I wanted to share this devotion with each of you. I met this person through my church and eventually went on to design his website. He began to send me his Daily Devotions and they have truly been an inspiration and confirmation of what God has promised me.
BE BLESSED!
___________________

Good Morning all and Happy, Happy Tuesday to YOU! I greet you on this wonderfully blessed morning in the merciful and matchless name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This is yet another day that the Lord has made. I am rejoicing and being glad in it. I encourage you to do the same. This day has been ordained just for you. What will you do with it? We are again experiencing a brand new mercy!

I trust that all is well with you, as it is with me.

This morning?s devotional deals with the end of a thing. Yes, the end!

Revelation 7:14:17 ? And I said to him Sir, you know. So he said to me, these are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and make them white in the blood of the lamb; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.

There are some things in life that we need to thank God for that have ended. Thank you God for the end!

How many times have you been emotionally tormented regarding a particular situation?

How many situations have you struggled with over and over and over again?

Have you struggled with debt, unhealthy relationships, double-mindedness and uncertainty, just to name a few?

Are there things that you have fumbled over long enough?

Are there people in your life who cause you to have the ?boomerang effect? where your emotion are tossed back and forth?

There comes a time when God says, ?the end?. Aren?t you glad about that?

In all of your human strength, you tried everything you could to make it stop, to make it go away, to make them go away, but to no avail it continued.

But we serve a God, who in His infinite wisdom and power knows just how much we can bear.

Thank God for the end!

The Word of the Lord:

There is coming a great shift in relationships with whom you have in your life. Think it not strange that I have revealed and yes, even exposed the enemy. It is working for your good. Do not turn back to your ways of old. Walk into the path for which I have called you. These next few months ahead will be a time of isolation for you where you will prepare for the great outpouring that I have for you. In this period of isolation, I will bring elevation. Elevation to another level in Me. You will not be understood by many, but obey this Word to you. The Word of God declares that where two or three are gathered, I will be in the midst. This is what your circle of association will consist of, two or three. Do not fret and do not worry. Let the dead branches drop from the tree. They do not belong; they never did, for they have hung around long enough. A great shift has come. Focus on the promise that I gave you. This is the time of preparation. A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. Do not be double-minded, but let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. For when I release you, you will possess your heart?s desires. I have seen your tears and heard your innermost requests. I am God! The right relationships will come! Accept this call and be blessed!

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

P.S. ? When a person shows you who they are, believe them! THE END!

Daily Devotion | Jan. 19, 2006 - Following Simple Instructions

Good morning all and Happy, Happy Wednesday to YOU! I greet you on this wonderfully blessed morning in the gracious and giving name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! This is yet another day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it! No weapon that is formed against us shall prosper! This day has been ordained just for you! What will you do with it? We are yet experiencing a brand new mercy.

I trust this email finds you doing well, as I am.

Psalms 37: 1-2 ? Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity; for they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither as the green herb.

Psalm 37:9:12:20:32:38 ? For evildoers shall be cut off; the wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord laughs at him, for He sees that his day is coming. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord, like the splendor of the meadows shall vanish, into smoke they shall vanish away; the wicked watches the righteous and seeks to slay him, the Lord will not leave him in his hand; but the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.

This morning?s devotional is quick and to the point!

Are there people in your life who are causing and wrecking havoc?

The Word of God declares that your enemy (ies) will be cut off.

Whoever it is that is against you today, will be destroyed.

Let God arise today and let His enemies be scattered!

The Word of The Lord

Fret not, for I see what is happening. I see the plot and I see the plan
that has been set forth. No, the whole truth has not yet been revealed,
but I will reveal it to you. Even though the enemy has kept secrets and operated in deception, they will soon be exposed. The enemy will be exposed for who they really are. Think it not strange that all of this is occurring at this present time in your life. Notice that it is happening in the first month of the year, for I do not want you to carry this thing any longer. Let it go! This is the time of preparation, isolation and above all, elevation. All of this is happening and working out for your
good. Believe Me when I say this. I say that the cunning and scheming
ways of the enemy are over! I say that your enemies will be destroyed. There is no need for you to fret any longer or to even lift a finger in this particular situation. For in just a few days you will gain the victory. For the enemies of this present situation will turn on their own
self. This battle does not belong to you. It is all Mine. They shall
all be destroyed together!

