Bible Verse of The Day – 10-16-24

Ephesians 3:20-21 (NKJV) 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

God is much bigger and more powerful than we can fathom.

Our finite human minds can barely begin to grasp who He really is in His fullness.

As His children, we must be careful not to put God in a box that is smaller than He can fit in.

What does that mean?

It means that we need to be careful that we don’t believe Him for less than He can do.

Jeus spoke the words, “your faith has made you well” on more than one occasion.

This is critical for us to understand.

Yes, Jesus was the One who healed these people. But it was their faith that made their healing possible!

And so it is with so many things about our own lives. God can do much more than we can comprehend with our natural minds, so we must ask Him to help us believe by His Spirit.

This is not easy, especially when we are young believers. But as we grow, and we learn of Him (by spending time in His word), our faith should grow. And as that faith grows, we will see Him move on our behalf in ways that we never thought possible.

So, let us begin to trust Him wholly. Let us ask Him to help us with our doubt and unbelief. And watch as He opens our spiritual eyes to who He is and what He can do!

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-16-21

Luke 1:34 (NKJV) 34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”

In verse 31 of this chapter, an angel came to Mary and told her that she would conceive in her womb and bring forth a Son, and His name would be Jesus.

How can this be?

Notice that Mary did not ask if this could be. She wanted to know how, expressing her concerns based on her current situation. How can this be, seeing that I have not been with a man?

Her intellect was trying to understand all of this. She believed God could do it. She was just curious as to how.

Luke 1:38 (NKJV) 38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

There will be things in life that we will not necessarily understand how they can happen if we look at them based on our own understanding.

But God is able to do above and beyond all that we know!

Maybe we are in a certain season right now, and we feel completely lost and don’t know how things are going to turn around.

Remember this one verse; “Let it be according to your word”!

God knows how and when to carry out His plans in our lives. We just have to make sure we don’t get stuck in the uncertainties.

If we can learn to do this, we will watch it be birthed. A miracle is easy for Him!

Make sure that we don’t get stuck in the “how can it be?”.

It’s OK to ask. But be sure to trust God to do whatever it is He is showing us. Then we need to continue to take the necessary steps to get there, or keep on believing Him even if we don’t see any steps in front of us to take.

Have faith. If Mary did not believe in what the angel spoke to her on that day, she would not have been the one to give birth to our savior.

If God is saying something to us, and we don’t quite understand how it can be, don’t doubt Him. Ask Him to give you the understanding, and let Him do it His way and in His timing. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-9-21

Daniel 6:23 (NKJV) 23 Now the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God.

Daniel was in this den with the lions all night. The lions did not hurt him. He was not injured in any way.

Why?

Because Daniel believed in his God!

Do we believe in our God today?

Are we in trouble? Are we facing a den full of hungry lions? Are the walls closing in on us, and we feel the fear and pressure of what could possibly happen?

Is our mind screaming, “There is no way out of this one.”?

So many today only have to do one thing to fix their predicament, but they think that one thing is ridiculous. Because of this, they haven’t even considered it. They think that one thing is of the past or only for the “Bible days”.

The stories in the Bible aren’t just for us to simply read. They aren’t for us to take lightly and say, “well, God did it for them because they are special. That stuff doesn’t happen today”.

That is wrong.

They are lessons and examples of God’s might, power and love for us! They are written to show us how faithful God was for them, and still is for us!

How many of us today can believe God?

Can we walk out the process that God is leading us into, in order to experience the deliverance that needs to come

Daniel believed God.

He was still put in a den with lions. This was the place he needed to be in for his deliverance to come. And he kept his belief in God strong, no matter what he was facing.

What lion are we facing today, and what den have we been thrown into?

Don’t give up and start doubting God. Believe, and keep believing. Stand strong in times like this.

He will shut their mouths and you shall be found innocent.

Daniel 6:22 (NKJV) 22 My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.”

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-24-20

Mark 11:24 (NKJV) 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Prayer is powerful if we have the faith to back it up. All we need to have is faith the size of a mustard seed, which is tiny. But we all have it.

We have to let it go to work for us. Believe, and it will grow, and grow, and grow. It will grow as much as we believe for.

God is faithful to help us by taking the faith we have in Him and giving us opportunities to watch and see for ourselves what He can and will do.

If we can’t believe Him for it, it won’t happen.

Sometimes we can believe Him for it and it won’t happen either. Why? Because it was not the right answer for the problem. God is not going to pass something through if it’s going to bring destruction, or if it will hurt those that belong to Him.

His love will protect us from harm.

And believe me, the things we ask for sometimes, if they were to have gone through, ouch. We would have been in a heap of trouble.

We need to thank Him for protecting us from these things by not answering sometimes.

He is good!

Have faith and believe Him for the things He puts in our hearts to ask for. They shall come in the perfect timing. Amen.

Matthew 17:20 (NKJV) 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Dear God,

We are grateful that the things we asked for, but we did not receive, was the right answer for us. Even though we do not always understand it, we appreciate it and are thankful because You only do what is good for us. You know what is best.

Now, for the things that You have laid upon our hearts and know that is what we will need, we lift those requests up to You and believe that You will take care of it. It’s in Your hands. Please show us our part that we need to play. Help us to follow You and not to try to take the lead when things begin to change and the answer begins to come.

