October 8 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 Peace is not the reward for having everything under control; it is the gift that keeps life from controlling you. In John 14:27 (KJV), Jesus declares, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you,” reminding us that God's peace is greater than the uncertainty surrounding us. Engaging In The Holy means r

October 7 Every boot of marching troops and every uniform caked with blood will be burned as fuel for the fire. A child has been born for us; a son has been given to us. The responsibility of complete dominion will rest on his shoulders, and his name will be: the Wonderful One, the Extraordinary Strategist, the Mighty God, the Father of Eternity, the Prince of Peace! Great and vast is his dominion. He will bring immeasurable peace and prosperity. He will rule on David’s

October 6 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Veri

October 5 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. John 8:29 You can walk through uncertain places without walking alone. In John 8:29, Jesus knows the One who sent Him remains with Him because His life stays aligned with what pleases God. Engaging In The Holy means practicing God’s presence until alignment matters more than applause, approval, or acceptance. Living High And Lifted Up means moving with th

BIG IDEA (For Everyone) Part I taught us to Speak Over Your Life, Seek God’s/The Word’s Revelation, and Settle In Your Promise.

Holy Ground taught us to recognize where God is present—to discover our launching pad, water our ground, exhale, flourish, and finally “Let Jack Out the Box,” refusing to confine God to what God has done before. Now comes Engaging In T

October 4 Jesus answered them, “Do you finally believe? In fact, you’re about to make a run for it—saving your own skins and abandoning me. But I’m not abandoned. The Father is with me. I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.” Jesus said these things. Then, raising his eyes in prayer, he said: Father, it’s time.

October 3 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. Blessed shall be the fruit of

October 2 Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never l

October 1 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroy
