T.O.D.A.Y.'S ENCOURAGEMENT for Oct. 10, 2008
T.O.D.A.Y.
Ministries
14745 Merrilltown #1611 Austin TX 78728 Good Morning!
What
are you going to wear today? That is the question that The
Lord awakened me with one morning! I knew in my spirit that He was
wanting to give me "revelation knowledge" to share in my
Encouragements . . . even though I did not get it all at once. As I
shared in one of my earlier Encouragements, He began to talk to me about the
different spiritual "garments" that we have been given. He
reminded me of how often He told us to "put on" certain things, and
that we should "clothe" ourselves with certain things! I am
just "recapping" for the benefit of those that may just now be
reading about all of this. Currently I am sharing about the
"garment of Praise", and I will be sharing about the other
"garments" as we go along!
God
has given us a "garment of Praise" for the spirit of heaviness
(Isaiah 61:3) . . . I am reminded of a chorus that we sing in Church . . .
some of you may be familiar with it. It is a "toe-tapping"
song, so sing along with me if you know the tune . . . if you don't know the
tune, sing it anyway to your own "up-beat" and
"toe-tapping" melody! If you will, then I can promise you
that a "spirit of heaviness" won't be hanging around much longer!
Ready?~~~~~
PUT
ON A GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS;
LIFT
UP YOUR VOICE TO GOD! PRAISE HIM IN THE SPIRIT, AND THE
UNDERSTANDING;
OH!
MAGNIFY THE LORD!!!
A
"spirit of heaviness" can try to come upon us because of many
different reasons . . . it could be because of "stress" . . . it
could be because of "financial difficulties" . . . it could be
because of a "bad report" from the doctor or someone else . . . it
could also be because of "spiritual dryness" from not spending
time in God's Word and in fellowship with Him. Regardless of the
"reason" . . . we can get rid of that "heaviness" when we
begin to "Praise The Lord"! PRAISE "magnifies" God above
the "problems"! Therefore, if we are wearing our "garment
of Praise" (as an undergarment) . . . then we will not have to
"entertain" the spirit of heaviness while we are looking through our
"spiritual closet", trying to FIND our garment of Praise! We
will already be "dressed" for the occasion! You can refer back
to my last Encouragement that talks about our "garment of Praise".
I have so much more to share about our garment of Praise before I move on to
the rest of our "spiritual wardrobe"!
Have
a Blessed Day!! (What are YOU
going to wear today?) In
His Love, Luanne
