Revelation 1:12-13 - John Hagee Daily Devotional (September-29-2022). Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man…
As God unfolded the revelation to John, He showed him seven golden lampstands. In the midst of them was a person so overwhelming that John fell prostrate before Him. The seven lampstands represent seven churches of Asia located in seven different cities. The One like the Son of Man wore a long robe with a gold sash across His chest. His eyes flamed like fire under wool-white hair, and His face blazed like the sun. Just as Jesus stood among the lampstands, the Tabernacle of the Old Testament was situated in the center of the camp in the midst of all the tribes of Israel. When God’s Shekinah glory fell, it radiated to all of His people.
The Lord longs to be at the center of our lives. He is to be our wellspring, the bountiful and beautiful source of all the good that flows in and out of our lives. He aims to be in the middle of our marriages, the hub of our families, and at the center of our churches. When we set our love on Him – make Him the focal point – He promises to rescue us from every trouble, to answer when we call, and to honor us (Psalm 91:14-15). Is He at the center of your life?
Today's 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 you establish Jesus in every concealed corner of your heart as Lord over all.

Proverbs 31:8-9 - John Hagee Daily Devotional (September-14-2022). Open your mouth for the speechless, in the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy
Isn’t it time for believers everywhere to stand up, speak out, and push back against moral corruption?
Proverbs urges us to speak up for those who have no voice, for the desolate and defenseless. We are to speak out for justice and stand up for the poor and needy. I John 3:17 challenges us: if we have adequate means, we must share sacrificially with others. If we see another in need, and we shut our eyes – and our hearts – how can we say that God’s love is alive in us?
The Bible presents beautiful examples of God’s care for the outcasts on the margins of society. Boaz ordered his workers to deliberately drop grain so Ruth could gather enough food. The widow of Zarephath used the last of her flour and oil to make a cake for Elijah, and God provided for her family until the drought ended in Israel. Jesus healed ten lepers.
James, the brother of Jesus, declared that true, pure religion before God was to visit the orphans and the widows, to reach out to the homeless and unloved in their distress (James 1:27). We have been blessed to bless others. Where is the Lord asking you to stand up and speak up?
Today's 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 you love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. May you love your neighbor as yourself. Amen and amen.

Luke 24:51 - John Hagee Daily Devotional (August-20-2022). Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.
Jewish families have practiced the power of the blessing since the days of Moses. Jewish fathers and mothers bless their children at Sabbath meals and bar or bat mitzvahs. They place their hands on their heads, and they speak aloud a blessing in the name of God. Their children live under the anointing of that blessing spoken over them by a spiritual authority.
Jesus of Nazareth began His public ministry with eight blessings in the Sermon on the Mount. Over and over, He pronounced believers to be blessed. He made it clear that God intends for us to be blessed.
Traditionally, Jewish rabbis delivered their messages from beginning to end without stopping. However, Jesus paused in the middle of His teaching to bless the little children. The disciples desperately tried to prevent the children from getting to Him, because that is what tradition dictated. However, Jesus welcomed the interruption, gathered them up in His arms, and blessed them. Throughout His time on earth, He imparted blessings to those He taught and touched.
Jesus began His earthly ministry with blessings, and He completed it with a blessing. The final thing that He did for His disciples was to bestow a blessing as He ascended into heaven. Jesus recognized and demonstrated the power of the blessing. Shouldn’t we?
Today's 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. Through dedicated speech and believing lips will God open the windows of heaven and bless you beyond your capacity to contain it!

Proverbs 18:21 - John Hagee Daily Devotional (August-19-2022). Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
A miracle in your mouth is waiting to be spoken into existence! The power of the prophetic blessing is released through your supernatural proclamation based upon the Word of God.
When Aaron, the high priest and spiritual authority over Israel, spoke God’s words, His miraculous blessings flooded the lives of His children. God has ordained fathers as the spiritual authorities of our homes. The most powerful gift we can give our children is to lay our hands upon them and speak God’s blessings over them.
We have the ability to release God’s supernatural power into their lives – power that protects, that controls their destinies, that shapes their self-esteem, that bolsters their self-confidence, that speaks levels of success over them for the rest of their lives.
Too many children live under a curse spoken inadvertently by their parents. Toxic words have destroyed their self-image, eroded their hope, and diminished their futures. Parents have the Godly mandate and spiritual authority to direct our children in the way that they should go.
Call your children by name, and speak blessings over their relationship with Jesus, their health, their friendships, their academic studies, and every endeavor. Send them out with the angels of God before and behind them and the promise of a victorious day ringing in their ears. Speak life!
Today's 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. Proclaim the blessings of God over your children, so they will walk in the divine destiny He has purposed for each one. Amen and amen.

Deuteronomy 28:2 - John Hagee Daily Devotional (August-17-2022). And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God.
The Lord listed the blessings that would overtake the children of Israel if they would only obey His commands. Everything that He promised to His chosen people has now come to us through the Cross of Christ. The word “overtake” means to flood our lives – much like a tidal wave sweeping away a child’s sandcastle. We will be helpless against the overwhelming outpouring of His blessings!
Deuteronomy 28 spells out the many blessings He promises. We will be blessed in the city and the country. Wherever we go, He will pour out His favor.
We will be blessed in the fruit of our body – our children who are gifts from the Lord. We will be blessed in our basket and store; we will have more than enough in our finances. We will loan to others but have no need to borrow ourselves. If enemies come against us from one direction, they will flee in seven directions – scattered like straw in the wind!
Whatever we put our hand to, He will bless. Whether we are a salesman or a scientist, God will prosper the work we do. We will be the head and not the tail – always coming out on top! Others will see that we belong to the Lord and will stand in awe of our generous Father.
Today's 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. With complete confidence in the God Who promised, pronounce this truth over your life: I am born to be blessed!

