The message for the beloved children of God - Reading the Word Daily !

Do you read your text messages and your e-mail everyday? Now, let me ask you one of the most important question of your life. How much time do you read the word of God____? How much time do you spend with God talking and listening? Read Joshua 1:8,This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Spending quality time with God is so important, He wants to have a relationship with us. If you really believe God hears your prayers and you know what the Bible says, you can do anything with Christ Jesus.The Scriptures say, 'People need more than bread for their life; they must feed on every word of God." We need to read the word of God daily,we also need to understand it and apply it to our lives. Always keep in mind that the Bible is one book in sixty-six parts, and it contains a number of truths and principles, taught over and over again in a variety of ways and circumstances. We need to spend time reading the Word of God to learn about God and the instructions to live by. 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. Inspiration means the Bible truly is the Word of God and makes the Bible unique among all other books. Studying, Scripture without allowing it to penetrate to the depths of your soul would be like preparing a banquet without eating it.There are two essential ingredients for spending time with God: One is the Spirit of God speaking to us and the Word of Truth for us. Jesus said, that He will teach us and guide us. Read Psalm 32:8-9, I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. Heavenly Father, let us put aside time with you daily. Let us learn to study your word day and night. We need more of you and less of ourselves. Finally,let us be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

Heavenly Father, let us be thankful for the little things in our lives, and also we are thankful for the big things. Let us walk by the Spirit of Love for our lives. For we are a blessed people, and a blessed nation. Thank you Lord for the freedom of grace that we have to worship you and speak of your goodness. Thank you for, forgiving us for our sins, and loving us. Read Colossians 3:13-15, Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - Given Back!

Thanksgiving is approaching and we are reminded to be thankful for the life God has given us and to love one another. This is the season to Give Thanks and Help the Least Among Us. Let us be generous to others this season. The word of God tell us to bear one another's burdens, are you pasting the test? God will test you,do not refuse to help others? Read Matthew 25:35-40,For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. The Lord allows difficulty for a reason,even when we don’t understand why, we are called to do a good work unto the Lord. Read Romans 8:28,And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Therefore, submit yourself to the Father, thank Him for His wisdom, and be confident that He will accomplish His purpose for us. Our Lord has given us directions,He has spoken, read Acts 20:34-36,Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 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. And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. Let us pray together, Heavenly Father, let us have a better outlook of this season. It is not about us, it is all about you Lord, we will past the test. Help us to move forward and keep our minds on the things above. Let us remember your word, that it is more blessed to give than to receive. We submit to you Lord for your plan and will ! Let us be a blessing to someone else this season.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God - Wisdom !

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - Wisdom !

Let us start by reading Proverbs 3:19-20, The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. Wow, that is very powerful! The great God meticulously created and governs all oceans, springs, and the water cycle, and His infinite wisdom, understanding, and knowledge are clearly displayed in them.This natural illustration of how the Lord created and rules water, Solomon exalted the importance of three things wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. Observing the water cycle exalts the glory of God and the importance of true knowledge. God is willing to share His wisdom with those who will humble themselves before Him and ask for wisdom. Read Proverbs 24:1-4,Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Let us humble ourselves before the Creator and pursue the wisdom and knowledge of His Word with all our heart. Learn to trust God's word, always look to Him for directions, He will lead and guide you. Read Proverbs 3:5-7, Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. God promises wisdom to those who seek and ask for wisdom, it is beyond us. Read James 1:4-6,But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. Heavenly Father, let us get understanding first. Let us not be tossed to and fro,we will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. God is true to us by His word, let us be true to Him. When we need any answers to a question we will go to the book of Proverbs. We are asking for wisdom today Lord. We know that the book of Proverbs has the key to the treasure of wisdom. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God - A guardian angel !

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - A guardian angel !

Psalm 91:1-11, says,He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.This means sickness and disease will not come near your house, provided you dwell in the secret place of the Most High, and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. This passage goes on to say in verse 11: For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. Everyone of us has a guardian angel. How awesome is that? That angels has been keeping you, from harm. Notice that verse 11 says you have angels, plural. Not only do you have angels, but the Bible says God will give His angels charge over you. This means He commissions them to mount guard over you. Heavenly Father, we thank you for our guardian angel. We thank you for your love for us. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The weekend message for the beloved children of God - Thankful for Everything !

