of Ananias and Saphira.
Ask not to live a life filled constantly by Satan.
Ask that whoever or whatever the enemy will use to fill you shall not have a place in your life.
Moses walked outside of God not to arrive at the promise of God.
Ask that starting from this hour, walking in God shall be your steps.
Not walking in God by Moses, in Kadesh, was called his error.
Moses disobeyed God by speaking and struck against the command of God.
Moses did not arrive at the promise of God.
Ask against error that will cancel your arrival at the Promise of God, not be your portion.
Ask that the spirit of obedience to the word of God begin to ride in you to walk in God in the days He has given you.

THE HOUR OF PRAYER

FAITH CAPSULE: This hour, lift your voice in prayer to live life for God.

Revelation 21

BE OCCUPIED BY THE PRESENCE OF GOD
Jesus, the word of God, is the Lamb of God.
Revelation 21:23 states, “The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.”
Jesus is the light of God.
God is light. 1 John 1:5 records, “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.”
All should have the desire to be occupied by the glory of God.
God shall enter to occupy anyone that opens for Him. 
The word of God states, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me.” (Revelation 3:20) 
Psalm 119:130 records, “The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.”
PRAYER
Ask the light of God to gain entrance into your life to occupy you.
IT COUNTS TO DO RIGHT BEFORE GOD!
Walking with God is not by quoting the word in the way of living life.
Attending churches for all kinds of fellowshiping in the name of God is not evidence of walking with or before God.
Walking with God is a privilege to engage in the right choice of action that carries weight and counts before God.
God weighs actions that count. 1 Samuel 2:3 states, “…For the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him, actions are weighed.”
Does your action carry weight before God?
How are you addressing engaging the right choice to the glory of God?
A priest had the privilege to do good but walked away.
Luke 10:31 says, “Now by chance, a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.”
All have a chance and should do right before God.
PRAYER
Ask God to enable you to walk with, not walk away from Him in the chance that will mark you not to miss eternal life.
Ask that all your actions engaged or to be engaged, from this hour shall carry weight to lift you before God.
Ask that you shall not miss doing right that counts before God.
BE MINDFUL OF GOD
David asked God, “What is man that You are mindful of him…” 
(Psalm 8:4) 
Are you mindful of God?
Why not be mindful of God?
Know to keep your mind on God as one that walks with God to gain the blessings of God. 
Isaiah 26:3 records the promise of God for the mindful towards Him, “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You.”
To live life by the word of God is to be mindful of God and not to stumble.
PRAYER
Ask that from this hour to live a life mindful of God.

MINDFUL GOD

FAITH CAPSULE: One who is not of God is not in Him.

Psalm 8

Give yourself to the word of God.
One who gives to the word of God shall not fail to experience the hand of God in all areas of life.
To be mindful of God is to live life for God.
The hand of God is not short to locate you in all endeavors.
Jesus said, “…He who abides in Me, and I in him…” (John 15:5)
One who is mindful of God is the testimony of one who walks in Him.
One who is not of God is not in Him.
God is mindful of anyone with a mind for Him.
God testifies to David in 1 Samuel 13:14 that David is a man after His own heart, “…The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart…”
God continually looks for one that is mindful of Him.
David, a man after the mind of God, knows to ask from God why God is mindful of man in Psalm 8:4, “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? “
To have a mind of God is not by determination but by desire. 
Know to ask that God will enable you by depositing His word to be mindful of Him. 
One with the word of God shall be mindful of God and answer as one that belongs to God.
God wants all to be mindful of Him. 
The majority are not mindful of God but empty of God. 
Without ceasing, ask to be enabled with mindfulness of God.
PRAYER:
Ask that God will put His word (law) in your mind as He promised the Israelites and to stamp them on your heart to live life as His own in all the days of life He has given you.
Ask that the mind of God shall put you in a position to gain mercy in the life journey.
Ask before God that sins shall no longer hinder you from denying you to gain and retain the presence of God.
Inquiring is an approach to seeking God and living life in Him.
Have the desire to be full of God the character of those who seek God diligently?
One with faith is inquiring from God, not to doubt, the evidence of one mindful of God.
One that inquires with faith does not doubt but acknowledges God with the mind.
What is denying you not being one who is mindful of God?
Be one that knows to keep a mind on God as a way of life to gain the blessings of God. 
Isaiah 26:3 records the promise of God for the mindful towards Him, “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You.”
To live life by the word of God is to be mindful of God and not to stumble.

Prayer for today: Ask to live life for God.