We love you and thank you for Your faithfulness. Continue to help us in our unbelief.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-13-18 – Believe and Receive – What Does The Bible Say?

Believe and Receive - What Does The Bible Say?Greetings in the name of Jesus, 

We hope you are enjoying your day and walking in the blessings of God. 

Believe and receive. Most of us have heard this catchy little phrase used in the church. But what does it really mean? 

We just published a new video that explores this topic, and we’d love to have you watch it! 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

The implication of this phrase is usually that all we have to do is believe God for something and it will just happen. 

But what does God’s word say about this? Is what we’ve all been hearing really true? 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Recording this video was a lot of fun and we feel like it’s very informative in many different ways, so we do hope you will take a few minutes out of your day and watch it. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Be blessed in Him and enjoy the rest of your day. 

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-26-17

Romans 1:20 (NKJV) 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse… 

Sometimes the enemy will try to get us to doubt God. And if we entertain those thoughts, he may eventually get us to begin to doubt that God even exists. 

And there are those who doubt that God exists at all. They have never believed and they never intend to believe. 

But as we look around, creation gives us enough evidence that He not only exists, but that He is incredible! 

The things we see with our eyes are more than sufficient to show us God’s existence. The sky, the stars, the moon, the planets, human life, animal life and so much more. It’s all a huge testimony to God’s power and might. 

God’s word says we are without excuse if we doubt Him. Although we can’t see Him, we can see what He has made. And if we can see what was made, we have to know that there is a Maker. 

Some people might make requests or demands of God, to prove Himself to them. Some might ask Him to prove Himself through a miracle. But most of those very same people would discount a miracle and try to explain it away, and then ask God to do something else to prove Himself. 

It’s an endless cycle. And God says we are without excuse. 

Look around. Stop doubting. Stop asking for proof. He is who He says He is!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-22-16

Matthew 13:58 Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

The He that they are referring to in this verse is Jesus. Because of their unbelief, Jesus did not do mighty works there in that area.

It’s important that we understand that unbelief will cause us to miss out on seeing mighty works done, in the church, in our homes, in our lives and in our town. Unbelief will hold back the mighty works of Jesus Christ.

Mighty works come, and change happens when we believe Jesus for them. We can’t do them on our own.

A Pastor, Priest, Evangelist, etc. can not do them on their own and we can not talk ourselves into making it happen.

Jesus Christ needed the people to believe if they wanted to see mighty works done.

If we are in need today of a mighty work of God, whether in our own lives, or maybe others we see around us, but we are struggling with unbelief, ask God for help.

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

He is willing to help us. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-12-16

John 4:50 (NKJV) 50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

Jesus spoke His WORD to this man and the man took Him at it and BELIEVED Him.

This man implored Jesus, meaning he made a very serious or emotional request to Him.

How serious are we when it comes to getting Jesus’ help? Are we STILL trying to fix things on our own and then blaming Him because nothing has changed?

This is huge, because in this verse there is a need. The man’s son needs healing or he will die.

John 4:47 (NKJV) 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

It is a life-threatening need.

What are we going through today? Maybe we are facing a life-threatening situation as well. Maybe with ourselves, or a loved one? Maybe our marriage is falling apart, or our relationship with our children needs help, etc. Maybe we are up against something very hard and we need His WORD for our situation.

But, it doesn’t stop there, we can not just get a word and that’s it. We have to do what this man did and believe. We have to believe HIS word, BEFORE we see the results.

Here it is…The man did not know his son was healed, but he believed Jesus’ word. It was after, when he arrived home that they told him.

John 4:52 (NKJV) 52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”

The same hour that he believed!!

John 4:53 (NKJV) 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household.

Some of us are on the fence, waiting to SEE the results before we completely believe. It’s not going to happen that way. Believing comes first.

First, we need to make a very serious request for Jesus’ word for our situation. Very serious; that means even if we don’t like what we know or hear, we must submit to it and follow it out. Second, believe that it will be done according to His word and what He shows us, even before we see the results.

If we want His results, we must hear it and believe it!

May His healing be upon you, your life, your situation and all that you are dealing with today. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-14-15

Mark 11:22-24(NKJV) 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

There are a lot of things we are believing God for right now. Things that are out of our hands or control. Things that only HE can do. Things that will take a MIRACLE!!

We are excited about how and when God will do it!! We rest in knowing that His way is perfect. His timing is perfect. And His will for us is PERFECT!!

This is the way to live in Christ, as God’s children. It’s normal and it’s fun!

I can remember having a conversation one day with a couple. I was telling them about some of the things we know that God is doing for us and they had the deer-in-the-headlights look on their faces. As in, “are you really serious?”

You know, that’s why some are struggling today. They’re not getting their healing. They’re not getting their financial breakthrough. They’re not getting that new job, or that new home. It seems so far away and unreachable.

The healing they need for their marriage is out of sight. Those that have been waiting and waiting for the spouse they long to be with etc.

Why? Because they won’t even take the first step and believe. They’ve got that scared look on their face when God tells them to do certain things and they are saying the same thing. “Are you really serious?”

Believing is essential when we’re expecting or asking for something from God.

We have to have faith, trust God and believe in our hearts.