The weekend message for the beloved children of God - Thankful for Everything !

The word of God says, Give God Thanks for everything! Is your heart thankful today for what God has done? Who started your day? Put a name on the line,____ started your day! The first principle is that God is the source of everything that is! We need to Thank Him, for all that He has done for us, for we have the victory in Christ Jesus. For we have done nothing on our own. Read Romans 7:22-25,For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. We have to learn to give God thanks everyday. The first word that should come out of your mouth in the morning is Thank You Lord. When we pray ,thank you Lord, when we complete anything, thank you, when we go through good times and bad times thank you, always giving Him Thanks! This is very difficult to hear, but before you start your prayer, is your mind and heart right? We need to ask the Lord to Create in us first a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us. Ask the Lord to have mercy upon us, O God, according to thy lovingkindness. God says, through Paul to be thankful in all things. Don't worry about people or tomorrow, God is in control, He knows everything. Read Psalm 100:4, Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Let us praise His Holy Name, forever and forever. When we look back over our lives we can truly say, we are a blessed people, we can see the hand of God working. There's so much to be Thankful For today. For one the saving grace of Jesus Christ at the cross, Without the shedding of the blood of Jesus, is no remission for sin, two the breath of life,God, formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, third the gift of the Holy Spirit, who leads us and guides us through life and into the truth. And the spirit and the Bride says, Come, whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. God has giving us the living water, and we are Thankful ! Heavenly Father, we come to your throne with thanksgiving in our hearts. We praise your Holy Name, we give you all the glory and honor for all you have done. As the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like you Lord. Be thankful and give thanks, it says in Colossians 3:15, And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God - Endure to the end!

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - Endure to the end!

If we would partake of the Prize set before us, we must remember the words of Jesus: When Jesus said, in Matthew 24:13, But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. What do you think that means? The need for endurance in the believers life is crucial. Endurance is one of the things God requires of His children, a matter of fact, He demands it. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Whether we are aware or not, a continual warfare is taking place in the heavenlies. Endurance, by the very sense of the term, implies the necessity of opposition. Run your race that is set before you,"To him that overcome", understand that there must be obstacles to overcome, if we are to win the prize in Christ Jesus! Read Hebrews 12:1-3,Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.These things we must learn to lay aside and move forward. We must abide by the rules of the competition, In God's kingdom. Heavenly Father, we abide by your word. Help us Holy Spirit to have an impact in someone's life today by your word. We will stand on your word all the days of our lives. We seek to please you Lord. Jesus said in Proverbs 8:17, I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. We love you Lord and seek you daily. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God - Streams of living water!

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - Streams of living water!

Jesus spoke of living waters in two vivid passages of scripture. He first spoke of it while conversing with the woman at the well in Samaria. Read John 4:13-15, Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. Here Jesus says, the living water he provides is eternal life. Jesus spoke again of living waters. The Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water, in John 7:37-39, In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)Here the emphasis is on the living water becoming a source of life from within the one who drinks it. Living water is used throughout scripture to represent other things which give or promote life. But, as we shall see, living water means something completely different when we look ahead to the time of Christ’s return. God Himself is compared with a fountain of living waters. Read Jeremiah 2:13, For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.The Bible has a lot to say about "water" in it's natural state. In the natural we see water all around us, we drink it,and we wash in it. But with the living water from Jesus, we will be like a spring of water that won't run dry. Read Revelation 21:5-6,And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. We are told that those who endure and remain faithful until the end during the great tribulation will receive a very special privilege: They will serve God day and night before His throne, in His temple. We are told that their robes will be made white by being washed in the blood of the Lamb, meaning that they will be made righteous by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father, we thank you for this living water, we are thirsty for you. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God - Power from within Us !

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - Power from within Us !

