Activate Your Faith: It Is Your Birthright to Believe God

urbirthright, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

There comes a time in every believer’s life when we must move from simply knowing about Faith to actively living by Faith.

Faith is not just a church word.
Faith is not just something we talk about when life is hard.
Faith is not passive.
Faith is substance.

Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” — KJV

That means Faith gives spiritual weight to what you are hoping for. Faith brings heavenly substance into your earthly expectation. Faith is the active ingredient that connects what God has promised to what you are believing Him to manifest in your life.

When I ask in Faith, I can expect to receive. Why? Because Faith already carries the substance of what I am believing for.

Ask, Seek, Knock

In Matthew 7:7, Jesus says, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” — KJV

This is not just an invitation. It is a Kingdom principle.

Jesus did not say maybe. He did not say ask and hope God hears you. He did not say seek and maybe you will find. He said ask, seek, and knock.

There is a movement of Faith in this scripture. Ask requires Faith. Seek requires Faith. Knock requires Faith. To ask means I believe God can answer me. To seek means I believe God can be found. To knock means I believe there is a door that can open for me.

Faith is what keeps me asking when I do not see it yet. Faith is what keeps me seeking when I do not have the full picture. Faith is what keeps me knocking when the door has not opened yet.

Faith Is the Substance

Faith is powerful because it gives substance to hope. Hope says, “I believe it is possible.” Faith says, “I believe God is able.” Obedience says, “I will move like I believe Him.”

Hebrews 11 shows us men and women who lived by Faith. They did not always have all the details. They did not always know how God was going to do it but they believed God enough to obey Him.

By Faith, Noah prepared.
By Faith, Abraham went.
By Faith, Sarah received strength.
By Faith, Moses chose obedience.
By Faith, walls fell.
By Faith, people obtained a good testimony.

Hebrews 11:6 reminds us, “But without Faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is…” — KJV

Before I believe God for what He can do, I must first believe God for who He is.

He is faithful.
He is able.
He is present.
He is provider.
He is healer.
He is Father.
He is rewarder.

Faith Gives Birth to Testimony

Faith is often the beginning place of a testimony.

Before there is manifestation, there is belief.
Before there is evidence, there is trust.
Before there is a visible result, there is an invisible agreement with God.

When we believe God in Faith, we are saying, “Lord, I trust Your Word above my circumstances.”

Faith does not deny reality. Faith submits reality to the authority of God’s Word.

Faith says, “This is what I see, but God is greater.”
Faith says, “This is what I feel, but God is still faithful.”
Faith says, “This is what has happened, but God still has the final word.”

The believer’s life was never meant to be lived only by what we see. We are called to live by Faith.

The Gift of Faith

Faith is not something we have to manufacture in our own strength. God has given us Faith, and the Holy Spirit teaches us how to access it, grow in it, live by it, and use it for the Glory of God.

Faith grows when we hear the Word.
Faith grows when we obey God.
Faith grows when we remember what God has already done.
Faith grows when we pray and keep our eyes on Him.

Sometimes we are waiting on more evidence, but God is waiting on us to activate what He has already placed within us.

You do not need perfect faith to begin.
You need active Faith.

Use the Faith you have. Speak the Word. Pray the prayer. Take the step. Ask again. Seek again. Knock again.

It Is Your Birthright

As a believer, Faith is part of your spiritual inheritance. It is your birthright to believe God. It is your birthright to ask in Faith. It is your birthright to trust the Father. It is your birthright to expect God to be who He said He is.

You were not born again to live underneath fear, doubt, and unbelief. You were born again to walk with God, believe His Word, and carry a testimony that points back to His goodness.

So today, activate your Faith.

Ask God again.
Believe God again.
Trust God again.
Stand on His Word again.
Expect His faithfulness again.

Faith has substance. Faith carries evidence. Faith pleases God. Faith produces testimony. And when you ask in Faith, according to His will and His Word, you can trust that your Father hears you.

