The Blood Protects You

Light is an armour of defense. The light referenced here is The light of The Holy Messiah Yeshua.

GOD loves us, when we believe and receive His love, that’s only given to us through The Messiah Yeshua, we're receiving covering and protection as well.

To believe with all of our heart, and intentionally focus on being guided by GOD'S will and not the lusts of the flesh, is to draw closer to salvation. Get extremely cozy with it, wrap it around all around you. It’s for your good.

Salvation comes in the gift of life given to us through Yeshua. It’s also being covered by The Blood. 

When we Honor the covenant and power of The Blood, life Has To flow through us. It’s spiritual law i.e.,( a shield of defense). The works of death nor the flesh can stand against it.

Be sure to keep your shield on.

Overcoming Anxiety GOD's Way

credit: Iyanla Vanzant

The cure for anxiety is peace. I know you might be reading this like duh, that's obvious. It definitely is, but it's my sincere prayer that we all really begin to choose peace, and the way that leads to it.

In Psalm 139:23 when we read that David prayed for GOD to lead him in "the way" everlasting after first knowing his anxious thoughts. It seems like it's the same "way" that's advised in Proverbs 3:5-6 when Solomon says GOD will direct our paths and make them straight, when we trust in Him with all of our heart.

Then in Philippians 4:8 Paul comes in and says: think about all the good, praise worthy stuff and the GOD of peace will be with you. 

Ok then, Lord! You mean with me on this way, with me as I travel on this journey called life where so many things happen, but when I trust you, when I set my mind on you and your glory, and when I pray, then your peace will be with me?

That sounds like a winning plan. Focus on the fact that GOD loves us and not who doesn't "like" us or what seems to be working against us. #GodlyRelationshipGoals The win and the peace is in GOD's love and paying serious attention to it. 

Here are some scriptures that mention exactly the power of doing overcoming anxiety GOD's way.

David Prayed:

"Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." - Psalms 139:23-24

Solomon Advised:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6

Paul Teached:

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." - Philippians 4:8

"Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. - Philippians 4:9

I hope and pray you're putting your mind on GOD's love today. If you would like to know more about overcoming anxiety GOD's way please connect with us in the Facebook Group BOLD Prayer and Inspiration on the official Breath Of Life Daily Facebook Page.

Glory Carriers #BOLDPodcast | Season 2: Episode 4

"I decree GOD will supply all your needs according to his riches in Glory" those were the words that were declared by the Dr., I happened to be reading them repeatedly, then it clicked. . . the riches is in Glory.

Why have I always thought the riches were just riches, in the same way that the world thinks of, or represents "riches"? I seriously sense what it means to be supplied with "riches in Glory" now.
After hearing those words echoed so many times it actually just dawned on me. The Glory has it. It's more than abundance. It's over and above abundance. All of our needs are in Glory.

The declaration in Phillipians 4:19-20 is: "And my GOD will meet all your needs according to the riches of His Glory in Christ Jesus" "To our GOD and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen."
So ultimately. . . the glory is in Jesus, because it's in Jesus alone it's unparalled, and per the end of declaration, glory is infinite.

I've been looking at this thing all wrong.  I discussed my misconceived notions of wealth, glory, and the supernaturalness of it all more in depth in the latest podcast: Glory Carriers.

Listen to it Here.

What You're Worthy Of. . . : #BOLDPodcast | Season 2: Episode 3

Inspired by divine guidance and revelation, this episode deals with overcoming depression and realizing what living our best lives actually are, aside from wealth, comfort and leisure...taking a page from The Real Housewives, special guest Eva Marcille shares what keeps her going.

Strength In My Soul

This is the truth on so many levels. GOD is always there for us when we cry out. The strength that comes from the word and the relationship is incredible. An Incredible GOD deserves incredible praise.

GOD Trusts You, Trust GOD Back!

Today is a great day! Today is a blessed day, because if you're reading this, you're alive today! The Lord trusted us enough to give us this day, so we should trust GOD enough to do what needs to be done for us to thrive and prosper, as the Lord intends.

GOD is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we can ask or think according to the power that works in us. In essence, The Lord has plans for us that are above our own thinking. Let's get in sync with these awesome plans, and be blessed today! Be empowered to trust GOD even more!

Let The Redeemed Of The Lord Say So

If you've been redeemed. Say so!

Speak Light In The Darkness Today

Speak light into the darkness, be the light in the darkness. Keep your light shining today!

"What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops." - Matthew 10:27

Prayer Is The First Remedy

I'm all for home remedies, Lord knows I stay looking for them. Prayer can sometimes be taken for granted as an effective tool for healing. However, prayer IS a remedy and always will be. Prayer is the most effective remedy. Pray in advance to whatever you're doing or taking to heal. 

One Thing That I Desire. . . *Marvin Sapp Voice*

I'm kinda ambitious . . . well very ambitious. As a result I'm always whether consciously sometimes even unconsciously trying to formulate a plan to get to that "next level" whatever that looks like in my head and in my own thoughts.

What I'm grateful for is that the more I go into the direction of GOD's leading, the unnecessary within the excess of bright ideas fall off easily. I woke up this morning and my brain was formulating it's own thoughts and opinions, but my spirit wasn't here for it.

In addition to the conviction to focus on what I actually need to be focused on at this moment, like the GOD ordained tasks I already need to be working on, my spirit rose up with a familiar declaration from scripture:

"One thing that I Desire of the LORD, (and) that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD . . . . . " (Psalm 27:4)

Although this isn't the full original verse, it's the Marvin Sapp version from his album "Diary Of A Psalmist". It's the one that came to mind.

Yes, I may have played the song and got up and danced a little bit. . . (lol). I Did, but in this I'm inspired to stay focused on the singular will of GOD and not my own thoughts.

Do you ever have thoughts and ideas that you think are good, but in essence they don't really serve you or your purpose? Hopefully, if you're like me and sometimes your bright ideas get the best of you, you can reference this psalm and consider GOD's will first. Consistent, productive focus is attainable. It's important to entertain what's worthy.

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. - 2 Corinthians 10:5

 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. - Matthew 6:33
