Emotionalism is not in God's word. To many today are running after what makes them feel good instead of the spirit that produces truth and reality based on God's word.

Pastor Trent Breland

The Apostles had just returned from preaching and was giving Jesus a report of what had happened. No doubt he sensed their need for rest and called them away to a place they would be alone. The multitudes however followed them. Jesus began to minister to them and it was getting late in the day and he realized their need for food. With 5000 men plus women and children it would take a lot to feed them. There would not be an adequate source for food and he called on the apostles. Pennyworth was about a days wages.

God never takes a backward step. It is not His way; so, don’t you retreat in fear or intimidation when the going gets tough. Go through and come out the other side into the spacious place that God has prepared for you. God’s plan comes to pass through forward motion.

God will clearly speak to you about the critical issues of your life – the ones that have been causing you strain and distress. Divine direction is your portion in this season, and as you keep pressing into His Word over your life, God will appoint for you midwives to help you birth your dream. I declare that you will receive fresh vision and revelation of your future so much that all weariness and discouragement will leave your life.

Keep walking. Keep loving and making room for others. Don’t compete and push for power, but keep preferring others and giving honor to one another. That is God’s way. We need each other and we are walking together so that we can sharpen one another. We have so much to accomplish together for the Kingdom of God. There is so much room for everyone to rise up and become awesome, and every one of us is significant to God’s plan and purpose.

Whatever you do today, keep walking. God is moving supernaturally in your life and this time your expectation shall not be denied.

Nehemiah was a high official in the Persian court of King Artaxerxes I at the capital city of Susa, which lay 150 miles east of the Tigris River in what is now modern Iran. Nehemiah served as the king’s cupbearer (Nehemiah 1:11), which evidently put him in a position to speak to the king and request favors from him. After hearing about the sad state of affairs in Judah, Nehemiah acquired the king’s permission to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the city and its fortifications. He is even given letters from the king to ensure safe passage and to obtain timber from the king’s forest for the gates and walls of Jerusalem.

Matthew 13:10-18 KJV

John 10:9-16 New King James Version (NKJV)

9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a [a]hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.

1 Corinthians 3:1-23

The apostle Paul by trade was a tentmaker. He also knew something about constructing a building. In fact he likened himself to "a wise master builder." He understood that you begin with the foundation. As far as Paul's ministry was concerned, in accordance with God's building code he laid only one foundation. "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ." See 1 Corinthians 3:10, 11.

When you became a Christian, the Lord Jesus Christ became your foundation for life. From the point of your conversion you began to build on this foundation. Bear in mind that this foundation was expensive. It cost Jesus Christ His life. In the light of this we are admonished, "Let each one take heed how he builds on it." How foolish to use inferior building materials upon such a costly foundation!

Paul makes reference to six kinds of building materials: gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, and straw. A wise master builder will only use gold, silver, and precious stones. Wood, hay, and straw will never meet the requirements of God's building code.

The building materials represent our works as believers. Gold, silver, and precious stones are those works that we do for the glory of God. Wood, hay, and straw are carnal works done in the flesh for self. At times even inferior products can be made to look more valuable than they are. The Pharisees were great at publicly displaying their imitations of gold, silver, and precious stones. They tithed, and everyone knew it. They went to great lengths to show off their obedience to the tradition of the elders. They prayed long, loud, beautiful prayers. They received their reward in the praise of men. Christians are not Pharisees, but we need to be careful that we are not seeking personal glory in our service for the Lord.

Those who build houses understand that their work must stand the test of the building inspectors. For the Christian the life which they have built will be tested by the Chief Building Inspector. "Each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire."

Eternal salvation is a gift. However, rewards are earned. As a Christian, be careful how you build on that foundation which is Jesus Christ. No imitations. Live for His glory.

Prayer to God changes things - do you want things in your life to change you have to open the lines of prophetic communication.

Man should always pray and not faint. Satan is busy the body must be busier in the spirit. God can not lie neither must He repent. If He said it, it must come to past. Don’t wavier....
