CONTENTS
THE MOST IMPORTANT reasons we were given the Biblethe Word of Godare so that we can know the wonderful plans that God has for us, experience His presence in our lives, and be equipped to fulfill His will on earth.
The Bible contains Gods wordsthe specific things He knew we would need to know in order to live a life that pleases Him. He wants us to hear His voice in our spirits no matter what the circumstances are in life or how many other voices are pressing upon us for our attention. His voice rises above the din and confusion of all other soundsif we have learned to listen for His voice and to recognize Him when He is speaking to us.
Gods presence in our lives and His words within our spirit can dispel the greatest sorrow, cut through the clouds of distraction and confusion, and rise above the threats and taunts of demonic spirits that would bind us to their evil, godless philosophies and snatch us from Gods promise of eternity with Him.
But Gods Word cannot do any of these things unless we have diligently studied His written Word and learned to recognize His voice of revelation speaking in our spirits. It cannot guide us on the path of righteousness or keep us out of the captivity of Satan unless we know it. It will not instruct in spiritual warfare in our battles with Satan and his demonic forces unless it has become our warfare victory manual.
This book is filled with Gods words for us today. It is written in His voice, and reading it will be like sitting at His feet as He speaks to us about our daily interactions and needs. It seeks to articulate the thoughts of God for His daughters. It will inform your day, guide your path, strengthen your resolve, and provide your defensive strategies against Satan.
God Himself spoke to us about the importance of knowing and hearing His Words when He said:
My thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares
the LORD.
As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and
bread for the eater,
so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
ISAIAH 55:811, NIV
Use this book to allow God to sit with you in conversation each day, and to fill your spirit with His counsel and guidance. It will enrich your life and prepare you to be victorious in each circumstance and situation that you face. Gods Word whether written or whispered silently in your spiritwill be all you need to live a life that is fully pleasing to Him.
Meeting With Your Commander
MY WORD AND MY POWER ARE ALL YOU NEED
IN MY WORD you will discover the thoughts that I think about you. I have desired that your life be filled with My great peace, not with the evil and turmoil that you will find in the world, which the enemy will try to thrust upon you. My Word will help you to see the glorious future I have planned for you and will surround your life with the hope of overcoming the evil in this world through My strength and power. Allow My Holy Spirit to fill you up with My supernatural power. With My power there is nothing the enemy can do to hurt you, My daughter. My Word and My power will help you to fill the whole earth with My glory.
JEREMIAH 29:11; MATTHEW 10:1; PSALM 72:19
Prayer Declaration
Father, Your Word tells me to call to You, and You will answer me and show me great and mighty things, which I do not know. I am calling to You today!
I LONG TO MEET WITH YOU
MY DAUGHTER, I long to spend time with you every day. If you will only call to Me, I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that I can do for you, things that you do not know. I delight in the prayers you pray to Me. My ears are continually open to hear you call to Me. Your earnest and heartfelt prayers will cause My tremendous power to be available to you. Learn to pray without ceasing, and I will bring you salvation and deliverance from your enemies. The enemy wants to cause you to be powerless and hopeless in this present day. But I am Your Helper, and I will not despise your prayer or turn away from you. If you will only meet with Me every day, I will give you My Spirits power to overcome the enemy.
