Doing Whatever It Takes…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To Wholeness2 Comments

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

Family, it is 3:35 am Wednesday morning, here in Covington, Georgia. I pray that this week’s letter finds you well.

The Holy Spirit woke me up this morning with a message for us. The first thing I heard in my Spirit was, “I had to make sure you wanted it bad enough and that you would do whatever it took to reach your goals. Never take my provisions for granted.”

In my case, the Holy Spirit was speaking of my journey to completing my Masters degree. I have had so many hurdles trying to finish my goals. It seems like one road block after another. Some of the road blocks were created in consequence to decisions that I made.

After many months of setbacks, I was willing to do anything and go anywhere to complete my goal. I was willing to drive to other states, stay in hotels, and be away from my family in order to finish this race. Nothing was going to stand in my way. It was at this point of desperation that God opened a door less than 30 minutes from my house. God whispered to me, “I had to see that you were willing to do whatever it took to cross into your “Promise Land.” Your “Moses” was keeping you from entering in. I had to wait for you to have a Joshua spirit before I could allow you to enter.””

Family, when I say I felt ALL of that word from God!!! Whew, I felt it, and I repented for my previous attitude and soiled entitlement. I am humbled that God has now allowed me to enter my Promised Land just 30 minutes from my house.

Holy Scriptures

Joshua 1:1-6

New Catholic Bible

The Conquest of the Promised Land[a]

Chapter 1

Assurance of Divine Aid. 1 

After the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, the Lord spoke to Joshua, the son of Nun, the assistant of Moses, saying, 2 [b]“Moses my servant is dead. Rise, therefore, and cross over this Jordan, you and all of this people, to the land that I am giving to them, the people of Israel. 3 Every place that you set your feet down, I have given to you, as I promised to Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the Desert of Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all of the land of the Hittites, and as far as the great sea on the west. 5 No one will be able to withstand you, all the days of your life. I will treat you just as I treated Moses, for I will never forsake nor abandon you. 6 So be strong and take courage, for you will lead these people to inherit the land that I promised to their forefathers to give them.

Family, please walk with humbled-obedience and passion for the purposes God put on your life. Never take God’s provision and blessings for granted, as it may cost so much if you do. The journey that should have taken 4 days may take 40 years if you’re not ready.

I should have been finished with school months ago, but God knew some things had to be broken off in my life. I was originally called under the mantle of Moses, but I received the blessing of the Promise Land under the mantle of Joshua.

Now, I’m ready…

Don’t Get Distracted…

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord always be with you.

At the time I’m writing this letter, it is around 4:05 am on Wednesday morning in Covington, Georgia. The Holy Spirit woke me up and directed me to start praying about a matter.

The Holy Spirit of God was very clear in Its instruction for how I am to conduct my day, as I pray on this certain matter. My main instruction was to, “Stay in a place/mindset of holiness.” The second instruction from the Holy Spirit of God was, “Don’t get distracted.”

When God is preparing us for a purpose, assignment, mission, calling, or battle, we must be obedient and be in a mindset of holiness. I don’t mean holiness in terms of what some may think of as an outward showing, appearance, or spectacle. The maintenance of holiness I am speaking of is in the hardest battleground that we will ever face. Not only is the battleground challenging, but it’s also Invisible. The battleground I’m speaking of is the Mind.

Every decision we make begins in the Mind. Every thought we think has a purpose and carries weight. Will our decisions add light into the world, or will it add darkness? Will the decisions we make lead us to disobedience and sin, or will it lead to maturity and strength in the Lord.

The Word of God is very clear when it comes to how we should manage our thoughts.

Holy Scriptures

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

New International Version

3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Songs of Worship

Family, we are entering a season and time where we can not be distracted by what we see, feel, taste, or hear. We must set aside everything that may try to get our minds off the mission that God has given us.

My orders may be different from yours, but my obedience is the same. I have been given instructions, and I accept the mission and orders I have been given.

I pray your strength in the Lord. May the Light of Christ shine with you, on you, and through you so that it may draw others to Him. Don’t get distracted. Finish the Mission.

Your sister,

Rev. Marcia Davis
