The word for today is - Fearfully !

Good morning,
The word for today is -  Fearfully !
 
Everything started with God and everything will end by God, read Jeremiah 1:4-7, Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.Do you not know that you have power from within to overcome somethings? Do you not know the power of God? For He formed our inward parts; He knitted us together, read Psalm 139:13-16,For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. Understand we are his workmanship, created for Himself. Without Him we are nothing, read Ephesians 2:10-13,For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Its by the blood of Jesus that restored us back to Himself.You have been set apart for a good works, read Galatians 1:15-16,But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood. Now read 1 Corinthians 2:10-12,But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.Know this, the Lord said,I made you,I formed you,I have chosen you, run your race. Read Isaiah 44:1-3,Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring. The Spirit of God dwells within us,we are fearfully and wonderfully made by the hand of God!Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !!

The word for today is - Us !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Us !
 
The word of God says, He chose you before you were in your mother's womb, read  (KJV) Ephesians 1:4,According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love. (NIV- For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love).We are a chosen people, read 1 Peter 2:9,But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Father we thank you for calling us out, for giving yourself for us, you set us free from every kind of sin. Read Titus 2:14,Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own, zealous of good works. He did it for us so that we could be restored back to Himself.The word of God says, keep my covenant,obey my word read Hebrews 8:9, Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, says the Lord. In other words He rejected them, He did not care for them, He showed no concern for them, He turned away from them.This covenant is different says the Lord, read Hebrews 8:10,For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.God is bringing about a profound Spiritual change to the people.Therefore prepare yourself, your mind and heart! Thank you for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Life !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Life !
 
The word of God says, I am the bread of life. Read John 6:35,And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst. Jesus says, if you eat this bread you will never be hungry. These statements are significant because they give us an understanding of the relationship we need to have with Jesus inorder for us to live. Jesus said, I am the Bread of Life! Every country in the world has some form of bread, but He and He alone is the bread of life. He is the True bread from heaven, read John 6:32,Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. Do you know or have heard the story about a man name Nicodemus in the bible? Nicodemus came to Jesus at night, He ask  Rabbi (teacher) how can we be born again, read John 3:1-5,There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Wow, thats something to think about today ! Jesus says, let me come in, inorder for you to live. Understand this, He gives life to the dead, we are spiritually dead when we are born. Anyone who is separated from God is described in the Bible as spiritually dead. As long as we remain spiritually dead, we cannot know God. We must be restored back to God, by His Son Jesus. Jesus says, in John 3:6-8,That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.He is the one who grants eternal life to those who believe in him, read John 6:40,And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.This bread is Jesus himself,those who believe in Jesus will have eternal life. Read Matthew 5:6,Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. If you seek Him you will find Him!Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Remembering !

Good morning,
The word for today is -  Remembering !

Do you remember what you did a year ago? Do you remember when we played kickball or tag? Do you remember the fun we had in school? Do you remember what the word of God said, about helping those in need? Do you remember January 12, 2010 the earthquake in Haiti? Lets read Acts 20:35,I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. We must obey the word of God, give something back to the people and the nations.Do you recall that some people in the 60's and the 70's,would always help one another,what happen to us? Its our natural to do all that we want to do in a day, but God always has a plan for His children. Can you remember something about the  60's or 70's that has change for the bad, not for the good? Lets read Galatians 6:1-3,Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.We must stand on the word of God to help the weak, and helpless. Don't let your heart become darken,let you light shine? Read  Romans 1:21-23,Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Remember this, God is the fountain of happiness, and no intelligent creature can be happy but through him. Are you rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus? Our natural tendency is to neglect those practices that keep our relationship with God at the forefront of our hearts and minds. The first command,have no other gods before Him,read Exodus 20:3,You shall have no other gods before me. In other words you should not worshipped anyone or anything ,but God! Read Revelation 2:4,Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Some people,have walked away from their first Love! Remember,the word of God, Love one another read John 13:34, A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. Remember, Our Lord has commanded us, to Love Him,Love one another, and Love our enemies! The two greatest commandments is in Matthew 22:37-40, Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Studying !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Studying !
 
