Bible Verse of The Day – 8-22-16

Acts 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Jesus is speaking to the disciples in this verse. They needed power to do what He asked them to do. He’s telling them that they cannot do it on their own, or by intellect. They needed Holy Spirit power; power from on High.

So what makes us think we can do these same kinds of things without the help of the Holy Spirit?

This is why we find ourselves giving up, not completing what we started. We find ourselves tired, beaten down, walked on, overworked, and simply irritated and exhausted.

How will we touch the lives of those who need Christ like this?

Jesus told them they would receive POWER. We also need this power, strength, and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

We, His children, His body, every person, every denomination and every people group need the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to fall on us, so we may do the things God asks us to do.

Cry out to God for the filling of the Holy Spirit today that we too may be full of strength and power to be all that He wants us to be, to do the work that He has called us to do unto the ends of the earth.

Acts 2:4 (NKJV) 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Dear God in Heaven,
We come to You and ask for your filling of the Holy Spirit that you promised us.  Come and fill us and help us walk this walk. We can’t do it on our own and forgive us for trying. Empower us with your Spirit, our Helper. We receive Him today In the name of Jesus Christ.

Let Him fill us today. He is faithful! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-15-16

Matthew 9:12 (NKJV) 12 When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

Following the example of Jesus, we too need to help those that need Him.

We need to help those that are spiritually dead. They are without Christ, empty, lost and without help. They are trying to make it, trying to succeed, and trying hard to pull it together on their own.

It’s important that we allow God to help us know how to reach those that are ready and willing. That we may move in such a way that it is life-changing and it touches them in the deepest part of their heart.

How does one reach that deep part of the heart of man? Through the help and guidance of God Himself. Just as He anointed His Son, Jesus, it’s important that we too have help.

Luke 4:18 (NKJV) 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor;

Jesus did the things He did through the power and the anointing of God’s Spirit. God’s anointing moved on Jesus and miracles happened, along with healing, deliverances, etc.

God sent us a Helper so that we too can be led according to His will, His timing, His accuracy, and with His strength. Our Helper is the Holy Spirit.

The church is not going to see miracles, deliverance, healing, or breakthroughs, etc. if we don’t have the Holy Spirit helping us.

Bride of Christ, children of the most High, we encourage you today, if you have not asked The Holy Spirit to come and fill you and be your Helper, today is your day.

Jesus was anointed to do the things He did. The disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4) and we need this Helper in our lives if we want to see a difference in ourselves and in those that we reach out to. Amen.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-21-15

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

The Holy Spirit is Our Helper.

The church as a whole is not doing well. Why?

Because we are afraid to let the Holy Spirit in to HELP us. We are afraid He may convict us into shutting down a few things and changing things up a bit. We are afraid He might come in to our pretty little scheduled Sunday services or our well planned lives and do something completely different than what we are used to.

Do we really understand Who our Helper is? He is there to help us, not to hurt us, embarrass us or bring confusion to us.

Jesus knew we were going to need the Holy Spirit. He walked this earth and knew what we would be up against daily. He knew about the fiery dots that are deliberately sent out,  solely to bring destruction.

Ephesians 6:16 (NKJV) 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

His provision to us, to defeat the wicked one and to live a life of victory, was through the help of the Holy Spirit.

Don’t be afraid to embrace our Helper and do what He tells us to do.

It is through the help of the Holy Spirit that God will lead us, and those things that were impossible will be possible!

Luke 1:37 (NKJV) 37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-19-15

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

We don’t need to worry or doubt whether or not we are going to do the right thing if we wait on the Holy Spirit and follow His guidance!

Will the things that the Holy Spirit shows us or tells us always line up with what we think should happen? No. But it will line up with the Word of God.

If we ever feel like the Holy Spirit is guiding us and it goes against the Word of God and what the Bible tells us to do, then that is not the Holy Spirit guiding us. He never goes against God’s word, because the Holy Spirit and the Father are ONE.

We need to be alert at all times, for the Holy Spirit is there to help us. We need to be listening and ready at all times.

