The word for today is - Ways !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Ways !

 

Read Isaiah 55:8, For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. How do you find out the ways of the Lord? By reading the word from God, by hearing the word, by studying the word, and praying by the word from God. Discover the Purpose for your life, as you continue your communications with God a time will come when he will tell you the plan He has for your life. This plan will awaken the seed in you completely and you will be given great power to carry the plan out, with the help of the Holy Spirit.This plan will seem so fantastic that you will know that you are incapable of doing it. Remember, if you use God's power, you can do anything with God all things are possible. All you have to do is take one step at a time, you see the Holy Spirit will direct your steps. Read Psalm 119:133, Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.Understand that your steps are order by the word from God,He has a plan for your life.  Please open your Bible to 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. and John 17:3, And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. And read what Jesus said we must do to receive everlasting life. They who walk according to the directions and the knowledge of God will be favoured by him. Read Jeremiah 10:23, O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. So, how do you find this favor ? by following his truth His word, open your heart to Him. Read John 10:27-28, 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. Wow, thats powerful, no one can pluck you out of the hand of God. This means you have security in the kingdom. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The word for today is - Encouragement !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Encouragement !

Lets start with Deuteronomy 31:6, Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. You have to understand that the Lord knows everything about us, He said that He would meet all of our needs. We all need someone or somebody to encourage us. You see everybody needs encouragement now and then, that is why we are to build one another up, to encourage one another in love. Paul gave a good guideline when he wrote that everything we say should build up the one who is listening. Read Ephesians 4:29, Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. You see, everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, and lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there. To serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and to open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count! Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you.  Now get this, The will of God will never take you, where the Spirit of God can not work through you. Nor,where the wisdom of God can not teach you, where the army of God can not protect you, or where the hands of God can not mold you. Everything happens for a purpose. We may not see the wisdom of it all now ,but trust and believe in the Lord, He always work things out for our good. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Glory

Good morning,

The word for today is - Glory !

Now read Psalm 19:1, The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.This has been in my Spirit for two days, the word tells us if you believe you will see the glory of God ( His Power). Many people want to understand the Glory of God with their mind, but they will never get it. God's glory can not be understood in the mind, it must be received in the Spirit. If Moses could see the glory of God, I believe that as a child of God we can see the glory too. In 2 Corinthians 3:18 it says, But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. The Bible also tells us where we can find the knowledge of the glory of God. Read 2 Corinthians 4:6 it says, For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. He has giving us knowledge of His power ! Read John 11:37-41, And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. But if you do not believe then you can not see or understand the things of God. Read Matthew 17:20, And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. The word says nothing is impossible with the power of God, its in His word, speak the word over your life. Read 1Corinthians 10;31,Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. So, whatever you do give God thanks. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Friend !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Friend !

The word "friend" is found about ninety times in the Bible. The Bible says, A man that hath friends must show himself friendly read Proverbs 18: 24,"A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother." Now, some people are too distant to form friendships, you must understand that, there is great value in friendship. You see"two are better than one," it is written in the word from God. Read Ecclesiastes 4:9-10,Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Now get this, read Proverbs 27:17,Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Jesus offers man his friendship, Jesus said in John 15: 14-15,Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Thats powerful, He has made it known to us in the word ! Get this, Proverbs 17:17,A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. The word says at all times, not sometimes! Jesus is the ultimate friend of mankind, you see He died for His friends, read John 15: 13, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  Now get this,Who are you walking with? Is it a true friend? Read Proverbs 13:20, He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. There is a friendship we can learn a lot from in the Old Testament read I Samuel 18:1-4, And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. When David and Jonathan met they became close friends. Their friendship was one of the deepest and closest. Here’s what made it special:They based their friendship on commitment to God, not just each other. They didn’t let anything come between them. They drew closer together when their friendship was tested.They were able to remain friends to the end. Just like David and Jonathan, this is the kind of friendship that Jesus saw that we all need today. He tells us don't walk in darkness, read 1 John 2:9-10,He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. God tells us to walk in love, read John 13:34-35,A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Jesus meant it to include all mankind, even our enemies! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Counsel !

