The Living Word For Today - The Divine Truth !

Good morning To The Beloved Children of God
The Living Word For Today - The Divine Truth  !

Jesus Christ is the True Vine, that's the Divine Truth !  The message to His disciples is even though He would not be physically present with us always, He would send the Holy Spirit to be “with” and “in” the believers. It's in John 14:16-17, And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth  him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.  Jesus, uses this opportunity to instruct us to remain in close fellowship with Him, the only True Source of life. Amen ! It's through the power of the Holy Spirit, that we may bear spiritual fruit, receive answers to prayer,  have fullness of joy and love for one another. The Bible is a collection of scriptures to be a product of divine inspiration and a record of the relationship between God and us. There is a estimated total sales of over 5 billion copies of the Bible. Let's get some understanding whomever continue to bear fruit will also continue to grow and prosper spiritually. The Lord will continue to purge us daily, for the branches to bear even more fruit. We understand that branches come directly from the tree. Branches are a part of a tree that grows out from the trunk. Jesus Christ is the source of life unto the branches or the body of Christ. Christ is the Head or "source" of life to the church (the body of Christ).  As children of God, we have Christ in us through God's gift of the Holy Spirit given to every believer. He is in us at all times; and therefore, we are to abide in Him at all times. In Colossians 1:25-27, I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness, the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord's people. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. The Apostle Paul reveals the mystery, "Christ in you" the hope of glory. We need to walk with the Lord in order to abide in Him, and manifest the fruits of the Spirit in our lives. Now,  If a man does not keep himself in me (Jesus), he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned (consumed). Heavenly Father we come before thy boldly to the Throne of Grace. We need more of your spirit and less of ourselves. We're seeking you Lord for direction and wisdom. We need you more today than yesterday. We're desperately crying out for the Holy Spirit to lead us into Truth and Freedom. Thank You Lord for Your Word. Amen !

John 15:4, Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
1 John 2:6, Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
John 15:7, If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

The Living Word For Today - Your Spiritual Nature!

Good morning To The Beloved Children of God

The Living Word For Today - Your Spiritual Nature!

Can people see the God (Light) in you daily or only on Sunday's?  The word of God , in Matthew 5:14-16, uses a metaphor to teach us something very important. In this metaphor, He likens His disciples to light. This is what Jesus says in (NIV) Matthew 5:14-16," You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Now let's get some understanding first, (If) again If, you are a true believer not lukewarm  believer (Revelation 3:16), Jesus is saying that you are the world’s light. What an enormous compliment ! You see, it is said in 1 John 1:5 that ‘God is light.’ Then Jesus says, ‘I am the light of the world’ (John 8:12; 9:5). And here, we find that the believer is ‘the light of the world.’ This means that the disciples should be walking by light (Love). This is not just a compliment. To be identified with God in this way it's an enormous responsibility as well. Because whatever light is and does, the disciple is to be and to do. When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the perfect design of man was destroyed. The Bible also tells us that God created man in his image, in the likeness of God. (Genesis 1:26) When Adam and Eve were created, they were without blemish. They had no shame because they were sinless. (Genesis 2:25)The Bible tells us that “the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” (Genesis 2:7) God created a physical body from the earth and then breathed spirit into it. The spirit gave life to the body and man became a living soul. From that point forward, humans have a spiritual nature with a soul within a physical body. God made us as complete or ‘whole’ beings. Each part of us is intricately interwoven with the other parts in a marvelous way. We are a masterpiece. (Ephesians 2:10) Just as the body itself is a whole unit made up of many parts (1 Corinthians 12:12), our whole self was created to function as a complete unit. The definition of "Wholeness" is the state of being perfectly well in body, soul (mind, will and emotions) and spirit. Complete sanctification and restoration. God’s original design for man before sin entered the world, and now attainable only when one’s body is in heaven after the second coming of Jesus. After the flood, God promised never to destroy the earth again by a flood, and He chose a rainbow, a phenomenon caused by light passing through water, to signify this. During the Exodus, God showed Himself to the Israelites (at night ) as a light-giving pillar of fire, light enough to travel by. In Exodus 25, and elsewhere, the Israelites were commanded to prepare light in the Tabernacle, as part of their worship of God. In 2 Samuel 22, David said: "For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness." (verse 29) Perhaps this is the first time that God's presence and communication with humans is compared to light. In Psalm 27:1, first part, David wrote that "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?" Heavenly Father we thank you for your word and your promises. It doesn't matter what we feel or see our hope is always in Your Word. Amen !

John 8:12, When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
John 1:5, The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

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!

Scripture to Meditate on today
Mark 13:35-36, New International Version
"Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back--whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping.
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 ! 

Scripture to Meditate on today.

John 10:1-2,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.

The Living Word of God - Spirit of Truth !

Let us learn to trust God's Will (His Word) not just having faith and walking by faith, but stepping out on faith. We have to enhance the glory, power, purpose and perfection of God's Word daily. To the believers awake and run your race, endure to the end. We have been giving a mandate by God. For it is written in Matthew 24:12-13, And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Amen !

Good morning to the beloved Children of God,
The Living Word of God - Spirit of Truth !

Let us 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. So, the question today is are you seeking the truth by the Spirit of God? We must seek the truth by God's Word. You see, the Bible teaches that truth isn’t just an abstract idea or philosophical puzzle. Instead, truth is Jesus Christ, to be exact. Jesus said to his disciples, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. The Apostle John, reflecting on the whole of Jesus’ life, wrote, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." In Jesus, the truth took on human nature. Jesus also said, that the written Word of God is truth. It does not merely contain nuggets of truth; it is pure, unchangeable, and inviolable truth that “cannot be broken” for anyone. Understand this is Jesus speaking in John 16:12-13, I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 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. Did you not know that the Holy Spirit rested upon Joseph from his youth to the day of his death, and "guided him into all wisdom.' God don't change, His Word is forevermore. Amen !  Now look at John 10:35...  Jesus, praying to his Heavenly Father on the behalf of His disciples, He said this: “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth,” read John 17:17. Moreover, the Word of God is eternal truth “which lives and abides forever", now read 1 Peter 1:23. Let's study Paul, what can we learn from the life of the apostle Paul? First, we learn that God can save anyone. The remarkable story of Paul repeats itself everyday as sinful, broken people all over the world are transformed by God’s saving grace in Jesus Christ.  God's Word is truth, quick and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword.  In Philippians 1:12–14, Paul wrote from prison, “I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.” Despite his circumstances, Paul praised God and continually shared the Good News. Heavenly Father, I know you have a purpose, plan, also the power to strength us and sustain us. Let us learn to stand firm in the faith and truth of Jesus Christ. Amen !

Scripture to meditate on today

 John 1:1-3, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
