Bible Verse of The Day – 8-13-21

James 4:2-3 (NKJV) 2 …you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

As believers, it’s important that we understand some basic principles of truth so our walk with God will follow the path that God wants for each of us.

Part of that is understanding how God works when it comes to answering our prayers.

We all have desires that we present to God in our prayers; requests we make.

Some may base this on another scripture that states that God will give us the desires of our hearts.

Psalm 37:4-5 (NKJV) 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.

The key to this passage of scripture (and this principle) lies in the first half of verse 4, and the entirety of the latter verse (5). These parts lay the foundation for the middle part (He shall give you the desires of your heart).

In other words, those two pieces work to set things in motion to make the middle piece happen.

James says something very similar in the scripture at the top of the devotional, stating that we don’t get what we ask for because we ask with wrong motives that are selfish, revolving solely around our own pleasures.

So, how do we fix what seems to be an insurmountable obstacle?

We let God mold and shape our heart so that it begins to conform more and more to what He wants for us, instead of what we want.

As we do that, our desires begin to change, and they begin to line up more with who God is, not who we are. They are no longer selfish or self-centered in their origins.

Then we will begin seeing the desires of our heart given to us more frequently, because they line up more accurately with God’s desires.

This is something we teach about fairly frequently because we have learned the importance of it over many years of walking with God. And we want to pass it on so others can also understand it and benefit from it.

Put Him first in everything. Let Him change your heart and you way of thinking. And watch as He shapes your world.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-24-20

1 John 3:22 (NKJV) 22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

We all ask God for things.

Sometimes we ask Him for wisdom. Sometimes we ask for help with a specific situation. Sometimes we ask Him for finances to pay for something we need.

The thing is that we don’t always get what we ask for. Why is that?

This short verse above tells us exactly why!

“We receive from Him because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight”.

Our walk with God is all about relationship. It is a Father/son or Father/daughter relationship.

It is not a King on a throne looking down at us, dictating to us what we should do to be good subjects.

It is a Father in heaven, loving us and wanting us to love Him back. As with any relationship, we want to please the one we love.

With God, He wants us to do the things that are pleasing in His sight. His word tells us what those things are; put Him first in everything, love others, do to others what we want done to us, live righteously, etc.

Now, this isn’t a dictatorship. God doesn’t watch our every move, waiting for us to fail so He can hold it over us or punish us when we do.

He simply wants us to love Him so much that we want to do the things that are pleasing in His sight.

It’s then that we will begin to see the verse above played out in our lives. And we will begin to see the things we ask Him for coming to pass. Because our hearts will be one with His, and our requests will be in line with His heart!

1 John 5:14-15 (NKJV) 14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-22-19

Matthew 21:22 (NKJV) 22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

Do we feel like we are still waiting on our prayers to be answered?

I have learned that the best thing we can do when we pray, to show God that we believe, is to ask for what it is we need and then move on.

Don’t focus on it or keep holding onto it. Release it and move on.

Just the other day, I was so surprised! God reminded me of something I had prayed for many years ago. I had forgotten all about it. I guess that’s what we could call moving on.

But, despite me forgetting about praying for it, He delivered to me what I had prayed for, exactly to the tee. And then He reminded me that it was because I had asked for it. Oh, thank YOU, Father! He is so good! Amen.

We really need to learn to ask for the things we need and enjoy. Don’t be shy. We have a Papa that wants to fill us with His joy!

If we only knew how much He wants to bless our hearts with the desires that come from Him. things that we would love to see take place, we would be praying without ceasing.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 pray without ceasing…

Not just for ourselves, but for the needs of others and the condition of this world. For our friends that we see struggling. Our family, our church, our work place, and our business, etc.

There is so much to pray about.

But, what stops us?

We do. The heaviness of the situation can stop us dead in our tracks. We don’t move forward until we see something change. But we have it all wrong.

We need to believe. And we do that by praying, and releasing it into His care. And then He works out the details.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-3-19

John 15:7 (NKJV) 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

We all wonder sometimes why our prayers seem to go unanswered. We seek, and we ask. And the answer doesn’t seem to come.

There can be various reasons for this, but the verse above holds the key to why some of them may not be given to us.

Actually, one word is the key: Abide

Abide: accept or act in accordance with (a rule, decision, or recommendation).

Abide can also mean to obey, to conform to, to heed, etc.

Once we understand the importance of this, abiding in Him and His words abiding in us, we can start to take steps toward making this happen in our lives.

