And, that's not all. You will have complete and free access to God's kingdom, keys to open any and every door: no more barriers between heaven and earth, earth and heaven. A yes on earth is yes in heaven. A no on earth is no in heaven. 

Matthew 16:19

The God of heaven loves you so much that He sent His son to die for you, and because of that gift, you have access to eternal life. He has given you the keys to heaven! He has opened up His heart to you, and invited you into a world of life and freedom.

You have every opportunity to walk this freedom of grace and hope today because His heart is for you and not against you. He offers you grace, mercy, and forgivness. His heart for you is more love and so abundant; it is beyond imagination.

You are His child, beloved in His sight. Today is your day to accept the richness He has to offer you! He is pursuing you with a wealth of character that will carry you through this journey with peace. He is good. He is love. He is eager to be with you.

Take the keys today!

For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

1 Corinthians 16:9

A great and effective door has opened to you, and you have the choice to walk through. There are many opportunities for you through the open door, yet there are also many adversaries. It takes courage to walk through the door! The Spirit of God will rise up within you today to strengthen you and fight the adversaries that oppose you. Believe in His power and the love of Jesus within you, and take that step through the door. 

Who are these adversaries? Fear, discouragment, self, envy, etc...  How can you fight? Bring them to God in prayer. Lay then at His feet, fully and openly. 

You may be standing at the edge of breakthrough on this very day, you are in the center of war. The enemy of your soul is pushing hard to close the door, but the Lover of your soul lifts you up and holds the door open for you to walk through on this day. Believe that you can with the power of His might.

What is your door of opportunity today? Where is God calling you to go, and what is holding you back?  His victory is yours, His strength is your stength. 

Take your step. The door is Open.

We're able to stretch our hands out and receive what we asked for because we're doing what he said, doing what pleases him. 

1 John 3:22 

The Father loves you with a great abundance because you are His beloved child. Today is the day that you can open your heart to His heart and let all that He has to offer you into your being. Receive His perfect gifts, for He is so gracious towards you. All good gifts come from the Hand of the Father, and He stretches His Hand towards each one of us; it is full and abundant, running over.

He is there to provide in every area of your life.

Sometimes it feels like a stretch to believe that He is there in all these ways or that He will work out so many of our problems for our best. Sometimes it's a stretch to just get up in the morning.

He understands your stretch! 

The King of Kings had to stretch too, He saved your life! He stretched from Throne to manger. He knows how to stretch. He went from walking streets of gold, to streets of dirt. From King to Babe. He knows about the steps of courage in every stretch.

Today He will walk with you, and reach down to grab your hand. Stretch up, stretch out, He is there, just believe!

Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and He will provide for you what you desire the most. 

psalms 37:4

Today you will have the desires of your heart, for you are delighting yourself in the Lord! Everywhere you turn, you see what He has done for you! The words you speak are words of truth and joy, for He is overflowing within your heart. Even if obstacles come your way, delight still dances in your soul, for when He is the root of delight, He is the driving desire. 

Every gift that comes your way is His generous provison. His love lavishes you in His prosperity. 

Peace, joy, hope, faith, kindness, strength, and wonder.

To be deeply rooted in God, to truly delight in His presence everyday of your life, is a lifestyle. In that lifestyle, He moves within us, redeems, restores, and renews us. He changes our desires to be His desires. A once selfish life becomes a God-pleasure life, full and delightful on the inside. 

Eternal.

He provides what you desire most. He loves you. Accepts you. Knows you. And, He will never leave you.

This is delight.
