Hi Brian!

The word for this week is "violent". We'll be looking at this verse:

Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize — a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion]. AMP

This is the Greek word "biastes". Strong's Concordance says: a forcer, energetic. Thayer's Greek Lexicon says: strong, forceful, using force. The Theological Dictionary adds: brave. I LOVE the Amplified Bible for this verse! There should be nothing passive about our attitude toward study of the Word of God because within is everything we need to walk in power, health, prosperity, success, favor, anointing and Wisdom. My word list says that we have used this word before but I couldn't  find where so I am possibly repeating this, but it IS the leading I had for this week. So as you continue in what you have already been doing, be excited about the results you have to look forward to because I have found that though God is rarely early, He is never late! I believe that so many more good, Godly, powerful, and amazing blessings of favor are headed your way in the coming months! Here, to encourage you in this, is an older song from UNITED called "Wonder":

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys
