Episode 09: Ephesians 2
Tuesday Oct 19, 2021
Tuesday Oct 19, 2021
Today's meditation is based on Ephesians 2 from the Passion Translation
God loves me with such great love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy.
Even when I was dead and doomed. In my many sins, he united me into the very life of Christ and saved me by his wonderful grace.
He raised me up with Christ the exalted one, and I ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for I am now co-seated as one with Christ.
I am the visible display of the infinite limitless riches of His grace and kindness, which was showered upon me in Jesus Christ.
It was only through this wonderful grace that I believed in Him. Nothing I did could ever earn this salvation, for it was a gracious gift from God that brought me to Christ.
I have become his poetry. A re-created person who will fulfill the destiny he has given me, for I am joined to Jesus the Anointed One. Even before I was born, God planned in advance my destiny and the good works I will do to fulfill it.
Everything is new. Although I was once distant and far away from God, now I have been brought delightfully close to him through the sacred blood of Jesus. I've actually been united to Christ. My reconciling peace is Jesus.
Because I am united to Christ, I have direct access in the realm of Holy Spirit to come before the Father. I am not a foreigner or guest, but rather a child of God with all the rights, as a family member of the household of God.
My life is being built upon the ideal foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, and I'm connected to the head cornerstone, the Anointed One, Jesus Christ Himself.
God is transforming me into the Holy of Holies, his dwelling place through the power of the Holy Spirit living in me.
Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.

Monday Oct 18, 2021
Today's meditation is based on Ephesians 1 from the Passion Translation
Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon me as a love gift from my wonderful Heavenly Father.
He chose me to be his very own, joining me to himself, even before he laid the foundation of the universe.
Since I am now joined to Christ. I have been given the treasures of redemption by his blood. The total cancellation of my sins. All because of the cascading riches of his grace.
This super abundant grace is already powerfully working in me, releasing within me all forms of wisdom and practical understanding through my union with Christ.
I've been claimed by God as his own inheritance.
Before I was even born. He gave me my destiny that I would fulfill the plan of God, who always accomplishes every purpose and plan in his heart.
I continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God's power made available to me, through faith. My life is an advertisement of his immense power as it works through me.
Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.

Episode 07: 1st Timothy 4-6

Sunday Oct 17, 2021
Today's Meditation is based on 1st Timothy 4-6, The Passion Translation
I know that all creation is beautiful to God and there is nothing to be refused if it is received with gratitude. All that I eat is made sacred by the Word of God and prayer.
I am known as a faithful and good minister of Jesus, the Anointed One. I nurture others in the living words of faith and in the knowledge of grace which I was taught.
I abstain from senseless traditions and legends. Instead, I'm engaged in the training of truth that brings righteousness.
My hope is in the living God. He is the wonderful life giver.
I am not intimidated by others; I am simply being the example they need to see by being faithful and true in all I do. I speak the truth and live a life of purity and authentic love as I remain strong in my faith.
I am diligent in devouring the Word of God, faithful in prayer, and in teaching. I do not minimize the powerful gift that operates in my life. I make this my constant meditation and make it real with my life so everyone can see that I'm moving forward.
I give careful attention to my spiritual life and every cherished truth I teach, for living what I speak will then release even more abundant life inside me and to all those who come in contact with me.
I keep myself pure and holy with my standards high.
I chase after true holiness, justice, faithfulness, love, hope and tender humility. I fight with faith for the winner's prize. I lay my hands on eternal life for this is my calling -- celebrating in faith before the multitude of witnesses.
I am not wrapped in thoughts of pride over my prosperity, nor do I rely on my wealth. For my riches are unreliable and nothing compared to the living God. I trust instead in the one who has lavished upon me all good things, fulfilling my every need.
I am rich in good words of extravagant generosity, willing to share with others. This provides a beautiful foundation for my life and secures for me a great future, as I lay my hands upon the meaning of true life. God's grace empowers me always.
Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.

