Life can get really overwhelming. The last few days have been full of Good Friday, Resurrection Sunday, family events, family dinners, and holiday antics. All of this has possibly drained us. Things that have just been testing and testing and testing. But here and now, we can lay those things down.

We can lay down every heavy burden. We can lay down the weight, and we can trust that the Lord is doing a new thing. Through all of life’s issues, through all of the weight that you may be dealing with, God is right there in the midst. Take a deep breath. Breathe in this moment and know that the sovereign God is right here with you. You are not alone.

The weight of glory is with you. The grace and glory of the Lord is going before you. Everything that has stood between you and peace has to break; everything standing between you and your next season has to move. Nothing can stand before Jehovah. Our God reigns in all of the heavens and all of the earth. He is God alone.

There is no one else. There is no other God. Nothing can stand against them. If God be for us, who can be against us? The grace and glory of the Lord is here now, bringing about peace, bringing about joy, breaking every stronghold, and releasing the kind of peace that just permeates your home, that settles your heart and mind, and that removes the weight of the day.

Regardless of what’s happening right now, the children could be screaming in the next room, or something could be going on with your finances or with your spouse. But this moment is the moment for you and God. This moment is the moment where you take hold of the confession of your faith.

This is the moment where you find peace in Christ Jesus, and the weight and glory of God covers you, covers your children, covers your home, covers your finances, covers everything. Whatever weight has been coming against you, I’m praying that it breaks so that you may experience the kind of peace that only comes in the presence of the living God.

The kind of peace that goes beyond having more than enough money in the bank. The kind of peace that goes beyond having the largest network or knowing the most people. Those things are all good, but nothing can stand against the Lord. Nothing is greater than having the peace of God, which goes beyond all understanding, for he is God in the midst of us.

Tonight, remember that the same God who sent his son for us, that same God is here now. Take refuge in the fact that Jesus, the King of glory, our hope in the earth, walked this thing out and slept in the middle of storms because he knew who our Father is, because he trusted our God. He knew that He was covered.

Relax tonight, knowing that He is God. Be at peace knowing that your rest is essential. Know that you can sleep in the middle of your storms. You can sleep in the middle of what feels like the end. God is still able, and he is providing in the midst. Have a good night, and I’ll see you in the next Night Light Devotional.

Prayer Focus for Today (April 6, 2026)

Praying for a new day in Christ Jesus. God knows the plans. I’m praying for the release and for breathing room to rest in His presence. The weighted glory of God is with us in the darkest moments. The faithfulness of God does not fail. In Jesus name. Amen.

The Message For Today (April 6, 2026):

***Audio Version For Paid members: Mighty to Save Audio 512

What we see in the cornerstone scripture is the Lord speaking blessings over Israel. He is speaking blessings and promising restoration. So this scripture shows us that God is mighty, that he is able, and that he will rejoice over us with singing.

We don’t have to worry or be afraid. We don’t have to, you know, do it in our own strength. We can truly trust God to walk with us and to show us how to walk with him full of rest, full of peace, and knowing that he is singing over us. He cares about you. He is a very present help in a time of trouble (Psalm 46:1 KJV). He is not some distant God who does not care, who is not available. Right here, right now, our God is mighty, and receiving this in your heart is receiving that he’s able to guide us.

He’s able to shift us even in the most darkest moments. He’s able to show us ways out of no way, open doors that don’t make sense. And so we can rely on his providence by faith because of this scripture. You can see that the Lord delights in his people.

To delight is to find joy in. To delight is to love, to be delighted by, to find such joy and peace with him. This is what God feels towards us. And Zephaniah 3:17 shows us this when it states that he will rejoice over us with joy, with singing, and that we can rest in his presence because he is at rest.

Because of him and his great love, we can have the faith that all of these things are being worked on in the name of Jesus. All of these things are growing in your life. All of these things are working together for your good. That is the promise of God.

So the spirit of the living God is with us. His presence is with us. For where two or more are gathered, there he is in the midst also. So I thank God right now that you are not alone. I thank God right now for him being mighty in his restoration and his great love towards us.

In this season, be mindful that he who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it to the coming of Christ. This means that God is not done yet.