Prayer

Father, in the name of Jesus, teach me how to live by Faith. Strengthen my heart to believe Your Word above my circumstances. Help me to ask, seek, and knock with confidence, knowing that You are faithful and You are good. Holy Spirit, teach me how to access the gift of Faith, grow in Faith, and use my Faith for the glory of God. I declare that I will not live by fear. I will not be ruled by doubt. I will walk by Faith, believe Your promises, and trust You for the testimony. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Faith Declaration

I activate my Faith today.
Faith is the substance of what I hope for.
Faith is the evidence of what I cannot yet see.
I ask in Faith.
I seek in Faith.
I knock in Faith.
I believe God is faithful.
I believe God is able.
I believe God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
My Faith is alive, active, and growing.
I will receive the testimony that gives Glory to God.
Faith is my birthright, and I choose to live by Faith.

Yours in Christ Jesus

Grace That Empowers, Mercy That Embraces

urbirthright, , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Grace That Empowers, Mercy That Embraces

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” – Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV)

God extends a powerful invitation to us—one that encourages intimacy, boldness, and trust. He doesn’t ask us to come timidly, fearfully, or hesitantly. Instead, He says: Come boldly. Why? Because we are not approaching a throne of judgment, but a throne of grace.

In this sacred space, two things await us:

1. Mercy – God’s Compassion Toward Our Condition

When we come before God, we obtain mercy. Mercy is God’s tender compassion toward us. It’s His willingness to withhold the punishment we deserve and instead extend forgiveness, pity, and loving-kindness. Mercy meets us in our lowest moments—in our sin, our suffering, our weakness—and says, I see you, and I still love you.

Mercy says:

  • “I understand where you are.”
  • “I have compassion for what you’ve been through.”
  • “I forgive your mistakes and heal your wounds.”

Lamentations 3:22–23 reminds us:

“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning.”

This means we never run out of mercy. God’s compassion is not only available—it’s abundant and renewed daily.

2. Grace – God’s Empowerment for Our Journey

After we obtain mercy, we find grace to help in time of need. Grace is more than unmerited favor—it’s divine empowerment. It is the supernatural strength to endure, to overcome, and to fulfill what God has called us to do. Grace lifts us when we feel weak, equips us when we feel unqualified, and carries us when we cannot carry ourselves.

God doesn’t just show you kindness—He gives you power to endure and overcome.

2 Corinthians 12:9 declares:

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

This means we don’t just receive sympathy for our struggle—we receive strategy and strength for the struggle. Grace doesn’t eliminate the process; it equips you to go through it with victory.

So how do we respond?

  • We come boldly—without shame, fear, or hesitation.
  • We come consistently—not just when things are good or bad, but as a lifestyle.
  • We come expectantly—knowing that God delights in responding to the cry of His children.

In summary:
At the throne of grace, you receive:

  • Mercy for your past and present condition
  • Grace for your future and your fight

You are not alone. You are not helpless. You are not without hope.

God has opened the way—so draw near, ask boldly, and receive both His heart (mercy) and His hand (grace). He is ready to meet you where you are and empower you to walk through whatever lies ahead.

Yours In Christ Jesus

Powerful in the Holy Ghost

urbirthright, , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

There is so much power in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I don’t know if we know how much power we really have access to. I do not know if we understand the power that resides in us is through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Today, if you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, I implore you to try him today.  Try accessing that life changing power today.   I truly believe that we have various opportunities throughout the day to Minister to the needs of others. With such great access to such great power, why are we holding back??? Could it be that we are so busy with life that we miss our heavenly opportunities?

We do not even have the imagination of what the Holy Spirit can, will, shall, and must do through us. Will you even try today? Don’t miss a moment to show God’s Love, Majesty, Mercy, Grace, Power, Miracles, Signs, and/or His Wonders.

As I was reading my devotional today it took me to Acts 3.  Peter and John have been recently baptized with fire in the Holy Spirit. They are about to enter the temple and run into a man at the gate called Beautiful. The Bible said he was a lame man and had been that way for 40 years, since birth as a matter of fact. He was there begging for money which is what he did daily.

When the apostles see this man the first thing, they did was felt compassion for him. The ministry that Jesus operated in all the time, kicked in and they began to engage him by speaking to him. Next, they gave him something, not what he wanted or what he asked for. But how many of you know that if you have been unable to walk for 40 years…. I believe it is safe to say that the lame man knew and felt like this was his lot in life. His thoughts could possibly have been I will be like this for the rest of my life. The rest of my days I will be unable to walk, unable to provide for myself or my family without coming here and begging. I think it is a safe It is safe to say that he was relegated to this position and or posture.

