Bible Verse of The Day – 9-4-24

1 John 4:4 (NKJV) 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

As John penned his first epistle to the early church, he began the fourth chapter by warning believers that many false prophets had gone out into the world.

His purpose was to tell the body of Christ that we must not believe every spirit, but test the spirits by which messages come to us from those who call themselves men and women of God.

He went on to warn that the spirit of the Antichrist was already in the world and is using these same false prophets to spread lies and deceit throughout the body of Christ.

John then spoke words of faith and encouragement to the believers of that day by stating that they had already overcome the spirit of the Antichrist “because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”

The truth that he stated that “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” is one that most of us fail to fully comprehend.

It is a deep truth that carries much more weight than we realize.

As children of God, grasping the weight of this truth will help us live lives of strong faith and great spiritual fortitude.

It will also help us defeat fear in our lives and live our lives more powerfully in the Spirit.

God never intended that we live lives of fear and trepidation, trembling at the thought of the enemy.

He has given us the weapons we need to live strong lives of victory. We just need to understand and remember that we live not by what we see or what we can understand by our natural eyes and mind, but by the Spirit of God and the faith that He has planted in us.

And it is when we understand that our battles are not carnal, but spiritual, that we know our strength lies not in ourselves, but in living and walking by the Spirit of God.

2 Corinthians 10:4 (NKJV) 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds…

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-11-24

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NKJV) 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Someone today is wondering how they will live and keep going. If you know someone like this, tell them that if they have Jesus, they have the victory!

Someone today is suffering from addiction and has no idea if they will be able to beat it. You tell them, if they have Jesus they have the victory!

Someone today may have lost their job, and they are falling into depression. You tell them that if they have Jesus, they have the victory!

Someone today is having marital problems and things are not getting any better. You tell them that if they have Jesus they have the victory!

What is victory?

Jesus died for our sins on that cross and He was rose again. The resurrection of Christ brings victory over sin, the law and death! 

Let the Holy Spirit’s power guide us today in praying and making the right choices in our situations. Things will get better as we trust, obey, and follow Him.

We’ve got the victory in Jesus Christ our Lord! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-2-22

1 John 5:4 (NKJV) 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

If we believe in HIs Son, Jesus Christ, and repent from our sins and let Him guide our steps we take each day, we are born of God!

And He has overcome the world, so that we too can be victorious in all we do.

It is our faith in Him that allows us to have victory. Nothing else will give us this kind of victory; only our faith in Jesus Christ!

He is our victory!

In having faith in Him and obeying His word, we have everlasting life. We will not perish, and no one can snatch us out of His hand!

John 10:28 (NKJV) 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

Faith in Him; now that is victory! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-8-20

Romans 8:37 (NKJV) 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

The phrase “More than conquerors” is another way of saying “super-victorious”!

Christ has conquered death. And because of this great victory on His part, we are more than conquerors through Him, as we put our trust and faith in Him.

Our belief in Him gives us the victory! Amen.

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NJKV) 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

If we believe Jesus is the Christ, we are born of God. And the victory we have is through His love for us and our love for Him.

Love is a big part of this relationship. It will cause us to want to do what is good, right and just. It will lead us into obeying His word.

1 John 5:1 (NKJV) 1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.

We’ve got the victory living on the inside of us and we are super victorious; more than conquerors!

Now that’s something to shout and dance about! Let us give Him our praise today, as He has given us victory through salvation.

Psalm 149:3-4 (NKJV) 3 Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp. 4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-5-18

Romans 8:37 (NKJV) 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Get up and celebrate, for we are victorious in Christ!

He has conquered every sickness and every disease through the stripes that He took on His back and the cross that He bore for us.

If we are struggling with any disease or addictions, we need to know that He has already won that battle. Believe in Him for deliverance and healing today. Don’t try to figure out when or where it will come from. Just trust it will happen the way He wants it to. Be willing to do whatever it takes.

Put our troubles in the Hands of the Man that went out of His way to save us. Listen to what He is saying and obey what He is prompting us to do.

Some of us need to give up drinking, smoking and drugging.

Some of us need to stop sleeping around, fornicating or committing adultery.

Some of us need to forgive someone.

Some of us need to give up our finances and sow a seed.

Some of us need to stop talking trash, using filthy language and laughing at dirty jokes.

Some of us need to stop spreading negativity.

God will show us our answer for our problem. We need to be willing to listen, willing to straighten up and take the necessary steps. If we really want it, we will go after it.