Read 2 Timothy 3:16-17,All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.The Bible was written that we might have a clearer picture of God, who He is and His desire for us to know Him. Lets get some understanding first,this is Jesus talking to us read John 13:15-19,For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. In other words the Scriptures will be fulfilled, Jesus says my word is truth and life, we are spiritually died.We must live by God's standards, read 2 Corinthians 4:10-14,Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.So then death worketh in us, but life in you.We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.This is why we must study to know, I will not die, but instead, I will live. Speak over yourself the word of God, declare and proclaim the word for your life,ead  Psalm 118:17,I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.Also,read Psalm 40:5,Many, O Lord my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us: they cannot be recounted in order unto you: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.This is the love of God for us, His word says, don't be foolish, read 1 Corinthians 3:17-18,If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.The word of God says, study the Bible.Why? Read 2 Timothy 2:14-15,Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Wow! Approved unto God, not yourself or man! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Me !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Me ! 
The only way to know if we are growing spiritually is to know what spiritual maturity looks like. Paul said that we are to imitate him as he imitated Christ. Read 1 Corinthians 11:1-3,Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. .In other words, Christ is the perfect expression of what it means to grow to maturity in the Lord. We will never be perfect in this life as He was when He walked the earth, but to set our standards any lower is to guarantee that we will not grow as we ought to.The word of God says, Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ! Jesus says, if anyone follow me he must deny himself , read  Matthew 16:24,Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.Then Jesus says, if you don't deny yourself your not one of His disciple, read Luke 14:27,And whosoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.This is something to think about today, who are you following? True believers are to obey the laws of man as long as they do not conflict with God's higher laws. Read Romans 13:1-2,Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The words for today is : For -others !! ( Jesus' prayed for others )

Good morning,
The words for today is : For -others !! ( Jesus' prayed for others )
Early this morning the Spirit is saying, pray, pray for one another.Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane for his disciples ,read Matthew 26:36- 45,Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me." Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done." When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. What did Jesus do? Jesus' prayer for His disciples, readJohn 17:1- 26,After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began."I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name --the name you gave me --so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled."I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified."My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. "Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them." Thats true Love. Lets pray together!  Jesus, we thank you for praying for us and teaching us how to pray.. Amen !!!!!!

The word for today - Humility!

Good morning,
The word for today - Humility!
 
Humility is said to be the quality or a certain characteristic that has been given to a person who is known to be humble in nature.A person who is humble in nature is said to be a genuine person who is modest in his approach to every thing, some one who doesn't think very high of himself.Read Matthew 5:5-9,Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.  Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.The Bible says that humility leads to wisdom, with a focus on submitting to God rather than building up ones own ego.The Bible warns against false humility, which is really about making yourself look impressive to other people but has nothing to do with building a relationship with God.God can tell the difference between true humility and the pretense of humility.True humility focuses upon God, not upon impressing other people with self-imposed rules to make others believe that you are humble. The Bible goes into detail about false humility in  Colossians 2:16-23. The Bible points out that false humility focuses upon non-spiritual notions and unnecessary regulations that add no value to a relationship with God or with others.A humble person is willing to inconvenience himself in order to help others. He is willing to forego his own desires so other people can receive what they need.The Bible tells us that humility honors others rather than ourselves: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves", Philippians 2:3. Humility involves being submissive to others rather than just doing whatever you want to do: "Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another...",1 Peter 5:5-6.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Togetherness !

The word for today is - Togetherness !
 
Walking in togetherness is walking in oneness, with Jesus Christ, read Deuteronomy 5:33,Ye shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess. We need to do our best to walk by the Spirit of love. We should make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit in us daily, read Ephesians 4:1-6,I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;One Lord, one faith, one baptism,One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Father forgive us for not walking by your word. Thank you for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Faithful !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Faithful !
 
Our God is faithful to His word, if He said it, its done! Are you committed to someone or something? Read Hebrews 10:22-24,Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:The Lord of Host is calling out to you; to stay faithful, to stay committed, to stay the course, to work the plan, and to keep your mind and heart pure. Is your heart right? We must continue the path he has set for us despite the bumps in the road. We must finish strong in Him. To do this, we must eliminate all seeds of doubt by becoming solidly rooted in the confidence that God is Faithful! We must act decisively on misgiving by recalling the Lord's past faithfulness.We must remember His promises by meditating on his Word. We grow our faith through his word daily, read Psalm 41:12 it tells us that the Father is always present with his Children. If God being for you, who can be against you?Do not worry, I AM with thy. Read  Isaiah 41:10, Fear not; for I am with you: be not dismayed; for I am your God: I will strengthen you; yea, I will help you; yea, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Where is your faithfulness? Is your hope in God or of this world? Read Lamentations 3:22-24,It is of the Lords mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.The word says,"He will never leave you nor forsake you,"read Deuteronomy 31:6,Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD your God, he it is that does go with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is -Unlimited !