Make it an excellent day!

Daily Devotion | Jan. 19, 2006 - Following Simple Instructions

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Thursday to YOU! I greet you on today in the powerful and precious name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! This is yet another day that the Lord has made. It is a day to rejoice and be glad.I am experiencing a brand new mercy on today, how about you?

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am.

This morning, under the instruction of the Holy Spirit, I remit this devotional centering on OBEDIENCE!

To be or not to be, that is the question.

Ecclesiastes 5:1- Better to draw near in obedience than to offer the sacrifice as fools do, for they are ignorant and do wrong.

It is my belief that many people are in a holding pattern due to the lack of obedience to obey the voice of GOD and yes, simple obedience to the written Word of GOD.

Have you ever questioned yourself and wondered why certain things just do not work out for you? Have you ever examined yourself closely?

Have you tried the Word of God and proved its power? Or do you continue to operate in your own selfish will and use excuse, after excuse, after excuse to certify your own disobedience and way of doing things?

No one is exempt from the area of obedience. Is it easy to be obedient? I will leave that up to you to answer.

Certainly is it my prayer that you not beat yourself up after reading this email, but it is my prayer that the Holy Spirit would prick your heart.

I admonish you on today to become obedient to the Word and Voice of God. Not out of fear but out of love for God and the willingness to not disappoint your heavenly Father.

Has He not been a Keeper of His word to you? Has He not been obedient and consistent in providing for you?

The Word of the Lord:

Some of you are wavering in your faith. It is not because I have not proven myself to you. It is due to your lack of obedience to the things which you know to be right, yet you consistently find ways to be disobedient. Why is it that you cannot obey simple instructions? For some of you, it is the crowd in which you surround yourself. You are fighting to be obedient on the wrong territory. For you are warring on the enemy's territory. For some of you, it is the environment in which you place yourself. I say unto you today, rid yourself of every deterent that would come to stop the flow of blessings in your life. The time has come for the excuses to stop. How many more can you come up with. I will supply every need, just like I said I would. My only requirement is your obedience. Try me now and see!

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | Jan. 20, 2006 - In His Presence

Good Morning to All and Happy, Happy Friday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful, sunny morning in the Almighty name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! I greet you also with love, joy and abundant peace in my heart. This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. This is a day that you have not seen and it has been ordained just for you! I dare you to experience the awesomeness of GOD!

I trust this email finds all doing well as I am.

Psalm 16:11 - You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Are you currently dealing with feelings of inadequacy, rejection, loneliness, anger, bitterness and despair?

Are you discouraged with your present life situation and you just do not know what to do?

The Word of God says that in the presence of God there is fullness of joy!

Let me be a witness on today, when you get in the presence of God, there is fullness of joy. There is a great release of all your cares, hurts, dislikes, disappointments, concerns and worries. As a matter of fact, nothing unlike Christ can stand in His presence.

In His presence, there is healing, restoration, joy, peace, love, acceptance and acknowledgement that God really does care for you. Although you may have been rejected by man, God accepts you in His presence.

In His presence, there is vision, guidance, and direction.

I challenge you today to get in the presence of God.

Word of the Lord today:

For in my presence, you will be able to release that thing that has held you hostage. It shall drop off of you like leaves from a tree. But only in My presence. Your internal struggle has been great and the press has been mighty, but because I see your heart and understand right where you are, you are about to experience redirection in the spirit realm which will manifest itself naturally. Stay in my presence.What you are currently experiencing is only a set up for a cleansing of the old and a step into the new thing in which I am continuing to perform for you. Stay in my presence. Don't loose focus. Don't give up. For the enemy is up to his old tricks again. He knows the plans that I have for you and they are to prosper you. This prosperity is not monetary, this prosperity is full of purpose and favor. For in my presence you will gain full access and the enemy of your soul cannot and will not gain entry. But only in My presence.

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

P.S. - It is my prayer that your weekend be filled with peace, protection and productivity! :-)

Re: Daily Devotion | Jan. 23, 2006 - A Shield of Protection

Good Morning all and Happy, Happy Monday to YOU! I greet you this beautiful morning in the matchless name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. It is yet another day that you have not seen before! It is a day to rejoice and be glad. This day has been ordained just for you! Maximize every moment!

