Any other lovers in your life?

Deuteronomy 6:4–9

[4] “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. [5] You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. [6] And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. [7] You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. [8] You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. [9] You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

When your heart is split(in its affections) between lovers/passions/pursuits you will be unable to fully commit to either and will be incapable of fully surrendering to the Lord — see how the rich young man who come running to Jesus but left sorrowful for he loved his riches (Mark 10:17-22).

Freedom is found in giving up everything for and unto the Lord. Your life will become a fragrant offering to the Father - let Him be your daily delight!

Proverbs 3:5–6

[5] Trust in the LORD with all your heart,

and do not lean on your own understanding.

[6] In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make straight your paths.

Heavenly Father help us to surrender those areas were we hold back from coming fully before you and help us to lay aside every besetting sin so that we may run The Race with perseverance. In Yeshua’s Holy name we pray. Amen!

Beat your earthly body into submission — make it your instrument to serve the Lord during your Pilgrimage to Heaven.

Romans 6:11–14

[11] So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. [12] Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. [13] Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. [14] For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Colossians 2:13–14

[13] And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, [14] by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

Galatians 2:20

[20] I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Purify my heart Lord and let it ever seek to delight in you! - Read Psalm 37

Have you loved on the Lord today? Are you learning the lesson taught to us by the disciple John, who would lean on His Master's chest and rest? No doubt he wanted to be as near to his Saviour's heart and learn how to be like Him. Are you leaning in closely to Jesus of Nazareth that when his heart beats yours becomes in sync with His? Don’t straddle the fence anymore... give it all to Jesus this day and ask Him to renew a right spirit within you and to restore the joy of your salvation(Psalm 51).

Let’s make sure not be like those religious leaders in the Lord’s earthly ministry who were so sharply rebuked by Him:

Matthew 15:7–9

[7] You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said:

[8] This people honors me with their lips,

but their heart is far from me;

[9] in vain do they worship me,

teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.

Instead let us be wise stewards and build our “spiritual house” on the Rock:

Luke 6:46–49

[46] “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? [47] Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: [48] he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built. [49] But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

Abba Father - May your Holy Church come alive at this hour to meet her destiny as the overcoming Bride of Messiah that has made herself ready(Rev 19:6-10). May her righteous deeds by found pleasing before your eyes. To you alone belongs all blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might forever and ever! Amen.”

Righteous Father we pray you saturate our heart, soul and spirit with your love(agape) by Your Holy Spirit in order that we may be moved with deep compassion to the world around us. Let us never hold back from fulfilling your great call - the Great Commission! Quicken our mortal bodies to supernaturally serve you faithfully all our days. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen and Amen!

But for you who fear my Name, The Sun of Righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.
