Rebooting Day 4

What a great day!  I spent my day 4 feeling good, chilling with my kiddos, and doing a photo shoot.  (check out my photography on FaceBook or at OpenOurEyes Photography) Then in the evening we all went to our amazing Church for some worship, communion, and prayer.  Just a really awesome night.  Towards the end, all of us staff went up front and our pastor invited everyone to come up for a prayer of blessing over their lives.  Some people had specific area to be prayed over, and others were sharing victory already won and that God would just continue to bless their lives.  Like I said.....amazing.

My time with God yesterday was a little WORD via YouVersion in my Joyce Meyer reading plan, which I thought was great enough to share with you all here...just re-affirming what God has been telling me all through this fast....Simplicity....it's not about rules and regulations.  It's about Freedom, Courage, and Boldness.  Walking with the Lord, letting Him work FREELY in our lives.....

There are too many unhappy born-again, Spirit-filled believers who don't know what it's like to remain full of the Spirit of God by acknowledging Him and pursuing His ways daily. The Holy Spirit is in them, but they don't let the evidence of it show up in their normal, day-to-day life.
It is possible to fill a glass with water without filling it to full capacity. Likewise, when we are born again we have the Holy Spirit in us, but we may not yet be totally filled and have the evidence of His power in our lives. 

Acts 4:31 reports that when people were filled with the Holy Spirit, they spoke the Word of God "with freedom and boldness and courage."

It does not please God when people leave Him out of their daily lives and then follow religious formulas to try to appease Him. Instead, He wants us to live the Spirit-filled life of freedom, boldness and courage. 

I urge you to let God work freely in every area of your life through the power of the Holy Spirit. 

Prayer Starter: God, I want to be filled with the Holy Spirit every day. Help me to live with the freedom, boldness and courage You give in my daily life.

- Joyce Meyer, Everyday Life Promises, Daily Devotional 


Acts 4:31
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

So good, right?!!!