 

The word for today is - Counsel !

 

Lets look at Proverbs 12:15,The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.You see the foolish person thinks that it is okay to do things there way, but God wants His followers to be viewed differently. He wants the world to be able to see those who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, as people of integrity; people who will go the extra mile to do what is right. People who are honest, trustworthy; people who speak with Spiritual Words,who speak healing and kindness. Now read Proverbs 11:14, Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. So,be very mindful of the people who speak things into your life, also the things that people have said about you. Now get this, read Proverbs 10:11, The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. The righteous man speaks like a fountain of living water, continually running and flowing like water, wholesome, reviving, and refreshing. So, the righteous men speaks out of their mouth from the abundance of their heart, it overflows with good things and truth always. The wise gain this wisdom by reading the word, by hearing the word, by meditation on the word from God, by prayer, and by having faith in the word from God. The word from God tells us that good counsel comes from Him. Read Psalm 1:1,Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. This is telling us the characteristic of an righteous person, who always been true in the past, true in the present, and will be true in the future. Did you get that? Always true and never ever changes, in the past, present, or the future. Who do that sound like to you?______! It sounds like God to me,always the same, always speaking the truth,and always looking out for our good. Read Proverbs 19:20-21, Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. So, stand on the counsel of the Lord, His word. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

 

The word for today is - Gospel !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Gospel !

The first question is,what does God's word say about the gospel? God's word tells us that it is God's spirit talking to us and for us. Read 2 Timothy 3:16,All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. Now thats something to be thankful for, His word gives us instruction. What are the instruction? Read Mark 16:15, And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He is saying do as I (the Lord) said, ask no questions. Read Isaiah 55:11, So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. This means it is never spoken in vain, and never fails to produce the effect which he intends. It is the Spirit of God in you, its not you. You have to be a willing vessel for God's word. The word tells us that we should  have a hunger and a thirst for His word. Read Matthew 5:6,Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Did you get that? You should have a strong desire for the word from God. He also tells us to follow Him, in order for us to live, you see some people are walking around  spiritually died.  A lot of people get confused because they don’t understand the difference between spiritual death, and physical death. We know that everyone dies in the flesh regardless of whether they follow Christ or not. So then what does Jesus mean that the one partaking of his flesh will live forever? Clearly, he is not speaking of physical life and death, but rather spiritual life and death. Read John 6:64-67, But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. Wow, Judas did not follow the instruction, from God. Get this,He is our Father we are His children, you see that is love,read Ephesians 5:1,Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children.Also read Ephesians 6:24,Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen! Now we know that a earthly father should always take care our His children. But with our Heavenly Father, He always takes care of His children and gives them the best of everything. Amen ! We have to understand that God's ways are not like mankind,you see man will change on you at anytime,but God his love never ever changes. God is eternal and does not change. Read Hebrews 13:8,Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.The Bible describes God as unchangeable, eternal, immutable always existing. Wow, always! In His word He tells us my word changes not, read Malachi 3:6,For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Christ promises exclusively to those believing in him. Read John 10:28-30,And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Now ask yourself do you have a hunger and a thirst,for the gospel ? The word from God is living water! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !

The word for today is - Different!

Good morning,

The word for today is - Different!

 

Do you ever ask yourself,why do I feel different? Have you ever have the opportunity to meet someone from another culture, you will soon recognize the fact that they think and act differently than you do. Well, as believers, we are supposed to think and act differently than the people of the world. Our new birth and our new nature are all products of heaven. As a result, we are to be heavenly minded. You see, we need to know how to conduct ourselves, the way that the word of God has told us in His word.You see, instead of being partakers of the culture and mind set of this world, we are to attempt to share the culture and mind set of Heaven with this culture. Remember, we are from another world, read John 15:19, If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.. We are literally "ambassadors" from heaven to this world, read 2 Corinthians 5:20, Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.. We are to do all we can to share the culture of our homeland with the earth bound people living around us. We are to show and tell them how the citizens of Heaven live their lives. Since we are citizens of Heaven, we are to avoid living like the citizens of the earth. To answer the question read 1Peter 2:9-12,But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
