Bible Verse of The Day – 12-12-12

(Genesis 12:1 NKJV)  Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you… 12:4  So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

Go into a land that I will show you.

Can you imagine God speaking to you right where you are, at this moment in time, and telling you to leave and go away, but then not telling you where to go to?

How many of us would trust God enough to actually do what He tells us to do?

I believe that no matter where we think we’re at in our walk with God, if He told us to leave and go somewhere, but He didn’t tell us where we were to go, we would probably freak out and run the other way.

Faith can be a funny thing. So many times we think we’re walking in faith. We’re sailing through life and sincerely believing we are walking by faith, but then something unexpected comes our way and suddenly our “faith walk” stumbles and falls down!

Faith isn’t something that we can easily define or understand. It’s something that comes as we move forward with God and learn to trust Him. But it is something that we can ask God to help us grow.

Let’s ask God to help us grow our faith.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-19-12

(Mat 9:29 NKJV)  Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”

How much faith do we have today?

I find it interesting when He says, according to YOUR faith, let it be to you. It really is up to us as to how far we can go. As to how much God can do for us and with us, it is according to our faith.

Think about this; are we ready to see some big changes in our lives or do we just want little changes? If we believe God for little things, then little things we shall receive. But, if we believe Him for big things, then big things we shall receive.

There will be times when we walk in big faith and when change comes we will not be able to explain it to people that have questions. But that’s OK. Don’t let not being able to explain things, stop us from believing God for big things.

We serve a God that can handle big things…let us have faith today and watch the miracles take place in our lives and in the lives of those God connects us with.

According to your faith…let it be to YOU!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-8-12

(Isa 41:10 NKJV)  Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

God’s Word this today is speaking to each one of us that is walking in fear. If we have fear, then it’s impossible to have faith. If we let fear take over our hearts and minds, it will consume us. It is a huge distraction. It will cause us to not want to speak when we are prompted by God to speak. It will keep us from being a light to those around us.

Today let’s check ourselves ask God if we are afraid of anything. If we realize that we have been afraid of certain things, ask God to give us understanding and wisdom on how to overcome this fear that we may be having.

Let us pray together.

Dear God in Heaven,

I come to You this day and have realized that I have been walking in fear regarding…………..(tell Him what your fears are). I want to ask you today to help me overcome this fear. Right now. I  repent of being fearful at times and I command this fear to leave me, in Jesus’ name. I ask that You help me to walk in Your peace and by faith, knowing that You are going to take care of all my concerns as I put my trust in YOU!!

Lord thank You for Your peace that surpasses all understanding and may I walk each day by Faith and help others to know of Your faithfulness.

I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen

We are in agreement with you today that you are going to walk by faith and not fear, and if the temptation of fear comes your way, rebuke it in Jesus’ name.

Know that God will uphold you!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-1-12

(3 John 1:2 NKJV)  Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

We just wanted you all to know how much you bless us.

Each night as we sit and prepare the Bible Verse of The Day to go out to thousands of people all across this world, we think of the one. The one that is hurting, the one that is lonely, the one that may be suffering in any way, the one that is struggling to know and feel God’s love.

It is only by the Spirit of God that each need is met and each heart is touched. We get letters and emails from all over… of how God touched that ONE; How He is changing their lives, changing their hearts, healing their bodies, and opening doors for huge opportunities!  It is God!

He loves you, and He wants you to prosper in ALL things!

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-24-12

(Mat 10:36 NKJV)  “and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’

Are we going through family turmoil in our homes, within our church family, or in our work place, etc.? Well, don’t let it take you by surprise. God’s Word shows us that we don’t have to look very far to find enemies; they can be right in our own backyard.

It’s very hard when we have family members, close friends or co-workers that cause trouble for us, simply because they don’t agree with who we have chosen to be in Christ or how we choose to handle things.

It’s possible they are just plain jealous because good things are happening in our lives and they can’t handle it. But we can’t let them stop us from doing what is right and being all that Christ calls us to be.

