Because God is omnipresent... those who lean and rely on Him, putting their firm trust in Him and the truth according to the Bible will not lose their way. God is a light in darkness. He promises to be a Lamp unto our feet and a Light unto our pathway.

God's Word is always present and available to us to help navigate us successfully through life. God's Word, also, guides us to the presence of God where we are sure to experience His omnipotence (almighty power).

A healthy mindset is vital to maintaining a well-balanced life. Our thoughts impact our behavior. Furthermore, how we think really does impact all aspects of our lives. "Be renewed in the attitude, deep-seated personality, the life force of your intellect." (Ephesians 4:23)

Repeat after me: I will set my mind to think differently and to be a better version of myself in public and in private.

Think about a situation today that challenged you to think differently and to see the right results.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

It is God who keeps us on course when life and challenges desire to redirect us from going the right way and doing the right things. Doing what is right and being a better version of ourselves is not about impressing our way to heaven or proving how good we are and how good we can be while here on earth. Doing what is right and being a better version of ourselves is about acknowledging that we owe it to God to steward well the life that He has given us.

Read and write down Roman 12:1.

The breath and life of God sustains human life, livestock, insects, vegetation and all agriculture. All living things were created by God according to Genesis 1. Now skeptics, philosophers, theologians and scientists can try to attest such truth, but their arguments do not change that God is the Creator of all things within the universe.

Read Romans 1:18-25 and discover the reckless mentality that birthed the existence of myths, dogmas and the spread of theory versus truth.

Write down what led to the practice of anti-God, atheism, various religions and mythology according to Romans 1:18-25. Humanity rebelled and God sovereignly responded to their rebellion. Just because you strongly believe something is right doesn't make it tight. The Bible and the Holy Spirit are the plumbline to all things. If what you believe is in contradiction to the Scriptures... You are in error.

You may not believe or agree that 1+1=2 or 1×1=1. However, just because you do not agree or believe in the laws that govern addition and multiplication doesn't change the laws because of your beliefs that are in error. The laws are what they are. Every law cannot be changed to satisfy the misguidance of some people's beliefs. 

If you fail to grasp or accept the laws of math, science or grammar in class, what happens? You fail the course. God is no different when it comes to the Bible. Spiritual things have always existed before the temporal things on earth. If you fail to live up to the laws that govern the universe, you will fail.

This is true to a certain extent. God does hear our prayers. However, according to the Bible unforgiveness, bitterness, blatant disobedience, lying, strife and abuse (verbal, mental, emotional or physical) can hinder our prayers from being heard and answered by God (Matthew 5:23-24, 18:15-19; Ephesians 5:21-33; James 1:1-3; 1Peter 3:7).

Take note that when you are practicing these sins and you get your way in the moment and for a time, it doesn't mean it was God who answered your prayers or that it won't be repercussions later down the road for you forcing your own will. We must pray in alignment with God's Word and Will and patiently wait for Him to respond, because He will!

If God is not in the past, why are your still there? Why are your still dwelling in a time, place and space that God and the miracles and move of God has moved on from? It is clear that God is not there when there is strife, quarrels and forced movements of miracles, signs and wonders by the manipulation of people. 

Satan is a magician. The Bible calls Satan's replica of the move of God lying wonders (2Thessolonians 2:9). God never manipulates His authority or power to produce a miracle or a movement. We call such manipulation fabrication. 

God will never ask us to lie, steal, manipulate, prey or pry our way into a miracle or movement. God will never ask us to lie, manipulate, prey, pry, steal or deceive to get to where we need to go or to fulfill our purpose. The key to authentic miracles and revival is active faith in God (Habakkuk 2:4; Mark 11:22-26; Acts 1:8, 2:1-4; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38, 11:1 &16).

I encourage you to seek God for closure, guidance and a new outlook on life, so that you can dwell in the now of your life and not the past. God is doing a new thing! Amen.

God, thank you for your omnipresence. Thank you that you are always with us who trust You and rely on You. I decree and declare that we will not lose our way, because You lead us and guide us by Your truth. Help us to look to the Bible and the Holy Spirit for sound guidance, prosperity and success. Thank You for Your eternal presence as we journey through life. Thank you that we are not alone. You are with us and go before us to give us a clear passage into Your purpose for our lives. I thank you that you are our personal Savior and Teacher. I pray salvation for our neighbors, families, friends, communities, peers, government and the world. Thank you for dwelling in our hearts, emotions, will, spirit, conscious and conscience. Thank you for Your Word that lives in our hearts. Thank You for dwelling in our thoughts. Thank You for giving us the intellect and Wisdom of Jesus. Let us think better, so that our lives can improve. Thank You for helping us to live a well-balanced life in all areas of our intellect and lives. God, thank You for dwelling within us. Help us to take care of our bodies and to maintain good physical health. Help us to be good stewards of our lives and health lifelong. Forgive us for denying the existence of God. Help us to acknowledge Your presence and power within the universe, in agricultural, in nature, in humanity, in livestock, in economics, in government and in science and spiritually matters. I renounce the spirits of false fear, manipulation, deception, lying, division, divination, strife, jealousy, disorder, disobedience, bitterness, narcissism, violence and abuse working through the lives of people and powers that hinder our prayers from being heard and answered by God. I bind and renounce the spirit of lying wonders according to 2Thessolonians 2:9. Help us to walk in truth, integrity and the power of the Holy Spirit. Help us to walk by faith, to think in faith, believe through faith and to see and experience the evidence of authentic faith in God. Uproot every demonic seed and tree around us and in our lives that is bearing evil fruit. I evoke the Spirit of revival with miracles, signs and wonders that come from God around the world. Help us to move from where You once were to where You are now. I renounce the temptations and idleness to stay in the past. I refute all arguments that tell us where God was is better than where God is now. I prophesy... God is doing a new thing, in Jesus name. Amen.