Good morning,
The word for today is -Unlimited !
 
Lets look at the conversation between Jesus and a rich ruler. A rich young man coming to Jesus asking Him a question,“what good things should, I do to inherit eternal life." Jesus declares that only the Father in heaven is good. After the young man failed twice to acknowledge his self-righteousness, Jesus continued to try to expose the sin in his heart. First, the young man was not as blameless as he thought he was because he was guilty of loving himself and his possessions more than his neighbor, (which was a broken commandment ), and second, he lacked true faith which requires an unparalleled devotion to Jesus. The young man asked, “What am I still lacking?” Read Matthew 19:20,The young man said unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? This is when Jesus called over His disciples to teach them a lesson. Jesus said, read Matthew 19:24,And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.The disciple’s response was, “Then who can be saved?” or, “Then how is it possible for anyone to be qualified to enter the kingdom of God"? Understand this, It is impossible for man to save himself by his own merits, or for the law to grant eternal life. Jesus replied,With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible! God can take the things that are impossible to man, and make them possible, because His power is unlimited, while ours ( MANKIND ) is limited. In other words,we are to be strong in the mighty power of God. This means that our strength is not our own power; it is not human or fleshly, its Spiritual.Read Ephesians 6:10-12,Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Our strength is not of this world, but our strength is found in Christ Jesus.There is no other source that gives man the strength to overcome the world with its trials, its temptations, and death. It is through submission to God’s strength that we overcome the power of Satan. God knows every single thing that is about to happen, read Psalm 139:1-5, O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. We thank you Lord for your power that dwells within us!  God is unlimited , He does whatever He chooses, anytime He chooses! We serve a big and powerful, and all knowing God. All we can do is to believe and trust what God has declared in His Word . Read Psalm 135:5-6, For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. The plan of God will be fulfilled, God made a way when the way was impossible for Us! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Steps!

Good morning,
The word for today is - Steps!

The Lord has order us to walk by the Spirit of God. Read Deuteronomy 10:12-13,And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good? Can you sense that your life is progressing and you are maturing into Christ's likeness? Or do circumstances and character traits seem to hold you back? God promises to continue making His children beautiful throughout their lives. You can resist Him or cooperate with His gracious work in you.You must be aware daily of His involvement in your life.How? By spending time in the Word, prayer, and meditation, you will become sensitive to what He is doing and saying to you! In other words, prepare for what He will do because of your confidence in His promises. We must pray to Our Heavenly Father daily, inorder to move in the right direction.Are you going the wrong way, or backward instead of forward? Do you know how to turn around?The bible speaks of walking in the Spirit, and by the Spirit of God, in God's ways, in love, and in truth. Let the Holy Spirit lead you! Ask, God for help, read Psalm 119:133,Order my steps in your word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Time !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Time !
 
Jesus says, the time has come, what did He mean? By this He meant ,I will pour out my Spirit on the believers. Read John 7:39,(But this spoke he of the Spirit, whom they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)He was talking about the Holy Ghost being sent down to His people from heaven. Jesus was not yet glorified. Jesus had not yet ascended to heaven,to the glory and honor that awaited him there. It was a part of the arrangement in the work of redemption that the influences of the Holy Spirit should descend after the death of Jesus. We have so much to be thankful for, we can live now inorder to face tomorrow, because He lives in us, read John 20:22,And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, Receive you the Holy Spirit. Thank you for the  breath of life. He made us new again, in order to be properly qualified for the work to which he had called us to do. Thank you for your word. Amen !

The word for today is -Ear!


Good morning,
The word for today is -Ear!
 