• He’s not done with you.

• He’s not done with your family.

• He’s not done with your children.

He’s not done with you because you’re still here. There is a plan that He has for you.

And many times the way for us to get through is to worship our way through, is to lift up our God above the circumstances and above the noise, and to surrender to him all the things, knowing that he is good and knowing that he is God and knowing that he is more than able. He’s mighty.

Receive that today in your spirit that He is mighty. Receive the peace of it that He is mighty. He’s a mighty God, so you don’t have to be mighty. You don’t have to be perfect. You need only to say yes in the trust that God is guiding you every step of the way, to seek His face in the scriptures, to understand, to know, to love, and have a relationship with his word that you may know the good, acceptable, and perfect will of our Father.

As we come to the end of this devotional, reading Zephaniah 3:17 is just the beginning. In the scripture, when you read the last few verses, it says:

¹⁷ The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

¹⁸ I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.

¹⁹ Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.

²⁰ At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord. - Zephaniah 3:17-20 KJV

This scripture tells us no matter how tight the chains are, no matter how deep the hole is, no matter how far gone we feel a thing is in our lives, that we can turn to the creator of the universe who will turn our captivity when we trust and when we surrender. When we are submitting, he will turn the tables for us. He will make ways out of no way. He will break all manner of limitation when he is present, when his spirit is in the midst.

So as we ponder Zephaniah chapter 3, verse 17, in the contextual verses 17 through 20, lift up your eyes and behold. See that the Lord is mighty. Receive in your heart that he is mighty, that he is a good God, a good father, and that he is mighty. He’s able to lift and restore.

Look up, and it may just be time for you to be restored, to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living, and to experience the miracle-working God who was faithful to deliver us from the weight of this world.

Closing Devotional Prayer

My prayer for you.

Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you. Thank you, Lord God, for your mercies are new every morning. I thank you for the mighty woman of God. I thank you, Lord God, that there’s nothing missing and nothing broken. You are our great God. You are El Shaddai.

So Lord, I thank you. I bless your holy name, God, and I thank you for revival over the mighty woman of God. I thank you for restoring her back to the fullness of her joy. I thank you for the favor of God. Nothing missing, nothing broken.

Lord, I thank you that the winds are moving and the ocean is raging. Oh God, the whole world is shaking, but you are still God. So I thank you for your faithfulness, oh God. I thank you for being a keeper and a lover, God. I thank you, and I pray in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

The Message For Today (April 5, 2026):

***You Can Also Listen to The Audio Version:

He Paid It All Audio 511

Line after line, scripture after scripture, our cornerstone scriptures today show us the evidence. They show us the truth. These scriptures demonstrate throughout the Old and the New Testament, the power of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice that he made on the cross.

Reconciled Back To God

He endured the cross in the shame that we may be reconciled back to our father and be the righteousness of God in the earth. This was the love of God that he sent his only begotten son. That if we would believe on him, that we would have everlasting life.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16 KJV

The truth of the matter is that every cost that the world tells us we have to pay for our mistakes, God has already paid it. Jesus bore the weight of our sin so that you and I can be here today living without enduring the weight of sin, living without enduring death, which is the wage of sin.

Our God sent His son to die on the cross that Jesus would be the first of many, the fruit that bore forth truth that he was God alone, and that we could come before our God with no limit.

²⁴ Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. - John 12:24 KJV

That we could come before God and we could pray, that we could seek His face, and that we could know the Lord our God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The entire ministry of reconciliation was laid on that cross this faithful day. As we look to the hills from which cometh our help (Psalm 121:1-2 KJV), as we look up and seek His face, remember that every weight can break and every wall can come down.

He has washed us of our sin. As far as the east is from the west, He separated us and washed us as white as snow. This is the grace and glory of God in the scripture that we are able to walk in liberty, that where His spirit is, we are free (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). This is the promise of God, but it’s more than just a promise. It is what He walked out in the earth.

The Cost of Liberty

It is the price He paid so that we could be free. And so sudden shifts, sudden breakthroughs, sudden open doors and turnarounds, these things are possible and made able by the spirit of the living God. It is by faith that we begin to see things change.