Thursday Oct 14, 2021
Thursday Oct 14, 2021
Today's Meditation is based on 1st Thessalonians 1-5, The Passion Translation
God's delightful grace and peace rest upon me. I put my faith into practice and my love motivates me to serve others. My hope-filled patience in my Lord, Jesus Christ, is unrelenting.
I am dearly loved by God and he has chosen me to be his very own.
His Word is a continual, energizing force in me. Father God and my precious Lord Jesus guide my steps on a straight path. The Lord increases my love until it overflows toward all people and my heart is strengthened in holiness.
God's will is for me to be set apart for him in holiness. His call on my life is not to a life of compromise, but to a life surrounded in holiness. And so I let unselfish love increase and flow through me more and more.
I lead a calm and peaceful life, minding my own business and earning my living. I live honorably, influencing others and commanding respect of even unbelievers. I am in need of nothing and do not dependent upon others, because I know that God alone is my source.
I am a child of the light and of the day. I don't belong to the night or to the darkness. I stay wide awake and clear-headed by placing the breastplate of faith and love over my heart and the helmet of hope and salvation over my thoughts.
God has not destined me to experience wrath but to possess salvation through Jesus, the Anointed One.
I show deep appreciation for those who cherish me and diligently minister to me. My leaders who care for me, teach me and stand before the Lord on my behalf. They value me greatly with love. And I honor them with my love and respect.
I am skillful at encouraging those who feel inadequate. I am faithful to stand my ground, and help the weak to stand again. I am quick to demonstrate patience with everyone. I resist revenge and always pursue doing what is beautiful to others.
Joy is my continual feast. My life is a prayer and I give thanks in the midst of everything, always. This is God's perfect plan for me in Christ Jesus.
The God of peace and harmony sets me apart, making me completely holy. My entire being -- spirit, soul and body -- are kept completely flawless. The One who calls me by name is trustworthy and will thoroughly complete his work in me.
Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing

Episode 03: Proverbs 31
Wednesday Oct 13, 2021
Wednesday Oct 13, 2021
Today's Meditation is based on Proverbs 31:10-30 from The Passion Translation
I am a woman of strength and mighty valor. I am full of wealth and wisdom. Jesus paid a price for me greater than many jewels. I bring my family the rich spoils of victory and through my life, I bring what is good and not evil.
I search continually to possess that which is pure and righteous. I delight in the work of my hands.
I give out revelation truth to feed others, like a trading ship bringing divine supplies from the merchant.
Even in the night season, when the world seems dark, I rise up in power and set food on the table for the hungry ones in my house and for others.
I set my heart upon this nation, and take it as my own, carrying it within me, and praying for its leaders. I labor to plant living vines that bring forth fruit in my church, my community and my country.
I wrap myself in strength, might and power in all my works. My work is profitable., and my shining light will not be extinguished no matter how dark the night. My prayer life overcomes my circumstances, even in a culture where darkness prevails.
I stretch out my hands to help the needy, blessing them with my prosperity. I am known by my extravagant generosity to the poor, for I always reach out my hands to those in need.
I am not afraid of tribulation because my household is covered in the dual garments of righteousness and grace.
My clothing is beautifully knit together.
Even my works of righteousness, I do for the benefit of my enemies.
Bold power and glorious majesty are wrapped around me as I laugh with joy over the latter days.
My teachings are filled with wisdom and kindness as loving instruction pours from my lips.
I watch over the ways of my household and meet every need they have.
My family rises in one accord to extol my virtues and speak of me in glowing terms.
Charm can be misleading and beauty is vain and so quickly fades, but I will be praised because I live in the wonder, awe and fear of the Lord.
Until the next time, be blessed and be a blessing.

Monday Oct 11, 2021
Monday Oct 11, 2021
Today's meditation is based on 1 Cor 13:4-8 & 13, The Passion Translation.
I am incredibly patient. I am gentle and consistently kind to all. I refuse to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. I do not brag about my achievements nor inflate my own importance. I do not traffic in shame and disrespect nor selfishly seek my own honor. I am not easily irritated or quick to take offense. I joyfully celebrate honesty and find no delight in what is wrong. I am a safe place of shelter for I never stop believing the best for others. I never take failure as defeat for I never give up. I never stop loving.
Above all, love is the beautiful prize for which I run.
Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