Read Ephesians 6:10-11,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. We cannot stand along, we need the power of the Holy Ghost from within us. The believers need to get some insight of who we are. We have been adopted by God and are now His children.The Bible tells us about the rewards in heaven that includes wealth forever, understand that we have been given an inheritance here on earth also! Read Psalm 23:1- 6,The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Read that again! The first verse says,The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.That means no lack in God's children, He will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.This verse is very powerful, when you understand that God has a plan for your life. You will learn to walk with the power that is within you, have no fear, God is with you. It also tells us that our cup is running over, that is more than enough. Understand Jesus didn't give His disciples small blessings, it was always more than enough. We need to learn how to pray for bigger and greater things from above. Do you know the name Jehovah Jireh? One of the names of our God is Jehovah Jireh, which means “the all-providing One”. He provides more than enough for His children. Do you know the power that dwells within you? All things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible by God for His plan. Let us be strong in the Lord and walk by faith. Heavenly Father, we seek more of you and less of ourselves. Now say Romans 15:13,Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God - Paid with a Price-the Blood!

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - Paid with a Price-the Blood!

Christ Has Paid Our Penalty, with His Blood. Read Romans 5:6-10, For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Christ went through much suffering for our sins. It is beyond our imagination what he endured. He paid the price for you and me at the cross! Crucifixion on a cross is the most cruel form of torture that has ever been devised by man, there is nothing worse. Lets look at the four characteristics of Redemption, Bondage,Redeemer, Ransom, and Freedom. Freedom is what we have in Christ Jesus. Read Galatians 5:1, Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. The price paid by the redeemer secures our freedom in Christ Jesus. Read Galatians 3:13-14, Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Jesus Christ paid for our redemption by the shedding of His blood. Redemption is the act of buying something back, or paying a price to return something to your possession. Read Ephesians 1:7-9,In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself. Heavenly Father, we thank you for paying the ultimate price for us. For we were bought at a price, by your One and Only Son Jesus. Jesus thought we were worth the price. We thank you ! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The weekend message for the beloved children of God - Relying on the Holy Ghost !

Good morning,

The weekend message for the beloved children of God - Relying on the Holy Ghost !

Understand when you are a child of God, He will answer your cry. In one of those dark places in my life, I cried out to the Lord, help me understand? You must know that the Lord hears my cries and answers me, everytime. When my husband died nine years ago, I cried out why? The spirit of God spoke to me and said, Sheila, He belongs to me, He was ready, his work was done. I cried out forgive me Lord, this is your will ! The Bible tells us to be prepared for many things, including death, trials and tribulations , worship, judgment and the coming of the Lord. None of us know what is ahead for us in this life. We cannot wait until we face difficulties, troubles, tragedies, temptations, misunderstanding, sickness and even death to know our response. We must trust Him (Jesus) and His word. Who do you rely on for answers? Jesus tells the Disciples that the Holy Spirit will come and teach them what they will need to know. Read John 14:26, But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, 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. Jesus tells the Disciples that, instead of being with them, He would be in them. He also told them that the Holy Spirit would be both their Counselor and Instructor to take away all their doubts, He would lead them and guide them to truth. Who is leading you? Awake from sleeping, the time is now, the Lord will come like a thief in the night. Do not rely on your works or wealth and riches, rely on the Word of God. Read Titus 3:5-7, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Heavenly Father, thank you for Your One and Only Son Jesus. We were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to our flesh, we are know longer asleep, we are awake, seeking your face daily. We need more of you Lord and less of ourselves. The Holy Ghost is our helper,we rely on Him ! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God - Dying to Self !

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - Dying to Self !