It is by faith that we begin to become someone new, that our hearts and minds are renewed in His scripture and in His word. This is why there are so many scriptures provided today, because every single one of these speaks to, prophesies of, and affirms that the blood that was shed on the cross paid the cost that we don’t have to do it again.

We don’t have to pay that cost again. We are not Jesus. We are to be Christ-like in our thinking, Christ-like in our walking, because he is the author and the finisher of our faith, but we are not Jesus. Jesus, the son of God and the son of man, has already paid the cost that we can be free. And receiving that was the first step and truly the only step in our walk with Christ is receiving that he is.

Receiving in our hearts and in our minds that the cost has already been paid so that everything that we do in Christ Jesus can be full of liberty, can be full of freedom, can be full of peace and joy. We don’t have to walk under condemnation or shame. That is not our portion. The weight of yesterday is done. It is broken.

And we are to come before Him with hearts submitted and ready to walk fully in the things of God, ready to walk in our purpose, ready to share the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living, ready to go forth into all the earth and make disciples of men. That’s what God has called us to do and be in the earth.

He’s not called us to sit in darkness, to sit in regret, to sit in shame and unforgiveness. No, He’s called us to be free, and he has paid the cost for it too. He paid it all so that you and I could walk in the liberty, we could walk in the favor, the grace, and the glory of the living God. He is mighty to save. He is mighty to deliver, and he has victory over every chain of iniquity.

It is the word of the Lord and the blood of the lamb, which guides our steps, which secures us, and which paid the cost. It’s all that we need in order to walk fully with God, to walk fully in the peace of God, to walk fully in the favor of the living God.

Today, as you look at your life and as you sit in remembrance of the cost that was paid, that the Lord willingly gave His life for you and me, remember in the midst of this, that God has given you the ability to walk free too. He’s given you the capacity to break chains in the name of Jesus. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.

Closing Devotional Prayers

My prayer for you:

Father, in the name of Jesus. Thank you. Thank you, God, that your mercies are new every morning. Thank you for the grace and glory of God. Lord, I thank you that there is no limit in you. Lord, I thank you for you are the righteous God, the holy one, the king of kings, and the Lord of lords.

Thank you, oh king of glory, for shifting everything. You are mighty to save, mighty to deliver, and set free. Have your way, oh King of glory. Have your way, oh God. There’s nobody like you. I thank you for the mighty woman of God. I thank you, God, that we are under the weight of glory, that the word of the Lord is real, that your word, oh God, will not return to you void.

I thank you, God, that we are free. I thank you for sudden shifts, sudden breakthroughs, sudden release in the name of Jesus, that we are letting go now, and in our letting go, we’re opening our hearts to receive that you are the great I am. You are the King of kings and the Lord of lords. I thank you, Lord, and I pray in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

Prayer Focus for Today (April 5, 2026)

Praying for the finished work of God over your life. May the resurrection of Jesus Christ be a source of new life for you this morning.

Day after day, life can get monotonous.

It can get really easy to get tied up in day-to-day issues and not be mindful of the moment; to miss out on the majesty, the breath, and the space between heartbeats. God lives there. He lives, and he breathes between the heartbeats. He is God in the midst of us, and He loves us just the same.

So how do we break that pattern? How do we be mindful of every moment? How do we take hold of the moment, giving God glory, and remembering who he is? How do we do that in a day-to-day life that is so full of responsibilities, so full of tasks, so full of children and jobs and volunteering and all of these things?

How do we find that space, create that space where we can worship one-to-one with Jesus? How can we get into that place? How can we break the monotony? How can we intentionally take hold of our nights where we’re blessing God, that we’re not randomly just moving around, but we’re blessing the Lord?

We’re not just moving in a monotonous pattern. We’re moving with intention through that task. We’re moving with intention through our evening. We’re moving with excitement and joy about the time that we’re going to spend in God’s presence.

How can we bring about that excitement, that joy, looking to the King of glory, the righteous one, the Holy God? How can we reignite that fire for His presence and for His Spirit?

Now, the Lord tells us that these things only come by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21 KJV), that some things stay rooted from generation to generation through all of our lives because we don’t fast and pray. But deeper than that is a heart that recognizes that God has given you dominion and authority over everything, including your day, including your schedule, and including your life.

