Day 31 of 365: Get In Position

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, in almost every sport I have seen played or played myself, there is always a particular position to get in depending on what game is being played.

If you are on a team of players, then there could be several different people playing at different positions. Most teams have a least one coach and almost all teams have a play book that players must practice and learn, so that when they are playing a real game the coach will yell a play and players will run and execute that play. 

The players know the coach’s voice so well that even though there may be hundreds or even thousands of people there at the game, the players can pick out the coach’s voice because they are so familiar with hearing it.

This is why it is so important to spend intimate time with God every single day. You need to be able to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice so well that you can tell Its voice from any other. We also need to know God’s Word so well that at a moments notice, we can recall a certain scripture passage in times of need.

Scripture Passage of the Day

John 10:27-30
New King James Version


27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 I and My Father are one.”

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, you are such an amazing Comforter. Thank you for dwelling inside of us and taking residence in the seat of our soul. May we always hear your voice, as we are your sheep. Teach us to fall in love with the Word of God so that we can save it in our hearts and minds. May we forever be hungry for more of you. In Jesus’ name.

And we let it be…And so it is…

Amen, Amen, and Amen.

Day 30 of 365: The Blessing

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, one of my favorite scripture passages comes from the Apostle John. In it, he addresses a letter to Gaius, who was a leader in the early Christian church. The blessing that John gives to him is such a beautiful blessing in its totality. My prayer is the same for you all.

Scripture Passage of the Day

3 John
New King James Version
Greeting to Gaius

1 The Elder,

To the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth:

2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in [a]truth.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for wanting the very best for us, which is to be in good health in mind, body, soul, and spirit.  Our physical health is important, as is our spiritual health. Physically, if we have things in our health that we can correct and prevent, it is best to make changes and be disciplined enough to correct the problem. Jesus, please help me to be as concerned for physical health as I am for spiritual health. I want to serve you with all of me.

And we let it be…And so it is..

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Day 29 of 365: Asking For Prayer

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Well, tonight’s devotional is going to be a little different. I am disabled and suffer from severe arthritis in my spine, knees, hips, etc. Along with thst I carry extra weight that I have put on since I lost a my mobility.

I have fallen a few times, but tonight was the worst fall so far. We had to call 911 this evening, and it took several fire fighters to get me off the ground. I feel like a failure, and my pride is bruised.

I ask for your prayers this evening…

Right now, the only prayer I have is…

Lord, please help me!!!

Day 28 of 365: Transparency

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, when I think about being transparent, I think about being real with nothing hidden. This is especially important when coming before the Lord, as God already knows our heart and our intentions.

If we lift prayers to the Lord, be sure to speak the truth of where you are… no shame, just the truth. It is then that God will meet you where you are..

Scripture Passage of the Day

Jeremiah 17:9-10
New International Version


9 The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?

10 “I the Lord search the heart
and examine the mind,
to reward each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve.”

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, we bless your holy name. We come to you humbly asking you to search our hearts. Cleanse us and use us for your glory. Help us to know the gifts, talents, and skills you have placed in us for your Kingdom. Lead us and guide us to the places that will develop and mature us so that when you call on us, we will be ready.

And we let it be…And so it is

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Day 27 of 365: Midlife Stockman

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Yes, I know today’s title is somewhat odd, but it will make sense in just a few more minutes.

Sean Stockman is a regular guy who was facing midlife stagnation and decided one day to do something different. He began a YouTube channel that focuses on restoring dignity and creating positive change in Detroit neighborhoods.

What he has done has not only changed his life but hundreds of people in Detroit and millions of subscribers around the world. Sean is a Christian and is literally being a light to so many who may have lost hope. What if he was the only encounter people had with Jesus? He wasn’t knocking on doors telling people about Jesus. He became the hands and feet of Jesus. He saw a need and stepped into action. What an amazing story. How can God use your gifts and talents to bring hope and joy to the world?

Scripture Passage of the Day

Colossians 3:23-24
New International Version


23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for allowing me to be used by you. Please show me daily how I can be of service to you and the Kingdom. It is for your glory, Lord.

And we let it be…And so it is…

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Day 26 of 365: God’s Timing

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

There is so much that happens under the timing of God. In the seasons of God, there is joy, happiness, laughter, as well as hurt, death, and pain. The one constant in each and every season is that the Lord will always be by our side… loving us forever.