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am. I also trust that all had a wonderfully blessed weekend!

Psalms 64: 1-10 - O God, listen to my complaint. Do not let my enemies' threats overwhelm me. Protect me from the plots of the wicked, from the scheming of those who do evil. Sharp tongues are the swords they wield; bitter words are the arrows they aim. They shoot from ambush at the innocent, attacking suddenly and fearlessly. They encourage each other to do evil and plan how to set their traps. "Who will ever notice?" they ask. As they plot their crimes, they say, "We have devised the perfect plan!" Yes, the human heart and mind are cunning.

But God himself will shoot them down. Suddenly, his arrows will pierce them. Their own words will be turned against them, destroying them. All who see it happening will shake their heads in scorn. Then everyone will stand in awe, proclaiming the mighty acts of God, realizing all the amazing things he does. The godly will rejoice in the LORD and find shelter in him. And those who do what is right will praise him.

It is my prayer today that you be kept from the hand of the enemy.

A lot of times we look at the enemy as someone who visibly is causing or wrecking havoc in our lifes. But I admonish you today to look through the spiritual eyes of GOD. The enemy of your soul does not necessarily look like what we think the enemy looks like. Because the devil is so schrewd and cunning in his devices against those who really love GOD, he comes in
many shapes and forms. The devil will use anybody and any circumstance to
destroy the plans that GOD has so richly in store for your life.

Please hear what I am saying to you today. Please hear my heart.

In all transparency, because I have experienced the pleasantries of the enemy and because I had blinders on, I feel into the traps of the enemy. Everything looked and sounded great! But today, I come as a life raft to your soul. Grab hold!

The enemy has to be viewed in the spirit realm and not always in the natural.

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | Can You Be Trusted?

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy, Tuesday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the precious and matchless name of my Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ! This is yet another day that you have not seen before. I
admonish you to rejoice and be glad in it.....and again, I say rejoice.
Take it not for granted that you have been allowed to see this day! This
day was destined just for you........

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am.

This morning's devotional is short in nature, but significant in
measure...........

Luke 16: 10 -13 Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in
much; and whoever is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in
much. So if you have not been faithful with the unrighteous money, who
will trust you with what is genuine? And if you have not been faithful
with what belongs to someone else, who will give you what is your own? No
servant can be the slave of two masters, since either he will hate one and
love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.

How many times has GOD entrusted you with his blessings of favor in your life?

How many times has he blessed you even inspite of yourself?

How many times have you received the blessings of God and continued to be
disobedient in your ways, even though you knew better?

If you can't be faithful in the little things, do you honestly expect the big things
to become manifest?

I ask you this:

CAN GOD TRUST YOU?

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | A Precious Gift, Friendship-Time

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Wednesday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful sunny morning in the precious and matchless name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive! It is yet another day that you have not seen before. If I were you, I would rejoice and be glad in it! Take it not lightly that you been allowed another opportunity to experience life! This day has been ordained just for you. What will you do with it?

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am.

I Samuel 18:3 - Jonathan swore eternal friendship with David because of his deep affection for him

In life, we come across many, many people, but rarely do we find a " true friend". Believe it or not, they are hard to come by. We encounter co-workers, associates, and acquaintances, but a true and tried friend is rare. Thank God for your "real friends", for they are gifts from GOD. Never take them for granted. Again, never take the precious gift of true friendship for granted.

The older I get, the more I realize the value of real friendships.
Friendships that are full of integrity. I cherish them.

Real relationships (friendships) have to be tried and tested and hear me when I say, this does not happen overnight.

The essence of life is relationships - your relationship with God, your spouse, your kids and your friends.

Life is all about love. God wants you to be in regular, close fellowship with other believers so you can develop the skill of loving. You have to be around people-irritating, imperfect, frustrating people. Relationships must have priority in your life above everything else. Why? Life without love is really worthless. Relationships, not achievements or the acquisition of things, are what matters most in life.

