Be the Glove — Let Him Move Through You

Scripture Readings

• "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." — Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)
• "For we walk by faith, not by sight." — 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)
• "Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts." — Hebrews 3:15 (NKJV)



Reflection

There are places and circles — even some we think are safe — where the Lord is unable to fully accomplish His will.

Why? Because there are no "words" for His power to follow through on what He has promised.

As the Lord inhabits our praises, His Spirit inhabits His words. His words tear down and rebuild; they create and bring His will into existence on this earth. The world itself was framed by the power of His spoken word.

Corrie ten Boom once described it like this: we are the gloves, and He is the hand. His hand fills the glove; one cannot function without the other. But in many places — even in Christian churches and families — there are no gloves, no willing vessels for Him to work through.

Where there is no faith, there is no fruit. Many don't even think in terms of what God can do behind the scenes. Even if they tried to take hold of something spiritually, they would not fully grasp what it means to believe and to stand firm in faith until the promise manifests.

Logic often reigns supreme, but God defies human logic. Christians know this well. Miracles, signs, and wonders move heaven on earth to bring about God's perfect will. Seas part, dry ground appears, and paths are created where none existed before. These are not the works of human reasoning but of divine power.

When God tells you about a house, you don't start by reasoning through the finances and possibilities. You hear Him say, "That's the house," and you trust that He will work everything else out.

If He leads you to go back to school but you don't have the tuition, trust Him. He knows how to open doors and provide. If you stay awake in faith and patient in spirit, you will see Him make a way.

But beware: when you start doing everything in your own strength — working three jobs to pay tuition, striving endlessly in your own effort — it may take years to accomplish what God could do in a single semester if you simply believe.

I want to ask you today: make the decision to believe.

I know too many groups of people who call themselves Christians yet would never partner with the Lord to stand in faith for doors to open. Instead, they tear down the ways of the Kingdom by trying to apply lessons from the "good old boys' school" of self-effort and logic.

As the Lord says, "Do not harden your hearts." Choose to grow in believing. Exercise your faith so you can be an example, a glove ready for His hand. When you do, His will can be accomplished in and through your life.



Prayer

Lord, I choose today to believe. Help me to be a willing vessel — a glove ready for Your hand. Teach me to trust You beyond my own logic and effort. Strengthen my faith so I can stand and see Your promises come to pass. May I not harden my heart but stay tender and responsive to Your voice. Use me to accomplish Your perfect will on this earth. In Jesus' name, Amen.



Reflective Question

Where have you been relying on your own strength instead of trusting God? What step can you take today to become His glove — ready and willing to be filled and used?

Not Enough Time For Me To Do Their Jobs Too (Nor You)


Scripture Readings
• "But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you…" — 1 John 2:27 (NKJV)
• "Look, I have specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri… I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts." — Exodus 31:2–3 (NLT)
• "For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function." — Romans 12:4 (NKJV)



Reflection

God gives us power in two distinct ways: the power that comes upon us and manifests through the gifts of the Spirit, and the power of the Holy Spirit within us to guide and teach us daily (1 John 2:27).

Do I believe the Lord anoints people for business and other areas beyond traditional ministry? Absolutely! That means not everyone is called to spend all their time focusing solely on healing or evangelism.

Like you, I see so many hurting people and long to make a massive difference in their lives. But many powerful testimonies — including those from Andrew Wommack's ministry — show that people receive healing as they personally take a stand on God's Word, often through teachings shared online or in books. Someone simply shares a link or a resource, and lives are transformed.

We don't have to feel like we are failing if we aren't going door to door or preaching on the street corner. (If God has called you to do that, do it boldly and joyfully!) But each of us has a unique assignment, and with that assignment comes an anointing to accomplish it.

Consider the artisans who built the temple: they were chosen and filled with God's Spirit to create beauty and carry out practical tasks (Exodus 31:2–5). In the same way, God anoints us for our specific callings — in business, art, teaching, intercession, administration, or any other field.

Today, there is so much division and noise. The enemy wants to distract us with chaos so we become ineffective in our true calling. Additionally, many self-proclaimed "experts" speak loudly without true knowledge, leading people astray.

I recently saw a book that claimed Jesus only came to heal our spirits, not our bodies. It was so persuasive it could have convinced even the most skeptical reader. These false teachings are dangerous and can harm or even destroy lives.