How do you find answers to your questions? Where do you go to have your problems solved and questions answered? The answer should be,to God in prayer! We need to go, to the source, God Himself. He not only has the answer, He is the answer,He is the one who created us.You may have heard people say, that the Bible is just a book written by men! The Bible itself claims to be God's Word speaking to us. He knows your past and  future,read 2 Timothy 3:16-17, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.We have a better understanding now, we know that scripture is given to us and for us by God,through humans. Now lets read Revelation 3:22,He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches. Jesus is knocking at your door, will you let Him in?The word of God warnings us and directions us. Jesus said in John 10:26-28,But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. Do you have a ear to hear? Understand this,a man plans his life,but God directs our steps, read Proverbs 16:9,A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.The word says your steps are order by the Lord, read Psalm 37:23,The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. The bible reminds us that God is the light out of darkness, He provides direction,the Bible wasn't written to us, but for us to open our eyes.Read Isaiah 42:5-9,Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. This is the Lord speaking to us! We once were blind, but now we can see,read John 9:25,He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or not, I know not: one thing I know, that, though I was blind, now I see.We are know longer of darkness ( the believers), read Ephesians 5:8,For you were once darkness, but now are you light in the Lord: walk as children of light. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Last !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Last !
  
The bible is very clear there are those who will be first , read  Matthew 19:30,But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. For many are called (invited), but few chosen, read Matthew 22:14, For many are called, but few are chosen. The Bible contains the subject of election and predestination, some people are chosen to be first. Understand this is the will of God, read Ephesians 1:4-6,According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.The Bible teaches us that God knows all. This means that God knows everything.  The Bible is very clear about this, He is omniscient,read 1 John 3:20,For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. God knew you, before you were born, read Jeremiah 1:5, Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations. Also,read Romans 8:29-30,For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. You are chosen by God to be first. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Weather !

Good morning,The word for today is -  Weather !
 
Lets think about the earthquakes of South East Asia, and those of Haiti, and Chile, and most recently Philadelphia, those of New Zealand, and North East Japan,ask yourself what is behind all of this?Is this all just coincidence? Or are these things coming to pass as they were foretold in Bible prophecies? Did you know that the many troubles our world faces today were specifically foretold in the pages of the Holy Bible? Lets look at the promise of His coming or return, the Lord will come as a thief in the night, read 2 Peter 3:1-10,This second epistle, beloved,I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.Understand,God is in fully control of everything.Man and satan is limited by God, read Job 2:6,And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.We are now approaching that time, and these things are now being revealed to us for a purpose.The word of God has giving us instructions,watch and pray,read Luke 21:36,Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.Also read Revelation 3:10,Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. The good news for the believer we are safe, read John 3:16,For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.Thank you Lord ! Jesus Christ gave a series of signs that must occur before He returns.The believers in Christ will be rescued from what is coming. The Bible promises all those who put their trust in Jesus Christ will be exempt from 'the hour of trial that is coming upon the whole world' there shall be two men one taken and one left,read Matthew 24:40,Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Storms !

Good morning,  The word for today is - Storms !
 
We can not control everything around us, but God is in control of everything! Maybe you’re going through one of life’s storms and you just can not understand why. God doesn’t expect you to understand it all. But, He wants you to trust in His goodness and greatness and believe that He can cause something good to happen out of a bad situation. Understand this, the storms of life can make us bitter or better.The storms of life are beyond our understanding. If we do not know our real purpose in life; our reason for existing, life is very meaningless.Yet,God created each of us with a special purpose in mind.Having trouble in this life is not the issue, how we react to it is the real issue.What we face in this world will either break us or make us strong. There are only two motivating factors in life: fear or faith. When the storms of life come you must speak the word of God to the storm,read Jeremiah 20:11, But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. Walk by faith,not fear! Understand that the Lord is with thy,read Romans 8:31,What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? In other words nothing can overtake you, Amen ! It can come and will come, declares the Lord,but it will not stay read Jeremiah 1:19,And they shall fight against you; but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you, says the Lord, to deliver you. The Lord says, everything is going to be alright. we must believe in God's word. We must trust Him, just as Daniel did. Daniel was put in a lions den,when taken up out of the den, no wounds made by the lions, Why? Because he believed in God and His word, he served and worshipped him in the storm. Read Ephesians 1:11-12,In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.Can you worship Him in your storm? Read Proverbs 16:4,The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. In the end, God will give you peace and joy, He knows the end and the beginning, Even what’s going to happen in the future to come. God is omniscient or all-knowing, He sees every move we make, He knows the innermost thoughts of our hearts and He even knows what we are going to say before we say it or do it.We can have confidence in Him and in His promises, not only for peace in this life, but an eternity of joy in the life to come.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Perseverance !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Perseverance !
 
