What is Your Word?

Provision

Each of us have needs. Do you know what you need in this season of your life? As provider, God is not a vending machine nor a genie in a bottle. He is our loving Father who provides for all of our needs.

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
- Philippians 4:19 NASB 1995

The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing.
- Psalm 34:10 NASB 1995

Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything — every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do.
- 2 Corinthians 9:8 TPT

YAHWEH is my best friend and my shepherd. 
I always have more than enough.
- Psalms 23:1 TPT

Holy spirit, show us what we actually need, not just what we think we need. May we make room and space for God to show up and provide in our lives. Amen!

What is Your Word?

Grounded

Would you consider yourself to be firmly rooted and grounded in God’s love? What foundation are you standing on?

This week we’re meditating on several versions of Ephesians 3:17

Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life. - Ephesians 3:17 TPT

We also read from Ephesians 3:16-19 TPT

May God show you how to take one practical step today to become more rooted and grounded in His love. Blessing you to experience his love in a greater measure. Amen!

What is Your Word?

Boldness

We are called to be bold and courageous. What would change in your life if you had greater boldness? How would your prayer life change?

And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.
- Acts 4:31 NASB 1995

So let us step boldly to the throne of grace, where we can find mercy and grace to help when we need it most.
- Hebrews 4:16 VOICE

For You are my hope; Lord God, You are my confidence from my youth.
- Psalms 71:5 NASB

Therefore, having such a hope, we use great boldness in our speech,
- 2 Corinthians 3:12 NASB 1995

Where is God calling you to be bold and confident? What is He raising you up for? Blessing you to step out in boldness, receiving all you need from the Lord to do so!

What is Your Word?

Fully Known

There is nothing you can do to make God love you more, and there is nothing you can do to make God love you less. You are fully known by God, just as you are.

Lord, you know everything there is to know about me. You perceive every movement of my heart and soul, and you understand my every thought before it even enters my mind. You are so intimately aware of me, Lord. You read my heart like an open book and you know all the words I’m about to speak before I even start a sentence! You know every step I will take before my journey even begins.
- Psalms 139:1-4 TPT

For this week’s meditation, we read verses 1-18 of Psalms 139 TPT

What are the thoughts God is thinking towards you today? Blessing you to step into a greater awareness of being fully known and fully loved! May you encounter God’s love.

What is Your Word?

Miracles

There are 163 recorded miracles throughout the Bible. Do you believe God is a god of the miraculous and still performs miracles today, and if so what does it look like for you to walk in miracles?

For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power.
- 1 Corinthians 4:20 NLT

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
- Mark 16:20 KJV

“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
- Mark 9:23 NIV

We also read from Luke 18:27 and Mark 16:17-18.

It is ok if these words challenge you. Press in and talk to God, about it. God, we ask you to lead and guide our steps where we do not understand. May we truly believe You are the God of miracles! Your kingdom comes not only in word, but in power!

P.S. In 2022 we recorded a 17-week series on the miracles of Jesus. Go check out episodes 343-359. Enjoy!

What is Your Word?

Listen

Are we as equally good at listening as we are at praying? Communication, even with God, is a two way street. May we be quick to listen and slow to speak in our relationship with our Heavenly Father.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
- James 1:19 NIV

He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

- Luke 11:28 NIV

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

- Jeremiah 33:3 NIV

Sometimes we ask God for a word, having forgotten He has already spoken. Blessing each of us to take time to remember the things God has already spoken over our lives. Amen!

What is Your Word?

Beloved

Welcome to week 4 of our What is Your Word series!

This week’s word is Beloved, which means esteemed, dear, favorite, and worthy of love. When we take hold of who we are as God’s beloved, we become unshakeable; standing on the firm foundation of knowing who we are in God’s eyes.

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
- Ephesians 5:1-2 NASB 1995

For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
- Romans 8:15 NASB 1995

I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,
- Song of Solomon 6:3 NASB 1995

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience;
- Colossians 3:12 NASB 1995

Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
- 1 John 4:11 NASB 1995

How is God showing you how beloved you are? Blessing you to receive the truth to know you are a beloved child of God.

What is Your Word?

Overflow

When God blesses, it isn’t just enough, His blessings spill over in exceeding abundance.

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].
- John 10:10 AMP

You serve me a six-course dinner
 right in front of my enemies.
You revive my drooping head;
 my cup brims with blessing.
- Psalm 23:5 MSG

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- Romans 15:13 HCSB

We also read from 2 Corinthians 9:8 HCSB.

What does life in abundance and overflow look like for you? Where is God pouring His blessings into your life?

Be filled with so much joy, hope, and peace today, that your cup overflows, blessing all those around you!

What is Your Word?

Humility

Jesus is the king of the universe, and yet is the most humble of all. He is the one we look to as our model of perfect humility.

Listen, if you lift yourself up, you’ll be put down, but if you humble yourself, you’ll be honored.
- Luke 14:11 VOICE

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
- Philippians 2:3-4 NASB

We also meditate on James 4:10, Romans 12:3, and 2 Chronicles 7:14.

What is God stirring in your heart in the area of humility?

Praying for Holy Spirit to set you free from any areas of false humility in your life. May you be bold, yet humble, as you walk with God.

What is Your Word?

Grace

Everything you need is found in the grace and favor of Jesus! It is only by His grace we are saved.

For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation].

- Ephesians 2:8-9 AMP

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

- 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NLT

We also read from John 1:16-17 NASB

Where do you need to stop striving and struggling today, and allow God’s grace to set you free? As His grace washes over you today, may it take you from weakness to strength.
