- Yourself!
- Your past
- Your enemies.
- Your environment.
- Tribulations, trials and challenges.
- The forces of evil.
- Now…pray and ask Holy Spirit to highlight something from this post and to teach you. (Perhaps he already highlighted something as you were reading!). Close your eyes and be silent before him for a minute or two...or more. Breathe in Holy Spirit. (Yes, actually inhale.) Listen. Open your eyes and peruse the post. What does your eye see or your ear hear? Write it in your journal.
- Why does it seem important? You could even ask: Father/Jesus/Holy Spirit, why have you brought this to my attention? Write the answer in your journal. (The answer may be a question…an I wonder. Allow Holy Spirit to direct your thoughts.)
- Make it a prayer. Pray the scripture (and it’s insights, questions, or comments) back to the Father. Write this in your journal.
- How are you going to be different after this experience with God? What does he want you to be or do as a result? If you are not sure, ask him. Write this in your journal.

#18 in the Series: My Daddy Is…
When I
was a small child, about kindergarten age, I remember a situation where my
cousin starting picking on me. To my
surprise, my big brother rose up and started beating on him (my cousin was
older and quite a bit taller). My love
for my brother must have quadrupled that day!
To know that he would fight for me was such an awesome thing!
Lest
you doubt that he controls environment in favor of his people check out these
Old and New Testament stories: Exodus
14, 2 Kings 3, Mark 4:35-41.
Now
rest assured, your Daddy fights for you to give you victory over
That
doesn't mean life is easy! It is a
fight after all, but we can rest in his love and power to bring ultimate good
out of every battle.
“The Lord will fight for you;
you need only to be still.””
Exodus 14:14 NIV
“One of you routs a thousand,
because the Lord your God fights for you, just as he promised.”
Joshua 23:10 NIV
“For the Lord your God is the
one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you
victory.””
Deuteronomy 20:4 NIV
“No, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither
death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future,
nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our
Lord.”
Romans 8:37-39 NIV
“So awesome are you, O Yahweh,
Lord God of Angel Armies! Where could we find anyone as glorious as you? Your
faithfulness shines all around you!”
Psalms 89:8 TPT
I look forward to
this journey with you! Onward to
freedom for your mustang heart!
