Topic: "What the Spies saw!"
Scripture: Deuteronomy 1:19-21(KJV)
19 And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doth give unto us.
21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
March 2025, Devotional Introduction:
For 38 years after Israel had refused to enter Canaan, the Israelites remained in the wilderness of Paran and at Kadesh until the old generation died off.
Then they resumed their journey by a long detour around Edom. Finally, they were encamped in Moab, awaiting final instructions to go over and possess the land God had promised to their fathers.
In the first three chapters of Deuteronomy Moses is giving his address to the people.
This was part of his farewell address as he had been told he would not enter the land with the people.
For Israel however this was still a time of great excitement and a momentous occasion!
You are about to walk into something great. As Israel was preparing to move into the land of promise, spies were sent before them to see what the land contained. As usual there were two reports. One which was negative and brought fear while the other, provided an incentive for trust, and excitement that what God had promised was just a stone’s throw away. Today, whose report will you believe? As for me and my house, I will believe the report of the Lord. You beloved are now ready to walk into your greatness.

Week 1: It's Still Yours!
The land that the Lord had promised Israel was already occupied but that did not mean that the land was not theirs. God was about to do something marvelous through them that would liberate the land into their hands. The latter part of verse 20 says – you have reached the hill country …. Israel went through Egypt, the red sea, and the wilderness to reach the hill country of the land to be possessed. Beloved, you too have gone through a lot to reach the hill country of the blessing which God is giving you. Your job, your house, your car, may currently be occupied, but it is still yours. The car may still be on the lot, but it is still yours. The land already belonged to Israel because they had a promise from God. Likewise, the thing that you have been praying for is already yours even though there is a wall keeping you out. Start getting ready today, because shortly, God will release the answer to your prayers into your hands. Like a great earthquake, there is a shift that is about to occur in your life. Glory to God!

Family & Friends: Your's, Mine, & Ours
Poem Written By: D'Juana Dickens and Sheila Feaster
Dedicated to Mother Elsie Vivian Spencer
God created the first family, their names are Adam and Eve,
But just like in some families, something came in and deceived.
Now I'm going to fast forward to Esther and Mordecai. Now their bond was so strong,
they never left each other's side!
Fruitful and Plenty is what HE asked, if you don't believe me check out Abraham!
Some family & friends are nurturing, some are troublesome.
I don't know how much we can take, but here's a suggestion.
Take on what you can endure.
Pray, pray & pray and let those knees hit the floor.
Put your trust in Jesus only HE can give you more!!
Now I'm going to talk about my family and you know it's something good.
Oh wait, y'all know my family! Y'all understood!
Family & Friends is about love, patience, hurt, pain,
loss, sacrifice, & happiness.
As we get older, we get wiser, but through HIM there's nothing
like the joy of the Lord who always supplies.
NEW SOLID ROCK, FAMILY & FRIENDS DAY...GLORY, HALLELUJAH! This is all I have to say!!

December week 2:
Fear Not
St. Luke 1:29-30 - 29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.
Often times we are intimidated by the size or complexity that can encompass the expression of God’s favor in our lives. You see, whatever God does, he always goes big! It may start out small but when His favor is released upon our life, you can expect great things! Don’t be afraid to try something new, to do things differently as this is the only way you can achieve the desired results! If what you are facing this week is too big for you then it is just right for our God! Don’t fear, don’t back down but meet it head on knowing that the Lord is with you! The love of God is with you! First John 4:18 says: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. You have been called for such a time as this! Live this week in faith and not in fear!!
