Exodus 40:9 - John Hagee Daily Devotional (June-04-2022)

John Hagee (June-04-2022) Daily Devotional: Exodus 40:9 - And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it; and you shall hallow it and all its utensils, and it shall be holy.

As Moses and the children of Israel completed the Tabernacle of God, He commanded Moses to anoint the tabernacle and everything that was in it.

Every curtain, piece of furniture, article of clothing, and the priest was anointed with the oil of God. Without that anointing, nothing could be used for God’s purposes, could be close to God’s presence, or experience God’s power. His anointing sanctified the common and made it holy.

The religious leaders of Jesus’ day relinquished the anointing for man-made rules and empty traditions. Jesus called them white-washed tombs full of dead men’s bones. Outwardly, they had an appearance of religion, but their very lives denied the validity of its power (II Timothy 3:5). They preferred the prestige and comfort of their position over the true presence of God in their lives.

Have we exchanged our pride for His power? What separates our church services from mere social gatherings? The anointing! Without it, there is no power to see the prodigals come home, to break the chains of addiction, or for the impossible to become reality.

There is no substitute for the anointing of God! It is not optional. The anointing brings power and life and an explosion of abundance.

Blessing: May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. May the anointing of God be poured into you! May it draw you into His presence to experience His power and fulfill His purpose in your life.

Exodus 32:26 - John Hagee Daily Devotional (June-13-2021)

John Hagee (June-13-2021) Daily Devotional: Exodus 32:26 - …then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, ‘Whoever is on the Lord’s side—come to me!’ And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.

The border of the cross, the border of salvation is absolute. Jesus is the Door, the only point of access to cross the border into freedom.

After we step through the Door, we need to close it behind us. Many of us want the door to swing both directions. We choose to live on one side and then the other – not one side OR the other. We cannot live on both sides of the border. Jesus said it this way: “He who is not with Me is against Me…” (Matthew 12:30).

What is truly worth pursuing on the other side of the cross? On the other side of the cross are guilt and shame. On the other side of the cross are sickness and disease. On this side of the cross, “…He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).

On the other side of the cross are mountains that we cannot move and problems that we cannot solve. On this side of the cross, “whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says” (Mark 11:23).

On the other side of the cross, we have no hope, no power, and no ability. On this side of the cross, we have the authority of His name, the power of His Word, and the redemption of His blood. He makes it so easy to choose. Come on over to the Lord’s side.

Blessing: Heavenly Father, I am on Your side! Whatever falls around me, I want to be found standing next to You. Make me strong in the power of Your might. In the name of Jesus…amen.

Exodus 3:14 - John Hagee Daily Devotional (February-10-2021)

John Hagee (February-10-2021) Daily Devotional: Exodus 3:14 - And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”

Have you ever done the best you could in your own strength to help someone, but it wasn’t enough? Or you tried to make a difference at something, but it still fell apart? You reached out as far as you could, but in the end, your efforts weren’t even appreciated. And you told yourself, “I’ll never try that again. I try to help and just get my hand slapped.”

Moses felt that way. He was compelled to be the deliverer of God’s people enslaved in Egypt. It was God’s destiny for his life. But his initial attempt to intervene failed, and he had to flee to the backside of the desert. For 40 years I’m sure Moses told himself, “I’ll never try to help again. People don’t even care.” All by himself, Moses wasn’t enough. But at the age of 80, after one conversation with El Shaddai, the great I AM, Moses recognized that he suddenly was more than enough.

Child of God, don’t struggle in your own strength because it is “not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord. Wherever God sends you, be willing to go, knowing that I AM is on your side, and He is all you need.

Today's Blessing: And now may the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and give you His peace. May the Lord guide your steps back to the old paths, back to the paths that He has chosen for His children for generations, paths that bring peace and prosperity and hope and joy, paths of righteousness, paths of morality, paths of truths, paths of responsibility, paths of obedience to the Word of God, paths that will bring you to the gates of heaven and bless you throughout all of eternity. May you walk in those paths until you reach from this earth to touch the hand of God who brings you to the portals of heaven. In Jesus’ holy name, we pray and ask it.
