Our Father…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

I pray that you all had time to reflect and be thankful for the many blessings in your life, over the holiday weekend. Whether it is your family, your health, or your ability to be able to talk to the Creator of the whole world, there are so many things to be thankful for today.

There are days that even though we are grateful, we still go through trials and tribulations in this thing called life. One thing to remember is that we are never alone. God promised to never leave us or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6).

On more than one occasion, in conversation, someone would talk to me about something they were going through. Inevitably, at some point in the conversation, they would share their frustration in not knowing how or what to pray for in their particular situation.

I would always remind them that Jesus had already taught us how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13.

Our prayers should be structured in this format:

1. Give God and the Kingdom of Heaven honor

2. Acknowledge that you want to be in agreement with what has been spoken and decreed in heaven.

3. Our prayers MUST be in agreement with the will of God. Our prayers are for what has been spoken in heaven to manifest on earth. It is not about our will.

4. In prayer, it is not about what we want. Ask God to teach you how to pray in agreement with heaven (Your will be done. Your kingdom come, on earth, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN).

4. Ask God to keep you from all hurt, harm, and danger. Ask for protection from any seen and unseen traps, snars, and witchcraft of the enemy. Ask God to teach you how to pray specifically over your home, town, and country, according to His will.

5. Close the prayer by acknowledging the majesty and power of God.

6. Seal your prayer with the all-powerful name of our Lord, Wayshower, and Redeemer Jesus, The Christ, who intercedes for us at the right hand of the Father.

That is the formula to effectively pray in ANY situation.

Never Alone…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Good morning, Precious Family:

We are approaching the end of another year at what seems like a lightening fast speed. It truly seems like yesterday that it was just January.

One thing I can definitely say is that God has been faithful to be with me throughout the year. Every day, I have felt God’s love surrounding me and keeping me. Has every day been perfect? Of course NOT. Perfection was never the promise. The promise was that God would be with us, even to the furthest ends of the earth.

Scriptures of Promise

Deuteronomy 31:8

New International Version

8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Worship Songs With a Promise

Today’s worship video is dedicated to Rev. Carlton Pearson. His heart was always in the right place. He just wanted people to know how much God loves each and one of us, as demonstrated by Jesus’ shed blood on Calvary.

Family, I pray that each of you knows that you are a part of a great family. As believers in the Finished Work of the Cross, we stand hand in hand on this journey we call life. May we learn and hold onto the secret things of God.

I love each of you with the amazing and everlasting love of our Lord and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

Crying Out…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To Wholeness4 Comments

Greetings, Precious Family:

I pray this week’s post finds you in a place of peace. As we walk with our Lord, we walk knowing that we are never alone. I know that we have all gone through seasons in our lives where we may feel as though God has abandoned us.

One thing my mother would always say, when I felt that God’s presence was gone from my life, is that God never walks away from us, but instead it is us who have knowingly or unknowingly walk away.

In those times, it is we who must humbly cry out to God and ask Him to pull us from the place we have found ourselves. We may have fast, pray, and consecrate our lives back to God, just as the Prophet Joel spoke about in the Old Testament. Without fail, God will hear the sincerity in our cry.

Scriptures of Consecration

Joel 1:13-20

New International Version

A Call to Lamentation

13 Put on sackcloth, you priests, and mourn;
    wail, you who minister before the altar.
Come, spend the night in sackcloth,
    you who minister before my God;
for the grain offerings and drink offerings
    are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Declare a holy fast;
    call a sacred assembly.
Summon the elders
    and all who live in the land
to the house of the Lord your God,
    and cry out to the Lord.

15 Alas for that day!
    For the day of the Lord is near;
    it will come like destruction from the Almighty.[a]

16 Has not the food been cut off
    before our very eyes—
joy and gladness
    from the house of our God?
17 The seeds are shriveled
    beneath the clods.[b]
The storehouses are in ruins,
    the granaries have been broken down,
    for the grain has dried up.
18 How the cattle moan!
    The herds mill about
because they have no pasture;
    even the flocks of sheep are suffering.

19 To you, Lord, I call,
    for fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness
    and flames have burned up all the trees of the field.
20 Even the wild animals pant for you;
    the streams of water have dried up
    and fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness.

Song of Consecration

Family, may we all be in a place that we are so close to God’s heart that we can hear in the whisper.

I love you all with the amazing and everlasting love of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ.

How Excellent

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

I pray that this week’s devotional finds you in a place of peace and joy in the Lord. As the old song lyrics say, “This joy that I have, the world didn’t give it and the world can’t take it away!” I believe Reverend Shirley Ceasar wrote that song, as I can only find her name as the author and composer.

We are right in the middle of the last quarter of the year for 2023. The world’s focus will slowly begin turning to the Christmas season. The birth of the only begotten of God is approaching. The perfect little lamb without spot, blemish, or sin has willingly taken off his godly robe to become a human being, but at the same time still continuing to be King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s.

As we approach the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior, may we meditate on the never-ending love that Jesus had and still has for us. We can sing with confidence, Oh Lord, Our Lord, how EXCELLENT is your name in all the earth. Hallelujah!!!

Scriptures of Adoration

Psalm 8

New International Version

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] A psalm of David.

Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory
    in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
    to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,
    the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
    which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?[c]

5 You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e]
    and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
    you put everything under their[g] feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
    and the animals of the wild,
8 the birds in the sky,
    and the fish in the sea,
    all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Song of Adoration and Praise

I love you, Family, with the never-ending perfect love of our Lord and Savior Jesus. The Christ.
