he word that God put on my heart during today’s exercise is “brave”.

THIS IN RESPONSE TO THE BREATH PRAYER OF “WHAT DO I BELIEVE ABOUT JESUS?”

THE SPIRIT PUT ON MY HEART “HE’S BRAVE.”

So my meditation today, and this week, and throughout the year needs to be, “How will the bravery of Jesus affect my choices, my belief, my pursuit of His supernatural help?”

BECAUSE HIS BRAVERY IS MY BRAVERY.

JESUS IS NOT REQUIRING ME TO BE BRAVE.  HE IS CALLING ME TO BELIEVE IN HIS BRAVERY THROUGH ME.

RIVERS OF HIS BRAVERY FLOWING WITHIN ME…

That one word can transform my year. I’m excited to take more time this afternoon to go deeper into what that will mean, to go deeper into the waters of the Spirit’s revelation!

How about you?

What might the LORD put on your heart? 

Experiencing His promises begins with belief!  Radical belief in Him. 

Belief on Jesus’ terms goes beyond believing that He is real.  Belief on His terms means commitment, unshakeable confidence, being FULLY persuaded. 

So when the Spirit put on my heart that I believe that Jesus is brave, that means I am deeply committed within that my Savior is brave!  I have unshakeable confidence that Jesus is brave.  I am fully persuaded that my God is brave!  And that so resonates with me!  I do deeply believe that Jesus is brave!

Now what?  How will that affect my thoughts, my actions?  Because my year and my days are not supposed to be built upon what I believe about me.  My year and my days are to be built upon what I believe about Him. 

Eyes off of ourselves.  Eyes on Him.

So take the challenge today and ask yourself what you believe about Jesus.  Let the Spirit help and direct you.  It can be a very challenging and encouraging question!

What do you REALLY believe about Jesus?  Sit with it.  Breath and pray into it.  Meditate.  Write down what comes. 

Because what you really believe about Him will drive your actions; and be the foundation of what you believe is possible!  He promises “Rivers of living water flowing within!”  Where could His supply take you this year?  BELIEVE!

Here is today’s exercise via browser access. OR CLICK ON PIC ABOVE TO LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS!  Start your year with belief!  What do you believe about Jesus?  John 7:37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
