BE THOU REMOVED!

Mark 11:23: For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

This scripture has been stirring in my spirit for the last couple of weeks. During this stressful, confusing, and fearful time of my husband and I trying to find a home to rent or buy before December, I have been holding on and trusting GOD to move for me like never before. The enemy has been telling me that I am not going to find a place to live and that my family and I are just going to be homeless.

Well, I stand in the authority of my Savior, JESUS CHRIST and I speak to the mountain of fear, stress, confusion, closed doors, debt and self doubt and I command it to "be thou removed in the name of JESUS and cast into the sea".

I don't doubt today. I believe GOD. I believe my father. I believe my daddy. HE has not forgotten me. He has not forsaken me. He has not lied to me because my GOD is not a man that he shall lie. HE is the sovereign GOD. HE is the only GOD. HE knows my name. HE is my shelter. He is my refuge. HE is my strength. HE is the I AM. HE is my peace. HE is my comforter. HE is my life. HE is my breath. HE is. HE lives inside of me.

Today, I encourage myself in the LORD and I stand believing that "all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called according to his purpose" Romans 8:28.

My heavenly, awesome Father. My GOD. My daddy. My friend. My all. I come to you, humbly, praising your precious, holy name. I come to you in spirit and in truth, giving Thanks. Daddy, I stand in your power and command stress, debt, confusion, fear, and self doubt to be removed and cast away into the sea. I do not doubt today, but I believe in your WORD, my father. Your WORD says that I shall have whatsoever I saith because I believe those things that I said shall come to pass. I thank you in advance now, My father, my friend for opening the door. I give praise, glory and honor to you MY GOD for being Awesome. Thank you JESUS!!!
In JESUS' name I pray,
Amen.

GREAT IS GOD'S MERCY!

GREAT IS YOUR MERCY
AS SUNG BY DONNIE MCCLURKIN

Great is your mercy towards me
Your lovingkindness towards me
Your tender mercy I see
Day after day

Forever faithful towards me
Always providing for me
Great is your mercy towards me
Great is your grace

Thank you GOD for your mercy!

I had got caught up in the chaos and busyness of my life. My world. Then I had started to take my focus off of GOD. I realized that I had started focusing on what was going on around me. My circumstances. My problems. My issues. It seemed like everything that could go wrong--was. I was having problems on the job, with my bills, in the home and recently, trying to find another place to stay (moving).

I had got so distracted that I was not praying, fasting nor reading my bible as much. It had gotten so bad, that believe it or not, I had stopped talking to my FATHER (GOD).

This reality hit me so hard. How had I drifted away? I had neglected my relationship with HIM. I had lost connection with my best friend. So, here I was drowning in my troubles. I needed HIM now more than ever.

With tears clouding my sight and moaning erupting out of my lips, I drop to my knees and repent. I ask GOD for forgiveness for neglecting my relationship with HIM and not keeping HIM first. I ask HIM for forgiveness for not trusting HIM and not casting my burdens over to HIM. I ask for HIM to create in me a clean heart and right spirit. I ask HIM to renew my mind. I ask HIM for HIS mercy.

I remember HIS mercy is GREAT! Especially towards those that are merciful.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Matthew 5:7

HIS mercy is neverending. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. 1 Chronicles 16:34

HE tells us to be merciful like HIM. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Luke 6:36

Mercy is good for the soul. The merciful man doeth good to his own soul...Proverbs 11:17.

As I got up off my knees, Praise flowed from my lips. Blessings to GOD for HIS mercy that HE shows me everyday. Thank you GOD for your lovingkindness towards me. Great is HIS mercy for ME!!!!

If I keep HIM first in my life and walk in righteousness, ...Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 23:6