That you can begin to put a stopgap in where you center and you remember who you are in Christ Jesus. No more delays, no more distractions, and no more monotonous living.

From this moment, commit your heart to being mindful that the glory of the living God can rest upon you in those mindful moments where you are being still and knowing that he is God (Psalm 46:10 KJV), where you’re breaking every distraction, every stronghold, where you’re fighting the good fight of faith just to be still in His presence.

Because we know all of the issues and the depths and the things pop up when you are sitting with the Lord.

So I thank God for your stillness tonight. I thank God for your peace tonight. I thank God for your joy and your restoration tonight. I’m praying for the blessing that makes rich and adds no sorrows. I’m praying for the grace of God to cover you and to cover all that concerns you in Jesus name.

See you in the next evening devotional. Good night.

**Sip Saturday is written by our Saturday morning contributor, M.H. Elrich. A beautifully gifted Christian author who seeks to honor the Trinity in her writing. She hopes that her words will encourage women to draw closer to God, whether that is through her fantasy series or her weekly devotionals.

Note: This devotional is different in honor of Holy Week; next week I will resume the Hebrews devotionals.

Cornerstone Scripture:

But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

And they say unto her, “Woman, why weepest thou?”

She saith unto them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.”

And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

Jesus saith unto her, “Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?”

She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, “Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.”

Jesus saith unto her, “Mary.”

She turned herself, and saith unto him, “Rabboni; which is to say, Master.”

-John 20:11-16

The day between Jesus’ death and resurrection is a day most Christians do not think about. I have heard it called “Silent Saturday” because the Bible does not offer any commentary about what happened on that day. I can only speculate.

Imagine Mary weeping, comforted by the other women who followed Jesus.

“Why, Lord?” she asks. “Aren’t you God? Do something!”

For no parent should have to grieve the death of their child.

Imagine Peter with the other disciples in a room. He sits in a corner, his face turned away from the others, who are all whispering.

“Did you hear? Peter betrayed him three times!”

“Judas sold us out, I can’t believe it.”

“Who is worse? Peter or Judas?”

“How can you say that? He’s right here.”

Peter tucks his legs against his chest and hides his face. Their words sink into his soul.

Imagine their cries. Imagine their sorrow.

For them, the Resurrection is not a possibility.

They do not know it is coming.

To them, it is the blackest day and darkest night. A place without hope.

They are grieving the loss of their Teacher and Messiah. That is why Mary is weeping by the tomb when Jesus and the angels find her. Not only is her beloved Master dead, but his body is not even there for her to grieve. She has no idea what will happen next.

Let this be a reminder that it’s okay to grieve. It’s okay to weep and cry and bring your pain to the One who is and was and is to come. We shouldn’t skip over the grief, wanting to go to the Resurrection because it makes us feel better. Instead, we should allow it to wash through us and bring it to God, just like Jeremiah did in Lamentations and David did through his Psalms.

Once all the tears have flowed and the mourning has ceased, we can face the new day. For weeping may last the night, but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5).

That joy has a name: Jesus, Rabboni.

Let’s Pray.

Dear Lord, I bring my grief and sorrow to you. I cry in your arms and feel your embrace. Help me to see light in the darkness. In Your Son’s Name, Amen.

Praying for healing. Every wall is coming down. God promised that He would never leave you or forsake you. He is a very present help in the times of trouble. Praying for shackles to come down, chains to break, and healing to come forth in the name of Jesus. Many are the afflications but God delivers us from them all. I pray that the spirit of infirmity be broken and for you to be restored in every way in the name of Jesus.

The Message For Today (April 3, 2026):

***Audio Version For Paid members: All of A Sudden Audio 509

Suddenly, something that seemed impossible, or something that was never considered, happened. In both of the cornerstone scriptures, we see the phrase "suddenly” used to describe how quickly something came about. How quickly the faith and the obedience of the people produced a heavenly result.

All of a Sudden: Sudden Shifts

In the first cornerstone scripture in Acts 2:2-3, this is the world-renowned cornerstone of our faith. It is the story of Pentecost, the day that a rushing mighty wind filled the place where 120 were praying in the upper room, as instructed by Jesus. So they were praying, and in the midst of their praying, a mighty rushing wind came in all of a sudden, and the evidence of this being from heaven was the appearance of cloven tongues as of fire on each of the 120 in that room.