Busyness is a great enemy of relationships. We become preoccupied with making a living, doing our work, paying bills and accomplishing goals as if these tasks are the point of life. They are not. The point of life is learning to love - GOD and people. Life minus love equals zero.

One of the ways God measures SPIRITUAL MATURITY is by the quality of your relationships. It is not enough just to say relationships are important; we must prove it by investing time in them. Words alone are worthless. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.

The importance of things can be measured by how much time you are willing to invest in them. If you want to know a person's priorities, just look at how they use their time.

Do you want to give someone a gift that is priceless?

If your answer was yes, GIVE SOMEONE YOUR TIME!

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | Jan. 26, 2006 - Is There Anything Too Hard?

Good Morning All and Happy Thursday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the precious and almighty name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. It is yet another day that you have not seen before. It is a day to rejoice and be glad! This day has been ordained just for you! Again, I say unto you, REJOICE! Even in spite of your "now" circumstances, situations, dilemmas, ups, downs, pitfalls, disappointments, let-downs and failures..........REJOICE!

I trust that this email finds all doing well, as I am.

Genesis 18:14 - Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."

Jeremiah 32:17 - 'Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.

What are you in need of today?

Are you still believing God for the impossible to happen?

What difficult situation do you find yourself faced with today?

Has God given you a promise?

Financial difficulties, relationship issues, career dilemmas, personal (inner)
struggles, are any of these your current plight?

I take you on a journey this morning to the Book of Genesis, Chapter 18. (read it
for yourself)

I ask you this morning, is there anything too hard for God?

The God that you and I serve can do anything. There is nothing too hard for Him.

The Word of the Lord:

I see your struggle. I see your pain. I know you. I made you. I am very well
aware of your current situation. I say unto you today, there is nothing too hard
for me to handle. I can turn your dark situation to light. I can turn your painful
situation to joy. I can turn your mourning into dancing. I know your name. I have
seen the tears and I have heard you everytime you called on Me. I am here and I am
God. There is nothing too hard for me. I ask that you release your situation to me
today. For I truly do care for you. There is nothing too hard!

THERE IS NOTHING TOO HARD FOR GOD

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | Jan. 30, 2006 | As Though They Were.....

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Monday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the precious, peaceful and powerful name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. I greet you with peace in my heart, mind and spirit on today. Knowing the God is still God and He always will be. This is yet another day that YOU have not seen before. It is a day to rejoice and be glad in it. This day has been ordained just for you! I am experiencing a brand new mercy! How about you?

I trust that all had a wonderful weekend and that all is well, as it is with me. We serve an awesome God!

I come to you this morning with new found faith and belief in God that He is able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that I can ask or even imagine. I believe and I trust God. I know and am very well aware of what the current situation looks like, but I also know the power of God and what He spoke over my life.

I surely thank God for this Word that He so richly deposited into my spirit for you today.

Romans 4: 17-18 - (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many
nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.


In life, we are often surrounded by circumstances that are contrary to what we know
to be true concerning the promises of God over our life.

There are times when we as a people are hit on everyside. We become discouraged and
disenchanted with life and all of the challenges that it brings; however, the Word
of God declares that we need to start speaking (calling) those things as though they
already were.

You see, the facts may dictate that I am financially challenged, but the truth is
that the God I serve owns a cattle on thousand hills and He will supply every need
according to His riches in glory.

You see, the facts may dictate that I am sick in my body and spirit, but the truth
is that by His stripes I am healed.

Don't get the facts mixed up with the truth. There is a difference.

There is a big difference in what currently exists than what God says in His Word.

I challenge you today to begin to start calling things as though they already exist.
Dream again. Make declarations over your own life.

I choose to believe the Word of God.

It is my prayer that God would lift your life up this year.

I command blessings of health, wealth and spiritual prosperity!

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Daily Devotion | Jan. 31, 2006 | Watch The Company

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Tuesday to YOU! I greet you on this wonderful new morning in the precious and Almighty name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! This is yet another day that the Lord has made. I am rejoicing and being glad in it. This day has been destined just for you. What you do with it is up to you.

I trust that this email finds all doing well, as I am.

Psalm 1:1-3: How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law he meditates day and night; he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water; which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers.

