Daily Inspiration-Are You Battle Ready?
Are you angry about something from the past? Are you angry about the way negativity in the world is escalating every day? Do you read and or watch negative things? Are you edgy and at unrest in your spirit?
Such a large percentage of what may be disquieting, you actually have no control over. Learning to step away and release such things is imperative in this season. One such area is the news. Do you follow the news closely? Most of it is negative. So guess what? What is going into your mind and spirit and heart (for it is

At His last Passover supper on the night before His crucifixion, Jesus established communion for all who follow Him. Communion calls to mind the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. My Pastor told me decades ago that communion is most powerful and healing.
Yet, within the body of Christ today many denominations and non-denominations limit the opportunity to receive communion to annually, quarterly, monthly, etc. Although Jesus never stipulated an exact time frame to receive, He did say, “…as often as …” in 1 Corinthians 11:25b.
I attended a funeral not too long ago in a church where the

Differences can divide. If your heart has been fractured through life experiences, you may see only division in difference. In the end, it is always a heart issue.
Perhaps look at differences as opportunities to learn to respect another even if not just like you. After all, wouldn’t life be really boring if we were all the same? Open your heart. Change your attitude to one of unity despite difference.
Let the Lord heal your wounds. He is faithful to rescue and protect those who acknowledge Him. Allow God’s grace to wash over you and heal every broken place.

Who or what do you focus on the most? What consumes your attention? Is it money, material things, addiction, sex, your professional title, etc.? It is easy to unknowingly turn someone or something in your life into an idol. Even your church, your Pastor, a televangelist can become an idol. Wanting something or someone so much that it becomes your primary focus can also be an idol.
When you idolize you take your eyes off God.
I have seen many miss blessings because they are so singularly focused

Many people may call you friend in this life but a true and faithful friend is a rare gift indeed. Throughout my life people have said to me, “You have a lot of friends.” Actually, I know a lot of people but in reality I count very few as friends.
A friend is there through the ups and downs. A friend may see your shortcomings but comes along side of you anyway. A friend prays you up and covers you at all times. A friend does not share your personal information or anything you have shared with them. My motto

Are you the same as you were last year? Life should change you. Learning from life experiences should grow you in a positive way. If you remain the same year after year or let life experiences damage who you are, you miss out on the kaleidoscope of possibility that life has to offer.
Jesus died to set you free. If you are bound by your past, your present, your heart (remember, it is always a heart issue), look to Him as the Author and Finisher of your faith.
So many people have walled off parts of their heart as they

If you just hate the lie and never learn the truth, you remain bound by the lie. It is in truth that you will find freedom.
For it is written:
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

There is such a buzz now about ‘fake news.’ Fake news is nothing new although it has reached epic proportion in our time.
When I worked in Washington, D.C. I would sit in interviews and when I would read the account later in the newspaper there would be just a thread of truth. It was never really close to the whole truth as originally presented.
So…listen lightly and know that only God knows the whole truth in any situation. As humans we do not even know the whole truth about ourselves and what lies in our hearts (remember, it is
