“So why do you call Me ‘Lord,’ when you won’t obey Me?”
Luke 6:46 (NLT)

MARCH 31 - Isn’t it interesting to note how many believers tell people, “This is what Jesus told me,” when there is no evidence that they ever intended to obey the Word of God in the first place? Let me encourage
you—remove the phrase, “God told me” from your vocabulary today.

I am not saying that God will not speak to you, but people who place God’s name upon a specific thought or a certain action cause great confusion in the body of Christ. Just imagine if you tell somebody that God told you to do this or that, and you made a mistake and it wasn’t really God at all. What is going to happen on the inside of that other individual?

In my opinion, too many believers seek to hear the voice of Jesus before they are ever willing to meditate and submit to His Word. God will not instruct anyone who does not take the time to meditate upon and consistently obey His Word. God only speaks in accordance to what His Word already declares.

And isn’t it also amazing that believers attempt to say Jesus told them something that goes contrary to what the scriptures declare? Friends, we must be faithful to filter our thoughts through His Word in order to make sure they line up. If our thoughts do not line up with His Word, then we must dismiss the thought, “God told me.” You will never truly hear what Jesus says until you do what Jesus said.

Stronger Everyday - Confession CD

In the times we live in, the temptation for us is to become weaker in most areas of life. Pressure to compromise is coming from every direction. God’s Word encourages us to stand and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Philippians tells us to press toward God’s mark. The Proverbs 31 woman is energetic and strong. Now is not the time to grow weary in well-doing.

Our strength is from the Lord. As you listen to and confess these scriptures you will be empowered with strength and able to face the pressures that come your way.

“Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.”
Ecclesiastes 11:1 (NKJV)

MARCH 30 - Faith and patience are key factors in the process of sowing seed. Anyone who has been a giver for any length of time understands there is a vital season of waiting between every seed sown and every harvest grown. Notice the scripture above states, “…it will come back to you after many days.” There is a season of time between when we sow our seed, and when we reap a harvest.

One’s unwillingness to wait patiently has aborted the harvest of countless seeds. You must be willing to trust God through the seasons of waiting. Israel’s shepherds had a choice—they could either sow superior
seeds with their neighbors by being careful where their flocks grazed, or they could sow unfavorable seeds by allowing their animals to roam freely upon other people’s properties, instead of waiting for suitable lands. Their peers viewed those who were impatient as dishonest.

Impatience weakens our faith to the point where we begin to entertain thoughts that sowing doesn’t work. We must keep up our faith, remain patient, and decisively obey the laws of God concerning sowing and reaping…then our harvest is assured. Friends, never grow weary, for in due time, you shall receive your overflowing harvest.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I am a giver. I know that with the measure I give, my harvest will be given back to me; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing shall men give unto my bosom.

“Do you not know that those who run in a race all run,
but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.”
1 Corinthians 9:24 (NKJV)

MARCH 29 - Often working in conjunction with the Hebrew farmer was the shepherd. Few Bible students realize, however, the tremendous sacrifice true shepherds faced. Often exposed to frigid, inclement weather, he dressed in rough animal skins, carrying a thick club for protection against thieves and wild animals. When the flocks remained outdoors at night, the shepherd slept attentively beside his flock, waking several times to ensure their safety. Sacrifice—this principle stands true in any area of life—diets, stronger relationship with God, finances, intimacy between spouses, etc. I have discovered that life doesn’t usually give us what
we want. Life usually gives to us what we deserve. Or perhaps I can state it this way: life gives us what we work for, not what we think we should have. The Bible says, “Go to the ant you sluggard! Consider her
way and be wise, which, having no captain, overseer or ruler, provides her supplies in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.”

Excellence doesn’t just happen by chance. You have to passionately and diligently pursue it. Excellence comes with a price tag, but I guarantee it is cheaper than compromise. Compromise costs your life, whereas
excellence asks from you to give 100% every day. Make every day count. Live as though today was your last day on earth. Learn sacrifice, and obtain the prize by:

• Paying any price to change.
• Paying the price to have a deeper relationship with God.

You’ll never be the same once you make the dedicated decision to pursue excellence in every area of your life.

Father, I thank You that I am in Christ and all that matters is that Christ is in me.

“You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.”
John 15:14 (NKJV)

MARCH 28 - God says that those whom He placed within our lives to lead us do not bear the sword in vain. If our superiors have to use the “sword” on us, we know that we did not qualify for God’s rewards.