Who are you currently tied to? In your own personal relationships, are you tied to other believers? Or are you unequally yoked to people who are in your inner circle of friends?

Do you ever wonder why you go through certain things, feelings, and emotions that may be unwarranted? Are you a believer and those that you closely surround yourself with are not?

Is your soul tied to the ?wrong crowd?? Do you run with the wrong set of people?

Are you currently "dibbling and dabbling" in wrong behavior, relationships and transactions? Are you saying to yourself, no one will ever know or find out about it?

Are you currently expending yourself to your own devices with a return destined for destruction?

How many times have you extended Christ to those who are not believers of the Word of God who are in your circle? How many times have you been persuaded to do the wrong thing and you have never persuaded those in your circle of friends who do not know Christ to do the right thing?

This morning I admonish you to seriously examine yourself. Begin to really take inventory of your ways. Begin to seriously watch the company you keep! Believe it or not, the company you keep affects your destination in life!

Association brings about assimilation!

We are familiar with the old saying, ?Birds of a feather flock together?. It?s true, they do!

Have you ever wondered why certain people tend to attract each other without even knowing one thing about the other person?

I charge you today to surround yourself with people who are of the same mind set as you.

I Corinthians 15:33- Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals." *Become right-minded and stop sinning, because some people are ignorant about God.

Surround yourself with people who encourage you do live right, do the right things, and become a better person!

Watch the company you keep!

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | Feb 1, 2006 | Choices

Good Morning All and Happy Wonderful Wednesday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the merciful and matchless name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. This is yet another day that the Lord has made. If I were you, I would take His command to rejoice and be glad. Think it not strange that you have been given another opportunity to experience the awesomeness of God!

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am!

This morning's devotional is a repeat from a good while ago; however, I sense that it is still appropriate to this current day.

John 10:10 - The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


Learn how to say NO! The key to getting what you want is rejecting what you don't
want! Life is like a buffet! Take what you like and leave behind the offers that
don't fit your highest wish. What you walk away from determines what you walk in
to.

In life, we have choices. Unfortunately, many people make the wrong choices and
have to deal with the consequences of them.

How many times have you said "yes" to the wrong person, place or thing? How many
times have you willfully walked into trouble, turmoil, distress and disaster, while
knowing deep down on the inside that this is not the right decision or the right
thing to do?

How many times have you been lead by your flesh? and how many times has your flesh
reaped destruction as a result of your spontaneous, irrational, uninformed
decision(s)?

I have good news for you today!

The good news is that God will never leave you in a terrible situation! Some
situations we are placed in come to make us stronger!

Some situations we choose to "dibble and dabble" in come to teach us valuable
lessons in life.

I admonish you today to choose life!

The Word of God declares that we are to have life and that more abundantly!

What is keeping you from experiencing life more abundantly? Who is keeping you from
experiencing life more abundantly?

I do not know about you, but I am looking for the overflow, and anything and anybody
that would come to block that, has to go! (in Jesus name)

I admonish you again on today, learn to say no to those things and people that would
come to destroy you. The thief comes to kill, steal and destroy. The thief looks
good, smells good and behaves good, until he has got you! He has no regard for your
life!

Choose wisely today! You deserve only the best!

If God is not in it, get out of it!

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Good Morning All and Happy Wonderful Wednesday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the merciful and matchless name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. This is yet another day that the Lord has made. If I were you, I would take His command to rejoice and be glad. Think it not strange that you have been given another opportunity to experience the awesomeness of God!

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am!

This morning's devotional is a repeat from a good while ago; however, I sense that it is still appropriate to this current day.

John 10:10 - The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


Learn how to say NO! The key to getting what you want is rejecting what you don't
want! Life is like a buffet! Take what you like and leave behind the offers that
don't fit your highest wish. What you walk away from determines what you walk in
to.

In life, we have choices. Unfortunately, many people make the wrong choices and
have to deal with the consequences of them.

How many times have you said "yes" to the wrong person, place or thing? How many
times have you willfully walked into trouble, turmoil, distress and disaster, while
knowing deep down on the inside that this is not the right decision or the right
thing to do?

How many times have you been lead by your flesh? and how many times has your flesh
reaped destruction as a result of your spontaneous, irrational, uninformed
decision(s)?
