“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 NKJV
My sister, please read the scripture above twice and share what you get from this, wisdom or revelation you have, or a personal experience you think of when you read this verse.
God is confirming that I’m right where I need to be, keep PRESSING ❤️
Amen indeed know what you are talking about and I’m going to stay the course Amen
The sacred chase, witnessing by GOD’S word and the word of my testimony for his glory and the good of others!
Continue in love towards GOD and others through Christ and the anointing of the Holy Spirit!
Steward the present season and blessings and continue to persevere by his GRACE until he returns!
“Steward the present” I like this statement! Everyday is a gift and hold much of His presence.
Love “steward the season”. It’s a gift we have to share with others so the whole body grows…
For me, it is saying that I am not at the same place I use to be when I started this Christian walk. U now have a relationship. But I know that I have not arrived at the destination and that I am still pressing towards that goal. I’m farther from my starting point and moving closer to God. What also can me was that we should not focus so much on the destination, that we miss out the opportunity to learn throughout the journey. Do not be “heavenly minded that you are no earthly good.” This simple means that you only or sigular focus should not be just to get into heaven. It should also be to be God’s hands, feet and mouth in this world.
Love ” Do not be heavenly minded that you are no earthly good”
That sums it up for me!
Thank you!
Ditto! Love “Don’t be so heavenly minded that I am not earthly good”. My opportunity is here and to show His love now to those in this world.
When I read these scriptures two things stood out to me. One Christ Jesus has made me His own! That means something, we should be shouting wherever we are! And the second thing..forgetting what lies behind and straining toward to what lies ahead. For me personally the Lord was telling me to let go of opinions of others..embarrassment..anything petty that is trying to hinder my walk with God. The small stuff..once that gets moved i can see the big stuff the Lord has for me..
Good morning and thank you for sharing this! This scripture reminds me that I have not arrived in total righteous, and I never will. It reminds me that in this race we will go from faith to faith and glory to glory, but NEVER attain complete righteous. There will always be something for the Lord to fix in me. After being delivered from one thing, He will reveal another thing that I need to confess to Him and repent of. In spite of all, I’m reminded to keep pressing toward the goal, knowing there will always be more to do.
Amen, GLORY TO OUR FATHER GOD 🙏🏾🤍
I L🩸VE YOUR COMMENT
Everything is a process. You make progress when you are focused on the right thing/the goal/Jesus. You won’t be perfect but still strive for excellence. It’s a process. Once you understand that it and move forward and onward, progression takes place. Also, in process, give grace to yourself and others.
My experience, it can feel like it takes a long journey to “get there”. To get somewhere God always intended me to be. His timing is perfect and the journey important. However, focusing on His truth (Word), believing my worthiness (one of my biggest challenges), better understanding the obstacles of the enemy and the power God offers through Jesus to fight the evil ones futile ploys, I now stand strong in Him. His daughter, His princess, in the place He always intended. The best I have is trying to keep my light bright, to shine His grace, love, and glorious message of relationship opportunities to all who need it (which is everyone), with my humanness at bay and His power stronger. A day at a time, in His mercy and forgiveness, renewed to give me strength. Until He comes I have much to do to share, through my humanness, His love!
God is confirming he got me.
God is confirming he got my back.
The part of the scripture that grabbed me was ” GOD Will Clear Your Blurred Vision”
God wants me to pursue consistency in my life, produce quality work in what I do, and stay goal oriented (and I’m pursuit of them). I have to have a high level and degree of focus.
‘He will clear your blurred vision’
Ahhh, Selah
Let me continue on HIS then, because he will make all things known unto me that I need to trust in HIM.
What a wondrous God we serve. Blessing to the Most High God, Hallelujah the Lamb!
I Am Moving Forward 🎶🎶
As I read Phil 3:12-16 this morning I remembered about the videos I have seen of murmurations. The beautiful flocks of sterlings that all work as one swirling and flowing through the air. If there’s just one bird flying then there’s not a whole lot to it but many together, going in the same direction is a powerful sight.
He has already sought me out and made me His own, now it’s my turn with everything in my life to seek after Him,
This says to me that God isn’t concerned with my past only I am. I allow others to dictate my worth when they remind me of the woman I used to be . God is saying I’m making you new transforming you to be more like Christ ❤️. Am I perfect no! Am I forgiven yes! Do I run this race for him have I surrendered my life to him absolutely! Am I a living sacrifice I do my best! These scriptures tell me God knows that ❤️🙏. I can continue to walk in his grace and love daily 🙏♥️. What a gift ! What a blessing! What a father ! ♥️🙏❤️
Right on, sister!
