Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Monday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the precious name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. This is yet another day that YOU have not seen before. It is a day to rejoice and be glad in it. This day has been ordained just for you! I am experiencing a brand new mercy! How about you?

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am.

Romans 12:1 - Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship.

II Corinthians 7:1 - Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.

I do greet you with the utmost sincerity on today.

This morning's devotional is quick and to the point.

God's favor has a prerequisite. In the now time, we hear a lot about the favor of God. However, we do not hear a lot about what goes before the favor of God and that being purification and sanctification. There are a lot of people who want God's favor, but are not willing to sacrifice. There are a lot of people who want the favor of God, but choose to live their life not according to the Word of God, even though they know better. There are a lot of people who want the favor of God, but are not even willing to follow the most simple instructions.

In a world so full of distractions and temptations, purity is difficult. Even more than difficult, the call to purity
often goes forgotten and ignored.

I do not know about you, but I want supernatural overflow. I want to prepare the way for a blessing. I want my natural to meets God's super.

Purified for God's favor!

I hear the spirit of the lord saying to you today, If you love me then keep my commandments. Your next level will come as a result of your ability to obey me, to purify yourself, to walk in integrity and to trust me. Stop operating in cheap grace and sanctify yourself from those things and people that would come and serve as distractions to keep you from going to the next level. There are some present day distractions that are pulling you from what GOD has intended for your life. Rid yourself, by any means necessary! Hear the Word of the Lord today. Obedience is better than sacrifice!

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

I needed that man...Thanx...

And most importantly THANK YOU LORD:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
 
;) man, that REALLY spoke to me where I am RIGHT NOW at this very moment.

Thank you so much as I have been dealing with some things and am learning to TRUST HIM!!!! He knows that I know Him and that I love Him but I have not been trusting Him.

And while I feel like I cannot have what I need and what I want, I have NOT fully committed and sacrificed and kept his commandments.

But today is NEW day and I am living IN THAT COMMITMENT NOW and honoring Him and HIs commandments.

Thanks, Jonathan. God TRULY SPOKE THRU YOU, my brotha in Christ. :swink:
 
It's amazing you said that...our Pastor has been speaking about the Favor of the Lord(The Favor Zone). Although, as TD Jakes says "Favor ain't fair..." you must obey. God said in His Word...Obedience is better than sacrifice. It's up to us each and every day(1 Thess. 5:17) to seek God for His instructions and obey them consistently, myself included.

Thanks Man of God. Continue to remain obedient and stay blessed.
