My Father’s Presence (Day 10.5)

It’s the last day of study for Breaking Free Updated Edition, as we conclude our workbook lessons today. Beth begins the lesson with her tears and love for each woman participating in the study, Breaking Free. We’re in the Presence of Our Father, we’re Daughters of the King, and we are bathing in freedom. That’s worth my tears too!

Can you feel the Presence of the Father in your life? He has engraved truth into your hearts, mind and soul…His Truth…His Word…His Love.

When you walk in the Presence of the Father, you walk with your eyes centered on Him, your heart centered on Christ and your strength centered on the Word. You walk by faith, not by sight.

May you be blessed in His Presence, reflecting His glory and His love inside you…to everyone that you encounter.

Freed from captivity, may you share your plunder with others and witness His love in you.

Beloved, may you KNOW the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit- as you walk upon this earth in freedom.

Put on your crown, straighten your back, and walk like a Daughter of the King.

Prayer Requests

Read this prayer: 2 Samuel 22:2-4

The LORD is (your name) rock, (your name) fortress and (your name) deliverer; my God is (your name) rock, in whom (your name) takes refuge, (your name) shield and the horn of (your name) salvation. He is (your name) stronghold, (your name) refuge and (your name) savior— from violent men you save (your name). I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies.

And this one: Isaiah 40:28-31

Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Beth Moore Quotes

• When we’re most exhausted, we’ll find we’re expending more energy fighting the enemy than we are seeking God’s presence-Beth Moore
• You’ll never be more beautiful to God than when He can look down and see you hanging on to Him for dear life-Beth Moore
• We never find freedom from bondage in independence. We find it by taking the same handcuffs that once bound us to sin and binding ourselves to the wrist of Christ-Beth Moore

Today’s Scripture Verses

The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1

What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. Philippians 3:8-9

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners, ^[a

to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,

and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.

They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.

Isaiah 61:1-4