The prayers that went forth and the result that happened straight from heaven were a demonstration of obedience that produces swift changes and a swift result. The day that they were told to pray, at the time they were told to pray, is considered the beginning of what we know to be the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the demonstration of all of these spiritual gifts, the gift of speaking in tongues and the gift of interpretation of tongues.

The power of that instance in scripture, where many from all over the world gathered for an event, and they were of different dialects, different languages, and they were amazed as the 120 were speaking to them in their own language. Which they knew to be highly improbable, if not impossible, because of the distance some of them traveled from. From all over the earth, knowing that their language was not prolific. This was not the time of the internet; this was not something people of a different region or language or a different country or nation would know your tongue.

But when the Holy Spirit came in, all of a sudden, what would have been difficult to teach in all these different languages became possible, and so possible that those who were from different nations were put on notice that something different was happening. They knew in their hearts this was unusual. This caught their attention, and they listened, and that day, 3,000 souls were added to the kingdom of God and the earth. 3,000 people became followers of Christ that day because of the empowerment of the Holy Spirit all of a sudden.

So we can see that when we walk with God in obedience, doors begin to open. When we have the faith to pray of one accord, two or more gathering together, there He is in the midst also. We also see the power of congregations coming together in prayer, which we see throughout scripture.

We see King Jehoshaphat in the city of Jerusalem and all of Judah praying and fasting that the Lord would deliver them from their enemies, the army of Seir and Ammon. So literally, they see the power of the Lord released in their prayer and fasting. This is 2 Chronicles 20, that we begin to see that open up.

So all of a sudden, the Holy Spirit responds when we gather in prayer. This is recorded through scripture, it is recorded in the Pentecost, and this can be evidence unto you that your praying and fasting before the Lord can produce “all of a sudden results in your life.

What are you praying for? What do you hope to see? What is it that you’ve been waiting on? The Lord is faithful. He is faithful, and He desires to see us prosper in the name of Jesus. But we must operate by faith and obedience to Him so that “all of a sudden” can become our reality.

Sudden shifts, sudden changes, sudden breakthrough, and sudden healing in the name of Jesus, because we believed by faith and obeyed God, that our faith was living and not dead, but full of His Spirit, full of action, and full of glory, because faith without works is dead.

So for us to see all of a sudden in our lives, all of a sudden, suddenly, immediately, breakthrough after breakthrough, is for us to obey God, to follow Him, and to lift Him up in prayer. To pray over our situations and believe by faith that God is a way maker. He is a promise keeper. He is our healer. He is Jehovah Rapha, our provider, and He brings in healing. He brings in sudden changes, but we must press, like they did in the upper room, the 120.

All of A Sudden: Quick Turnarounds

In the second cornerstone scripture, we see that all of a sudden is different there. In this scripture, 2 Chronicles 29:36, is the last verse in chapter 29. It opens up, sharing that Hezekiah reigned for 29 years. He started at 25. It goes through his journey, and the first thing he does as he begins to reign is he goes into the house of the Lord and commands the mighty men of God, the Levites, the believers of Jesus Christ, to go into the house and clear out everything, to clear the house and set the house of the Lord back in order.

To open up the doors, to be in the temple, to light the candles, to burn the incense, which is what they did in these times in the temple of the Lord. When you read through 2 Chronicles 29, swiftly, the entire nation responds. The blessing here is that many recognize, including Hezekiah, that the Lord had prepared the people.

This was not something where they had to think through it, or they had to overthink it. It was as if the people were waiting. It was done so quickly. It was such a quick turnaround in the house of the Lord. The cleansing of the house, the setting it in order, the relighting of the candles, and the Levites cleaning themselves, ordering their hearts to be upright before the Lord.

And then more, because the people brought so many burnt offerings, they needed more that would also sanctify themselves and prepare themselves for the burnt offerings. That is how quickly the nation responded to the call.

So we see here that it was done suddenly in the sight of Hezekiah and all the people, for they knew that this was an unusual speed. The way that it happened was quickly, almost as if God had them ready.