However, here comes the Disruptors (Peter and John) with their no having silver and gold selves.  Answering the lame man responded by saying this is what I have for you.  Take up your bed and walk in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene. And suddenly, his feet felt something that they had never felt before. Power surged in his body and he began to stand up in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Bible said at once he stood up. He began to walk around on his new legs and feet. And entered into the temple, leaping and jumping and praising God.

So once again, my brothers and sisters, I implore you to access the power of the Holy Spirit that God has granted you and Jesus gifted you. Go out today and throughout your day and throughout your week seek who you can bless with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Who will cross your path today or tomorrow? And You will access the power of the Holy Spirit, operate in the ministry that Jesus called You to, and witness the power of the Holy Spirit move on behalf of the person you are praying for.

Yours in Christ

HOPE

urbirthright, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

The God we serve is such a restorative Father.  His unfailing Love for us never ceases and His mercies are new to you and I every morning.  Wow, every morning I am able to draw on new mercies to start my day.  What an Amazing promise and your faithfulness is so great. My soul rejoices in the truth that the Lord is my portion and I shall HOPE in Him.

These scriptures (Lamentations 3:21-24) share the heart of God where we are concerned.  God’s plan for our lives has been and is currently restorative and redemptive.  His Love for you and I does not end, it is persistent and unmovable towards us.  Now more than ever we need to lean into Him for He is our portion.  Me, MySoul, and I shall HOPE in the LORD.    

Today I choose to watch the Lord restore my home, my city, my state, my country, and my world.  I will not let the distractions and destructions of 2020 keep me from witnessing and receiving the Blessings of the Lord.  With every new day I receive new mercies that redeem and restore my life. Lord I Thank You.

Look to the HILL!

Psalm 121:1

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

What are you need of today? Is it your health? Has the enemy robbed you today or yesterday in any area of your LIFE.  What are you Looking at.  I have come to rely on this scripture more and more.  My mother-in-law quotes this scripture ALL the Time.  I never knew why this was her go to scripture but as I have grown in the word of and as an adult I know what it truly means.

When I hear this song by Travis Green I am reminded of several scriptures but this one especially.  Psalm 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.  The Bible tell us we are the healed.  We as Believers, Christians, Children of the Most High God, the Remnant, or whatever adjective you are claiming today on the cross, on that hill, “Calvary” that Jesus said it is finish.

Today we operate in the finish work of Jesus.  We now have power and authority that was given back to us and all finished work at the cross is Ours.  So your healing is finished.  I’m dealing with healing today.  I have so many people connected to me that are being plagued in their bodies with sickness and disease and unrest and people of GOD that is not our portion.  You were healed at Calvary sickness and disease is trying to come up on you.  Whose report will you believe? Where are you Looking? What is your heart set on? Your healing/healed state of being or what the enemy and symptoms are saying. Today lets BELIEVE God.  8/22/2016

PRAYER6975079-green-hills

I pray for a Supernatural Revealed Word to be released over your Life today.  I plead the Blood of Jesus over every area that is contrary to the word of God concerning your body.  You are healed from the top of your heads to the soles of your feet.  No weapon shall by no means prosper against you I pray for divine health to manifest Now in Jesus name.  You are healed, You are whole, You are set free in Jesus name.  Lord we Thank you Right now in advance for you finished work in our lives in every area.  In Jesus name Amen.

 

Enmity

urbirthright, , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Enmity = Hostility, Hate, Antagonism, Hatred, Animosity, Antipathy, Rancor,     Ill will, Meanness, Nastiness, Spite, Resentment, Malice, Bitterness, Acrimony, Opposition, Dislike, Ill feeling, Loathing, Dislike, Abhorrence, Detest, Disgust, Bad Blood…

The Lord put enmity between you (WOMAN) and the enemy…..and Your seed and the enemy…..

