Bible Verse of The Day – 7-5-12

(Exo 4:10 NKJV)  Then Moses said to the LORD, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”

I remember several years ago sharing a message on a Sunday morning entitled “You’re Hired”.

God had shown me how He uses us in the most unlikely ways and the thing that we were least prepared to do in the natural was the “job” that He would hire us for.

Why? Because then He gets the glory, not us. When we accomplish something that we’re not naturally prepared for, there’s no way we can take the credit for it. It all goes to God!

He also showed me that when we aren’t prepped for a certain task, we’re less likely to over-think it and mess it up, as long as we trust Him. It’s trusting in Him that’s the key to accomplishing what He wants us to do.

The last thing Moses wanted was to have to face Pharaoh and demand that he let the Israelites go. He wasn’t fit. He had a speech problem and he wasn’t eloquent. But God used Him anyway and He got all of the glory.

Let God use you in ways that you’re not prepared for. It’s the way He likes it!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-4-12

(Mark 2:3-4 NKJV)  Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. {4} And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.

This story is just one example of the great lengths that people would go to in order to get to Jesus to seek healing, deliverance or forgiveness. They let nothing get in their way.

Today we have it so easy. We have the gospel so easily accessible to us. Sometimes it can make us lazy and cause us to forget how much Jesus is worth in our lives.

Even though we can’t physically touch Him, we still have the same access as the people who walked with Him. In fact, we have more!

He left this earth and passed His authority along to His followers. His death tore the veil that separated us from having direct access to God and after He ascended, the Holy Spirit came to earth to help, guide and comfort us.

We have it all!

Press into Him and receive what it is that you need in order to get your victory!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-3-12

(John 4:42 NKJV)  Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

I was reading this story about a woman that Jesus was talking to. After she spoke with Him, she left and ran back to the people and told them that Jesus had told her everything about herself. They all believed her and ran out to meet Jesus and to see for themselves.

How many of us today are standing and holding on to someone else’s testimony when we share about Christ to others? Are we going after Him ourselves, getting our own testimony?

Let God move in your life today and give you a testimony of your own to share with others.

If you’re not saved, let Him save you. If you need deliverance from addictions, abuse, debt, or any sinful nature let Him do this for you today.

If you need to be loved by someone, let Him love you; let Him fill that emptiness in your heart today so that you too will have a testimony. Let Him become more real to you today and as you share with others, you will share your own experiences with them!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-2-12

(2 Cor 9:7 NKJV)  So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

Being a cheerful giver is something God loves! So, with that in mind we have to purpose or be determined within our hearts that when we give we are going to be happy about it. Giving can be a lot of fun!

One night I had a dream. My husband and I were in this home and we both received a big boulder-sized chunk of gold. We went from room to room and in each room we both would break off a little bit of our gold and give it for whatever need there was in that room.

We were happy and smiling and really having fun!! We went through the whole house, and ended up back in the same room together. We looked down at our hands and in them was not a single piece of gold left. We looked at each other in surprise and thought, “OH NO, we gave it all away!” But, as we both looked up, Jesus was smiling at us and we knew He was happy with our choice.

He then walked us over to the edge of a cliff. There below us were tons of people, so many people, and they were happy to see us. Those people were all the people that we helped through our giving. God was showing us that we would reap from our sowing and that everything was going to be OK.

What we give today is what we will receive from tomorrow. We can’t be stingy or miserable when we give, wishing we could just keep it to gain more for ourselves.

Be a cheerful giver today!!