God has scheduled the benefits I will enjoy if I love my wife as Christ loves the church. He has also scheduled negative consequences if I choose not to love my wife. That is why I don’t concern myself
with her role as a wife; that is her responsibility. My job is to make certain that I fulfill my role as husband so I can enjoy the benefits of my obedience to God!

God cannot change the consequences of our choices, for consequences are dictated by the universal law of sowing and reaping, experienced by farmers of every race, color, and creed. If we choose to be disobedient, our rebellion initiates a time bomb that will eventually explode into a thousand pieces, bringing destruction into our lives, and shattering the lives of those around us.

I realize that I strongly influence the lives of those who are close to me. If that influence is not positive, then I don’t qualify for that relationship. Knowing this to be true, my prayer is that my friends and my superiors will confront me with what must be changed. This is the humble attitude God requires all of us to consistently maintain in our relationships. Only then can we experience the reward of positive relationships.

Father, I thank You that I am in Christ and all that matters is that Christ is in me.

“In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and He lives in all of us.”
Colossians 3:11 (NLT)

MARCH 27 - “Red and yellow, black and white…” brown, green, purple, or plaid, it doesn’t matter! All that matters in the world in which we live is the problems you choose to solve for others. Now, I understand that
certain socio-economic backgrounds or cultural characteristics may present you with more obstacles than another person, but you both have the same bulldozer with which to knock down those obstacles— problem solving is the key!

Israel’s farmers are blessed with two major seasons: the rainy season from October to April, and the dry season from approximately mid- May to mid-October. No matter what occurs with the weather, these
skillful planters are well prepared with irrigation systems arranged to water the fields. They have a huge problem to solve—feeding the people of their nation.

Unfortunately, many people nurse their own wounds, claiming that because of this or that, life isn’t fair to them. That’s certainly not true, and it rarely does any good. Instead, stand up tall, declare who you are
in Christ, and set out to be the answer to the problems in the world today. Life is no respecter of persons. God does not deny a person whose heart is set on solving problems. He is always faithful to you when you choose to be a problem solver.

Father, I thank You that I am in Christ and all that matters is that Christ is in me.

“And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him,
because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and
for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.”
1 Samuel 30:6 (KJV)

MARCH 26 - The Hebrew farmer’s preparations did not always go according to plan. Wind, hail, mildew, hot desert winds, or invasion by locusts, cankerworms, and caterpillars may have devastated his crops. When
this happened, did that farmer give up and curse God? When life doesn’t go the way you planned, step back. How can you righteously respond to the situation?

Remember, you are in charge of your attitude, so you cannot blame your response on anyone or anything but yourself. Understanding why you feel the way you do can relieve a lot of your frustration. Filter your
emotions through God’s Word. Find out how Jesus would respond. What would He do in your situation?

Attitude is not based on circumstances or people. It’s all about how we choose to respond! A wife cannot blame her depression on the way her husband treats her. An employee can’t blame his bad attitude on the boss. When his crops failed, the Hebrew farmer always had another season in which to plant, a divine opportunity to start all over again. There’s always something positive to focus upon—discover it, and you are on your way to a great future!

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that as David encouraged himself in You, so I encourage myself in You. I understand what is done to me does not seal the fate of my life, but how I respond to injustice determines my destiny.

Put It On: Women’s Conference 2007 - CD

The “Put It On” Women’s Conference contains the exciting ministry of the Family Harvest Church pastors’ wives from all over the United States! With colorful diversity, engaging humor, and refreshing honesty, these anointed women of God encourage you to not only dress stylishly on the outside, but to also put on the garments of Godly character.

The Bible tells us to “put on” several important things, including garments of praise, the new man, the armor of God, incorruption, immortality, tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, and long-suffering. A woman who clothes herself in these garments becomes exceedingly beautiful to her Bridegroom, Jesus (as well as to everyone around her)!

The teachings of this conference encourage you to give as much attention (maybe even more!) to dressing up the inside as you do to the outside. “Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised” (Proverbs 31:30, NLT).

“While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary,
but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
2 Corinthians 4:18 (NKJV)

MARCH 25 - It happens every year, doesn’t it? Whether it’s the winter’s first few inches of slushy snow, the tiniest threat of a brewing hurricane, or the slightest possibility of any perceived shortage; just as soon as the rumor hits the airwaves, what usually happens? You guessed it—the supermarkets are flooded with people, anxiety-driven folks who must charge out for milk and eggs, even though many of them have two refrigerators completely filled with food. Friends, we have to stop panicking! If we are going to believe God, then let’s act like it! Care, anxiety, and heart-stopping fear indicate that we lost sight of God’s promises. But how do we become fully persuaded, once and for all? Romans 10:17 says tells us that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”

To find a place of peace and overcome the worries in life, we must realize that everything externally functions precisely according to what we believe internally. Unless we are meditating on God’s Word, the outcome of our lives won’t be very appealing. Neither prayer nor any other activity can override the turmoil  created by neglecting the meditation of God’s Word. We must install God’s Word into our conscious and subconscious minds (with as much desire as when loading our favorite DVD), before we can walk in the peace that passes all understanding, creating an unwavering scarcity of anxiety and fear for the  remainder of our lives.