We have to be alert, stand our ground, be who God has called us to be, and keep moving forward with love!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-21-12

(John 14:6 NKJV)  Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

This is one of my favorite verses. It sums up the entire foundation of our salvation in a way that nobody can sensibly dispute it. Period.

Jesus is the way, He is the truth and He is the life. There is nothing found outside of Him. He offers us eternal life through simple faith.

There is no need for a 12-step program, a complicated set of rituals or anything else that man might be able to conjure up in order to make it difficult or to try to make it fit into a logical mold for our better understanding.

If anyone denies Jesus or His deity, they deny life itself. God has made it simple for us to have life in Him. Sadly, we have complicated it and made it seem difficult.

If anyone ever tries to tell you that salvation requires anything more than faith in the messiah, Jesus Christ, walk away from them and never listen to a single word they speak, because their words are not of God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-7-12

(Exo 4:15 NKJV)  “Now you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you shall do.

When God spoke to Moses and told him what He needed him to do, Moses hesitated and told God He had the wrong man for the job.

Despite His anger against Moses, God made a way for Moses to carry through and get the job done, using his brother Aaron.

Most importantly, though, God taught Moses what he needed to do.

As we let God lead us, if we’re open and we listen to Him, He will teach us what to do and how to do it. We don’t need to fear. We just need to trust!

So listen for God’s voice, heed what He tells you and then trust Him to tell you how to do it.

With God in control, we can’t go wrong.

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 – 6-14-12

(Phil 4:13 NKJV)  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

We are never expected to do things on our own!

I know there must be a lot of us going through some kind of battle right now, because it seems that many of the verses we’re being prompted to share are about battles, victories, trials and depending on God to help us through them.

On our own, we’re weak, feeble and lacking in so many areas. Oh, I know that’s not something we like to hear, but it’s plain, simple truth.

But in Christ, we can do all things! He gives us strength, peace, joy, understanding, discernment, compassion and victory! There is nothing that we lack in Christ.

Press into Him today. Make that extra effort to push through the obstacles and touch the hem of his robe and get your healing, your deliverance, and your victory. It doesn’t always come easy, but it does come if we depend on Him for it!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-1-12

(Heb 11:8 NKJV)  By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

Do you ever feel like you need to take a step, but you’re afraid because you don’t know what is going to happen when you do and you’ll never know what would have happened if you don’t?

So you just don’t move at all. In some cases it’s good to just wait. But, there are cases where you will have to take steps and move forward without knowing what lies ahead, especially if God is leading you to do so. He is not always going to spell it out for us… if He did where would faith come in?

Don’t be afraid to step out and go and do things you’ve never done before if God is leading you. Just make sure it’s God leading you and not your own will kicking in.

Some ways to tell if it’s God is that it does not bring confusion. No matter how hard it may be or scary it may seem, there will be a peace; a God-given peace.

Whatever God has you do will not hurt your marriage or your children. If you’re making a decision, both people in a marriage should be in agreement. God will not ask you to do something if it hurts your spouse or your family in any way. Family is important to Him.

Be careful, be sure it’s God and then trust Him to see you through!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-20-12

(Mark 10:27 NKJV)  But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

As human beings who live in a natural, tangible world, we sometimes have a hard time seeing past what’s standing in front of us.

We have ideas, dreams, goals or hopes. But we don’t see how they’ll ever become reality.

We have obstacles that stand between us and those dreams, goals and hopes. We have things that come against us. This makes it hard for us to see how any of these dreams, goals or hopes can become a reality in our lives.

Most times, this is because we only look at things through our natural eyes and we see everything in the natural realm. But we need to remember that God is not flesh and bone. He doesn’t operate based on natural principles or within natural boundaries.

God operates based on spiritual principles and heavenly realities. He’s not bound by earthly so-called realities.

Jesus said that with men things are impossible, but with God those things are possible.

(Mark 9:23 NKJV)  Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

So will we believe Him? Will we believe His word?

We have a choice. We can believe God and His word, and see a change in our circumstances. Or we can believe only what we see in front of us.
