MANIFEST MANNA: Try Changing Your Approach
MANIFEST MANNA: Meditate on Hebrews 11:4-6. "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." As true Believers, we know that God not only hears our prayers, but he LISTENS to our prayers intently. God may even actually be influenced or persuaded by our prayers...However, what we sometimes forget is that a prayer is a REQUEST which can be declined or granted under the subjection to the Sovereign Will of God. Although we in our flesh have faulty hearing and selective amnesia, God has the divine ability to cut through the supposed "prayers" that are steeped in agendas, wrong motives, selfishness, and greed. God's inner ear can swiftly distinguish between a scheme and cry of desperation; He listens for requests lined in bitterness, anger, and arrogance as opposed to pain, [...]
MANIFEST MANNA: Can You Handle the Glory?
MANIFEST MANNA: Meditate on Romans 8:18-19. "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be manifested in us. v19 All creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed."

Some will turn away from the radiance, while others will be drawn to it. A "Yes" to the glory will be an incredible journey! And a "Yes" to the glory will come with a price! A "Yes" to the glory will change you forever. But know this: NOTHING in this world that we suffer can COMPARE with [...]
MIDNIGHT MEDITATION #15
MIDNIGHT MEDITATION #15 Psalm 18:23 "I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin." Tonight our meditation draws us into the Psalmist's incredible declaration, and self-affirmation of how he has walked the straight and narrow--keeping himself from sin. At first, one may under their breath say, "yeah, right"--blameless? no sin? No way. But with a little deeper consideration, we may see David as one who is simply giving his personal testimony to God. It's not that the Lord needs us to recount to Him all the great things we've done, or to remind Him of how good we've been--God already knows all these things, and more! However, every now and then in the midst of our challenges, and at the peak of our victories, WE ourselves must hear our own testimony resonate from deep within! There will be only a select few people who will know the [...]
