Is there a secret to not being in fear or 'hoping' no one speaks fear to you? Do you prefer to live in JOY?
In our recent Inner Circle calls, a similar situation keeps surfacing - it is setbacks, fear and
struggles.
Yet, what we learned as the common denominator is that each time these surfaced, the person was just in a situation where someone spoke words against their spirit.
Let me explain:
"when we were in the elevator after visiting the cancer doctor, the nurse had heard us talking about how we are trying to see God in this situation and what alternatives we could implement. To which the nurse chimed into our conversation and said, 'why don't you just let
the cancer take its course?'" 🤯
Another story, was 'as I go to the grocery store there is no way I can buy organic, even though I need it for my kids.'
"my doctor said there is little hope and then he ordered several tests that my insurance will not pay for."
When I come home from work, my spouse usually lets out his frustration on me.
Did you hear the struggle in each situation? It is real.
🤔Yet, what
if...............
What if we looked at what is common in each situation? This may surprise you.
Each person walked through a doorway into that meeting, home, or location.
Each person allowed what was spoken to be heard and taken into their heart. The proof of taking this into the heart is that it still bothers them after the fact.
Each person prayed after the happening that God would help them.
Now let's change the scenario and see
the outcome.
🌞As you rise in the morning, wake up and say, Today is going to be an AMEN day. Or use words or Bible verses of your own choosing. It is the heart of the words that matter. KEY - Make it known that you are walking in the spirit of the Lord today, and He is guiding your steps.
🗣️If you see yourself going into a situation of uncertainty, speak God's word over it before going in. This is where I teach about the threshold. It is my
threshold prayer. I use it when going into the grocery store or into a meeting.
"Lord you know my budget, you know my food needs and you know what will bring healing and not disease. Lead me to the sales, the right choices and the means to pay for it."
Now let's try the doctor....
"Lord let no lie be spoken to me here, let no words intent to cause fear be spoken, befuddle the mouths of those who speak against your healing power and cause confusion.
Lord, let only truth be spoken, truth of what YOU have preordained for my healing. Lord I walk into this building or office with a smile knowing you are going before me and you are handling all spirits in this room."
When you know you are following the Shepherd, you have the joy of knowing God is fighting your battles, now walk in with JOY in your heart! 😀
Walking into a home that is contemptuous..
"Lord, as I walk into this home, I pray dear Lord that
you are my right hand. You are the one who will show me when to be silent, when to speak love. Lord guide my heart to hear your words and to touch the heart of the person who is upset."
When we read 'The Lord is my Shepherd', it means we are following His lead. His lead is to trust Him.
So, let me encourage you. As you are about to enter any place or building, whether there is contention or complete joy, let that
threshold be a reminder to follow the Shepherd into that dwelling. Let him guide you and give you strength. Let the smile on your face be the reminder, you are not alone. Believe me, it will confuse the enemy!
Now if this sounds familiar to you, yes, it is biblical. The mezuzah is the exact purpose of what we are saying.
Read here in
Deuteronomy 6:4-9
“Hear, Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! 5 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. 7 And you shall repeat them
diligently to your sons and speak of them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up. 8 You shall also tie them as a sign to
your hand, and they shall be as frontlets on your forehead. 9 You shall also write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Be encouraged, what you are walking through is not new to God. He is
there and desires to be the Shepherd of your day.
This threshold prayer has helped me feed my family well on a budget, it has helped me not be in fear while sitting in a doctor's office.
When I traveled with my mom to doctors for her cancer, some of the 'best of their field' tried to invoke fear, making my mom comply with their agenda. Sometimes we knew it was best, so she followed their protocol. Other times, we knew it would cause further harm, so we choose not
to.
The act of knowing the difference was speaking God's word in each situation. It was not deciding based on fear or intimidation; it was based on decisions bathed in prayer.
That is life giving! That is JOY!!!
And as scripture instructs us to teach this to our children and grandchildren, we too must teach our kids how to walk into school and be bold, because the Lord our God is going before them.
I hope this encourages you
today. If you desire to be in a group to work through situations like this, that is why we have the Inner Circle. It is an opportunity to bring whatever you desire to the table and we coach you through it to see God be the victor and you be blessed.