God help us to really want it today. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-11-17

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NKJV) 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Victory. It’s something we hear a lot about, but many of us never really fully grasp what it means. 

Most times, this is because we fail to recognize or remember that Jesus has already bought the victory for us. His work was a work that finished everything. In fact, Jesus himself spoke the words “it is finished” right before taking His last breath. 

John 19:30 (NKJV) 30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. 

Those are significant words for you and I. They mean that the battle for our soul has already been won, and victory is being offered to each and every one of us. We just need to claim that victory. 

Think of it as someone offering us a gift. They’re holding it out to us. We just need to reach out and take it. 

This also means that we have an advantage over our enemy, the devil. Oh, he will try to come and rattle our cage at times. He may even be successful at it, by getting us to doubt God or doubt our position in Christ. He might even get us to give in to temptation at times. 

But, we just need to remind him and remind ourselves that He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world. 

1 John 4:4 (NKJV) 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 

In other words, because we have Christ living in us, we shouldn’t live defeated lives, constantly falling prey to the wiles of the enemy. 

And when we do fall down, we should never stay there. We need to get back up, let God point us in the right direction, and then get back on track. And our focus should never be on the things we’ve done wrong. But on the things ahead of us. 

Because God placed our eyes in the front of our head, and not in the back, we need to continue to look forward and upward. And give Him thanks daily, knowing that He has given us the victory in Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-23-17

Matthew 8:26 (NKJV) 26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

What if I told you that we have Someone on our side who will make the devil run? Would you want to hear about it?

Would you want to know how to get onboard? Would you make sacrifices to make sure that you were covered, and no matter what the devil tried to do to hurt you, he would lose and go running away?

Well, if you would really like to know this information, you’ve got it!

You will have to make sacrifices at times, and you will have to listen and pay close attention to steps and instructions.

Is this the same attitude we take when we want a new home, a new car, a new job or a vacation to some place we have been longing to see?

Do we take this same attitude when we see someone we fall in love with and want to marry some day? I’d say, most times we will go out of our way and do anything we can to make it happen.

We need to have the same attitude when it comes to wanting to make the devil run. Run from our situation, run from our friends, run from our family, run from our job, and run from our church!

That’s right, even the devil likes to come to church if we let him. He will come in to our homes, our schools, and our marriages. If we let him, he will come in where ever he can squeeze himself in.

How can we make someone that is so intimidating, mean, hurtful and destructive run?

We line ourselves up with what God says to do and we do it!

The step Jesus took in rebuking the winds is the very step we need to take in making the devil run.

Don’t fear him. Rebuke him, in Jesus’ name, in every situation that he tries to rise up in.

The next part is equally important and we must believe it and hold it dear to our hearts.

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NKJV) 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

No matter what we are facing today, God will give us victory over it as we follow His steps. That victory may not always look exactly as we pictured it, but it will come.

Rebuke the devil and the calm will come. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-24-15

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Jesus came and died to set us free.

He died to set us free from sin, but He also died to set us free from so much more. He wants us to be free from shame and guilt. He wants us to be free from condemnation and anxiety.

He wants us to be free from addictions and oppression. And He wants us to be free from bondage of all kinds.

Way too many of us limp through life, wondering what our purpose is or why we’re in the situation we’re in. And many times we tend to pull back from God because we don’t see things changing in our lives.

But this isn’t what God wants for us. He wants us to live lives of victory!

Victory doesn’t necessarily mean that we won’t have troubles, but it means that we have strength, in Christ, to push through those trials and not let them beat us down while we work through them.

The key to this is to draw near to God and let Him help us through them, so we don’t end up frazzled and worn out from the stress of worrying.

Matthew 6:34 (NKJV) 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

So as life pushes on you and tries to bury you in worries, push back and speak the words of Jesus to the enemy and claim them over your life.

Victory is ours. We just need to reach out and claim it, in the name of Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-13-15

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NKJV) 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

We used to attend a church where the Pastor would stand at the door after each service and ask people, “do you have the victory?”

How many today know what the victory is? Victory comes through Jesus Christ, and if we have Him living in us, then the victory is available to us!

Through His blood, we who believe in Him have been set free. We have healing and deliverance available to us, in the name of Jesus.

We can have the victory no matter what we are going through, no matter what we face in our lives.

We need to remind ourselves of this when the enemy comes and tries to tell us anything different, because he will try at times. Especially when things don’t look or feel victorious. But we don’t walk by feelings or by sight. Nosiree!

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Thank God for His precious Son, Jesus Christ, and the victory He has given us through Him!! Amen.