Genesis 3:15

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Early this morning during prayer time I heard the Lord say I put Gen: 3:15 there for a reason.  Woman I do not want you to be complacent and think everything is OK.  Are you declaring and decreeing over your seed.  You are in a Spiritual War for your seed (children).  Who is winning?  Are You winning? Is satan winning?   Selah

I want you to really think about that before you answer.  Where has the enemy come in and touched your child (Kill, Steal, and Destroy)?  Do not be lulled into your ritualistic behaviors of getting up go to work, get off pick up kids, cook dinner, check homework, go to bed and repeat.  All the while your children are slowly slipping away from you.

The Lord is high lighting ENMITY today.  Please remember the devil is not your friend.  The devil will not leave your seed alone if you don’t “mess” with him.  You better open your eyes Mom/Dad/Guardians and see the salvation of the Lord and the tricks and schemes of the enemy.  This is an (RSA) Remnant Service Announcement. 8/23/16

PRAYER

Father I come to on behalf of our children today to lift them up before you God and ask that you continue to Bless and Keep them.  I thank you for divine instructions and supernatural protection in the name of Jesus.  Lord I thank you for Supernatural Divine health, wealth, and revelation to be the portion that my seed encounters.  I thank you that you put ENMITY between my family and the enemy and that no weapon shall prosper.  Glory to God in Jesus name Amen.

Oh To Be Led…

urbirthright, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

Oh to be led by the Holy Spirit. It really is the only way to live. It we are left to our own devices we may coast for a while but eventually our worlds come crashing down. I know I need a Savior, for He is my strength and help.

His guidance and leadership in my life helps to keep me from the traps and pitfalls in this world. Even if I happen to make a wrong decision I know from firsthand experience God delivers. I just want to take this opportunity to Thank the Father for always having my back and my family’s back as well.

I recently read something very disturbing by someone I love and I immediately wanted to put them in check but the Holy Spirit stopped me and ministered to me on 2 thing…First to get my spirit correct but I was about to react in the flesh in the Name of Jesus (which is all kinds of wrong) and Second how to respond by not responding. Holy Spirit showed me that this person is truly Lost spiritually and how to intercede for them. I will have an opportunity to speak with this person and when I do I will have the correct (Holy Spirit Filled) words to benefit that soul.

I leave you with this one thing….Hate the Sin and Love the Person……

What is LOVE?

urbirthright, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

What is LOVE for REAL? We throw that word around so casual but even in its natural meaning it carries a lot of weight. As a noun it’s an intense feeling of deep affection for someone or something and as a verb its deep romantic feelings, caring for someone. Now, that is well and good but let’s look at LOVE in the biblical sense. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 New International Version (NIV) Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. This is LOVE.

Simply having patients and kindness in your heart is a great start. Walking in LOVE is not really hard if you want to please the FATHER. The first thing you must do is keep it on your mind daily…Today I will walk in LOVE…Let’s make a conscious decision to participate in this walk. We walk for Heart disease, Cancer and other worthy causes let’s walk in LOVE on Purpose.

Pick a LOVE Characteristic: Patients, Kindness, Don’t Envy, Don’t Boast, Don’t be Proud, Honor Others, Lets’ not Self Seek, Don’t Anger Easily, Keep no record of Wrong Doing, Rejoice with Truth, Protect, Trusts, Hopes, and Perseveres. Practice a characteristic today.

True Elevation

urbirthright, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

God has a better plan for you than you can even imagine. I was reading in Act ch 6 this morning where the 12 disciples of Jesus were in need of someone to step in and handle the business of the ministry. The 12 needed help…someone to serve. The requirements of the 7 individuals needed for service, were men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost, and Wisdom. The 7 were chosen and of the 7, 2 stood out the more. Phillip and Steven although qualified for service and served well they had extra. Man chose them to serve but God chose them to win souls.

If you read the accounts of Stephen and Phillip you will see great exploits for the LORD. These men were chosen to serve and in their service and commitment to the cause GOD elevated them. They remained humble and faithful and HOLY. God had a better plan for their lives.

God has a better plan for your life as well. God can choose you, fill you with the His Spirit, and elevate you to a place where healing and salvation is the ministry you steward. Oh, how marvelous to be in His will and plan for our lives. Ask God for those qualifications: honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and Wisdom then remain humble and faithful and watch God himself elevate you.
