Daily Bread: New Beginnings
Morning Prayer
Psalm 105:15 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
15 Saying, Touch not My anointed, and do My prophets no harm.
Inspiration
There are so many reasons to be thankful. Everyday we should be thankful and grateful for what God has done for us, because He is so good. When Jesus died on the cross for our sins He said, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” Look at the wonderful love of God. How awesome is He? He was so amazing in compassion and love that He even forgave those who persecuted Him while he was in pain. Amen. Even yet, He still had enough wisdom to understand who to reveal himself to after His resurrection. Daily we should be asking God for wisdom, especially after our hard times so that we don’t return to our old cycles and patterns.
Prayer
Dear Lord Heavenly Father, help me to have strong faith in Christ Jesus. Help me to realize that we walk by faith and not by sight. Everyday I have to trust you and not worry about things that do not concern me. Help me to see that You are the Alpha and the Omega, and you will see me through all kinds of trouble. Amen. In Jesus’ Name.

I'm On God's Time
“What does that have to do with you and me, woman?” Jesus asked. “My hour has not yet come.” “Do whatever he tells you,” his mother told the servants. Now six stone water jars had been set there for Jewish purification. Each contained twenty or thirty gallons. “Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the headwaiter.” And they did.

***
Here’s the thing about life as a Christian … According to Ecclesiastes 3 we are on a different time-clock than those who do not believe. Why ? Because we have to wait.
How long did it take Jesus to be raised – 3 days (1 Corinthians 15:4)
How many days did Esther fast – 3 days ( Esther 4:15)
How many days did Paul fast after his conversion – 3 days (Acts 9:9)
And even still there are many stories in the Bible of those who had to wait YEARS like Joseph and decades like David for their time.
One of the worst things someone can do in life and ministry is move ahead of God. The Bible tells us in Deuteronomy 1:45,
When you returned, you wept before the Lord , but he didn’t listen to your requests or pay attention to you.
Deuteronomy 1:45 CSB
https://bible.com/bible/1713/deu.1.45.CSB
That is the consequence of moving ahead or without God ! He won’t hear you ! So in this season just be STILL ! BE STILL and know that He is God. Stop worrying so much about your life and learn the power of a quiet spirit (Psalms 131).
Prayer
Lord help me to be content and not worry about things that do not concern me. Help me to focus on prayer (Psalms 91) and trusting you through the process. In Jesus Name I pray thank God Amen.

Morning Prayer :
Meanwhile they were asking, “Why do the religion scholars say that Elijah has to come first?” Jesus replied, “Elijah does come first and get everything ready for the coming of the Son of Man. They treated this Elijah like dirt, much like they will treat the Son of Man, who will, according to Scripture, suffer terribly and be kicked around contemptibly.”
Mark 9:11-13 MSG

Inspiration :
Sometimes we face serious persecution and adversity. We find ourselves crying out to God and asking Him why. We must remember that God will never leave us nor forsake us. God is ALWAYS right on time.

Dear Jesus, help us remember that you are right on time. Help us remember that you have worked out everything for our good (Romans 8:28).Remind us daily of your unfailing love. Amen.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FACE PERSECUTION
Trusting God Through Persecution
A few weeks ago I endured a heavy attack of persecution. I don’t know where it came from. What was more shocking is that the people who persecuted me expected me to reverence and honor them as a apostle (Revelation 2:2). In the midst of it God told me , “Don’t Bow.” And I didn’t. Also, I said what God told me which was I’m not bowing.
What Should You Do When Being Persecuted
DONT BOW ! I believe in Jesus and the power of prayer. In my situation I addressed it and confronted those false apostles. Well I am indeed confrontational. Sometimes you have to confront certain persecutions and situations in your life like David did Goliath on the battlefield.
The Philistine started walking toward David, with his shield bearer walking in front of him. He kept coming closer, and when he got a good look at David, he was filled with scorn for him because he was just a nice, good-looking boy. He said to David, “What’s that stick for? Do you think I’m a dog?” And he called down curses from his god on David. “Come on,” he challenged David, “and I will give your body to the birds and animals to eat.” David answered, “You are coming against me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the Israelite armies, which you have defied. This very day the Lord will put you in my power; I will defeat you and cut off your head. And I will give the bodies of the Philistine soldiers to the birds and animals to eat. Then the whole world will know that Israel has a God, and everyone here will see that the Lord does not need swords or spears to save his people. He is victorious in battle, and he will put all of you in our power.” Goliath started walking toward David again, and David ran quickly toward the Philistine battle line to fight him. He reached into his bag and took out a stone, which he slung at Goliath. It hit him on the forehead and broke his skull, and Goliath fell face downward on the ground. And so, without a sword, David defeated and killed Goliath with a sling and a stone! He ran to him, stood over him, took Goliath’s sword out of its sheath, and cut off his head and killed him. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they ran away. The men of Israel and Judah shouted and ran after them, pursuing them all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron. The Philistines fell wounded all along the road that leads to Shaaraim, as far as Gath and Ekron. When the Israelites came back from pursuing the Philistines, they looted their camp. David got Goliath’s head and took it to Jerusalem, but he kept Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.

This morning I hear the Spirit of The Lord saying, “Don’t Bow.”
PRAYER :
Dear Lord Heavenly Father,
Keep me in your loving arms. Give me the strength and boldness of David’s Army. Show me your will so that I may follow you (Psalm 119). Amen
