Power of Twelve Wednesday Weekly Word

I have had the honor of doing the Wednesday Weekly Word for our Power of Twelve newsletter for the past 3 weeks.  Here are the words God gave me for these words and scriptures.

Wednesday Weekly Word - August 30, 2023 - Word of the Week

By Founder Debra

Isaiah 61:10 “I am overwhelmed with JOY in the Lord my God! For He has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness. I am like a bridegroom dressed for his wedding or a bride with her jewels.”

When days are long and filled with life it’s hard to breathe in His JOY. We are too busy breathing in life. But then we get that nudge from Him with a reminder He is right beside you. He loves you. He wants you to smile and be thankful. He wants to remind you that His JOY is your strength. Then take a breath for a minute and thank Him for forgiveness, for sending His son, and for calling you into His kingdom for all eternity. What a JOYous reminder of the Father’s love.

This scripture says “I am overwhelmed with JOY in the Lord my God!” When we allow the Spirit of God to remind us of everything the Lord has done for us how can we not be overwhelmed? How can we not be thankful we are here breathing and loving one another? Please take a few minutes and breathe in the JOY of the Lord and He will grab you in His arms of love and tell you how much He adores you. No matter what the outside circumstances are in your life right now, lay them aside and look in the eyes of your Bridegroom Jesus Christ. He loves you and He is the only one who can and will fill you with JOY that will overwhelm you and bring you peace.

Until next Wednesday may you be abundantly blessed and filled with JOY.

Wednesday Weekly Word – September 6, 2023

HOLY

Revelation 4:8 (NIV)

Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.”

HOLY!  Do we really understand what this scripture says?  Are we each able to get a mind and heart vision of this verse? Day and night these angels never stop saying that the Lord God Almighty is HOLY!  Our Lord God is sanctified, purified, consecrated, appointed, sacred, dedicated, clean, perfect, pure, and moral.  These are the definitions used in the concordance to define HOLY.  

Before God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses He said this; 

“Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.”

Leviticus 19:2 (NIV)

As the chosen people of the Lord God Almighty we have instructions to be HOLY. He would not give us this instruction if we could not do it.  Every day we choose to be HOLY to please our God who does expect us to do this at all times.  Yes, we fall short many times in life but as we continue our walk with the Lord we learn to choose the path of holiness.  As we grow closer to Him we find that His image of holiness shines through us out to a world of darkness.  

I believe someday we will stand with the angels and cry HOLY, HOLY, HOLY is our Lord God Almighty and He will smile with love and pride for His chosen people!

May you be blessed as you shine this week!

Wednesday Weekly Word – September 13, 2023

DELIVER

Psalms 91:14-16 – 
“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

This verse is the Lord speaking to His people.  He says to us, His people, that He will rescue us, protect us, and deliver us from the troubles of this world.  He is a Father who loves and cares for His children and will do what He can to cover us from the enemy who seeks to kill, steal and destroy the children of God. 

We know this world has trouble but we also know we have a powerful Lord and Savior who has defeated the enemy and provides salvation to His faithful followers.  Granted we are here on earth for purposes we sometimes cannot see or fully understand but as we daily trust in our Lord we know that He does and will deliver us from worldly troubles, then one day He will happily and joyfully deliver us into the new heaven and earth at the perfect time.

Today we are His hands, His feet, His smile, His love and His laughter.  Between now and the time we are delivered into His arms and His glory, pray without ceasing and be the best child of the Most High God you can be to those around you. 

May your week be blessed as you deliver His words of love to others.
