Daily Devotion to God’s Holy Word.

What is wrong?
Was it wrong for the people to march around the Jericho walls until the wall come down by the power of God (Joshua 6)?
What about those people inside those walls? Was this wrong? Why were the walls of Jericho shut up tight?
Was this stealing? Or rightfully claiming? The giants were at war against God. But the Israelites followed God.
Sometimes, God covers the land with snow to give us time to rest. Yet God is with us even IF we need to get out in it to work!
Which Spirit our heart follows makes a difference in the right or wrong our heart pursues! Self-Control is really Spirit-Control & which spirit that controls a human heart & mind determines God’s right & wrong.
AGENDAS: Love:Looking out for another’s needs as well as our own! Or, evil: Selfish Ambition? See? God is love! John 3:16-17 gives NO room to negotiate with evil.
Good or Evil Spirits can control a human heart.
WE MUST KNOW THE PLANS THE SPIRIT HAS FOR US!
●God’s Plan For us: For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord . “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11 NLT
●The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
John 10:10 NLT
I am not overstating it when I say that the man who caused all the trouble hurt all of you more than he hurt me. NOW, HOWEVER, it is time to forgive and comfort him. OTHERWISE he may be overcome by discouragement… & … SO THAT Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes.
2 Corinthians 2:5, 7-7, 11 NLT
And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
Romans 8:26-28 NLT
Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law.
Romans 13:10 NLT
Final Thoughts …
In Closing, there is so much here, yet the final thought the Spirit of the Lord is impressing on my heart of Jesus to say is this … Forgiveness leaves no room in our heart for revenge / nor ill-thoughts toward that person, because something Miraculous happens in Christ! Grace floods our heart!!! Forgiveness comes in us like a flood of living warm oil that frees a soul to let go of any control that UNforgiveness can have over us, a place Satan can steal our Peace, if we are unWise to what is really going on. The Spirit we allow / LET control our heart is vital to our freedoms in Christ. God will give you a method, if need be to Reconcile Peace between believers. But, as far as unbelievers, they must first come to Christ to understand what forgiveness is all about. Release that forgiveness in the rightful Hand of Jesus, where there is nothing left for us to forgive, because Forgiveness has come for whosoever might believe.
Jesus already did it all!
If you don’t know Jesus like this, Come! Come to the ONE who died for your sins, because God desires for you to come home to be with Him! Yes, my friend, there is forgiveness, grace and HOPE! Won’t you receive the Grace Jesus left for you? Peace, Joy, Freedom from sin and when you Receive this, you will never be the same! And, when you Come, STAY! Jesus loves you! We are praying for you; and when you come, please pray for us as well! There is more than what you see in front of you! Look up to the Heaven’s and know God has known you since BEFORE you were even born! God loved you and knew the choices you would make! Jesus loved you, because you needed His Love So … Now, all that is left, is for you to come and receive the Mercy and Grace that God has waiting for you. Believe in your heart that Jesus is Raised from the Dead; and Confess with your mouth, Jesus is your Lord. God will hear you no matter how you say it, because God looks at and knows the value of your heart!
We would love to hear from you!
TILL NEXT TIME!
“GRACE AND PEACE TO YOU FROM GOD OUR FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST (2 Corinthians 1:2, NIV).”
Love in Christ,

“WRITING THE STORY OF MY LIFE WITH EVERY CHOICE JESUS HELPS ME TO MAKE AND LEARNING HOW TO BE BLESSED AND LIVE LIFE LARGE, HAPPY AND FREE. I CARE.”
Personal Motto: “I don’t have it all figured out, BUT GOD DOES … Follow JESUS!”
Personal Revelation Life Verse: 1 John 4:16And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. (HCSB)
Thank you Jesus!
Holy Spirit you are welcome here!
