Direct Deposit

I am sure everyone knows what a direct deposit is but just in case....
A direct deposit is when your money goes straight from your work place into your account. You don’t have to make the transfer it automatically goes in there, it is dependable and convenient. You can withdraw it when you need to because it is already in there. 

Sometimes we need to make direct deposits into our spirit. This is when we take the word of God and directly deposit it into our spirits. So when we have to make a withdrawal we have what it takes to cover the cost. These cost include trials and tribulations but not just your own trials but also other people’s trials. People may come to you seeking advice on a situation and if you have not deposited anything into your spirit then do not be surprised when the advice you give is insufficient. You don’t have enough of the word of God in you to give Godly advice. You don’t have enough of the word of God in you to cover that trial your going through. Your coming up short and you don’t know what to do. Every time you give out advice that does not line up with the word of God your account is in the negative. Every time you tell someone something that goes against Gods word you have sinned against God. The only way to avoid this happening is by knowing what the word of God says and live by it. Psalms 119:10 says it best “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you”. Have Gods word stored up in your heart so when you need to withdraw a scripture to pass a test or to help someone else pass a test you give him or her the truth.  John 8:31 says, “So Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “if you abide in my word you are truly my disciples.”” We have to know the word of God to be disciples.  

With all the shootings and killings of innocent people is this not a time to band together as a Christian community and say look I know the world is a pretty messed up place, but let me introduce you to a man who can take the pain away. Let me point you to a God who loves you no matter what. Let me point you to the scriptures where God says his grace is sufficient. You are loved, you are beautiful, you are unique, you are a child of the most high, isn’t it time we start acting like it. How many more shootings will it take for people to realize this world is corrupt and the only true protection we have is that in Jesus Christ? Given our current circumstance we don’t need to just do a direct deposit once a month, we need to directly deposit the word of God into our spirits every day.

Lets pray,

God I pray for my sisters and brothers who are reading this. I pray that they know that you love them and care for them more then they will ever be able to understand. I pray they know that your grace is sufficient. I pray that they will be encouraged to read your word and have it stored in their hearts. I pray that you will strengthen those who are going through trials and tribulations. Let them know Father that they are not alone. It says in your word Lord that we should not be afraid or discouraged because you are with us and you will never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy31:8). Bless them to hold onto you God and to be unashamed to proclaim your name. I pray these things in Jesus name.

Amen
