Leap of Faith
Trusting God is a lifelong journey. Don’t travel alone.
A Devotional Moment
Proverbs 27:2 Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips.
Lord, do not allow vanity, pride, or arrogance to settle in the hearts of your people.
You bless us with skills, talent, and gifts. They can be put to use in creative ways to glorify you. It’s ok to be grateful and love what we possess. However, bragging is not necessary. It can beget arrogance.
Others will see the blessings you have placed on our lives. It is for us to be encouraged and grateful for the credit, honor, or compliments given. Leave pride out of it.
I pray we use what you have blessed us with to honor you, giving it the best that we have to offer. May you receive all the praise, honor, and glory, from it. In the name of Jesus, amen.

THE ROOT
A Study of the Word
“Haters of Peace”
Psalm 120:1-7 NLT
[1] I took my troubles to the LORD; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
[2] Rescue me, O LORD, from liars and from all deceitful people.
[3] O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment?
[4] You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals.
[5] How I suffer in far-off Meshech. It pains me to live in distant Kedar.
[6] I am tired of living among people who hate peace.
[7] I search for peace; but when I speak of peace, they want war!
Verse 6 stood out immediately because there are a lot of people that we are around who doesn’t like peace.
If they can’t be in the war zone, chaos, drama, they are not satisfied.
Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
The Lord let the disciples know what to expect. Sent them forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. We know that sheep entering the territory, the company of wolves, those wolves will tear the sheep apart.
In reality, they will kill them and eat them. Metaphorically, a child of God going out among the unsaved, chaotic, demonic souls will be like them as wolves coming for the attack.
The Lord told his disciples to be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves.
That means when we, his workers, and those of us who are his children need to be on the alert. We need to be wise and not allow ourselves to be pulled into the fray of chaos, drama, fights, violence. Whichever direction it appears to go, we are to use wisdom and not fall into the trap. Get pulled into anything that resembles malice, hate, envy.
Titus 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
No matter how hard you try to ignore it, there will be some people who will try in every way possible to pull you into their damaged character and drama. Can you imagine what those individuals who hated peace did to provoke war?
There is something wrong with the spirit of such people. When we pray for deliverance for ourselves, we definitely need to add them to the list.
🟢Psalms 120:1
I took my troubles to the LORD; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
For us who desire the help of the Lord’s hand in our lives. He listens when we call.
If we have any fault within us he will remove it when we ask him. Not everyone wants deliverance, some want to keep that demonic spirit wound round their spirit.
🟢Psalms 120:2
Rescue me, O LORD, from liars and from all deceitful people.
Psalm 52:2-4 NLT
[2] All day long you plot destruction. Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor; you're an expert at telling lies.
[3] You love evil more than good and lies more than truth.
[4] You love to destroy others with your words, you liar!
🟢Psalms 120:3 O deceptive tongue, what will God do to you? How will he increase your punishment?
Matthew 16:26
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
🟢Psalms 120:4 You will be pierced with sharp arrows and burned with glowing coals.
👇🏽
James 3:5-8
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Psalms 120:5 How I suffer in far-off Meshech. It pains me to live in distant Kedar.
🟢Psa 120:7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.
They are speaking of war in this verse. I wanted to draw these verses out because there are many times domestic conflict and violence start in the same way. Because of people who do not have the spirit of God in them.
People who can’t stand for there to be peace, there always has to be conflict because that is who that person is in character and spirit.The same is true to the group who feeds off of violence. There is no good that will come from that.
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Romans 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Psalms 34:14Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Hebrews 12:14
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
My closing prayer:
Lord it can be a challenge to be around
A contentious person- those who
tend to argue, causes strife; and controversy.
Such people are haters of peace and in larger groups, cause wars to breakout.
This prayer is for those who are your servants.
I pray off the demonic spirit that tries to bring about disorder and chaos. I place the one who is contentious into your hands. In the name of Jesus, amen.

A Pouring Out of Living Water
John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst;
but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Living water is the eternal flow of God's spirit. He says he is the fountain of living water in
Jeremiah 2:13 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Jeremiah 17:13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Thirst: a sensation of dryness in the mouth and throat caused by need of liquid.The physical condition resulting from this need, strong or eager desire; craving: That strong, eager desire can occur in the physical for need of liquid to quench our thirst. It is also a spiritual need that needs quenching in our spirit.Drink: take in liquid, consume Receive the spirit of God, he is the source, fountain of eternal life-living water.
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Revelation 21:6 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.Water: Water is Liquid, transparent in color, odorless and makes up lakes, rivers, oceans. Consider the movement of water- it flows, it can flow gently or in the movement of waves.
The focus is not the liquid, but the movement of the liquid water- it can flow gently or in movement of waves. It’s the movement.
Described as the flow or movement of waves, the flow of the spirit of God within you is felt physically in the body as your spirit is filled up with him.
Revelation 22:17 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Drink: take in liquid, consume.Receive the spirit of God, he is the source, fountain of eternal life-living water
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
Revelation 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
This living water comes from God. He is the source, the fountain, It is for you, me, and anyone who desires to have him in our lives. when you invite him in your heart and life, he will come.He makes it available because it is his desire that no one perish. As it states in John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Invitation to meet Christ our Lord
For anyone reading this who has not asked the Lord Jesus into your heart
This is your opportunity. Ask him into your heart and life, confess your sins to him, ask his forgiveness. Make every effort from this day forward to turn away from sin. This is the act of repentance. God will meet you where you are.
If you are in the midst of sin; treat your vessel (body) wrong using substances that alter your mind, emotions, and behavior, you are in sexual immorality, corruption, or any combination of these or other forms of sin. Don’t put it off, as we are not promised tomorrow.
Come as you are. Listen, you weren’t feeling ashamed or embarrassed while you werecommitting the act, don’t allow those hindering spirits to stop you now.
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Matthew 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Whatever the sin, you and God have always been present during those times. It is you and him now, alone together as you read this. He stands with open arms.
John 7:3 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
