The Living Word For Today - (What Do You See?) Watch!

Good afternoon To The Beloved Children of God

The Living Word For Today -  (What Do You See?) Watch!

Let's look at the news from Hurricane Michael passing through Florida. America the Beautiful sings of "purple mountain majesties," but after deadly Hurricane Michael passed through Florida's panhandle, it was the skies that turned an eerie purple. Reporters and residents shared images of post-storm skies ranging from a light lavender to a deep violet, and it turns out there's a scientific explanation for the unusual hues. Children of God What Do You See ? For me I see the Hand of God showing His Power, His Authority, His Will, His Word and His Way. In other words, the closer we draw to the second coming of Christ, the more urgent it is that we awake out of spiritual sleep! Indeed, we have entered the fearful end-time years that are the grand climax of human civilization. If ever there was a time to pay attention and get prepared, it is now! It's in Romans 13:11, And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. God’s people are to be “people of the Bible (THE GOOD NEWS).” In contrast, most pagan religions emphasize images, idols, symbols and rituals. How important is it that we “watch”? Consider this: The bible commands us to watch several times and with the command to pray. Is prayer important? Extremely so! Also, is the command to watch. Read Matthew 16:2-3, He replied, "When evening comes, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red, and in the morning, Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. You see, God wants His people to zealously read and study, to think and meditate. He wants us to be well-informed regarding the major geopolitical, cultural and spiritual issues and events of our time.The Bible is God’s divine revelation of absolute truth, which is just as relevant today as it ever was. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and Sadducees for their hard-hearted mind-set. If they had not had evil attitudes and had believed the Scriptures, they would have been able to “discern the signs of the times” and to realize the Messiah had come. It's in Matthew 16:1-3, The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said to them, When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O you hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky; but can you not discern the signs of the times? Heavenly Father, you are the author and finisher of our faith in all things. We honor you for all that you are. Lord you know the situation better than we do; We're asking in your infinite mercy to have your way. Let your will be done concerning us daily. I know that you will only give us a burden that you know we can bear. For when the storm has passed, we will continue to praise you for your mercy and unending grace. Help us not to lose hope or to become overwhelmed. Strengthen us to delight in your presence and your wisdom. Let your voice guide us and hold us close to you. You alone, God, are worthy to be praised. Thank you for all the benefits of being an heir to your throne of glory. Thank you for your promises; you shall never leave me nor forsake me. All honor belongs to your Holy Name. Thank you for working it all out, right at this very moment, in Jesus Name. Amen!

Mark 13:35-36, New International Version

King James Bible
Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

The Living Word For Today - Growing In Godliness !

Good morning To The Beloved Children of God

The Living Word For Today - Growing In Godliness !

From the beginning of time, God said let us make mankind in our image and likeness, this also means having the character of God. Amen ! It's in Genesis 1:26 -27, And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. So, been made partakers of the divine nature of God is grace. Let us not overlook this spiritual gift from God, our Heavenly Father. The point is, we cannot begin to grow as believers until we have received new life from God through faith in Jesus Christ. This is the key that unlock the door to joy, kindness, self-control, respect for others, perseverance, obedience and Love by the Spirit of God. Get understanding how can you say that you Love God, but don't Love your brother and sister that's in Christ Jesus ? Two scriptures for growing in Godliness, It's Jesus talking to us now, His Word Change Not. Whenever, God speaks it is always truth. He never changes His mind. He never said anything He wouldn't do or had to take back. His Word is powerful and unchanging .... Read John 13:34-35, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." Also, Romans 12:10, Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. It is the Spirit of Christ in you that gives you the motivation and power to change and grow spiritually. Let's get some understanding, we won’t grow without deliberate discipline and effort. It’s interesting to me that Peter, a man known in the gospels for his impetuosity, here sets forth a deliberate, disciplined approach to spiritual growth. If Peter the impetuous fisherman could become a disciplined, godly man, then we can too. Peter tells us, Because God has imparted new life and spiritual riches to us in Christ, we should be diligent to grow in godliness also. Heavenly Father your promise to us is in Psalm 55:22,Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. We thank you Lord for Your Word of Truth. Amen ! 

Scripture to Meditate on today.

2 Peter 1:5-8, For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ. Amen !

 

The message for the beloved Children of God is -Prayer !

The message for the beloved Children of God is -Prayer !
The Bible offers many principles to aid the process of making decisions that honor God daily. Let us begin with prayer giving God thanks for His Word and another day.  The Word of God tells us to pray in everything. If's in First Thessalonians 5:16-18, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” If we should pray in all situations, we should certainly pray in times of decision-making. As we pray, we should ask for wisdom like in James 1:5, If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. . Wise decisions are informed decisions for us to follow by the Holy Spirit guiding us. It is important to understand what options are available to us by the Word of God. Once the factors are known, options can be further considered and evaluated. Let us seek biblical wisdom first. Some decisions become easy, if there is one clear choice consonant with God’s Word. In Psalm 119:105, it says, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.”  God's Word will lead us on the right path from darkness into His marvelous light. When we follow the teachings of God’s Word, He guides our path and provides knowledge to make wise choices. Amen ! For we are a chosen people, it's in 1Peter 2:9, But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Heavenly Father we thank you for leading us and guiding us by your spirit.  Thank you Lord for your Word.

Scripture to Meditate on today
Matthew 6:9-13, Our Father Which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name.Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

 

The Living Word - The Spirit of Truth ! Part 2

Good morning To The Children of God,

The Living Word - The Spirit of Truth ! Part 2

The Spirit of Truth is God's Word. Amen ! This is Jesus speaking, to the disciples. It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. This is the promise of God, to never leave us, nor forsake us, from His presence. God desires our fellowship with Him. God didn't change His Word, we were created for His Glory. If we let the Holy Spirit do His job, He will lead and guide us on the right path of righteousness. We can read John 16:13, Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. The Spirit of Truth cannot lie. It's in Numbers 23:19-20, God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. Jesus Christ is our hope and the foundation upon which all our desires should be hungry for everyday. Heavenly Father, I go before thy asking you to develop a hunger and a thirst for your presence daily. We're crying out for the wonderful, unlimited goodness that only you can give us. We need more of you and less of ourselves. We know it's critical for us to run this race with Love, joy, peace and wholeness in You Lord. Thank you Lord for another day and Your Word. Amen !
