Thursday Devotional......8/25/16

Good Morning...

There will not be devotionals posted for Friday the 26th or for Saturday the 2 7th. I will be travelling home and unable to post, The next devotional will be posted by Jan Anderson on Sunday the 28th. After that we will be back to normal.

Today is my last full day at Storm's house. We are planning to go to one of my favorite happy places here in Maine. We did not get a chance to go, but we will today. It is Birch Point and the vistas are amazing. WE like to go up on those rocks and enjoy the views of the ocean and the beach and the islands in the distance. I can close my eyes and see it and for a while be there.  God's creation has so many wonderful vistas to enjoy all over the world. Maine abounds with such places.

Have a thrilling Thursday; I will see you on Monday!
God bless, 
Corinne....

The Thursday Devotional is titled, "Endorsed Son of God." It was co written by Brother Thomas Ukwute and Jody Ward. When Jesus was baptized the triune God head was present, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and God proclaimed Jesus was Son who pleased Him. Jody wrote, "We proclaim success into our lives and into our work in the coming days. Crown our efforts with accomplishment for the eternal, in the name of Jesus Amen." At the time of the Transfixion on the mountain, God also endorsed Jesus as His Son.


Endorsed Son of God

Immediately after John baptized Him, He cane up out of the water ad the heavens opened up to Jesus. And John saw the Spirit of God descending out of heaven like a dove landing and settling on Him.

And when that happened, John heard a voice from heaven saying, “This is my dearly loved Son, chosen and marked by My love. I am very pleased with Him, He is the delight of My heart, and He brings Me great joy.

Matthew 3.16-17

When Jesus was baptized three things took place.

1.    The heavens opened up to Him.

Lord, we pray that the You will cause the heavens above us to be opened, releasing on us the anointing that will bring freedom and victory to those we know and those we will meet. We pray that He fills our lives with grace and causes the favor of God to follow our lives life and our daily ministry, in Jesus name.

2.    John saw the Spirit of God descending upon Him.

Lord, we ask that your children will see the work of the Holy Spirit within them and to give them the results now that they have desired for a long time.  May the next few days be exceptional at every level, in Jesus name.

3.    The voice endorsed Jesus saying “This is my Son.”

Oh Lord may we go in Your endorsement to bring down the walls of the enemy. May we go in the strength of the Spirit to dismantle every obstacle and every barrier on our way, in Jesus name.

We proclaim success into our lives and into our work in the coming days. Crown our efforts with accomplishment for the eternal, in the name of Jesus Amen

This Endorsement also was repeated by God during the Transfiguration on the mountain.....Luke 9:35
