Bible Verse of The Day – 10-16-24

Ephesians 3:20-21 (NKJV) 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

God is much bigger and more powerful than we can fathom.

Our finite human minds can barely begin to grasp who He really is in His fullness.

As His children, we must be careful not to put God in a box that is smaller than He can fit in.

What does that mean?

It means that we need to be careful that we don’t believe Him for less than He can do.

Jeus spoke the words, “your faith has made you well” on more than one occasion.

This is critical for us to understand.

Yes, Jesus was the One who healed these people. But it was their faith that made their healing possible!

And so it is with so many things about our own lives. God can do much more than we can comprehend with our natural minds, so we must ask Him to help us believe by His Spirit.

This is not easy, especially when we are young believers. But as we grow, and we learn of Him (by spending time in His word), our faith should grow. And as that faith grows, we will see Him move on our behalf in ways that we never thought possible.

So, let us begin to trust Him wholly. Let us ask Him to help us with our doubt and unbelief. And watch as He opens our spiritual eyes to who He is and what He can do!

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-16-21

Luke 1:34 (NKJV) 34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”

In verse 31 of this chapter, an angel came to Mary and told her that she would conceive in her womb and bring forth a Son, and His name would be Jesus.

How can this be?

Notice that Mary did not ask if this could be. She wanted to know how, expressing her concerns based on her current situation. How can this be, seeing that I have not been with a man?

Her intellect was trying to understand all of this. She believed God could do it. She was just curious as to how.

Luke 1:38 (NKJV) 38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

There will be things in life that we will not necessarily understand how they can happen if we look at them based on our own understanding.

But God is able to do above and beyond all that we know!

Maybe we are in a certain season right now, and we feel completely lost and don’t know how things are going to turn around.

Remember this one verse; “Let it be according to your word”!

God knows how and when to carry out His plans in our lives. We just have to make sure we don’t get stuck in the uncertainties.

If we can learn to do this, we will watch it be birthed. A miracle is easy for Him!

Make sure that we don’t get stuck in the “how can it be?”.

It’s OK to ask. But be sure to trust God to do whatever it is He is showing us. Then we need to continue to take the necessary steps to get there, or keep on believing Him even if we don’t see any steps in front of us to take.

Have faith. If Mary did not believe in what the angel spoke to her on that day, she would not have been the one to give birth to our savior.

If God is saying something to us, and we don’t quite understand how it can be, don’t doubt Him. Ask Him to give you the understanding, and let Him do it His way and in His timing. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-9-21

Daniel 6:23 (NKJV) 23 Now the king was exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no injury whatever was found on him, because he believed in his God.

Daniel was in this den with the lions all night. The lions did not hurt him. He was not injured in any way.

Why?

Because Daniel believed in his God!

Do we believe in our God today?

Are we in trouble? Are we facing a den full of hungry lions? Are the walls closing in on us, and we feel the fear and pressure of what could possibly happen?

Is our mind screaming, “There is no way out of this one.”?

So many today only have to do one thing to fix their predicament, but they think that one thing is ridiculous. Because of this, they haven’t even considered it. They think that one thing is of the past or only for the “Bible days”.

The stories in the Bible aren’t just for us to simply read. They aren’t for us to take lightly and say, “well, God did it for them because they are special. That stuff doesn’t happen today”.

That is wrong.

They are lessons and examples of God’s might, power and love for us! They are written to show us how faithful God was for them, and still is for us!

How many of us today can believe God?

Can we walk out the process that God is leading us into, in order to experience the deliverance that needs to come

Daniel believed God.

He was still put in a den with lions. This was the place he needed to be in for his deliverance to come. And he kept his belief in God strong, no matter what he was facing.

What lion are we facing today, and what den have we been thrown into?

Don’t give up and start doubting God. Believe, and keep believing. Stand strong in times like this.

He will shut their mouths and you shall be found innocent.

Daniel 6:22 (NKJV) 22 My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.”

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-8-18

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

It was April, 1970. I was 7 years old.

I woke up on a Sunday morning and noticed that I was having trouble breathing. Every time I took a breath, it wasn’t only hard to do, but it also sounded funny. It made strange squeaking, whistling noises.

It was something I had never experienced before. But it was something that I would live with for the next 30 years.

My parents took me to the doctor. It was asthma, we were told. It was incurable, we were told. And we left it at that. For 30 years.

But God had other plans. He knew the truth of it all.

With men, this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

I carried the lie. I struggled with asthma attacks, tried so many different kinds of medication, went through so many medical tests. For 30 years.

My life was limited by what I carried. I couldn’t live my life to its fullest potential. My sports activities were limited. My social activities were limited. And eventually, my interactions with my wife and my children were limited by this lie.

But then one day God spoke directly to my spirit. He told me that I had bought a lie, and that this lie didn’t have to control me any longer.

And I believed Him. I believed what He told me. And He set me free from that lie. Forever.

God told me that I could be free from this prison cell called Asthma. He offered me the key, and I reached for it with everything in me! And He used that key to unlock the prison cell and set me free from it. After 30 years.

God healed my body, set me free, and delivered me from this spirit of infirmity. That was over 18 years ago, and I have never looked back.

The doctors told me it was impossible. But with God, all things are possible.

What is your prison today? Sickness? Emotional struggles? Poverty? Depression? Anger? Bitterness?

There could be an endless list. But God knows them all. Every single one. And He knows which one is holding you prisoner.

