Bible Verse of The Day – 10-19-19

John 16:24 (NKJV) 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

Why do we not ask? Are we afraid of rejection, even from our Lord?

Some of us have faced rejection so much in our lives that even asking our heavenly Father for anything is a challenge for us. We are afraid of what we might not get.

Today, know that God is not like those who have rejected us, for whatever reason, in the past.

He is God, our Father, and in the name of His Son Jesus, we can approach Him and ask for whatever we need. And in return, if it is good for us, He wants us to have it and be full of joy!

Don’t let our fear of rejection hold us back from the things that God wants to bless us with. Ask today and receive! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-18-19

Nehemiah 4:6 (NKJV) 6 So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.

Nehemiah had seen the terrible state of Jerusalem. The city was in ruins, and its protective wall had also been destroyed.

Because of this, his heart was broken and he wanted to fix it.

Nehemiah was only one man, but God had given him a vision for what needed to be done, so he set about gathering the people to help him get it done.

Things weren’t easy for Nehemiah. He had plenty of opposition in a man named Sanballat.

Nehemiah 4:1 (NKJV) 4 But it so happened, when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, that he was furious and very indignant, and mocked the Jews.

The opposition became so strong that Nehemiah and his men actually worked with swords in one hand and the tools needed to rebuild the wall in the other hand.

But Nehemiah and his men stayed strong, pushed through the opposition and, with perseverance and determination, they rebuilt the entire wall.

You see, when God plants a vision in us, we will have what it takes to make it happen, even if it means pushing back our opposition and getting others to help with it.

Having God backing us doesn’t mean that it will all happen easily, with no opposition.

On the contrary, when God is doing something, the opposition will sometimes grow stronger. But God will always lead us and equip us, even surrounding us with those He wants to help us.

It’s up to us to hold fast to God, push back against our enemies and follow God as He leads us to victory.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-17-19

Psalm 63:1 (NKJV) 1 O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.

Look around today. How hard is it to find people that are truly happy?

How easy is it to find someone suffering?

How hard is it to find or make time to be with someone we love?

How costly it is to live these days?

And how perverted things have become?

We need more of God’s presence in our nations. We may see Him in some places, but most places are filled with anger, hunger, lust, self-centeredness and utter chaos.

Oh, how we thirst for Him in this place called earth!

Deuteronomy 13:4 (NKJV) 4 You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him.

Seek Him and hold dear to Him. Shine His light bright on the land in which we live. He is our God! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-16-19

James 4:14 (NKJV) 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

What is life? And what’s it really all about anyway?

These are two questions that get asked more than we realize, every second of every day, by people from all walks of life, around the entire world.

Every one of us has probably pondered on this more than once. It’s part of a built-in desire that longs for satisfaction in our lives.

It’s this very same desire that causes us to chase after so many things, hoping that the next thing will be “the one”.

But they never are. They are never that thing that satisfies us and fulfills us.

Even Solomon in all of his wisdom and understanding wrestled with this.

To this day there is no one who can rival the wealth and fame of Solomon. Even thousands of years ago, when information was spread solely by word of mouth, his fame spread to places worldwide.

People traveled for days and weeks at a time to come meet with him because of his reputation. Yet, as Solomon pondered life, he deduced that it was all vanity and grasping for the wind.

Ecclesiastes 1:14 (NKJV) 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

So, if all of this is vanity and grasping for the wind, and none of it satisfies, then what is life really all about? Where can we find true satisfaction?

We can only find true satisfaction in The One, the Creator of us all and everything around us. He will fulfill us. He will satisfy us.

It’s up to us to pursue Him, instead of all the things of the world that leave us constantly empty and searching for more.

1 John 2:16 (NKJV) 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

His love goes beyond anything we can imagine or comprehend. Let’s stop grasping for the wind. Reach, instead, for Him.

Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-15-19

Psalm 35:1 (NKJV) 1 Plead my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me; Fight against those who fight against me.

When we are being fought against aggressively it can wear us out. We can lose our joy. And when that happens, we can get hard on the inside and weak at trying to keep the right outlook on things.

This message today is for those who are in a battle, whether at work, in the home, at school, in their church, or in a spiritual battle of some kind.

It’s at times like this that we can lose sight and say the wrong thing or make the wrong moves. Because of our loss of strength, fatigue has set in and we just want it to be over.