As a child growing up, the older people in your life would always say,"Never give up!"you can be anything you put your mind to. In the Bible there are many examples of those whose patience characterized their walk with God,Job whose "perseverance was rewarded " and Abraham,waited patiently and “received what was promised.” So when we face trials in life, understand that it is our faith that is being tested.The word of God says, count it as joy don't worry, read James 1:1-4,James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.If you have faith, all things are possible for you, Jesus said if a person believes in Him,its done read,Matthew 17:20,And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say unto this mountain, Remove from here to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.Now get this, read 2 Thessalonians 3:13,But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.Jesus is our model in all things, and He demonstrated patient endurance: “Who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” This world is filled with people that have not heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we have to share the good news with others. People are looking for something to hold on to. We have to share our faith, how can we keep our mouths closed? Lets keep oneness with Christ, serve Him with all of your heart, mind and Spirit. We are on earth, created for a purpose. God has prepared in us a good work, read Ephesians 2:9-12,Not of works, lest any man should boast.For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world. Are you sitting down of your faith? We have been ordained by God, not man, move forward. Our father in heaven we seek you for strength, read 1 Chronicles 16:10-11,Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. Remain steadfast and unmoved in God read James 1:12,Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. He will give you perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Healed !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Healed !

Whose report do you believe? Read Romans 10:16,But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?I hope and pray that it is the report of the Lord.This is Jesus talking to the Father,read Isaiah 53:1-6,Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.This verse is very clear,all have not obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ.Jesus took the twelve disciples aside and said, Listen to me, everything that I have told you will be fulfilled. Read Luke 18:31,Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. Jesus Christ suffer for you and I, and then He enter into his glory.If God before you,nothing can overtake you, read Romans 8:29-32,For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?We must depend on God's word.Lets look at Moses.Moses knew that man lives, not by bread alone, but by every word of God, read Deuteronomy 8:3,And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is -Running !

Good morning,
The word for today is -Running !

Your in a race everyday of your life, read Isaiah 40:30-31,Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Ask yourself are you running to win? Lets think about this are we in the right race? Let's make sure that we are running the right race! Read 1 Corinthians 9:24-25,Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. Everyday people are seeking to be rich, the question is this,are you rich by the world standards or God's? In other words rich with money or rich in the Spirit? We are in a Spiritual race,1 Timothy 4:8-10,For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. Read Ephesians 1:18-21,The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.  Are you running the right way? So, we should be running to Jesus, read Matthew 11:28,Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Agree!

The word for today is - Agree!
 
What's in your Spirit TODAY? This is in my Spirit today, just hold on to God and everything will be alright ! Can you touch and agree with me today? The Spirit of God is with us and dwelling in us,Read Matthew 18:19,Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth concerning anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven. We must have the same mindset, about things. This mindset is talking about the things of God, His will. His will is His word.If God said it, its done, Amen !Thank you Lord for your Holy Ghost power and your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Together !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Together !
 
Let us pray together, let us stand together and let us walk together for Christ Jesus.Prayer is our direct line with our Heaven Father. Prayer is a communication process that allows us to talk to God! He wants us to communicate with Him. Jesus Christ is our model for intercessory prayer. An intercessor is one who takes the place of another or pleads another's case. Jesus stands before God and sinful mankind, read 1 Timothy 2:5,For there is one God, and one mediator (intercessor) between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.Jesus brings sinful man and a righteous God together at the place of the blood sacrifice for sin.Jesus was an intercessor while He was here on earth. No longer is the blood of animals necessary as it was in the Old Testament. We can now approach God on the basis of the blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross of Calvary for the remission of sins. Because of the blood of Jesus, we can approach God boldly without timidity, read Hebrews 4:14-16,Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.We thank you Jesus for your blood shed on Calvary. God works significantly through the prayers of His people. Jesus always prayed to the Heavenly Father.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Divine !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Divine !