What’s more, He holds the key that can set you free from it.

It’s up to us to reach out, take that key, and then follow the steps that God places before us.

Those steps lead to freedom, in the name of Jesus.

It’s up to us. We can believe the lie, or we can believe Him who holds the key.

With men, this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Believe and Receive - What Does The Bible Say?Greetings in the name of Jesus, 

We hope you are enjoying your day and walking in the blessings of God.

We just published a new video that explores this topic, and we’d love to have you watch it! 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

The implication of this phrase is usually that all we have to do is believe God for something and it will just happen. 

But what does God’s word say about this? Is what we’ve all been hearing really true? 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Recording this video was a lot of fun and we feel like it’s very informative in many different ways, so we do hope you will take a few minutes out of your day and watch it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-25-17

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

We may feel like our hardest times are upon us. We can’t see past what is in front of us. It seems huge and we are tired, drained and feeling like it is a lost battle.

So many times, we have prayed and asked God for the answer and we are discouraged because, to the natural eye, there appears to have been no change. We are still here and we are beginning to doubt God and His promises.

Look up today. Don’t spend one more moment looking at the situation in front of us. When we open our heart up and look to Him, when we call out to Him, He hears our voice. He is working things out.

It may not seem like anything is happening or changing, but behind the scenes God is on the move on our behalf.

So, what is our job?

We need to begin to thank Him, praise Him and rejoice because we know Who our Deliverer is! Wait quietly and hold fast to His hand. He will not fail us. He is there. He will make our path clear.

Psalm 34:17 (NKJV) 17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-30-17

Psalm 89:8 (NKJV) 8 O Lord God of hosts, Who is mighty like You, O Lord? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.

God is faithful to help us ordinary people do great things on this earth, and still remain humble.

Here are just a few examples…

If Joseph didn’t do his part, if Mary didn’t do her part, if John the Baptist didn’t do his part, where would we be today? These were just ordinary people following God’s plan with their hearts.

You see, Joseph’s part was to believe what God was doing in Mary. This child of the Holy Spirit, this child who would come and save us from our sins, was in his soon-to-be wife’s belly. He had to believe and accept that it was as he had been told. It took an angel to convince him, but he accepted it.

After the child was born, he had to follow God’s steps in keeping Him safe and protected. Right from the beginning, his son was sought after. Herod wanted Him dead. In order to keep Him alive, Joseph had to listen to God and obey Him, taking the necessary steps to keep his Son alive.

Mary’s part was to accept God’s word for her, that she would be pregnant by the seed of the Holy Spirit and carry God’s Son, Jesus Christ.

She had to believe that she would be impregnated without ever being intimately involved with a man. That takes faith!

John the Baptist was to be a witness for Jesus, telling people about Him before anyone knew who He was. He was a ground breaker, so to speak. He was a preparer; someone who puts his reputation on the line. And he couldn’t care less what people thought about him.

The birth and preparation of our Messiah took place through God speaking to ordinary people like you and I. All they did was believe and obey.

We ask the question; do we know what God is speaking to our hearts today? Believe Him, listen for the steps, and obey. He is faithful to see it through! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-22-16

Matthew 13:58 Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

The He that they are referring to in this verse is Jesus. Because of their unbelief, Jesus did not do mighty works there in that area.

It’s important that we understand that unbelief will cause us to miss out on seeing mighty works done, in the church, in our homes, in our lives and in our town. Unbelief will hold back the mighty works of Jesus Christ.

Mighty works come, and change happens when we believe Jesus for them. We can’t do them on our own.

A Pastor, Priest, Evangelist, etc. can not do them on their own and we can not talk ourselves into making it happen.

Jesus Christ needed the people to believe if they wanted to see mighty works done.

If we are in need today of a mighty work of God, whether in our own lives, or maybe others we see around us, but we are struggling with unbelief, ask God for help.

Mark 9:24 (NKJV) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

He is willing to help us. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-12-16

John 4:50 (NKJV) 50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

Jesus spoke His WORD to this man and the man took Him at it and BELIEVED Him.

This man implored Jesus, meaning he made a very serious or emotional request to Him.

How serious are we when it comes to getting Jesus’ help? Are we STILL trying to fix things on our own and then blaming Him because nothing has changed?

This is huge, because in this verse there is a need. The man’s son needs healing or he will die.

John 4:47 (NKJV) 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

It is a life-threatening need.

What are we going through today? Maybe we are facing a life-threatening situation as well. Maybe with ourselves, or a loved one? Maybe our marriage is falling apart, or our relationship with our children needs help, etc. Maybe we are up against something very hard and we need His WORD for our situation.

But, it doesn’t stop there, we can not just get a word and that’s it. We have to do what this man did and believe. We have to believe HIS word, BEFORE we see the results.

Here it is…The man did not know his son was healed, but he believed Jesus’ word. It was after, when he arrived home that they told him.

John 4:52 (NKJV) 52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”

The same hour that he believed!!

John 4:53 (NKJV) 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household.

Some of us are on the fence, waiting to SEE the results before we completely believe. It’s not going to happen that way. Believing comes first.

First, we need to make a very serious request for Jesus’ word for our situation. Very serious; that means even if we don’t like what we know or hear, we must submit to it and follow it out. Second, believe that it will be done according to His word and what He shows us, even before we see the results.

If we want His results, we must hear it and believe it!

May His healing be upon you, your life, your situation and all that you are dealing with today. Amen.