Scripture Passage of the Day

Romans 8:38-39
New Living Translation


38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Day 25 of 365: The Prayer

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, with more than half of the United States under a winter storm advisory, I pray that you are all safe.

Remember to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you and tell them often. Don’t wait for a special occasion or holiday to tell your loved ones how you feel because tomorrow is not promised to anyone.

Scripture Passage of the Day

Galatians 5:13
New International Version
Life by the Spirit


13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, we bless your holy and righteous name. You alone are the key to eternal life. Teach us every day to share the love that dwells on the inside of us. A love that comes from having a relationship with you naturally pours out onto others.

And we let it be… And so it is…

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Day 23/24 of 365: Favor

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, one of the blessings that comes with walking in obedience to the Cross of Jesus Christ, is an abundance of favor. What is favor you ask? The favor of God feels like a warm hug and open doors, even when I didn’t ask for it and definitely didn’t deserve it.

The reason is that God promised to do exceedingly and abundantly more than I can ask or think, as long as I walk in obedience and truth.

God promised that if I delight myself in Him, that he would give me the desires of my heart. If you don’t believe me, just read below.

Remember this… the blessing is a two-way street. Delight your heart in the Lord, THEN the blessings will come.

Scripture Passage of the Day

Psalm 37:3-7
New International Version


3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.

7 Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for loving me, even when I was unlovable. Thank you for seeing me as perfect, because of Jesus’s blood sacrifice and victory over the grave. Thank you for giving me access to blessings, favor, and peace even when I didn’t deserve it. I humbly bow before you in holy reverence. Holy are you, Lord. In Jesus name.

And we let it be…And so it is…

Amen, Amen, and Amen

Day 22 of 365: Still

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, I have said so many times before that music is my first love. I especially have a special soft place in my heart for songwriters. One of my favorite worshippers and songwriters is Jonathan McReynolds.

Today’s devotional is going to be a little bit different. Today, I am sharing a snippet of the lyrics to the song “Still” sung by Jonathan McReynolds and Jamal Roberts. Please read the lyrics carefully and then think about the magnificent and beautiful grace of God.

The songwriters are:

Britney Delagraentiss / David Lamar Outing III / Jonathan McReynolds / Orlando Joel Palmer / Terrell Demetrius Wilson


Still lyrics © Integrity Music, Music Services, Inc, Songtrust Ave

Still

Never, could I imagine
A Father so holy, patient, and kind
Would choose to stay right beside me
WHen He knows the shadows that come with the light
And He sees all the things I don’t want to be seen
And He Hears every whisper as if they were screams
And He still, He still loves me
Now, could you imagine
Someone as broken and wretched as me
Could be welcomed into his family
Given a hope and a destiny, ooh
And He sees where I am
And He knows where I’ve been
And He knows the whole story
From beginning to end
And He still, He still
See, He sees every flaw and every mistake
But there’s nothing I can do to push Him away
And He still, He still
He still-, He still
He still-, He still loves me (He still loves me)
Yeah, ohh

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, your grace and mercy takes my breath away every time I think about the depth, width, and height of your love. Your love amazes me every single day. May we never take your grace and unending love for granted. In the name of Jesus we do pray.

And we let it be…And so it is

Amen…Amen…Amen

Day 21 of 365: The Healing Journey

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, when I was in the last year of my masters degree, one of the things that we were taught is that before we help heal anyone else, God will work on healing us.

It was recommended that we get counseling while training to be counselors, due the nature of what might resurface as we progress in our degree.

In the same way, the Lord wants to heal us before we can move further in our journey. Are there any areas that God wants to heal in you? Let Him do it. He’ll heal, if you would just allow him.

Scripture of the Day

Isaiah 61:1-3
New International Version
The Year of the Lord’s Favor


61 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,[a]
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, how majestic is your name. Thank you for your love toward us. Thank you for your grace toward us. Lead us and guide us as only you can to the Path of our perfect healing. We yield to your will and say, “Have your way,” because we don’t want any part of us to stand in the way of being used by you. In Jesus name we do do pray.

And we let it be…And so it is…

Amen, Amen, and Amen
