Authority Over The Moments • Daily Devo #510

Short Evening Devotional

Opening Prayer:

Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you, God, that we have made it through another day. Thank you for this evening. I thank you, God, for this evening devotional once more. I give you glory, O God, that it is growing and that it is blessing your daughters. And I thank you, God, that the mighty women of God are tapping in.

I thank you, Lord God, that tonight as she rests, as she receives these words, I pray, O God, that every word flow into her heart. I pray, O God, that the power of God go forth, O God, to break everything that’s not like you, to scatter the hand of the enemy, and to arise your truth in a situation unlimited, unchoked by the issues of life.

Lord, I pray that what you believe about the mighty woman of God will come forth. I pray that the heart of the Father will come forth to that mighty woman of God. And in doing so, God, that no matter how she feels right now, God, that you can go in and shift things. You can touch her heart, O God, and you can bring about great change, because she is yours, O God. She is your daughter.

I thank you, Lord God, that there are no distractions in you. You know, God, what you’re doing. And I thank you, God, that the mighty woman of God is ready to receive rest in the name of Jesus. She’s ready to receive rest. She’s ready to receive peace. She’s ready to be poured into God tonight.

So I pray for the pouring of the Holy Spirit over her and over all her concerns, O God, as her body gets restored in the natural. I’m praying that her spirit is restored as well in the supernatural. Lord, I thank you, and I pray in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

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.