To be clear, it’s not something legalistic or ritualistic. It’s a heart thing. It has to be sincere in its execution, not done with impure motives.

And in reality, if we are making efforts to grow our walk with God, this will all happen naturally, without us even giving it a thought.

So, let’s be sure that we are putting the time and effort into drawing closer to God each day, by spending time in His word and taking the time to communicate with Him personally.

And as we do this, so many other things will fall into place for us.

James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-4-18 – The Key to Answered Prayers

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of Jesus! 

We all pray for things. What we pray for varies greatly based on our situation and our needs. And we all hope that our prayers will be answered. And some of them do get answered. But how can our prayers be answered more consistently? 

That’s the topic of today’s video,  The Key to Answered Prayers. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Many of us have been taught that we should have someone pray for us, and then we just leave it there, as we wait on God to answer. But this isn’t what God teaches us. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Others have been taught that we should have someone lay hands on us. And then we sit back and wait. This also is not always correct. 

We hope today’s video will shed some light on some things that you may have questions about. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Trust God in all things and follow His leading.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-17-18

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Praise the name of our God! He has been faithful.

There have been many prayer requests come in during recent weeks. Some for healing, some regarding medical test results.

Some are job-related. Some are for upcoming surgeries. Many are for strength and direction to get through a specific situation.

Some are for marriage issues. Others are prayer requests for children, etc.

No matter what comes in, it is immediately lifted up to God. Why? Because He is our answer. He is our safe place and He can handle whatever we bring to Him.

We believe with all our hearts that He is answering you.

Maybe some of you have already gotten through and you are on the road to recovery in your situation. Please let us know if your answer has come or if you have anything else that you are in need of prayer for.

God is faithful! He will get you over this hump and onto a smoother path. Don’t give up. Hold on and press in with your faith. He’s not done yet.

And when He brings you through, don’t forget to thank Him. He looks forward to our thanks. Amen.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-7-17

Psalm 37:4 (NKJV) 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

My birthday was coming up and Pastor Curt was planning to take me for a guided sunset boat tour on the ocean. As we checked the weather forecast earlier in the week, it was calling for clouds and rain.

I wanted so badly to be able to go and just enjoy it. So, I asked God, in spite of the forecast and what everyone kept telling me, “if He would give me a nice day”.

The day came, and as I began to wake and open my eyes, I heard those words from my husband; Happy Birthday!

I looked outside immediately, with great excitement, and it looked pleasant. I knew that God had heard my thoughts, concerns and prayers and I was ever so grateful!

I continued on with my day, just thanking God. But I kept hearing people say there was some rain coming and it was supposed to be bad! Even the tour guide kept telling us to keep an eye out because we may have to cancel.

But, no rain all day long. Just pleasant weather.

As the evening approached and we were getting into the little boats to head out for our tour, I just kept thanking God for what He gave me and I was enjoying every second of it while it lasted.

The weather that evening turned out to be beautiful! Even the guides were amazed at how calm and peaceful it was.

Right before the sun began to set, the sky began to close up, as clouds moved in. I asked my husband where the sun would be setting and he pointed to it. There were no signs of the sun at all. Just clouds.

I still hoped for a sunset. But I was OK at this point with however it turned out, because the rest of my day was so beautiful and it hadn’t rained!

As the sky began to get dark and evening was setting in, the most amazing thing happened. We could see a little bit of the sun peeking through! Then it got bigger and bigger.

And we had one of the most amazing sunsets we had ever seen!

I testify today of God’s heart for us, to do good for us. That personal touch is there. We just have to go to God, and ask in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

John 16:24 (NKJV) 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-2-16

John 6:31 (NKJV) 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

God gave them bread from heaven. He made provision for them! He is a very personal, affectionate and intimate Father.

Can we look back at times and say, “yes, He has answered my prayer. When I was in need, He sent me my answer.”?

Our bread from heaven may have differed from what the Israelites needed because every situation is different. However, it still came.

Getting our answer from God is better than getting our answer from man. Most people have an agenda or motive and we may always feel like we owe them something in return. But when God does something for us and our answer comes from heaven, He is not looking for us to pay Him back. He is just asking for us to obey.

We have seen God answer many prayers in our lifetime and we look forward to seeing even more. It never gets old.

He is not going to ignore us, so we can’t get anxious and try to do it ourselves. He is going to put together the best answer and provision for us. In the meantime, rejoice and KNOW that He is working on our behalf. Walk in His peace today.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
