Bible Verse of The Day – 8-26-22

Acts 8:1 (NLT) 1 Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen. A great wave of persecution began that day, sweeping over the church in Jerusalem; and all the believers except the apostles were scattered through the regions of Judea and Samaria.

As the early church began to grow and flourish, it seemed like nothing could possibly stop them.

The number of people being added to the body of Christ was increasing daily. The believers were helping each other, and miracles were being performed regularly.

What could possibly go wrong?

And then Saul showed up, inciting hatred and violence upon the believers. His goal was to stop this new movement, even if it meant killing some of them.

He even gave his approval to the stoning death of Steven.

This immense persecution caused fear to sweep over the church, and all the believers except the apostles fled, scattering throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria.

And so began the end of Christianity. Or so it might have seemed.

But you see, what the devil means for evil, God uses for good.

And those very same believers who scattered took with them the gospel of truth, and they began to share it with others everywhere they went!

Acts 8:4 (NLT) 4 But the believers who were scattered preached the Good News about Jesus wherever they went.

So, as they taught the people about Jesus, His truth spread far and wide.

This thing that Saul and the other Jews tried to stop became unstoppable, flourishing despite what appeared to be imminent decimation with the death of Steven.

And to top it all off, God tore from Saul the desire to kill Christians by making him one!

Isn’t that just like our God?

We need to always remember that even the darkest times can be turned around. And nobody can do that the way God does.

Genesis 50:20 (NLT) 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good…

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-13-22

Psalm 37:3 (NKJV) 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

Feed off His faithfulness!

He is just like His word says; very faithful.

He is omnipresent; Present everywhere at the same time.

He is omnipotent; having unlimited power and able to do anything.

He is omniscient; He knows everything!

That about covers it all, wouldn’t you agree?

He is trustworthy and loves us deeply.

He knows our hearts, and He is speaking to the very hearts of those who might need to take a step of faith today.

Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not when we think we’ve got it all together. And not when we see results of what we are waiting on.

That is not having faith. That is calling the shots ourselves and receiving the results of the plans of a mere man vs. the results of the plans of an Almighty God!

Reach out for Him and His plan today, and trust Him.

Yes, there will be times when He may show us what to do and it will seem rather off the wall compared to our human, intellectual minds.

But, if we feel like it is Him, we need to trust it all the way through!

His faithfulness will surprise us, even in His provision for those little things we need. He will take care of it all.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-23-22

John 9:31 (NKJV) 31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.

Some people wonder why God is not answering them, and they go through so much complication in their life.

They’ve lost so much, and now they are hard from life itself and the things that have beaten them down.

God can not hear from a sinner. If someone has not truly accepted God’s Son, Jesus Christ, who is the way that He has made for us all to be able to communicate with Him, then He can not hear from them.

In order for Him to hear us and be able to help us, we must first acknowledge His Son and believe in Him. When we do this, we will find ourselves truly worshiping Him and living our lives to please Him and obey Him.

It’s a sure thing. Our prayers will be heard and He will guide us, protect us and provide for us.

Wow! Let us believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, worship Him in truth, and do His will, that He in return will hear us.

John 4:24 (NKJV) 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-18-22

Matthew 2:7-8 (NKJV) 7 Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men, determined from them what time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”

Herod hoped to deceive the wise men, so he could locate the Christ child and kill Him.

Isn’t it just like the devil to make himself seem to have a righteous purpose behind one of his evil schemes?

And isn’t it just like God to expose the enemy’s evil plans?

People of God, we live in a world where good and evil do battle constantly. And evil masquerades as good, hoping to trick those who are unaware.

We see pieces of it played out right in front of our eyes. But then there is a lot more that we don’t witness in the natural, because it’s carried out in the spiritual realm.

This is why it’s so critically important that we learn to discern absolutely everything that we encounter.

Truth and lies can look so much alike sometimes. And many times, it’s hard to know who to trust when it comes to getting trustworthy counsel and understanding.

Again, this is why it’s so critically important that we learn to discern absolutely everything that we encounter.

So, how do we learn to discern the things we see and hear? How do we know truth from lies? How do we know the difference between honesty and deception?

We immerse ourselves in the word of God. And we let the Holy Spirit teach us how to separate truth from lies; deception from the genuine article.

There is only one place where we can go for this; the word of God.

His word will show us the light in the midst of darkness, even when others can’t see it.

He is trustworthy and true, from start to finish.

He never abandons us and never leaves us without knowledge and understanding.

All we need to do is to desire to know the truth, and then diligently seek it out.

He will be faithful to show us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-9-22

Psalm 86:10 (NKJV) 10 For You are great, and do wondrous things; You alone are God.

The more I live here on this earth, the more I understand the reality of this one thing; He alone is God. And He alone is worthy of our trust, our faith, our honor and our worship.

Trusting in anything here on earth is like riding on a rollercoaster. One minute you’re up, and the next minute you’re down. Or, you’re being thrashed around from the wild ride you’re being taken on.

With God, there is no worry of Him changing. There is no worry of Him abandoning us.

And it’s in that fact that I find my solace, my peace and my stability.

We urge you to do the same.

Let go of the world. And hold only loosely to the things of this life.

Place your trust firmly in Him, and hold fast to Him every minute of every day.

You will not be disappointed.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-24-22

Deuteronomy 1:33 (NKJV) 33 who went in the way before you to search out a place for you to pitch your tents, to show you the way you should go, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day.

God will always go before His people!

This doesn’t mean that He will make it effortless, although some people may think that because He’s God He will do everything for us.