What are you ready for in this season? What has God prepared you for, that you’re ready for the open door, you’re ready for the fresh opportunity?

Fix your heart on this: the Lord is with you and is preparing you to see something new. He’s preparing you for this new season. He’s preparing you for this open door. He’s preparing you for this way, being made out of no way. He’s preparing you.

Our God is faithful to prepare. He’s faithful to restore. And when we’re ready, the people, us, those connected to us, we move in the name of Jesus.

This is the season of divine restoration. This is the season of suddenness. This is the season of being covered and knowing that He is God. There is nobody like Him.

All of a sudden, He is able to do it.

All of a sudden, He can change situations around.

All of a sudden, He can set your house in order.

The same way the house of the Lord was set in order in Hezekiah, in 2 Chronicles, with King Hezekiah.

There’s a pouring that’s happening, and when we receive it, and when we follow God, and we trust Him beyond a shadow of a doubt, we can see “all of a sudden” as well.

Closing Devotional Prayer

And for those sowing, oh God, I thank you for a pressing down, a shaking, and a running over all of a sudden in their finances. Break everything that’s not like you, oh God.

I’m praying collectively that every woman here reading this or listening, God, that there is a change in her finances. There’s a change in the way that she sees things. There’s a shift in the way that she approaches things, God, in the name of Jesus.

I’m praying for the outpouring of your spirit, oh God, that quickly changes things around, that shifts circumstances, shifts rooms. Your spirit, oh God, is capable of moving every wall, breaking down every stronghold, and shifting the mighty woman of God into her next season, into her sudden season, her season of liberty and freedom.

So Lord, I thank you, oh God, that you are faithful. I thank you, God, for you are more than able. I thank you, God, for being the promise keeper, the great I Am, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. I thank you, Lord, and I pray in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

Prayer Focus for Today (April 2, 2026)

Praying for movement. It’s the anointing that breaks the yoke. I am praying that all stagnancy and strongholds begin to break. I pray that the Lord make a way out of no way. May every chain break and every delay be turned around in Jesus’ name. May the words of your mouth and the meditation of your heart be pleasing to the Lord (Psalm 19:14 KJV). He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Thank God for open doors, movement, and a path forward in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

The Message For Today (April 2, 2026):

***Audio Version For Paid members: Fully Persuaded Audio 508

There is nothing in the earth that is greater than our God. There is nothing in the heavens, and there is nothing in the Spirit that is greater than our God. He is mighty to save, and He is mighty to deliver. What God says is what is, for he is not a man that he should lie, nor the Son of man, that he should change his mind? Our God reigns supreme.

So when we look at the issues of life, when we look at our finances, when we look at our relationships, and when we consider even the weight of just today, we can lay all of that before our King. We can lay it down at the feet of His throne, and we can surrender to the glory that is our God:

• to the way that He directs us,

• the way that He loves us,

• the way that He guides us with lovingkindness,

• the way that He orders our steps,

• the way that His Word lights us up,

• the way that praise and prayer begin to shift us and empower us to work fully in the things of God.

All of this is because we are fully persuaded.

We are persuaded that God is with us and we are with God. We know that He is real. We pray in the name of Jesus, we commit our lives to the following of Christ, and we commit our days to loving God, to doing the best we can do in our day to day lives, but knowing as long as we bring our best, that God can go exceedingly, abundantly, above all, that we can ask or think according to the power at work within us (EphesianS 3:20-21 KJV).

So there is so much scriptural truth and historical evidence from your own lives and from the lives of those around you, that God is more than able to. That He is a good God, a loving father, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Yes, the world gets heavy. Yes, the enemy seems like he’s winning when you look at the issues, you look at the war, you look at the chaos that some people bring, you look at their death, and you look at all the bad things that people do.

It may seem like the enemy is winning; it may seem like the enemy owns the earth and everything in it. But we know that not to be true. We know that no matter what is happening in our lives, that the Holy Spirit is at work within us. No matter what is happening in the world. The Holy Spirit is at work within us. There is a grace and a glory that goes forth when we move in faith.