But here's the truth: we do have power. We can do our part — not by doing everything, but by doing what we are specifically called and anointed to do. Stay in your field. Trust God to place you where you will be most effective, and where your unique gifts will complement the Body of Christ.



Prayer

Lord, thank You for the unique calling and anointing You have placed on my life. Help me to stay focused on my assignment and not be distracted by the expectations or noise around me. Give me discernment to recognize false teachings and the courage to stand firm in Your truth. May I work faithfully in my field and encourage others to do the same, so together we build up Your Body in love and unity. In Jesus' name, Amen.



Reflective Question

Are you trying to carry assignments that don't belong to you? What is one area today where you can release unnecessary burdens and refocus on your true calling?

Expect the Unseen Work of the Lord

Expect the Unseen Work of the Lord

Scripture Readings:
• "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." — Proverbs 3:5–6 (NKJV)
• "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." — Ephesians 3:20 (NKJV)
• "For we walk by faith, not by sight." — 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)



Reflection:
As I woke, I heard the Holy Spirit say:

Do not fall into the common way of looking at situations. Instead, watch your steps and consider your actions carefully, always expecting that I am working behind the scenes. Do not force Me to step back by accepting the ordinary or settling for what is "normal." Expect Me to be doing something special — and I will be, even if you don't yet see or understand what I am doing.

We live in a world that pressures us to accept things at face value, to expect outcomes based on logic, trends, or human patterns. But as believers, we are called to live by a higher standard — by faith, not by sight.

God is always at work, orchestrating details far beyond what we can comprehend. When we choose to expect His supernatural involvement, we create room for Him to move freely. Our expectation becomes an invitation for His power to manifest in ways we cannot imagine.

Instead of shrinking our faith to match our circumstances, we must elevate our vision to match His promises. Even when we don't know what He is doing, we can rest assured that He is doing something good and purposeful.



Prayer:
Father, help me to look beyond the ordinary and to trust that You are always working behind the scenes on my behalf. Strengthen my faith so that I do not settle for what is common or expected, but instead live with constant expectation of Your goodness and miraculous power. I choose to believe that You are doing something special in my life today. In Jesus' name, Amen.



Reflective Question:
Where in your life have you accepted the "common" view instead of expecting God's extraordinary work? Ask the Holy Spirit to show you, and write down what He reveals.

Intercession Sensitivity. Pt 2

🔹When an Intercessor Trembles: Understanding Spiritual Sensitivity in Medical Settings

Have you ever noticed yourself trembling or feeling physically weak around medical environments or medical professionals? For some believers — especially those called as intercessors — this isn't simply a reaction of fear. It may point to a deeper spiritual reality.

▪️It Might Not Be Fear — It Might Be Discernment

Many intercessors are highly sensitive to spiritual atmospheres. They can literally feel the burdens, agreements, or spiritual climates present in certain places.

In the medical field, there is often:
• A heavy presence of sickness, pain, and death — both physical and spiritual.
• A spirit of human control or self-sufficiency (trusting in man above God).
• Fear-based agreements (fear of death, fear of diagnosis, fear of losing control).
• At times, religious spirits of hopelessness or fatalism ("This is terminal; there's nothing anyone can do").

An intercessor might pick up these spiritual realities instantly and tremble — not because they are personally afraid, but because they are sensing intense spiritual warfare and carrying deep compassion.

▪️ Empathic or Identificational Intercession

Intercession: Things to Consider pt1

🔹Answering the Call to Intercede: What Changes When You Say Yes?

▪️Before the Call

Many believers walk confidently in their own faith and personal devotional lives. They feel emotionally stable because they are primarily focused on their own burdens and those of their immediate circle. Their prayers tend to be more general:
• "God bless my family, my church, my city."

While they may possess spiritual gifts, these gifts might not yet be fully activated or directed toward intercession. They live faithfully, but without a deep sense of carrying the weight of others' spiritual struggles.


🔹When the Call to Intercession Comes

When a believer answers the divine invitation to become an intercessor, something profound begins to shift.

🛡️ Teaching: Witchcraft, Rebellion, and Carnal Judgment



💬 Opening Thought

"I don't think people are talking enough about how dangerous it is to try to judge spiritual issues with carnal thinking."

Many believers hear warnings about judging spiritual matters with a carnal mind, but often, those warnings stop short of explaining why it's so dangerous. Even respected pastors and teachers sometimes say, "I'll say no more and get back to the topic at hand."

But today, let's go deeper.
