May God be gracious to us & bless us & make His face shine on us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. (Psalm 67:1-2). Father, thank you for making this very clear to us: Not everyone likes us. As Christians, we just have to forgive them & co-exist with them. Sometimes people do not have a reason to dislike you. It's the anointing of God upon your life which attracts attacks. Consider what happened when David was anointed & killed Goliath, instead of being celebrated, king Saul spent the rest of his life chasing Him, trying to kill him. Why? People had remarked that David had killed ten thousands & Saul thousands. Saul didn't like the mathematical calculations here which showed that David was more powerful than him. David did nothing wrong for all that happened. The anointing attracts attacks. Also the anointing attracts wealth. We are anointed to win souls for God. The Bible says: He who wins souls is wise. If you are not a soul winner, before God you are not wise. Prayer: Father, be gracious to us & bless us. Let your light shine upon us. Let your glory rise upon us. Draw kings to the brightness of the light of God upon us. Confirm Isaiah 60 in the lives of your obedient children. Open doors for us. Grant us the right relationships. Thank you for answering my prayer. Put your angels to action. When those under our complement are inadequate, send more reinforcements direct to us. In Jesus mighty name we pray, Amen. Good morning Holy Spirit. Immanuel: God with us.

No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying: Know the Lord, because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:10-11). If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult. We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...