Dying to self, how? By prayer and fasting, by hearing from God. We must humble ourselves first and seek the face of God for directions. Read 2 Chronicles 7:14, If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. The key is, if you will humble yourself to the will of God. We must decrease, so God can increase in us, we are spiritually died from birth, we must live again in Christ Jesus. Dying to self daily is what Paul spoke of so often. It is how we walk by the "Spirit" and not by the "flesh" as we are instructed by God. Understand that it is the spirit of God that dwells within us to daily. Read Galatians 2:20, I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. We all know that if a door is locked we must have a key to open it. The key to living a victorious life in Christ lies in you waking up each morning and making the conscious choice to die to self and allow Christ to control your life. Understand this, we need daily cleansing ! Heavenly Father, help us to get understanding of your word. The spirit of the Lord is with me, I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

Good morning, The message for the beloved children of God - I am blessed ! I was reading my daily devotional last night after dinner and something stood out to me. Something more difficult to learn, present pain = later gain, think about that, its very powerful. Thank you Holy Spirit for speaking to me! Speak over yourself, every morning, when you get up, believe that it is the day that the Lord has made for you. If the devil is attacking you in any area, tell God, “Heavenly Father, I will not allow the devil to rob me of anything". Read Psalm 118:24,This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Start the day expecting it to be loaded with the benefits that God has prepared just for you. Nothing just happens, God is in control of everything, know that this is the will of God for your life.The word says, God always work things out for our good, to the believers. We have to understand that God knows the end, before He started the beginning, trust Him. You cannot make anything happen, it is the power of God that moves within us. God will move heaven and earth to show us His will, He knows what is best for us. 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. Are you blessed? Yes, because I'm a child of God, you can say, you are blessed because the Lord brought you from complete and total darkness to light. Do you know about the power in the blood? Divine love, divine faith, divine peace, divine wisdom and knowledge, plain paths, miracles and healings are all in the blood; I am blessed. Liberty and the freedom of Jesus are in the blood; I am blessed. Are you blessed because of something you have done? No ! Or are you blessed because of what Jesus Christ has done for you? Yes ! At night, when it is time to sleep, know that you will be blessed when you get up in the morning because there will be another load of benefits from your heavenly Father, who so loves you unconditionally, waiting for you! I am blessed to know Jesus as a personal friend, a personal Savior, as someone more special to me than anyone else is. Heavenly Father thank you for blessing us over and over again. Thank you Lord for your unconditional love. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God- Meditation !

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God- Meditation !

Read Joshua 1:8,This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. What is meditation? Meditation means a concentrated state of mind in serious reflection. Meditation is a function of the mind and the heart. It is what we think about in our hearts and it is something we do every day. I know that you have heard you are what you eat. Meditate on this today, did you know that you are what you eat, not what you would like to be, nor what you ought to be, nor are you what you used to be. Today, the 'real you' is shown by what you do and by what you think about in your heart what you meditate on. What we should be thinking about is developing a deeper relationship with God. Read Romans 15:4, For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. The question is , what is in your heart, is it acceptable to God? Read Psalm 19:14, Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Heavenly Father, let us learn to meditate on your word daily. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God- Trusting God's Word ?

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God- Trusting God's Word ?

Read Proverbs 3:4-6, So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. In this world we will have trials and tribulations, but God has the last word. Some people have asked me this question,why or what is the purpose of God allowing trials and tribulations in our lives? We have to understand that God works through trials and tribulations, we must learn to put our trust in His Word. The believers footsteps are establishes by the Lord. Read Proverbs 16:9, A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. Jesus Christ died as our substitute paying the penalty for our sins, He is asking us by an act of our will to trust Him as our personal Savior. We know that for those who love God all things work together for our good. Not only does God have a set plan and a set future for our lives, He is in control of everything. Read Jeremiah 29:11-14, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the Lord : and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord ; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. Nothing just happens! We have to get to know Him and trust His word, trust God to lead you on the path to peace and serenity. This is a daily walk, we must trust Him (God) in hard times and good times. In our daily lives, we need to believe that when we go through hard times, the result will be good and better for us in the end. But when we're hurting, probably one of the most challenging things for us to remember is that God is going to work it out for our good, trust Him. Let us not fail the test of time, we cannot do it ourselves. Read Romans 12:2, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. We need to be transformed in our minds and heart, the plan of God is forever, nothing can stop the plan of God. Read Psalm 33:11,The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Jesus endured the cross because He knew what was waiting on the other side of it. In our daily lives, we are going to have to endure some things, and we're going to face some hard times and good times. But the only way to do it is to go through it, and trust His Word. Heavenly Father thank you for your love for us. Where would we be without you Lord? To find the keys to life is trusting in you Lord and your will. The real key to life is discovering how to be thankful in the good times and the bad times. Let us keep our focus on you Lord at the cross, no matter what we go through. We know that you are at work in every situation that we face. And your bigger then anything and anyone that comes up against us! Your word says, "We have the victory" in you Lord. In 1 Corinthians 15:57, But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The weekend message for the beloved children of God - The Voice of God !

