Bible Verse of The Day – 4-13-21

1 Kings 3:7 (NKJV) 7 Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.

Here, Solomon is asking the Lord to help him in the position that He set him up in. This is a very important detail.

The Lord had placed Solomon where he was. And Solomon is speaking to the Lord saying, “you have made me king, but I don’t understand how or what to do. Please help me, guide me and give me Your understanding to handle this position. The people of Israel are too numerous for me to handle and I need Your understanding to know how”.

1 Kings 3:8-9 (NKJV) 8 And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted. 9 Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”

Don’t ever be afraid to ask God how.

He expects us to come to Him and ask whatever we may need from Him.

If we are shy or too prideful to ask, we will risk losing what He has placed in our hands.

You see, just because He places us in a position or on a new job doesn’t mean it’s ours forever. Maybe He has given us something to handle and take care of for a season or time.

God will guide us as to what to do, and how He wants it to be carried out.

God is moving His children into areas and places we’ve never been before, doing things we have never dealt with before; new ground and unfamiliar territory.

We are not alone. God Himself is with us all the more. Call on His name for help and clarity.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-2-20

Philippians 4:6 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God…

With God, we do not demand or declare things to come.

But by a simple request, let it be made known to Him the things we are going through and the things we would like to see change. Then, we leave it in His hands, thank Him for whatever He does and the way He does it, bringing clarity and change to our situation.

There is a big difference between this and the way some are being taught today, being told that they can demand from God what they want done. This kind of teaching is off.

What does it mean to request something? It is an act of asking politely or formally for something. It does not necessarily mean we are going to get it, but it means we can request it.

Do not be anxious.

This is so important; anxiety is the first thing that hits us when we want something. We have to fight it off. We have to say no and push it down. We are to be anxious for nothing. But be prayerful, asking earnestly and humbly for the things we need.

Demanding of God to do things will not work.

Humbly ask Him and put our request before Him, and He will answer us accordingly. Be thankful for the answer He gives us, and trust that His answer is best for our situation.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-31-18

Matthew 7:7 (NKJV)7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

God tells us that if we ask we will have, if we seek we will find and if we knock it will be opened. The question is, “do we ask, do we seek and do we knock?”.

This was a very big lesson we had to learn. We would never ask God for anything. We would just wait and see what He would do. Even if we were in a critical situation, we would just wait, wait and wait some more.

We were patient in this area, but we weren’t doing everything we were told to do. We weren’t asking, seeking and knocking. How many of us do that today? We just sit and wait and see what God will do.

We think because God knows everything about us that we shouldn’t have to ask.

Wrong! We need to ask. And one of the things we have learned is that we need to be specific with our asking.

Once we learned how to ask, we would be very shy and reserved about it. We would only ask for exactly what we and others needed. That was it. Nothing else! I guess we didn’t want to put God out, so to speak.

But, one day during my prayer time I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to lift up my desires as well. I struggled with this, and I even argued with Him. Don’t argue with the Holy Spirit. He always wins.

He showed me that as long as my desires lined up with the will of God for me, and as long as they weren’t going to hurt me, it was OK to ask for more than just exactly what we needed. He has proven to us that He loves to help us with the desires of our hearts.

He loves to see us succeed and move forward. He loves to bless us!

We’d like to remind each and every one of you today, as we obey God with everything that He blesses us with, that we also give back to Him a tenth of it.

As long as we are diligent and faithful to Him, putting Him first, He will take care of our every need. He will protect us and give us the desires of our heart.

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

That doesn’t mean we can be silly or excessive in our asking, but be prayerful. God will show us what we need and what desires are good for us. He will give us wisdom even in our asking. Amen.

Have a lovely day. You are blessed to be a blessing!

Proverbs 11:25 (NLT) 25 The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-20-17

John 14:13 (NKJV) 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

Are we asking or are we just waiting? If we are asking then the answer is here, or it’s in the works as we believe.

If we are just waiting to see what God will do and we haven’t asked Him for whatever it is that we may need or want, then it is what it is. Nothing is happening. We can’t blame it on God if we don’t follow directions.

We may say, “well, I don’t want to ask Him because there are many people who are worse off than I am. They need the help more than we do”. So does this mean that God must only have a small inventory, a limited supply?

It’s up to us to follow commands, not make them.

This is not a prosperity teaching. This is about learning how to ask God to help get us out of what we got ourselves into. And it’s about being relieved from bondage; the things that hold us down and keep us from entering into all that God wants from us and for us. We have to get free from those things that put distance between us and God.

You see, if we have bondage then we are not able to walk out the plan that God has for us to its fullest. We may do a little here and a little there, as time allows but never as fully as we could if we weren’t in bondage to other things.

Bondage to anything spells captivity. That thing takes up the time that would otherwise be available for us to do the things God may have for us to do, even if all He asks us to do is to sit at His feet and rest. If God wants us to take the time to do it, we have to be able to say, “yes God, I am here”.

Some of us today are not in a place to be able to do this. But, that doesn’t mean it has to stay this way. It just means we need to fix it, by asking God for help.

God wants all of us, not just a little piece of us. He wants us to be free to move when He asks us to. He wants our minds to be clear and rested, not stressed and overwhelmed.

If we are stuck owing everyone something, like our time, our money, and our energy, then we have not made ourselves available for Him. We are slaves to our own plan.

It’s time to start asking God to help us get completely free of the things that we are in bondage to.

The first step is to understand that God expects us to come to HIM for help and ask. We ask through the precious name of His perfect Son, Jesus Christ.

It’s important that, before we ask, we get His understanding and knowledge on what will be good for us to ask for. Sometimes we may already know. But if for some reason we don’t, we shouldn’t just start rambling things off that we think we need.

Let Him guide us in our prayers. Let it be serious and focused. And take notes. Pay attention to every detail, and be expectant.

Remember, it is God’s will to help us. It is His will to give to us as we ask. We don’t ask so that we may prosper in our own way, or for selfish reasons.

Our goal should be that He can have MORE of us and be glorified through us.

That’s why we ask. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-9-15

Psalm 57:2(NKJV) 2 I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me.

Are we that person that doesn’t like to let anyone help us, not even God? Do we want to do it all on our own? Do we have to be able to say, “there, I did it all by myself”?

It’s ok to be able to say this at times, but it shouldn’t be something we say when we really should have asked for help.

That way of thinking will only hurt us even more if we don’t balance it out with what God’s word tells us to do.

We do need to be responsible and do some things on our own. We definitely need to take the initiative in some things and get the job done without having to ask for help.

But, there are those things that come up and we need to know that we’d better ask for help. We need to acknowledge the fact, like that saying goes, we may be in way over our heads. In other words, it’s just too much and we need HELP!

We were not made to do everything on our own.

We can ignore the facts, and keep pushing through in areas where we know we should ask for help. But we will begin to notice certain things will take a hit because of it. Whether our health, our family, or even our relationship with Christ, etc. Most times we will suffer and others around us will, as well.

Please don’t ever be afraid to ask for help. It’s a sign of maturity, wisdom and humility.
