Good Thursday morning! April 14th 2022

Inspiring. Similar to being inspired, an inspiring person, is “someone with the urge or ability to do or feel something creative.” Most of them usually uplift and encourage others. So how do we become inspiring? By being a positive role model and committed to a cause that we love.

cou·ra·geous

/kəˈrājəs/

adjective

not deterred by danger or pain; brave.

The Lord is saying to us today “Be bold and be strong because I am with you. As the witches and warlocks claim to be bold and strong they know nothing but fleshly wisdom. The flesh is not eternal. I am Eternal, I am wisdom, I am strength, I am all that you need to overcome their foolishness.Trust in me and you will see as each day goes by that, you are the power through my son Christ Jesus and nothing by any means can hurt you. As you sing your praise and worship to me saying ‘there’s none like you’ I am also saying to you that there is none like you as well. I live within you through my Holy Spirit. As above so below. You are the apple of my eye and you always will be.”

2Ch 32:8  With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
