Daily Devotions:
by Christina Farris

Micah 2:1-13 KJV
1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
4 In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
6 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
7 O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8 Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
9 The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11 If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
13 The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.

The thief that steal God's sheep will be destroyed, and will not be allowed to gather anymore of God's people. The evil of false prophets that tell lies and rumors only to destroy, will be done away in the time of Micah, the time of Ahaz the King, the prophecy concerning the destruction of false prophets. When God's word comes to knowledge of the people of God no matter Jew, or Christian, God is able to begin to straighten his people out. He begins to take the falseness of the word of God that is spread and beings to clean the heart of man, woman and child. God's word when it comes, it comes with mercy and grace and even his wrath on the judgment of false prophets. God does not have to destroy a false prophet physically to show his power, He only has to bring them to their knees. In Revelations he cast them into hell. Prophets that only preach for money and greed, are those that seek only their own ego as well.

The point being God is going to deliver his people/sheep with his word and free them from bondage into the fields of labor. God's people will know his power inside their pen by the destruction of false prophets. The destruction coming only because people follow those that divide God's people and do not for care of the sheep. The movement of health and wealth is still in our land, trying to control even our churches. A good pastor knows that wealth of the Lord is not about riches seen with the naked eye, but the wealth of God's word and knowledge of salvation first.

If God is allowing the enemy to divide a church it is for a purpose. It is a weeding time and teaching time of the people. A weeding time because the devil can not get a steady footing, no keep the flock interested in his antiques anymore. Children are blind and mothers are lost because God's word is no longer in the homes of the people. To see people learning to worship God together as families, is only a reminder, how these things must be taught, in the since of structure of the church prayer and small group settings. Means parents have to learn to help their children to participate in family worship. To teach them just a simple stories of God's word. Teaching older Kids how to use their Bible to look up scripture and to research scripture for themselves. Remember when you went to the library at school and they sat you down and taught you how to find a book with the card catalog, and now it all on computer. Well how does one search scripture, how do you compare verses? True they are still learning, how do you read a chapter and break it down to understand it.

Ministers make mistakes in pulpits, and sometimes we misinterprete scripture, but what does God's Holy Spirit do but straighten us all out. To where we can worship in unison and learn his ways and direction through obedience to him. God wants to separate his people and free them to help others. A true sheep does not come through a closed door or window but stops, talks to you and shares and even sometime teaches the word right on the street. One way is through compassion. The other day I seen two strangers walking with the huges suitcase in the world. We have a two seater vehicle, so it hard to pick up anyone else. I went back in our vehicle to see if they had found a ride or needed a cell phone to call someone, and they were gone.

What I seen what two people with a load of weight. In the world there are people carrying load of sin, with no place to set it down, or have a home. Home is heaven, and the baggage all carry is sin. Yet heaven is not yet for many of us, and so we travel either carrying a weight of sin, or we are carrying only our cross for Jesus. The Bible is a lot easy to carry in this world then a load of guilt and sin. Our cross is light when we lay our sin down for we carry the testimony how Jesus set us free.

God wants to do two things give us a lighter burden and release our shackles of our house of false prophets who seek to destroy our nation and our people. Have you done research to find out that this virus is deadly because of complications. Many of us get sick with many things only to recover, but that one time we can't fight back is when complication arises. The theft wants to enter your home to control you, To enter your home to destroy you. It has found a way to control you. It is easy to sit in front of a computer or tv screen and do nothing. It is easy to find phones and idle things that are no importance to anyone. Yet do these things bring people closer or cause them to want to be left alone more. Is everyone in your house in separate corners, or are they still playing games, and telling stories of things they have done. Are people still learning? This free time can either be a curse or a sunny vacation with rain, flooding, and all kinds of weather to boot. But truth it matters not, have we found ways to worship God as a family, or to get along because those within the walls are so similiar it is borings.

Why do Americans run in circles all over the United states in different directions, because we all have different interest and we enjoy taking our interesting and putting them together with other interest. God likes taking his people putting them in his house and helping his people to be more creative. Well he allowed the enemy to divide us and now people are finding more creative ways to be in ministry around the world. That is God's power. God is freeing you to share his love and hope and the ability to do it with your own creativity. God is not going to lock his people away forever, but the enemy is going to be destroyed, but he will rise again until the return of Christ. This will be a marker in our history of God's power truly shown.

Dear Heavenly Father, move in your people to share your word, give them hope, peace, and love in their new adventure. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study: John 10:1-11 KJV
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