Not halfway faith, and not little faith. But full embodied, full of glory faith. When we move in faith and we start walking with God, it becomes evident that we were never on our own. It becomes evident that God has always been with us. And it becomes evident that we are the sons and the daughters of God. It becomes evident that we are his children. That we begin to see things change in our lives. When we fully are persuaded.

And because we are fully persuaded, we are here. Right here, right now, in this devotional. Committing to this journey every day, day in and day out. No matter how difficult things may be, no matter how busy your schedule, you’re here, you’re listening to this or you’re reading this. That is an indication of where you value your life, your time, and your walk with God. You are persuaded.

Allow today to be a reminder that nothing can separate you from the love of God. Nothing can snatch you out of His hand. We see this in the New Testament. In John 10:28, it reads:

²⁸ And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. - John 10:28 KJV

In this passage of Scripture, we see that Jesus is being surrounded. He’s being surrounded by the Jews. He’s being surrounded by those who do not believe, or those who have seen the good works but refuse to believe. And He begins to speak to them in parables, as he often does. And then He tells them plainly In John 10:29:

²⁹ My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

³⁰ I and my Father are one. - John 10:29-30 KJV

Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.

So we see in this scripture that the Lord is surrounded. We see that there are Pharisaical Jews that deny the power of God, even though they know the scripture. We see that here they deny the power of Jesus despite knowing the Scripture. They do not believe Jesus to be the Messiah. And because he said, I and my Father are one, decided to take up stones against them. And Jesus just continues to press in that he’s the Son of God.

When we walk with God, and we are fully persuaded, we’re not just out there on our own. We are in the hands of a loving Father who, in the dark seasons, in the darkness of night, in the bright of day, and in the best seasons of our life, He is there through them all. He is right there through every process. He’s right there for the roller coaster seasons up and down. He is God. And when you believe that inherently in your heart, then stepping out of low seasons is no longer risky. It’s a matter of your growth.

And we know that God is there holding our hands, guiding us in His Spirit, guiding us through the scriptures, guiding us through His holy word, and through the fellowship of those who love the Lord as well. He has given us so many avenues to invest in ourselves by sitting with Him. He’s given us opportunities to invest hours in our lives in His presence.

This is the opportunity that Jesus gives us by virtue of his very existence. Not to mention the death, the burial, and the resurrection that He endured, that he may sit on the right hand of the Father in glory. We are with God, and He is with us. Being fully persuaded is the key to walking in that liberty, to taking hold of those confessions, and to knowing that He is God.

Be fully persuaded of what you believe. Be fully persuaded of God’s love for you. Be fully persuaded that nothing can stand between you and the Lord. Nothing can stand between you and your God. For in his own hands, in His own words, the Lord has said that he and the Father are one and that no man is able to pluck you out of his hands (John 10:28-29 KJV).

In this season, being fully persuaded is going to absolutely shift the way that you move and how you attack certain situations in your life. How do you walk fully persuaded, doing exactly what God said to do? Building what He says build, finishing the good work of the Lord? Finishing what you start.

Becoming a finisher of projects, ideas, and creativity. Starting and then taking it all the way with the Lord. Not halfway moving, not leaving and coming back, not breaking some things and then picking them back up, but fully persuaded in Him. Fully connected with him, fully entwined in the Word, covered by the Word, and full of His Spirit. That’s what it is to be fully persuaded. I pray this for you today.

Closing Devotional Prayer

My prayer for you:

Father, in the name of Jesus. Thank you for the mighty woman of God. Thank you, God, that she’s here again, she’s up again. I thank you, oh God, that you make no mistakes. You are walking with the mighty woman of God through this new season.

I thank you for the weighted glory of God over her. I thank you, God, that everything is not like you must break. And that in its place, oh, God, there’s a peace that surpasses understanding. That there’s a grounding peace in your spirit. Thank you, God, for a fresh wind over her life.

Thank you for a fresh wind over her finances, God. Thank you that the mighty woman of God is speaking fully persuaded that nothing can separate her from the love of God. I thank you right now, God, that every weight is broken, every sin. Oh, God, let it be confessed unto you that she may experience liberty. For whom the sun sets free is free indeed. Thank you, Jesus. I thank you, Lord. And I pray in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
