Pray first and March 2nd. 😅 A bit flakey I know, but I love the Month of March. So many commands. In fact I want to invite you to consider a few thoughts I am going to share here. “Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6) is more than an invitation this is a heavenly holy urgent appeal. Life moves quickly, and while we assume we will always have tomorrow, none of us truly know how many tomorrows are left. We take moments for granted, we take people for granted, and sometimes we even take God’s grace for granted. But the gentle nudge you feel, the quiet pull on your heart, the subtle conviction in your spirit please don’t continue to ignore. These are signs that God is drawing you. He is not distant or aloof. He is not hiding from you. He is present, near, and waiting for you to respond. When you don’t know how much time you have, you don’t know how much time you can afford to waste. Beloved, choosing Jesus Christ in fullness, is the greatest decision you will ever make, and the only one that carries eternal weight. God will not force Himself on you; He invites you; He calls you, but the choice is ultimately yours. Today, right now, is an opportunity heaven has placed in front of you. Obey the Lord’s prompting. Turn your heart, your attention, your uncertainty fully toward Him. You never know who is following you, and leading anyone down the path of uncertainty is dangerous. Lay aside every distraction and excuse and give God your total yes while the door of mercy is still wide open. He stands ready to forgive, to restore, to embrace, and to lead you into the life He designed for you. One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple (Psalm 27:4). Don’t wait. Choose Him today. Not only is his house available to you, but he would also love to be invited into yours!

Grace and Peace be unto you beloved. There are moments in this walk of faith when the Holy Spirit gently puts His finger on things in our lives, not because they are outright sin, but because they have become weights with a devastating potential. Hebrews 12:1 calls us to “lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us.” Some things slow us down long before they ever pull us into disobedience. A weight can be a habit, a thought pattern, a lack of inconsistency, a relationship, a distraction, or even a good thing that has grown out of balance. The Lord reveals weights not to condemn us, but to sharpen our discernment and maintain our freedom in Him. He knows that anything we continue to carry that He never assigned to our lives will eventually drain strength, blur vision, and open the door for temptation. Laying aside weights is an act of love toward Him and an act of protection toward our own souls. Beloved, this is the hour to hold fast to the steadfastness of your faith. Our enemy doesn’t always attack by storms. Sometimes he attacks by subtle accumulation. A little compromise here, a small distraction there, and suddenly the spirit becomes cluttered entrances of fatigue that we do not even notice when our defenses had become compromised. But the Spirit of God is calling His people back to intentional purity. When you willingly release the weights, you build a fortress against future snares. When you guard your heart, discipline your mind, and align your life with the Word of God, you stand firm against every strategy of the adversary. Stay steadfast. Stay watchful. Stay surrendered. What you lay down today becomes the strength you stand in tomorrow.

Isaiah 55:7–9 stands as both an invitation to repentance and a confrontation of human limitation. It calls for the wicked to forsake his way and the unrighteous to abandon his thoughts, revealing that sin is both a behavioral and mental reality. The passage exposes the truth that man’s default nature cannot reflect God’s will because the human condition, when apart from grace, is governed by the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16). These three forces shape the thoughts, desires, and behaviors of this fallen humanity. Therefore, forsaking our ways requires not simply moral adjustment, but the renunciation of the self-driven life and the embrace of God’s higher, holy ways. The apostolic dimension of this passage establishes that transformation begins with repentance, but is sustained by alignment with God’s thoughts, God’s patterns, and God’s righteousness. Heaven is announcing that the wickedness God addresses is not always scandalous sin not at all. It is any way, thought, pattern, belief system or posture that competes with His will. The prophetic challenge is clear: lay down the architecture of your own understanding, for the Lord cannot elevate what you refuse to relinquish. His mercy is poised, His pardon is abundant, and His willingness to restore surpasses the limits of human logic. But to receive this grace, you must yield fully, deeply, without negotiation. For His ways tower above our ways, and His thoughts stretch beyond the ceiling of our comprehension. The call is to trust the God whose wisdom dwarfs every human assumption, and to surrender to the God who governs eternity. This pathway to true surrender is not mysterious; it is practical, transformational, and Spirit-led. Renouncing your way means bringing every decision honestly, desire, motive, and internal narrative under the scrutiny of Scripture and the discipline of the Holy Ghost. It looks like repentance that goes beyond confession and becomes reformation. We need to surrender hidden anxiety with false faith. It looks like exchanging self-preservation for obedience, ambition for assignment, and impulse for divine instruction. Returning to the Lord is a daily posture where you embrace seeking His presence in prayer, submitting your mind through the Word, and allowing the Holy Spirit to confront and reshape your internal world. Walking in His higher ways means allows God to rewrite your expectations, redirect your steps, redefine what success means, and reorient your affections toward eternity. The pathway is upward, the journey is holy, and the call is urgent: forsake your way, embrace His way, and watch His higher thoughts eradicate your lower ones.

When Scripture asks, “Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?” it is calling us back to a life of nearness, purity, and holy pursuit. One translation calls it ascending the mount of God which is a place of higher vision, deeper intimacy, and spiritual authority. According to Psalm 24, the ones who ascend are those with clean hands which signifies believers who are choosing, day by day, to let their actions honor God. Clean hands don’t mean perfect hands; they mean willing hands, surrendered hands, hands that release what God says let go of and embrace what God calls righteous. Every time you forgive, obey, serve, or turn away from what dishonors Him, you climb a little higher. Your obedience becomes your elevation. But the psalm doesn’t stop at clean hands beloved, it calls for a pure heart. A pure heart is not a flawless heart; it is an honest one. It is a heart that says, “Lord, search me, cleanse me, correct me, and lead me.” Purity is not about never struggling; it is about refusing to let the struggle rule you. God invites you to ascend not because you are perfect, but because you are pursuing Him with sincerity. So, take courage because your journey upward is not denied. As you allow God to purify your motives, heal your inner places, and align your desires with His will, you will rise. You will stand in His holy place. You will breathe the air of the mountain of God, where clarity replaces confusion and strength replaces heaviness. Cut the hinderance and climb the mountain of God because it is the Lord who receives those who seek Him.

I went to Bible Study on Wednesday evening and this verse really stood out to me!! I hope this encourages you! Luke 10:19 is not just a promise beloved it is a divine commissioning. When Jesus declares, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy,” He is not offering casual encouragement; He is granting jurisdiction, authority, and spiritual dominion. This is apostolic language that Jesus is delegating His own victorious authority to His disciples and this has nothing to do with a denomination. Prophetically, this means you are not fighting for victory but from the place of victory. You are not contending as one who is threatened, but as one who has already been enthroned with Christ in heavenly places. The weight of this verse reminds you that spiritual warfare is not fought on earth’s terms but from heaven’s vantage point. You tread because Christ triumphed. You overcome because He has already disarmed principalities. Your assignment is not fragile; it is fortified by divine decree. The use of serpents and scorpions carries deep spiritual significance because they are not random animals but biblical symbols of demonic strategy. The serpent represents deception, seduction, and counterfeit wisdom, echoing the garden of Eden. The scorpion represents sting, torment, and hidden attacks, often linked to spiritual assault and psychic pressure. Jesus intentionally uses these creatures to reveal that the authority He grants is not vague it is targeted. He is empowering you to walk over the very forms of evil that seek to infiltrate your mind, distort your discernment, and attack your peace. Prophetically, this means every subtle lie, every hidden attack, every scheme formed in darkness is already beneath your feet. Apostolically, it means you are commissioned to occupy, govern, and enforce the victory Christ secured. Walk boldly, because the One who sent you has given you authority over anything designed to entangle, deceive, or afflict you.