We have to be strong, for there will be areas we are not familiar or comfortable with.

It takes a people who are dedicated and who will not faint in times of tribulation, but know where to pull their strength from; Him and His word!

They will go out of their way to do what needs to be done and they will not shrink back in the face of danger.

These people will not focus on what they want or prefer. And they will not give up when things get hard.

Instead, they will focus on what God asks of them, and then go for it, pressing onward, no matter the cost.

When we trust God with our lives and let Him lead, He will definitely show us the path to take. But He won’t take it for us.

It’s kind of like being on call; ready to go, take directions and do what needs to be done.

Isaiah 43:16 (NKJV) 16 Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea And a path through the mighty waters…

Praise be to God!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-14-22

Lamentations 5:19 (NLT) 19 But Lord, you remain the same forever! Your throne continues from generation to generation.

There are a few things we can count on in life.

1 – Change will always come. Life is about change. Sometimes it comes in little ways. Other times it comes in big ways that turns our lives upside down. Either way, change is part of life.

2 – Evil will impact our lives in one way or another. It will either impact us directly because of choices we make, or it will impact us indirectly because of choices that others make. Either way, evil will impact us.

3 – Now this is the best one of the three. God is the same forever!

God will never change. He will always be steadfast and true.

He will never lie, and He will never forsake us.

This far outweighs the first two constants that we listed. And it makes life worth living, no matter what we’re facing or fighting against.

Hold fast to God. Cling to Him in everything.

He will never, ever change. And his throne continues from generation to generation.

Nothing is more sure than this.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-5-22

Isaiah 40:8 NKJV) 8 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.”

The world is anything but stable, especially during the times we’re currently living in.

Some days it seems like it can’t possibly get any crazier. But it does.

In times like what we’re living in, we need to understand that there is only One who can bring stability; God, the Creator of everything we see.

Everything around us eventually withers, fades and dies.

But God and His word stand forever.

If we have placed our hope in the things or the people around us, we will be sorely disappointed as each one will eventually let us down in one way or another.

Things will break or fail. People can hurt us or let us down in various ways.

Our one true source of stability is God. Anything or anyone else will fade away just as the grass and the flowers mentioned in the verse above.

But our God? He and His word will stand forever. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-25-21

Psalm 119:160 (NKJV) 160 The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

We must believe the whole Bible and take to heart the things that God has spoken to us.

Stand on His Word no matter what we see going on around us. Keep our hearts focused on Him, and don’t look back.

This place we live in is only temporary. But while we are here, we must take action as God’s children.

His promises have been given to each and every one of us.

If we need salvation, it’s in Him.

If we need hope, it’s in Him.

If we need deliverance, it’s in Him.

If we need healing, it’s in Him.

He is everything. And we can do nothing without Him. We must abide in His truth.

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

He will carry us through the hardest times we have ever had to walk through and get us to the other side!

So many of us struggle with this when things begin to fall apart around us. We lose sight of Him and begin to grow weary if we are not careful.

Galatians 6:9 (NKJV) 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Losing heart means that we begin doubting His very words, and giving up.

Hold tight. He is faithful to get us to the other side! Amen.

Merry Christmas to you all!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-29-21

Genesis 22:13 (NKJV) 13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

Throughout my life I have seen the faithfulness of God in many, many situations, in ways that have just blown my mind.

Most times He does things that don’t even begin to fit into the box of our imagination.

We can fret, worry, scheme and try to figure things out. Then along comes God. And before we can even begin to comprehend what He’s doing, He fixes things. And we are left with our jaws hanging open in awe and wonder.

That’s my God, my Father, my Creator.

This is the God who chose to come to earth in a human body, in the form of the Son, Jesus Christ, to walk among us, demonstrate God’s love and, mercy and compassion for us, and then die in our place on the cross, for my sins and your sins.

He is too big to fit into our tiny thinking.

Why?

Because His thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways so much higher than our ways.

And that’s 100% fine with me. So, I will live my life to follow Him, walk the path He has set before me to walk, and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-21-21

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

We are so very thankful today for each and every one of you. Thank you for listening to the Holy Spirit as He directs you in your giving to help this work at Seven Seas Ministries.

You have helped us reach the nations, day by day.

It is more than we ever thought we would do in a lifetime. And yet, here we are, doing just that, with your incredible help.

It’s a funny thing, because we don’t even want to know the number of people we reach, their location or even how we reached them. Because we know it is God, not us.

We are so grateful that He brought you alongside us to help. We could never do this on our own. Never.

Many years ago, when we decided to walk this call out. God gave us a vision. In this vision He showed us our home, right in the middle of a valley.

There were thousands of people all around the home. He told us, “they will take care of you and provide what you need”.

That was shocking, because we started out with just a few people receiving our emails.

How would it get to that point without Him? How, since we’ve never even met most of you face to face?

But guess what; with God, all things are possible!

You are connected to us through the Holy Spirit. We have never met most of you, but we are one in His Spirit. Those we have met, it seemed like we knew them all our lives.

What God is doing is amazing. We live in a miraculous situation every day, never knowing who will help us, or how it will happen, only trusting God to move on the hearts that will follow.

Thank you for listening. And not only that, but for taking action. You are doing a mighty work on this earth.

May He bless you, your home, work place and anything you touch. May you reap from the seeds you have sown out of obedience, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

We love you all, and we are grateful, even if we have not met you yet. We will all be together some day, where we will celebrate our Miracle Maker!! Amen.