Father, I thank You that Your Word is eternal and unchanging. I am a champion, and I focus on the dream of my future.

“…but the message they heard did not benefit them,
because it was not mixed with faith…”
Hebrews 4:2 (AMP)

MARCH 24 - Strategically placed against the serenity of the emerald blue Mediterranean Sea, like a sapphire adhered to its setting, the tiny area of Palestine is even today desired for the robustly productive territory
it contains. Known as the land of “milk and honey” in Old Testament times, distinctive crops and indigenous plants such as black cumin, coriander, anise, cassia, and pomegranate make their home in the rich
soil of modern Israel. When this soil is actively cultivated, delicious goods are produced.

All of us know how important it is to make our works count, and to make certain that what we say actually happens. If we relentlessly hear about God’s Word and never act upon it, then nothing will happen for us. But we must stir the Word of God into our daily habits, as if combining tender Palestinian seasonings into a fantastic dish.
Blending it into our home life as well, it will wonderfully produce. As
we daily act on God’s Word, we experience productivity.

Develop an ability to act; you don’t need to rush, but neither should your time be squandered. Act when the instruction is fresh. There are many who intend to take action, but wait too long and the passion to produce dwindles away like seeds in the wind. Take action today on whatever you have procrastinated. Remember, faith is acting on the Word of God.

Father, I thank You that I am a person of faith. I mix action with what I hear from Your Word. I walk by what You say, and not by what I believe.

“He grants a treasure of good sense to the Godly.
He is their shield, protecting those who walk with integrity.”
Proverbs 2:7 (NLT)

MARCH 23 - No matter what problem or challenge we may face in our lives, we must, at all costs, conduct ourselves as people of integrity. Our integrity unmistakably defines who we are. We must fervently keep our word and conduct ourselves with a resolute adherence to God’s standards in order to represent Christ  effectively. By doing so, we are kept securely beneath the covenant promise of God’s protection. He is unable to protect us when we step out of the perimeter of His principles, which are clearly defined in Scripture.

Solomon speaks of this when he declares, “He is their shield, protecting those who walk in integrity.” We are to be absolutely committed to keep, not only the Word of God, but our word as well.

We can never afford to allow our integrity to be questioned. We must live above the expectations and standards set by others, over performing in all of our assignments. Remember, Satan comes to steal,
kill, and destroy; he prowls around like a lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Only our integrity delivers us from the brutal attacks of the enemy. But we must choose integrity, knowing that our future success depends upon it.

Father, I thank You for granting a treasure of good sense to me because I walk in Your ways. You are my shield protecting me in all of my dealings, for I walk with integrity.

“It is possible to give freely and become more wealthy, but those who are stingy will lose everything.”
Proverbs 11:24 (NLT)

MARCH 22 - For some time, the body of Christ has identified poverty with lack of money. Just because you don’t have money doesn’t mean you are impoverished. Many times, the lack of money or what is known as
poverty is the result of years of someone misguiding their money. Those who are obedient to sow their money always tend to have more. God is a God of abundance, and He has insight as to where we should sow.

I remember years ago, when I was a young boy, hearing a conversation between my mother and father. My father inquired of my mother, “What should we buy—beer or bread?” At that time, we didn’t have enough money for both, so they had to choose between beer and bread. My mother responded, “Let’s buy beer.” It wasn’t that my parents didn’t have money. They just used their money in the wrong way. God calls us to give a tenth to our church. He calls us to feed the poor and help those less fortunate, and to sow into the lives of others for the good they did in our lives. The moment we begin to follow these instructions is when our days of lack are over. When we focus our money in the right direction, money increases. We reap only what we sow. If we don’t sow anything, we have no right to expect a harvest. How do you spend your money? Do you see it as a seed, or simply money? Do you generously give it, or do you hoard it? Does it go toward the things of God, or toward fulfilling the lusts of your flesh? Where your money goes determines whether you walk in abundance or in poverty. Poverty is not the lack of money; poverty is the proof of misguided money. The choice is yours.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I am a giver. I generously scatter abroad, and I increase more. I refuse to withhold knowing it will lead to lack.
