Bible Verse of The Day – 8-26-21

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

We need this verse written on our hearts today. We are going to need to be very strong in the up-and-coming days. That is, stronger than we ever have known ourselves to be.

The good news is that God is for us!

Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Believers, He is with us!

His Spirit is in us and He will guide us. The strength we will walk in will be more than our own strength alone.

It will be Him moving through our veins. We will have His courage to do things we never would have thought we’d have to do.

But know this; no matter where we go or end up, He goes with us. We are not alone. This is not our battle, but HIs. We are just walking it out alongside Him.

Why?

1 John 4:19 (NKJV) 19 We love Him because He first loved us.

Because He loved us first, we love Him to the end and we will stand for Him.

Don’t be afraid of the things we see and hear these  days. It’s all part of what God has told us would take place. And only God knows the road ahead.

Stay strong and pray for one another. We stand united. Amen.

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

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-26-21

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid.

When God spoke these words to Joshua, He was preparing the people of Israel to cross over the Jordan river to capture and inhabit the land that He had set aside for them.

He knew they would need to be strong and courageous if they were to do what He needed them to do.

Today, we also need to be strong and courageous.

No, we’re not necessarily preparing to invade a land and inhabit it.

But we are in a place where we need to be bold and ready to stand for God’s truth.

As with the people under Joshua’s leadership, we are entering a “foreign land” in the sense that we are now treading where we haven’t stepped before. We are dealing with things that we have never had to deal with before.

Each day we learn new things as we see events happening around us that are plainly evil in their origins.

And in all of this, we have a choice; we stand up to it or we sit and be quiet.

We have to let the Holy Spirit lead us with regard to whether to stand or be silent. There will be times for both.

As with the Israelites, sitting silently when we should be acting with courage can lead to consequences that aren’t pleasant.

If God has called us to possess the land, so to speak, we need to be warriors with great courage (which comes from God), and be bold in our conquest to accomplish it.

We need to let God lead us and teach us. He is faithful to do both.

We just have to be willing to follow and obey.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-14-18

Romans 8:25 (NKJV) 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

One of the hardest things to do is to persevere when we are in a battle. Most times we are already tired and weary. All we want to do is crash somewhere, let someone else take over, close our eyes and go to sleep.

How many of us know that feeling? Just let me sleep it off, and when I wake up maybe it will be gone.

If we want to put this battle behind us, we must win. It’s not time to lay down and rest or take a break. It’s time to stand and keep on standing until we get our answer, our breakthrough.

Maybe we are in a situation today that has us feeling like we can’t think straight. Our mind is all worn out and our body is feeling beaten down from the emotional stress of it all. God wants to personally show us how we can go further than we’ve ever thought of going.

He wants to renew and refresh us with His strength, His Might and His power. He wants to keep us going. We can’t lay down yet; not until we reach that point where we have the peace of God in us, speaking loud and clear, saying, “It’s over”.

Receive His strength today to keep on going.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come to you in the name of your precious Son, Jesus Christ, and we ask Lord for your strength to keep us going. Give us the strength we need today to move forward and to press in and persevere. We want to finish this battle and be done with it once and for all. We want to put it behind us and look at the better days that You have, not far away. We know that You are faithful and diligent in all Your ways. It is us, Father, that is weak. Please forgive us for allowing our weakness to take over and almost cause us to give up. We know now that we need You to help us to persevere today. Please strengthen us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-25-14

Ephesians 6:10 (NKJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

Every week we receive emails, and sometimes phone calls, from people who are struggling or going through trials and tough times.

And although we are pastors, and we teach God’s word and encourage people on a daily basis, we are not immune to some of those same trials. We all face things from time to time that try to knock us down and keep us from moving forward with God.

It’s because we have also gone through trials that we have learned how to press in to God and be strong in Him when our own strength seems spent. It’s because we have gone through hard times in many different ways that we can empathize with all of you and relate to where you’re at, and offer counsel based on our own experiences.

And it’s because we have walked through these hard times and come through them victoriously that we can tell all of you to be strong in Him and in His might.

You see, when we have been knocked down and our face is in the dirt, it’s then that we need to realize that God is the one who gives us what we need to push through and keep going.

Our own strength is limited and will run out after a while. But His strength will never fail us. He will never abandon us or leave us to wither and die.

It’s when we’re at our weakest that we need to look up and reach out to Him and grab hold of Him with everything in us, and draw our strength from Him.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness”…

It’s when we’re at our weakest that His strength shines, if we let it!

So we encourage you, no matter where you’re at right now, in this moment, to hold fast to your faith, and never let go.

Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Maybe we can’t do this. At least not on our own. But we can do it with God’s help, if we don’t let go of our faith.

Let’s hold fast to our faith!