My dear Sister Kesha these scripture verses is telling me to continue in my walk with Jesus. Choose to have a made up mind, reaching forward seeking more of Him in faithful obedience. Going higher in Him, leaving those things in my past to Him because, He have erased the evidence with His blood and it’s in Him that He have made me JUSTIFIED to do His Will in the earth that He may be glorified through the work that I do unto Him as I’m a serve throughout my community. It’s in Him do I live, move, and have my being. I haven’t attained everything He has for me, but I’m holding on to those things that He have given me to retain it and walk upright in the calling He has purposed me. To keep going, Looking to Jesus Who is The Author and Finisher of my faith. Trusting the process of His ordained plan for my life because He is the One who created me. The Creator knows how to get the best from what He created. His truth can not be revealed to the natural man, it’s SPIRITUAL!!! This is why I believe we have to continue to confess going to The Lord asking for forgiveness with repentance, actually turning from whatever is not pleasing to The Lord asking for His strength and power to overcome because He have overcome the world. This Is Why We Need A Relationship With Our Saviour, Jesus. It’s by His power working within us as we give it to Him. It’s through Jesus this happens in *Jude 1:24-25.
This is what I believe about these verses. Thank you for asking. It’s all because He first loved us. (Jeremiah 29:11)❤️❤️❤️🛐🛐🛐
💕💐💜💕💐💜💕💐💜💕💐💜
The words that was said I identified with wanting everything He has for me and getting closer to Him and n0way gonna turn back He brought me to far He loves me with all my faults. He knows my heart
No turning back. It doesn’t matter what the devil tells you. You are to keep moving forward. No turning back for God is in complete control.
I truly want everything God has for me, and I will keep pressing towards the goal. I will not turn back. I will keep my face my eyes, my heart, my ears towards the Lord, so I can fulfill his purpose in my life.
Continue to move forward and seek God! This is not to time to look another way or in a different direction. Trust and know this is the best way no matter what’s going on ♥️
🙏🏽 I thank God what I’m not used to be but I’m on my way to obtain my goal. God is Not done with me yet, 😃
For me this means put you trust in God. Know that He has a good plan for you. It’s okay to not have it all figured out. Just be obedient and open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for this confirmation. I speak life over every woman reading this.
I thank the Lord that he is still working on me. Thanks to him that I am in a better place today spiritually. I welcome change thank you Jesus. It is only then that I can make a difference for his kingdom, and for those I am around. I will continue to strive for all that he wants me to be in him, and to be used for his glory. Yesterday is gone, and I move forward to what the lord has for me. (Jeremiah 29:11)
Paul’s call to brothers and sisters in Christ to remember the yes we gave when we answered God’s call to pick our cross and follow Jesus… We weren’t perfert when we said yes to God so perfection is not our focus, our focus is the one (God) who called us to live for Him and follow Him. It’s not an easy walk or road to travel and we don’t get it right every time in our pursuit of Jesus Christ but keep your eye on the ultimate prize (Jesus) because He saw fit to save you and call you by name for His purpose. If you’re serious about your growing in Christ then you’ll be on one accord in understanding the call we have on our lives and if not the Lord will give you the clarity you need to get on board. Now let’s keep walking while we have the momentum!
I will continue on this journey and I want look back. Lord continue to keep me with my mind on you.
I am 55 days sober today and working on my 5th step in AA. I am also committing to being single for a year for the first time in my life after coming out of two extremely abusive relationships. This scripture is God telling me that He sees the commitments I’m making with Him and is Him encouraging me that He’s with me every step of the way. 💜🙏
Thanks for sharing Sarah! I’ve got 7 1/2 years! I waited 5 years into my recovery to start dating. I originally started with a 1 yr goal and worked on my relationship with the Lord. Loved it so much that I kept going and time flew by. The first guy I dated I am now married to. Healthiest relationship I’ve ever had. All those that wait on the Lord will surely not be disappointed. I pray the same abundant restoration for you as well!
Thank you so much for sharing this with me Jess! That’s very encouraging to know as I start out on this vulnerable journey. Your testimony encourages me. As uncomfortable as this is, I am enjoying spending more time with the Lord and growing closer to Him.
Stay with it! The tools are very good, the environment supportive… however, the FREEDOM through sobriety is worth the journey! (I had 4 years in the program and at 8 years enjoy sobriety in Him ❣)
You’re really a blessing to me sister. Whenever I need answers or direction from the Lord, your words came to me and I just feel like God is talking to me through this app. I was asking God for a sign in continuing my relationship with my partner, I feel like I don’t like him anymore but I still stayed because he’s a good and godly man. I asked God if He really direct me to that man, and if He is the one God prepared for me to marry then give me a sign that I need to stay. Though it may not be connected to the topic, but this words of yours “If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you’ll see it yet! Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it” really hit hard. I am now assured that God really answers my prayers and He has a better plan for our relationship.
