Bible Verse of The Day – 8-25-17

Hebrews 13:1 (NKJV) 13 Let brotherly love continue.

Today, as we sit here to put another Bible Verse and devotional message together, we are reminded of how devoted each one of you are.

Our hearts are humbled and we are ever so grateful for the love we receive from you, our brothers and sisters in Christ!

Going into this year, we had some things we were facing; things that we needed God to make provision for.

He told us to trust Him when we stepped out 8 years ago. He told us to trust Him when we decided to do what we felt He was calling us into. Not knowing how it would turn out, we stepped.

We passed up job opportunities that would take care of us and bring security. We passed up living in areas we would love to spend time in. Instead, we said yes to God.

This changed us for good. We had no idea that on the other side of this computer, you would be there. You were there waiting, listening and open to God for what He wanted to say and do through you.

He has used you to help us in this faith walk. You have been obedient in your giving and your sowing, both in your time of drought and in your time of feast! You have stepped out and obeyed. And God took care of our needs.

Thank you for helping us. Thank you for listening and stepping out, and for following what God has put in your hearts to do.

Together we will continue to reach this world with the message of the hope found in Christ. We will bring His hope, peace and love. We will stand together and help people find the truth, as we found ours. Amen

Here is our heartfelt prayer today.

Dear God in Heaven,

Bless these dear ones who have been ever so faithful, diligent and consistent, not only in their giving but in their walk with YOU. We know that You have blessed them for their obedience more than we could ever do. We pray Your protection over them.

And we pray for a burning desire in them to keep growing, keep obeying and keep walking close to You. Help them to keep trusting that as You guide them to take new steps, they never look back. That they just move forward in this journey You have them on, knowing You will be right there with them.

And we pray these things in the precious name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen

God bless you all. We are here for you!

Love and tight hugs to all of you from the bottom of our hearts.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-3-17

Ephesians 6:14 (NKJV) 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness…

Stepping up to the plate can sometimes be scary. There is no doubt about that. But if it is what God wants us to do, we need to take the step.

Many years ago, we were asked to step up to the plate and be the pillars of a crumbling church.

We had never done anything like that before. And at the time, we were hurting within ourselves after seeing what had taken place. We were in the midst of our own pain and sorrow. Our hearts were hurting from the damage that was done. It touched us in a very personal way.

When things happen to us personally, it can be hard to pick up the pieces and move on. It’s hard to be strong in these situations.

We ached so badly in our hearts. And our eyes were filled with tears. We couldn’t see a light at the end of a very dark tunnel. But, that is when God builds that muscle in us, to believe for what we can’t see.

It’s in those moments that we forgive, trust and keep going and do what needs to be done, even when we are hurting and in pain.

He brings beautiful things out of what seem to be terrible situations.

We just have to step up to the plate and stand, letting Him lead, before we get to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and the beauty that is waiting there for us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-3-17

John 9:6-7 (NKJV) 6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. 7 And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing

Sometimes there are certain steps we need to take to receive the healing or deliverance for our particular situation.

This man that was blind from birth was healed through Jesus spitting in the dirt and making clay, then anointing his eyes with it. The blind man then had to go to the place where Jesus told Him to go and wash it off. These were steps that needed to be taken by Jesus and by the blind man.

Are we giving up on receiving a miracle because we are afraid to take certain steps? Afraid of what people around us may think? Afraid of the outcome of it all?

Do we think Jesus worried or was the least bit concerned what people were thinking when He took two fish and the five loaves, feeding 5000 people and having 12 baskets left over?

I mean, think about it. Logic says it’s not possible. Logic says HOW? If we let logic dominate, it can and will say NO WAY, and talk us right out of the steps we need to take.

Matthew 14:18-21 (NKJV)18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. 20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. 21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Jesus stepped out and said no way to logic and YES to His FATHER in Heaven, who showed Him all things to do.

Some of us need to stop letting logic hold us back. God has a plan, and we need to be open to the things He is showing us to do, and let Him flow. Don’t let fear and logic stop us from letting God work through us.

Step out of the logic realm and follow His lead. He is faithful.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-27-16

Matthew 22:37 (NKJV) 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

Even though we may love God with all of our heart, and say we want to do what He wants us to do (and really mean it), we still have that nasty flesh to deal with. It plays with our thoughts, and our emotions and it can cause a war within our own mind at times.

It takes time and persistence to tame that flesh and cause it to be in alignment with God and His plan.

We have moments when we are all for His plan and then there are moments when we just want to throw in the towel and say we have no more energy or strength left. This is normal.

But the bottom line is, we don’t. We don’t walk away. We don’t throw in the towel and we don’t give in to the flesh.

Why? Because we love Him too much and we truly want what He wants.

So keep up the good work. Don’t give up.

Let God’s Spirit dominate!

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-13-15

Proverbs 19:20-21 (NKJV) 20 Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. 21 There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.

We may have thoughts and ideas of our own as to what we need to do at certain times. But we need to always remember to pray about it and ask God to confirm those ideas, making sure it is His will and plan for us.

Just because some things look, feel and sound good doesn’t necessarily mean it’s God’s plan.

Know that at times we may wrestle with the things that God would have us to do. It may not always be what we want to be doing, or the way we would like to be doing it.

This is normal, but if we submit to the Spirit, we will truly walk in His will for us and be blessed!

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
