Welcome to another day with Jesus, a daily morning podcast, bringing you the word of life. As you wake up to the several possibilities of a new day, made this word, stir up your faith and equip you to be victorious.
Greetings in Jesus name. Welcome to this amazing new morning. I hope that you are enjoying this process of being purified by the Lord. I pray that the Lord is himself very personally involved in helping and equipping and edifying you. If you read the book of Jeremiah 47:6, the Bible says you sword of the Lord, how long will it be before you are quiet, put yourself back into this rest and be still the prophet. How long will it be before the sword of the Lord will come to arrest? When will it happen that God will take a break?
I am in control, God says, and yet I am the one who allowed it. I have ordained for your sanctification. I have decreed that you will be purified, he adds. That is why I have allowed the sword to run through your land.
I am the sovereign God who is in charge because I know that the real you is going to manifest in the midst of the adversity, Jesus said. The prayer would be saying, you are my gardener stretch forth. Your pruning hooks stretch forth that sword or that sickle and do your cleaning. If there are any things that can become a trap or a temptation against me against the plans and the purposes of God in my life, then purify me today. In Jeremiah, the prophet looks at the nations that the Lord is destroying around him.
He says, I think this is too much. I think we cannot bear it. It could have been financially and economically a disaster, even for the nation of Israel. And yet it was for their betterment. Only those that have the eye to see things from God’s perspective will look at a disaster like this and see the hand of the Lord.
Whether you produce fruit or whether you don’t, both of you will get touched on by the razor. But the ones that do produce fruit, the father, he’s going to prune them.
It is not to destroy you, that the Lord cuts you when the Lord cuts you – It is because he wants to make sure you multiply. Your fruitfulness goes to the next level. So instead of saying you sort of rested, we say you sword of the Lord, finish your work in my life.
Dear father, we thank you for the, I use of discernment that you’ve given to your children to know when the Lord is trying to discipline us to know when the sword of the Lord is trying to disconnect us from the enemies from the perhaps that is laid around us. We thank you for the grace. You have given us to submit in this season to acknowledge your goodness, to acknowledge your good plans for each and every one of our lives. We healed ourselves to the sword of the Lord to be helped, to be corrected, to be prune and to be purified and to be accelerated into greater fruitfulness in Jesus mighty name, we pray. Amen.

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