Thank you God for my daily bread! Thank you Lord for waiting PATIENTLY on me to choose you! I am blessed to have the gift of salvation through Christ Jesus. Glory be to God! Breakthrough after breakthrough is my portion in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
Constant reliance on and gratitude in the Holy Spirit in all seasons.
I’m a work in progress, but I have a made up mind. I get up each morning with the mindset to follow the example of Jesus to the best of my ability. The Bible says that a righteous man falls seven times, and riseth up again. Proverbs 24:16. Life IS gonna knock us down. The key is GETTING BACK UP! We can do that by keeping our eyes on Jesus and setting our affections on the things above. We are KINGDOM WOMEN!! WE ARE THE DAUGHTERS OF THE KING!!
The Lord delivered me out of a 30 year IV drug addiction and lifestyle. HE is putting my broken pieces back together again. HE is healing the parts that need healing and binding the wounds that need mending. HE is restoring my relationships with my children and loved ones. HE has given me a man of God for my husband. HE allows us to be part of a ministry together. God is so good!!! I’m so thankful and grateful for where HE brought me from. Thank you Jesus!

The scripture to me highlights that through my salvation in Christ, I have to remember that He who has begun a good work in me will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ’s coming. I must seek the Lord daily in running this race called life with His vision and not my own. It reminds me that my sight, goals strength and understanding could be blurred if I try to walk without Christ Jesus. Thank you for this devotional lesson. It put my mind on track. Blessings, Shalom and Agape 👀🙏🏽❤️📖🙏🙌🏽
I understand that I should keep my mind, heart and vision focused on Christ .
He’s the one that called and sent us on His mission. He has the blueprint and all it takes for us to succeed. Jesus Christ is our all in all
I can too far to turn back I am running on

This scripture reminds me that I am constantly growing in faith and in my relationship with God. I will never reach the goal this side of heaven but I will continue to strive to be like Christ and bear his image as much as possible. I will continue to do all I can when I can as much as I can.

God has really turned my life around in the past few months in so many ways. My life was turned completely upside down out of nowhere…No one would believe what I was going through at the time but through it all, I trusted Him to make a way out of no way and I trusted that He had a plan. He has never failed me!
To me, this passage is saying, “You are on the right track, don’t look back now because we are just getting started!” I know everything that happened had to happen to get me to where I’m going.
God is telling me to hold on…
I’ve been struggling so much on this Christian journey… I’ve made so many mistakes… I’ve found myself dwelling on my past mistakes, and wanting to just give up on the journey…
But God is saying to me, “Hold on.”
It’s a scary thought. I’m scared I’ll still make some of the same mistakes, but I’m willing to try again…
Please pray for me sisters.
Praise God. He is a rewarder to those who diligently seek after him. He has his rewards with him and will give to each person according to their work. We are saved by grace thru faith. Faith without works is dead. Is grace is sufficient for us. Allow him to work in us and thru us to prepare himself a people that he will come back for. Without spot, wrinkle or blemish. Press towards the mark 💪🏽
What stood out to me was the line “less than total commitment”. I think this may be one of the hindrances in me, and that may be because it seems unbelievable to me that i will reach ALL God’s wills & purposes in my life, it sounds too huge & high for me.
I need to just believe that I can, and ALL by His grace, not my abilities or type of personality or strength
Being in Christ the Word of God changes out direction
Our God goes to the heart of us and understands and loves us More deeply than we can ever know! He sees our True self!💖💖💖💖💖🤗🤗🤗🤗
This is my testimony: The text states, “The word of God is living and powerful.” It’s meaning to me is two-fold. It’s powerful – it has the power to overcome insurmountable barriers. It’s supernatural. No thing can withstand its strength.
It’s living – it’s live and personal. It moves. In its action it’s pure, true and real.
The verse continues, it cuts like a sword deep within, to expose the inner soul and marrow. It’s like deep, serious surgery that only the Master can perform!
I find that my personal relationship with my Heavenly Father goes beyond His written word. God’s word tells me how I ought to live daily, to be like Him. But it’s our frank conversations that cause me to be intentional, honest and true about following His will for my life. Being simply honest with myself through Him, causes me to make difficult decisions to deny self and follow Him. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His names’ sake.
