Encouragement for the Journey

By Tacoma R. Anderson

Welcome to Encouragement for the Journey!

These next few pages are little encouragements through the Word of God. There are songs, thoughts on the scripture of the day, and a prayer for the day. I pray that these snippets of my individual daily walk will bless your spirit the way God touched mine as they came into existence through me simply sharing the Word of the day with my close friends and family. I pray that each prayer and scripture will not only deepen your journey to a deeper relationship with Christ, but that it will also transform your faith into a tree of life full of blessings God has in store just for you!

Welcome to Encouragement for the Journey !

These next few pages is a little encouragement through the Word of God. There are songs, thoughts on the scripture of the day and a prayer for the day. I shared some sermons and prayers that God has given me to speak to his people at different seasons of life. I pray that these snippets of my individual daily walk will bless your spirit the way God touched, healed and delivered my spirit as they were birthed into existence through me simply sharing the Word of the Day with my close friends and family. I pray that each prayer and scripture will not only deepen your journey to a deeper relationship with Christ, I hope it will also transform your mustard seed faith to a tree of life full of the manifested promises and blessings that God has in stored just for you!

This book is dedicated to my son Ahmad Davis, who truly was the reason, I desired to change in my life, that he would not only see the work of God first hand but truly see a life poured out for God in service to his people through living a life through Christ Jesus.

I thank God for every Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, and Teacher of the Word of God, through the leading of the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus, to help me reach this level in my destiny and encouraging me as I continue to seek the wisdom, love and guidance of Christ Jesus to get to the next level and dimension of faith he has in ministry for the Kingdom of God.

Songs of the Day: All for Love—Genita Pugh

Only Believe—Clark Sisters

Word of the Day: Revelation 3:19-21King James Version (KJV)

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Thoughts: We often find ourselves in a place where we have to make that decisions where we will chose a direction in our life, when we hear that voice that is telling us all the good that will happen if we go this way.. did you go that way, did you doubt the things that would happen or did you chose to follow the voice? We are led by the Holy Spirit and we have a peace about those decisions that are in alignment with Gods word. However there are times, when we know what is right and because we doubt or fear, or give into a desire we fall short and then we feel guilty. There is no condemnation in Christ, however he will chasten us or correct us and give us the opportunity to repent with sincerity of heart. God desires to always be in fellowship with you, to walk with you and hear you speak to him, as he speaks to us, but are often too busy to listen. Today we are getting more knocks, will you allow Christ to come in . . . .

Prayer: Lord we thank you for being the God who will sacrifice because you love us, A God who will forgive us, who will provide for us, who will never forsake us, as we have forsaken you, by turning to idols, and making Gods out of cars, people and other objects. Please forgive us, and restore us to communion and fellowship with you on this day. We hear the knocks on the doors of our heart and we are willing to let you in that you may move in our life the way you desire, that you can draw others to you because of our relationship with you and that you can get all the glory that is yours alone from the love, peace and joy you have given us. Thank you for delivering us from the guilt, shame and frustrations in our life, for giving us Power in your Son Jesus name to speak to the mountains and move them by our faith. To be more than conquers in you as we trust and believe and take you at your word that you have given us a life of abundance and life everlasting as long as we trust in you, and seek after you with our whole hearts. Lord make us over anew today in your total image, give us the heart, mind, spirit, wisdom and love of Christ that we will be a living witness just as Christ of your mighty works. In Jesus Name.

Song of the Day: The Storm is Over—Rev Jeff Banks

Word of the Day: Psalm 62:7 KJV

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Thoughts: Isn’t nice to know that your salvation is in God, that he is a source of refuge and strength, his power is never failing and he is always availing in all that is now and is to come, regardless of what life may look like we must always remember that through Christ Jesus we have been restored to our kingdom citizenship and we can go through Christ in prayer and God the Father will answer and meet all that we may need.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for forgiving the sins of our flesh/hearts/mind/eyes. Thank you for your deliverance, and providing us your only son who die for our sins, to reconnect us to your kingdom. Let us take note and always reverence you for the glorious things you have and are doing in our life. Thank you for being the God of our salvation, the redeemer of our souls, and the strength that we need to overcome all the trails, tribulations, sorrows, disappointment, the fear of the unknown, and you continually send your messengers to speak life into the areas where we need strength as we run seeking refuge in only you, the lover of our souls, the healer of our hearts, the true provider of all our needs. Today we just say thank you for the protection, the elevation, the delivery and the peace you have given us to overcome all that seems overwhelming. In Jesus name.

Song of the Day: Worth Fighting For – Brian Courtney Wilson

Word of the Day: Instructions on Worship

1 Timothy 2:1-3 King James Version (KJV)

2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

Thoughts: the Lord left us a method to conduct spiritual battles, it is all through our prayers for others and ourselves, being grateful for those things that are and especially those unanswered prayers that would have led to destruction. God gives us peace, joy and love overflowing. It is up to us if we feel this peace is worth fighting for, the same that Christ felt that our salvation was worth dying for on the cross. We have what we speak into existence, because we were created in God’s image and he spoke and the words perform the things it was sent to do, so does
