Freedom is a Choice




My Beloved Princess,

I long to give you the keys to be free from the things that bind you and see you break through to a blessed life in Me. But your freedom is a choice...your choice.  You can be totally free in Me or try to set yourself free.

I am the only One who can give you the life-giving keys you need and want. The keys are hidden in My Word (the Bible) empowered by your prayer, and completed by the work of My Holy Spirit living in you. Choose To walk the rest of your days in truth and you have chosen life!

Love,
Your King and your freedom

"So if the Son sets you free, you will
be free indeed."

Run Your Race

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.”
(1 Corinthians 9:24, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD
So many people today spend valuable time and energy trying to make everyone around them happy. They want to be approved, accepted and affirmed. There’s nothing wrong with that, but you can’t let the opinions of others become your focus or distract you from what God has called you to.
In the natural, when a professional runner races, you don’t see them looking around at the other runners, wondering how they are doing. No, they have their mind focused on one thing: the finish line. They don’t waste valuable energy comparing themselves or wondering what’s going on around them. Instead, they focus on winning the prize. This is how we should be in life — focused on winning the prize of the victor’s crown in life.
My challenge to you today is: run your race. Don’t let people squeeze you into their mold. Remember, you don’t have to try to play up to people. You don’t have to worry about what everyone else thinks. As long as you’re being true to what God has put in your heart, don’t look to the left or to the right. Stay focused on your goals. Run your race to win and honor God in everything that you do!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, today and every day I set my focus on you. I declare that I will not look to the left or to the right, but I will fix my eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith. Give me wisdom and grace as I dedicate every area of my life to You in Jesus’ name! Amen.
