Genesis 1New International Version

The Beginning

1 In the beginning(A) God created(B) the heavens(C)and the earth.(D) Now the earth was formless(E) and empty,(F) darkness was over the surface of the deep,(G) and the Spirit of God(H) was hovering(I) over the waters.

And God said,(J) “Let there be light,” and there was light.(K) God saw that the light was good,(L) and he separated the light from the darkness.(M) God called(N) the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.”(O) And there was evening, and there was morning(P)—the first day.

6 And God said,(Q) “Let there be a vault(R) between the waters(S) to separate water from water.”7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it.(T) And it was so.(U) 8 God called(V) the vault “sky.”(W) And there was evening, and there was morning(X)—the second day.

Daily Devotion : Hosea 3 MSG

Hosea 3The Message

In Time They’ll Come Back

Then God ordered me, “Start all over: Love your wife again,
    your wife who’s in bed with her latest boyfriend, your cheating wife.
Love her the way I, God, love the Israelite people,
    even as they flirt and party with every god that takes their fancy.”

2-3 I did it. I paid good money to get her back.
    It cost me the price of a slave.
Then I told her, “From now on you’re living with me.
    No more whoring, no more sleeping around.
    You’re living with me and I’m living with you.”

* * *

4-5 The people of Israel are going to live a long time
    stripped of security and protection,
without religion and comfort,
    godless and prayerless.
But in time they’ll come back, these Israelites,
    come back looking for their God and their David-King.
They’ll come back chastened to reverence
    before God and his good gifts, ready for the End of the story of his love.

God Defends The Orphan

God Defends The Orphan  

Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow. – Isaiah 1:17 NASB 1995  

Breaking Free From Toxic Family Members  

Truth be told a lot of people are involved with toxic family members. There are so many people who are bound by “family secrets” and “what happens in my house stays in my house”. Ultimately it produces a toxic environment for children, and it incubates generational curses.  

Sad to say modern day churches are very ignorant to the trauma of these type of family environments. Understand that the enemy can use anything if someone gives the devil a foot hold (Ephesians 4:27). Yes, God does preach forgiveness, but he did not tell us believers to keep allowing abusive family members into our life. 

Despite what people believe God does HATE things and he does HATE certain types of people. Don’t believe me? Look at the verse below.  

Proverbs 6:16-19 

King James Version 

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. 

Your Breakthrough Is Breaking OUT  

You have to know when to let go of abusive and toxic family members. God tells us in His wonderful word that after you warn them, and they don’t change have nothing to do with them. Look and READ the verse below for yourself.  

Titus 3:10-11 

New International Version 

10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned. 

I Am Telling You Something That I Have Had To Do Myself  

One I am not a hypocrite. Two I had to do this myself. My relatives by blood are some of the most ignorant and abusive people you would ever meet. There was a point in my life that I listened to someone tell me that I need to reconcile with them, and it was the worst mistake I could have ever made. The blessings that God had for me was bound up because I had the wrong people around me at that time. In that dark time in my life, I learned to always obey God. The Word of God tells us that the enemy disguises himself as an angel of light. Also, warning does come before destruction. When God sets you free from abusive family member you must let them go or they will destroy the destiny seeds that God has placed inside of you.  

Prayer  

Father, help your people to see the truth in their toxic family. Give people courage to come out of abuse. In Jesus Name, Amen.