But it’s at times like this that we need to pull back, hold our actions and our tongue from doing or saying the wrong thing, and let God go before us. He will fight for us and protect us in such a battle.

Find our rest in Him, even in a trying time such as this.

Psalm 9:10 (NKJV) 10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-14-19

1 John 2:3 (NKJV) 3 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

Have you ever questioned whether you really know God or not?

Most of us do this from time to time for various reasons. It can be good to check ourselves and make sure we’re on the right path, so to speak.

But sometimes we might wrestle with this in the sense that we think we have no sure way to know. While that might seem true, there actually is a way to know!

The verse above tells us that we will know that we know Him if we keep His commandments.

And in verse 5, we are reassured that if we keep His word then we are “in Him”.

1 John 2:5 (NKJV) 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.

The thing to remember is that none of us will be perfect in our pursuit of Him.

We may make some poor choices from time to time that make us feel terrible. These things may cause us to question our sincerity in our relationship with Him.

While this might be frustrating for us, it also might be good for us to see where we really are. After all, we can’t make corrections if we don’t see where our heart truly lies.

On the positive side, the fact that we would even be bothered by doing the wrong thing tells us that our heart wants to do right.

Most times it’s just a matter of figuring out where it is that we keep slipping and falling, and then making adjustments that help us stop doing that thing over and over again.

God’s word tells us that He is faithful to help us resist temptation if we truly want to do the right thing.

He also tells us that if we seek Him with all our heart, we will find Him.

So, let’s be faithful and diligent to seek Him, listen for His voice and then do what he shows us to do.

Amen!

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of Jesus! 

Have you ever stopped to consider the importance of the time that Jesus spent in the wilderness, away from others? 

In our new video, Disconnected, we talk about the importance of pulling away from all of the things that pull on us and vie for our time. It’s not always easy to do, but it’s essential in so many ways. 

We hope the video will speak to you. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Remember to disconnect. Our walk with God depends on it. 

Enjoy your day!

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-12-19

Matthew 22:37 (NKJV) 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

Are we looking for love in the wrong places?

Look to God first. His love will satisfy our every need. He is the One that knows how to love us best. He has loved us right from the beginning!

He is so passionate about us. He wants all of us, not just a part of us.

He knows how to handle us without breaking us. His perfect touch on our hearts brings correction and keeps us in our place. He will never leave us, even if He is not happy with us at times.

What else could we want? Learn to love God first and then our heart will be ready to love others.

1 John 4:19 (NKJV) 19 We love Him because He first loved us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-11-19

Galatians 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

We all like convenience. Things that are convenient make our lives easier, more pleasant.

Over the years, convenience seems to have slipped into the church, pervading the gospel of Jesus Christ, replacing the truth with “another gospel”.

So much of what we’re fed these days revolves around us, about making our lives better, not about making our lives count for God while we’re here on earth.

Think about the messages we hear over and over again; be happier, be wealthier, be more influential, make your life better, etc.

It’s important that we don’t let these fluffy messages replace the gospel of truth, the message of God’s mercy and love for humanity.

His love is about saving the lost, first and foremost. Jesus died as a sacrifice for our sins. His blood was shed as an atonement for those sins, to wash them away. It was a very high price that was paid.

Let’s not fall prey to other gospels, looking to God solely for material things, more convenient lives and everything else that humanity desires.

Instead, let’s be sure to put God first in everything we do, becoming a living sacrifice each and every day.

Romans 12:1 (NKJV) 12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-10-19

John 6:35 (NKJV) 35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

Having Jesus Christ will quench every bit of hunger and thirst we will ever have for anything.

That doesn’t mean we won’t like nice things or have any desires. We just need to remember that He will give us the desires of our hearts as we put Him first in everything.

With receiving and believing in Jesus, there comes an element of fulfillment, comfort and peace that fills us with the utmost satisfaction. Even though we enjoy certain things, it doesn’t mean that we have to have them to fill an emptiness within ourselves.

We have already filled the emptiness with Him. He comes in and fills that hole of insecurity, fear, greed, etc. He takes the place of every want and every need.

Do we desire other things at times? Of course. And do you know what? That’s alright, as long as our heart is not stuck on the thing or things, but our delight is in Him first and foremost!

Psalm 37:4 (NKJV)4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Keeping everything in its place is what God watches for. And that shows Him our heart and what place He holds there.

Amen. Enjoy Him and the desires He may bless us with.