John Hagee (August-16-2022) Daily Devotional: Numbers 6:24-26 - The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
The blessing is an impartation of the supernatural power of God into a human life by the spoken word of God’s delegated spiritual authority.
In ancient Israel, God commanded the high priest, Aaron, to speak His blessing over the whole nation. When Aaron obeyed, God instantly began to pour out miraculous riches on His chosen people.
Today, we are His chosen people, and we were born to be blessed (1 Peter 2:9)! Not because we deserve it, but because we have a generous Heavenly Father Who wants to give us the best in this life and the one to come.
His grace knows no limits. His love has no measure. His compassion has no boundaries. His mercies are renewed every morning. He is the Glory and the Lifter of our heads. Through the sacrifice of His own Son, He provided the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
He is the wonderful Counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). He is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother. He is our Savior, Deliverer, Shield, Fortress, and High Tower.
This is the God Who blesses us exceedingly abundantly, above all that we can ask or imagine!
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 supernatural blessing of the Lord transform your mind and life through the power of His Word and the mighty name of Jesus!

2 Corinthians 13:5 - John Hagee Daily Devotional (August-15-2022). Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
As the signs of the last days rage around us, our sovereign God is still in control. As He delays His coming, we need to heed the wake-up call and warn others that the time to choose Jesus is now.
Today’s verse encourages every person to examine himself. Are you truly in the faith? Is Christ really at work in your heart? Are His power and wisdom growing in you every day? Are you looking more and more like your Father? The Bible warns us of a broad way that leads to destruction; multitudes will take that easy path to eternal loss. The gate is small, and the path is narrow that leads to true, eternal life, and few will find it (Matthew 7:13-14). To find that path and to stay on that path takes discipline and focus.
Test yourself! Where are you in life? Are you walking the narrow, blood-stained path that leads to the Cross? Or are you strolling hand in hand with the world? Be certain that you are ready when that final trumpet blast rents the air. Tell others about a Savior Who loves us so much that He does not want to live without us.
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. If you are numbered among the redeemed, rejoice that your name has been written in the Lamb’s Book of Life and that Jesus will one day present you faultless before God the Father!

Romans 8:11 - John Hagee Daily Devotional (August-12-2022). But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
When the Spirit of the Living God dwells in a believer, He will raise us up and fill us with strength and vitality to fulfill the purposes of our Father.
When faced with increasingly challenging times, we can easily be overwhelmed. Our hearts can faint within us. Our perseverance can fall short. Our faith can cool. But when His Spirit is alive and abiding in us, He will fill us with can-do belief in our ability to overcome.
In fact, Ephesians 3:20-21 assures us that God will do “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think” according to the power that is already working away deep inside us. It is not something beyond our grasp, nothing for which we need to wait. His Spirit is ALREADY at work in us and through us.
The requests that we dare not speak aloud? The dreams that we can scarcely conceive? The plans that we once thought dead? His generosity, His purposes, and His answers exceed our wildest imaginations!
He will strengthen our spirits mightily through His Spirit. He will ground us in His love and fill us to the richest measure with God Himself. That same Spirit will give life and power to us!
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 you be filled to overflowing with the Spirit of the Living God to do mighty exploits for His glory!

Revelation 21:2 - John Hagee Daily Devotional | August-08-2022. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Blessing: Every believer is longing for a place which we have never seen nor visited. Like Abraham, we are looking for a city that was designed and built by God, whose foundations are real and eternal (Hebrews 11:10). One day, we will hear the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant!” and we will walk through gates of pearl on streets of pure gold as transparent as glass. A mansion of splendor prepared by the Architect of the Ages awaits our arrival. The sun and moon have no need to shine, because the glory of God will illuminate the city. The Lamb is its light.
Unlike any city we have ever known, the word “goodbye” has never been spoken there. No tears of sadness have ever been shed. It knows no sorrow, no sickness, and no separation. No hospitals, cancer wards or nursing homes exist there. No suffering or death have darkened its atmosphere.
The redeemed will wear dazzling robes of righteousness and majestic crowns of life, and it will be our deepest honor and greatest joy to cast our crowns at the feet of our Redeemer when we finally see Him face to face. He is the Alpha and Omega, the Bright and Morning Star, worthy of blessing, honor, glory, and power forever and ever!
Today's 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. What a blessed reward awaits those who hold fast to the confession of their faith without wavering! Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

2 Thessalonians 2:7 - John Hagee Daily Devotional | August-06-2022. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.
In a letter written to the Thessalonian believers around AD 51, Paul indicated that the mystery of lawlessness – the spirit of the antichrist – was already at work in their midst. Paul also indicated that there was an opposite and opposing force Who was restraining that antichrist spirit and would continue to do so until He was taken out of the way. The Holy Spirit is the one Who hinders the work of Satan.
As believers in Christ, that same dynamite power – the infilling of the Holy Spirit – dwells in us! He convinces us of God’s truth and righteousness. He convicts us of sin. He comforts us in a world that is unkind and unaccepting. He enables us to be salt and light in this world. He fills us with holy boldness and empowers us to be His witnesses. He speaks God’s Word through us. He appoints us to ministry and gives us gifts to fulfill our calling.
While the Holy Spirit restrains, we must be energetically completing the Father’s work. Now, while it is still day, we have the freedom to work, but Jesus warned that the night would fall when no one would be able to do so (John 9:4). Let us work while we can!
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 you be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish the work of the Father until the day of His return.
