Good morning ☀️
I’m reading Deuteronomy 28. The first 14 verses promise BLESSINGS for obedience and the remaining 53 verses describe CURSES for disobedience. Prosperity preachers focus on the blessings and rarely mention the curses. We would do well to read and meditate on the entire chapter.
Let’s start our day with some of the blessings realizing they are conditional.
“If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.”
We seem to be living through the curses right now. #pray #Christian #Israel #America Human ingenuity will not solve the world’s problems.
Greetings 👋
Do you remember Chariots of Fire?
“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Isaiah 40: 28-31 (NIV).

Have you ever experienced the power and the mystery of the Holy Spirit? It is unfathomable.
“If you love me, obey my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth.
The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him.
But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.
Soon the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Since I live, you also will live.”
John 14: 15-19 (NLT).