Receive Him and His help today, in Jesus’ name, and ask Him to guide us in our daily lives and in the decisions we need to make every day. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-14-15

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Everything we need to know about living a good and right life is in God’s Word. We can recite the scriptures by memorizing them. We can even try to teach them to the best of our knowledge and ability. The Word of God gives us clear direction.

But knowing and doing are two completely different things. The truth of the matter is that no matter how much we learn and take in, we can not do this on our own. We need a Helper.

Jesus Christ sent us a Helper for this reason, so that we don’t just know about the Word and what it says, but that we may actually have the strength and wisdom to walk in it; to be able to apply it to our everyday lives and the situations that we run into from time to time.

If we want to see things change in our lives, in the church as a whole, or in this world, we will not accomplish it without our Helper.

Give Him a place in our life, in our day, in the hour in which we live. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide us today in all that we do. He is there for every one of us.

Acts 2:38,39 (NKJV) 38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-14-13

(John 14:26 NKJV)  “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

We need to remember that we are not alone. If there is a decision we need to make today, we don’t need to try to figure it all out on our own. We don’t need to take steps on our own. We have Someone to help us…Our Helper, the Holy Spirit.

All we have to do is ask Him. Let’s take time today and let the Holy Spirit guide us. He helps us make the right decisions in all we do.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-24-12

(John 14:12 NKJV)  “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

I know we have touched on this subject recently, but I want to hit it again because it’s so very critical to the life of the church.

Jesus spoke these words. He proclaimed very plainly, using no symbolism whatsoever, that we, His followers and believers, would do greater works than He did. He went on to say, a few verses later, that the Father would be sending the Holy Spirit, the helper, who would abide with us forever.

Jesus never, ever told us that we would do miracles for a short time and then that power would run out when the last apostle died. He never intended for His church to be duped into believing that healing and deliverance were only for specific people to perform during a specific era.

In the verse above He plainly stated that “he who believes in Me” will do greater works then He did.

We are meant to live a life that displays the power of God through the Holy Spirit. We need the power of the Holy Spirit. Anything less is just knowledge and intellectualism. Intellect can never fight spiritual battles, cast out demons or heal a sick body.

I implore you today to believe God’s word in its full power, not just part of it! It’s essential for us to take God at His word and live a life of power and spiritual understanding if we are to be effective in this world.

Seek God and ask Him to give you understanding so you can walk in the power He intended for us to have.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-14-12

(Mat 5:20 KJV)  For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Today we have in the leaders church with the same mentality as the Scribes and Pharisees. They stand in the pulpit and teach what they think about God’s Word to be truth with their own understand, sharing and imparting wrong ideas and agendas.

Why do they do this? Because they don’t believe that the Holy Spirit was for everyone. They only believe He was for the Disciples and when they died that ended it all.

Without the gift of the Holy Spirit we can’t do the things that God wants us to do and He knew this. That’s why He sent Him to the disciples and for you and I. With Him helping us we can make right decisions, and know the timing of when to do things. There is discernment, understanding and strength to keep walking and to not give up during times when our natural minds just want to crash.

(John 14:16-17 NKJV)  “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever; {17} “the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

Our Helper, the Holy Spirit, is wanting to help us today. Let us not push Him away.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-13-12

(2 Cor 10:3 NKJV)  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

Don’t let the flesh tell you how to win your battle. Because the flesh has NO clue how God wants us to fight our battle. But let God’s Spirit lead us in our Victory!!

The power of God’s Spirit comes through the receiving of the Holy Spirit which, we all need. (John 20:22 NKJV)  And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “receive the Holy Spirit”.

We can not fight and win the battle without the Holy Spirit, our helper!!

If you are in battle today and you want to WIN it, you must fight this battle with the Holy Spirit guiding you.

If God is speaking to you today, we want you to take some time and pray this prayer with us. As we join together in unity, asking God to fill you with the Holy Spirit.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Forgive me for trying to fight the battle that I face, on my own. Today I believe that you have given to us a Helper, (John 14:26 NKJV ). And He is willing to come and help us live the life which You have called us to live as we receive Him. Today, I ask in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ that the Holy Spirit will come into my life and lead me each day, that I may walk in the love and victory that you have for me. Thank you God and we give You all Glory, Honor and Praise!!

In Jesus name we pray. Amen