Read Revelation 3:22, He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.You do understand that we are the church, the church is not the building. When the New Testament talks about the Church, it speaks of an assembly of people (the believers). When Jesus said, in Matthew 16:18, And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. He was saying the Church, His chosen people, would not die out. It would be alive, a warm and caring body of believers striving to serve God, doing His will and supporting each other. There are four keys to the voice of God that we need, one is hearing His voice, second is knowing His voice, and third is listening to His voice and the greatest is following His voice for directions. "Don't let any impersonating voice mislead you, or your own overactive imagination." We have to get to know the voice of God by His word, we must study His word daily. Understand that God speaks to us through His word to our hearts. Jesus always prayed to His Heavenly Father, read John 12:27-28, Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. We need to ask the Holy Spirit , what is your will for me today Lord? Discerning the voice of God is something we need to do everyday, we are His servants. Read Isaiah 42:1-2, Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.Our minds can be prompted by God, from our own carnal desires, or from unclean spirits. Some ignore this and naively believe that anything they think or feel is from God, without humility or reflection. Understand that we must know the truth, and the truth has set us free from lies and deceit. Some people's problem is lack of knowledge, we need not to be double-minded people. Read Romans 7:21-23, I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Asking is how we begin a conversation with God, Father help us to know your voice? Then we ask the Lord to speak to us, and then we refuse to do what God tells us to do! The word of God says, obey is better than sacrifice. Read Matthew 21:28-31, But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. Do you not know that your in a race daily? Are you running away from God or running to God? Do not deceive yourselves are you listen? Read John 10:1-5, 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. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. Heavenly Father, we need to hear from you everyday. We need to spend more time with you everyday, forgive us Lord. Let us always put you first in our lives, we seek first the kingdom of God and your righteousness. No one and nothing comes before you Lord. Amen ! We are your sheep and we know your voice, thank you Lord for making away for us to return back to you. Do you hear Him calling your name_____? Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The message for the beloved children of God- Who is leading you?

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God- Who is leading you?

Who is leading you, is the question? You do know that there are two spirits ? One is of light (good) and the other is of darkness (evil). The bible says that those led by the spirit of God are the sons of God. The bible says there are two types of spirit beings, the unfallen, holy angels, and the angels that followed Satan in his rebellion. Understand that the two spirits are opposed to each other. Read Galatians 5:17, For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would. We should have the desire to do what is good and true. Read Romans 8:14-17, For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. The Holy Spirit will reveal the truth to His children. Understand that the "natural man" cannot understand the bible without the leading of the Holy Spirit. To the natural man the word of God is foolishness to him or her. The Holy Spirit revealed Himself to the Apostles and Prophets. And He will reveal Himself to you also! Are you willing to be led by the Spirit? Then walk in the Spirit by heeding His Word and praying that the Father strengthen you by His Spirit in the inner man! Heavenly Father help us to walk by your spirit. Let us keep our eyes on you Lord. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God- Encouraging one Another !

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God- Encouraging one Another !

Is there anyone in your life that lifts your spirits and gives you encouragement? The bible says to encourage one another and build one another up daily. Read 1 Thessalonians 5:11,Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. Sometimes we get worn down that we could use a little encouragement to keep us going. We are called to encourage one another regularly so that we don’t slough off and fall. Even when others fail to encourage us or are unavailable to encourage us, God and His Word are available and sufficient to encourage us. Let us stay in the Word to encourage ourselves so that we can be an encouragement to others. Your test today is to speak an encouraging word to others and over yourself. Heavenly Father help us to stay in your word to encourage one another.Thank you Lord for your word.  

