(Lord, please help me to remember there is NO JOY in the absence of OBEDIENCE to my Sovereign God. When I find myself in the dark, Holy Spirit, please remind me that I feel this cold emptiness because I am refusing to act on what You have put on my heart to do. Satan is blinding me, encouraging me to follow what I want, which is that I don’t want to do what You are asking me to do. I rebuke you, Satan! Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ name, restore my desire to OBEY and restore my JOY. TYJ
(Jesus had an assignment from His Father that He didn’t want to go through, but He did it anyway in Obedience. This is what I must do to fulfill my assignments as the Holy Spirit undeniably reveals the Father’s request for me. It is just as important to the Father of Heaven and earth for me to OBEY His Call on my heart.
(Jesus always gave us His example to follow. He never asked anything of us that He hadn’t gone through Himself. Holy Spirit, please remind me of this and give me the Grace and the Power in Jesus’ name to be OBEDIENT.)
The Lord said, “Prepare your mind and heart for service to ME the rest of your days on earth. Just ACT when I CALL. Your life is meaningful and full of joy when touching another life for My sake.”
(Lord, please help me to remember there is NO JOY in the absence of OBEDIENCE to my Sovereign God.)