He has Risen,He Lives! Because He lives we can face tomorrow! Declare with your mouth, “He lives,” and "believe in your heart that the Redeemer liveth",read Romans 10:9-10,That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. The divine lives in Us! Read 1 Corinthians 12:13,For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. You must declare the truth, He lives, it sets you free from sin.The Bible is a divine revelation of God's word, read Psalm 33:11-13,The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. Paul commanded the Christians in Corinth to examine themselves, read 2 Corinthians 13:1-6,This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare: Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. We are to subject ourselves to a critical self examination. Our beliefs and practices must be “in the faith”, meaning according to God’s will.The Bible speaks with absolute assurance, why? Because the bible is the inerrant Word of the Living God, read 2 Timothy 3:16-17,All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Getting understanding of the shedding of the blood,  without the shedding of the blood there is no remission, read Hebrews 9:21-23,Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. Father, we thank you for your Son Jesus, He layed down His live for us, he did it for you and me, read Romans 3:8-11,And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. God ,sent his one and only Son Jesus Christ, to take away the sins of the world once and for all. The sacrifice of Jesus' life on the cross paid the price for the sins of all mankind. His spilled blood and torn flesh bring life to those who accept Him as Saviour.Thank you for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Within !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Within !
 
Now when He (Jesus) was asked by the Pharisees, when will the kingdom of God would come? The Gospel of Luke tells us,Luke 17:20-21,And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. So, lets get some understanding, what ever is in you, will come out of you, If it is Spiritual or of the world. The Spirit of life or death is within us all. Jesus told this same group of Pharisees that rejected him, read John 8:44,Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.Who is your Father? Is it Our Heavenly Father or the devil? Do you not know that your body don't belong to you? Read 1 Corinthians 3:15-18,If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.We have to look to the cross, Jesus' resurrection proves that there is life after death. This earthly body is not the end, there is much more awaits us. None of us knows the end, but we have a promise from God's word that He has prepare a place for us with Him.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Understanding !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Understanding !
 
Let us get some understanding of what took place,some men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees they came looking for Jesus, when He first spoke,“Who is it you want?”they did not hear Him, ( I AM HE) read  John 18:1-15,When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest. Understand this He did it for us! As you reflect on the crucifixion this weekend bow down and give Him thanks! As we draw nearer to the One who layed down for us,He died for our sins,He endured so much for us.The geatest Love that anyone can have for another! Thank you Lord for your Love for Us! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Blood !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Blood !
 
God loves us so much that, he made a way for us to be saved and to know him. He sent us, His Only Son,  Jesus Christ. The Lord came here as a man in order to pay for our sins by His blood. The blood of Jesus is the atonement for our sins,He did it for us ( the believers)! Read Mark 14:23-25, And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to take away the sins of the world once and for all. He is the greatest sacrifice that came to earth in the fullness of time. The blood of Jesus has the power to cleanse men from both the guilt and power of sin and it purges us all the way down to our very consciences. The blood of Jesus is the blood of the everlasting covenant. The blood it saves us for eternity, it delivers us from sin, it purges our consciences, it gives us power. Power to overcome anything,read Leviticus 17:10-11,And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Israel continually offered the blood of sacrificed beasts, but the blood of beasts could not take away sins. Now read,Hebrews 10:3-6, But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure,that is why they had to keep sacrificing them. But, with Jesus Christ it take one time, and it was done. The price has been payed, read Hebrews 10:10-12, By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. The blood justifies us before a holy God,the blood redeems us,and the blood brought us back into our relationship with God. Lets get some understanding of the precious blood of Christ and the power of the blood.There was a price against us that we could not pay, but the blood of Jesus redeemed us. Read 1 Peter 1:18-21,Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. Thank you Lord for your word.Amen !

The word for today is - Worship !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Worship !
 