The message for the beloved children of God - Gratitude!

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - Gratitude!

How much time do you take to read your email, watch football, the news, or movies? I know some people may think that the message is long, but we all need to hear from the word of God. So, take sometime out for our Lord and Savior daily, grow in grace, and in the knowledge of Him. Im not sorry for the word, but Im sorry if it is to much for you to think about in one day. Are you a person that is grateful __? Do you know anyone that is ungrateful__? Some people take your kindness for your weakness, this is not the spirit of God, it is the spirit of darkness. Do you know want gratitude means? Gratitude means,the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. It means to thank someone for something, for doing something on the behalf of another. Always giving God thanks first for all that He has done for us should be daily. Gratitude starts in the heart, not the mind, what is in your heart? I was reading yesterday the story of the ten lepers, they stood at a distance, crying out to Jesus, " Master, have mercy on us"! Understand this Jesus heard their cry: He told them, "Go show yourselves to the priests." The lepers obeyed Jesus, only the priest could declare them to be clean.They were healed, Jesus was watching them celebrating. But something happen, one man returns back to Jesus to give Him thanks.When he saw that he was healed, he came back to Jesus, shouting, "Praise God!" He fell face down on the ground at Jesus feet, thanking Him for what He had done. Jesus asked, " Didn't I healed ten men? Where are the other nine? Understand that the nine was too self-centered, to give thanks onto God for His faithfulness. It has been said, we cannot control our circumstances, but we can control our attitudes. Im talking about being kind to someone and the other person being disrespectful. The art of thanksgiving is one of the most important skills a human being can develop. There is another reason to be thankful for our blessings it is the flow of even more blessings coming our way. Sadly, I believe most of us are somewhat lacking in this area. Read Matthew 7:12,Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Acknowledging the big and small wonders of life are the keys to spiritual growth. Read 1 Thessalonians 5:17-19, Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. This one man had been made into a new creature in Christ Jesus, old things had past away. This man was graceful for what the Lord had done for Him. We all need to be graceful daily, weather happy or sad, weather rich or poor ! Heavenly Father, help us to grow in our everyday walk by Your Spirit Lord in Love and Truth. For, we are thankful for your one and only Son Jesus Christ. Let us be wise people and learn from you Lord. Let us begin each day in the spirit of Gratitude! "Be grateful for what you have, not regretful for what you haven't." Wake up with the spirit of Love, not hate. Pray for one another to be renewed by the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved children of God - What have you done for Me (Lord)?

Good morning,

The message for the beloved children of God - What have you done for Me (Lord)?

Do you not know that we are servants of the Lord? The Bible has a great deal to say about servanthood because the central theme of the Bible is to be an Servant. True leadership is servanthood, and the greatest leader of all time is Jesus Christ, He came to serve! Ask yourself are you greater then the great I AM? The answer to the question is NO !! Read Mark 10:43-45, But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Get some understanding about this verse, Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve ! We are here to do the will of God first, that is what Jesus did. Serving others is the very essence of ministry! We need to be renewed in our hearts and minds. The word of God says, in Philippians 2:3-7,Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. Can you lay aside yourself and follow Jesus Christ? Jesus said, For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done. Read John 12:25-26, He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. If we turn back to the Word of God, we can find our way out of the cultural confusion and into the clarity of the mind of God. Ask yourself this question, when you see the Lord face to face, will He say, Well done,my good and faithful servant ? Let us have the same spirit like Paul. Paul thoughts was first of all, as a "servant of Christ", not of mankind. Paul understood that God did not call him to be creative but obedient, not innovative but faithful. Read Galatians 1:10, For do I now persuade 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 most important quality of a good steward is faithfulness, trustworthiness. God supplies His Word, His Spirit, His gifts, and His power, and He calls His stewards to administer those resources faithfully. Heavenly Father, let us your beloved children learn to be faithful and true to your word. Let us learn to always put others before ourselves. Let us walk by the spirit of love and truth. We must always seek to please you first! We have been called to do a good work unto you Lord. We walk by faith not by sight. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
