The Word Provides
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” —Psalm 119:105 (CSB)
In this season, you may notice that my writings have shifted slightly. During a recent time of prayer, I asked God, “How do I fight these demonic spirits?” I shared with Him that there are so many books and resources on spiritual warfare—so many perspectives on how to approach the enemy. “Which ones should I read and follow?” I asked.
His response was clear: “Read the Bible and do what I did.”
Immediately, I began searching for every scripture that showed how Jesus responded when He encountered demonic spirits. What I found surprised me—Jesus spoke only a few words, with authority and faith, and the spirits left.
After reading those passages, I felt the Lord say, “I want you to take every verse that begins with ‘Jesus said’ and write about them. I want you to reflect on what I said in each situation so that believers can clearly understand how to move in the Spirit.” He reminded me: “This is not complicated. I’ve made it simple. I have sent the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you.”
From this point forward, the devotionals you receive will focus on what Jesus said—His words in response to various situations—until the Holy Spirit instructs me otherwise. The goal is to help us walk in faith, using His words, and to remind God of what He said when we face our own challenges. YHWH desires for us to understand His Word and move as Jesus did. Just as He trained His disciples to be messengers who spoke His words, we are called to do the same.
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” —2 Timothy 3:16–17 (CSB)
Prayer
Father, we thank You for Your Word that provides everything we need to face whatever comes our way. You have already equipped us. I pray that any unbelief be cast out, so that we may walk according to Your Word and witness the manifestation of Your promises. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