The word of God says,worship no other god's! The word of God says, you should not bow down to another, read Exodus 20:5-6,Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. The command of God is to seek Him first, read Matthew 6:33,But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. The Spirit of God is calling, Come to me my words are life and truth, it is free, read Revelation 22:17-19,And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. We can only worship God from the inside out. Jesus said that true worshippers will worship God in spirit, it is absolutely imperative that we understand what that means.Jesus also said that the true worshipper will worship God in truth. There can be no doubt, that this means that acceptable worship will be circumscribed by the precepts of God's word. When Jesus prayed to the Father on the night of His betrayal, He said in John 17:17,Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. From the very beginning of time God has revealed His will concerning the kind of worship that He will accept from His creation, and He has repeatedly judged those who failed to worship Him according to His word. Therefore, the only way that we can acceptably worship God today is to worship Him according to His word. We must worship God only! Not men, read Acts 10:25-26,And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.Or idols,read 1 John 5:20-22, And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. When we come to truly understand what it really means to worship....God....with our spirits....in truth, above everything else God will be pleased, and that is the most important thing, but our lives will also be transformed. May God help us all to be the true worshippers who will worship in spirit and in truth. For it is wriiten to worship God only, read Matthew 4:10,Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Journey !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Journey !
 
This is Holy week, are you on your journey to the cross? Do you not know when Jesus walked to the cross you ( the believers) did also? You have been crucified with Christ ! This walk with Jesus to the cross is a journey that you take, just you and Him.Your learn to rely on Him with all your heart. We can not hang onto this life, because this life is temporary, God’s Word is eternal. Read 2 Corinthians 4:18,While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. We have to allow ourselves to be crucified daily. Jesus tells us that he is the only way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through him. That means that our Savior Jesus Christ, is the only way to the Father there is no other way to the Father. Jesus suffered, died, and was buried and rose on the third day. Christ defeated death and rose and ascended into Heaven. Jesus was mocked, beaten, spit on, and badly mistreated and died for Us! How can we not love Him for all he has done for us? Awake and get to know want this week is truely all about, its Spiritual. When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place,read Acts 2:1,And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. Wow ! Focus on your Spiritually life,not your physically life, because this physical life here on earth will one day pass away,read Luke 21:33,Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself, read Matthew 16:24,Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. And He also said,anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me, read Matthew 10:38,And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me..Are you one of His disciple? Now this is Jesus talking,read Luke 14:27,And whosoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Holy !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Holy !
 
What comes to your mind when you hear,The Precious Lamb Of God ?  You should be thinking, Holy,Holy Spirit, Savior, Master, Light, Jesus Christ, our Lord , and must more! He walked the earth giving the gift of life to mankind, showing and teaching us how to live a holy life. Nothing is to big or hard for God. God can mend broken hearts, He can mend broken lives. God can mend broken people back together. No matter what is breaking your heart today, look to God the healer of all diseases and the healer of broken hearts. Remember, this too shall pass.The word of God says, I know the plans I have for you, read Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. God gives you a life with a future and with hope! This life on earth is temporary,one day we will spend eternity with him (the Lord). What an amazing hope this is! But for now while we live here on earth we need to seek after God and wait for God's perfect timing, its the plan of God, nothing just happens! God's sees everything that is going on, read Proverbs 15:3,The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. The Spirit of God says, come unto me, I will give you rest, read Matthew 11:28-29,Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Are you looking for a way out?  Jesus says, I am the way, read John 14:6, Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. Also, read Romans 10:9,That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Truth !

Good morning,
The word for today is -  Truth !
 
When you know the truth about God's love for us, it will change everything in your life. God's love is unconditionally, read 1 John 4:13-19,Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 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. We love him, because he first loved us. Lets get some understanding of the freedom that we have, know more bondage, we are free! The bible is very clear, read John 8:35-36, And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Stop trying so hard to measure up on the outside, God is working from the inside out. Also, stop trying to measure up to some standard that pleases people in order to be accepted. The truth is you can never measure up to good standards with everybody. Are you trying to win the approval of men, or of God? You can not earn your way into heaven, thats a foolish way of thinking. Jesus said , the Holy Spirit would always lead us (the believers),read John 14:26 But the Comforter, who is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. The bible says, if you are looking for the favor of men you are not one of Christ's servants, read Galatians 1:10, For do I now seek the favor of men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.The word tells us to be strong in the Lord,read 1 Corinthians 16:13, Watch, stand fast in the faith, be men, be strong. Everything starts with Him and will end within Him. The truth is God created everything that is, read John 1:3, All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. God is the beginning and the end, read Revelation 1:8, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty!  The great I AM !  We have assurance in Him,whom the Son has set free is free indeed. Its done ! And we will know the truth, read John 8:32,And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
