Bible Verse of The Day – 8-4-18

Matthew 16:15-16 (NKJV) 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

He was the Christ, the Son of the living God! He lived among man and He was perfect. He was pure. He was righteous and miraculous in His life here!

The work that was done through Jesus Christ was done solely by the power of the Holy Spirit.

John 1:32 (NKJV) 32 And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.

The Holy Spirit remained upon Jesus throughout His work here on this earth.

It is impossible for any man or woman to minister, in the way God has intended for us, without the anointing of the Holy Spirit. And it is impossible to live the life God has intended for us individually without the Holy Spirit moving through us.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

We need our Helper. We need to be taught, prompted and reminded constantly throughout our day of the things we need to hear, do and say.

Some of us have been trying so hard to get things right. Our hearts are willing, but we keep failing because we lack what it will take to get it done. It takes the Holy Spirit.

Today, ask Him to come and help us in our decisions, in our trials, in our raising and training up of our children, in our ministry and in our everyday walk.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-28-18

Psalm 31:3 (NKJV) 3 For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me.

Becoming a Christian happens when we truly believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah, and that He came to save us from our sins.

His death on the cross was for one purpose; to save us from our sinful nature. He made it possible for us to have a relationship with God, His Father, and live eternal life in Heaven. Praise be to God!!

Walking daily with Jesus is different than life was without Him. After we become a Christian, we have to decide to allow our relationship with Him to grow deeper. This happens when we open ourselves up to the Holy Spirit, our Helper, and allow Him to come and help guide us each day. He guides us in our prayers and He helps us keep our eyes open and be discerning. This keeps us alert.

Mark 14:38 (NKJV) 38 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

You know how much more we can see when we yield to the Holy Spirit? He has a way of clearing our vision when we yield our eyes and ears to Him. Things get done when we walk by the Spirit, versus walking by the flesh. The verse above says that our flesh is weak. And this is very true.

The flesh is full of itself, and it has no room for anything or anyone else. It’s selfish. It will make decisions based on what it wants, putting itself first and above everything else.

The Spirit is out to help us in any way He can. His agenda is to fix things and make them right. With Him we are quick to discern right from wrong.

Sometimes we don’t have a lot of time to make a decision. It needs to be made quickly, accurately and in that moment. The Holy Spirit will guide us in making the right move.

Our walk is so much more complete when we give Him room to help.

John 14:16 (NKJV) 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-31-17

Matthew 1:21 (NKJV) 21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

Notice in the verse above that it says, “His” people.

Who are His people? His people are all those who believe and trust in Him as their Messiah. It’s sad, but not all people will accept Him or His gift of salvation.

Jesus asked Peter, “who do you say that I am?”.

Mark 8:29 (NKJV) 29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ.”

This had been revealed to Peter by the Holy Spirit, not because of intellectual understanding or logic.

It is important that we don’t just know who Jesus is intellectually, by reading and studying about Him, but that we know Him personally.

We do this by accepting the free gift of salvation, and then by listening for and following His direction and correction in our life. We walk with Him daily, acknowledging that He is with us and understanding that He wants to be a part of what we do.

We might ask how. How do we have this personal relationship with Him? How is He with us?

After Jesus left this earth, His Father did a wonderful thing for us all. He sent the Holy Spirit, our Helper. The Holy Spirit knows all things. But we have to be sensitive to Him and give Him a place within us to live and to be free to move, in order for Him to work.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

He will remind us of the right things to do. He will help us with discipline and strength when we need it. He will give us the determination to stick with things when our flesh wants to give up.

There is so much He will do to help us. Even in those seemingly small and insignificant situations that we get ourselves into, they are important to Him and He wants to help us sort them out.

The Holy Spirit will help us have a personal, one-on-one relationship with Jesus Christ.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-19-17

Luke 11:13 (NKJV) 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

It’s a fact that we need the Holy Spirit if we want to be guided and led by God. The Holy Spirit is the One who will guide us in all truth.

Here’s an example of how He works in our lives. Someone comes up to us and starts to talk to us. They tell us things, and some of what they are saying may be true. We listen and we think in our minds “they seem legit in what they are saying”.

But, it is the Holy Spirit who helps us to discern things on a deeper level; things we can’t see or know on the surface, including the real motive or agenda behind something.

Without Him and His guidance we can fall for a lot of things that seem right on the surface but are off in some way.

That’s why people, including Christians, go through some of the stuff we go through. If we will let the Holy Spirit guide us, we won’t have to go through some of the trials and problems we experience.

The thing we have to understand is that the Holy Spirit will come when we ask God for Him. And He will move in us, and on our behalf, when we give Him the freedom to do so.

But if we never ask for Him and we don’t give Him room to move, then we can’t expect Him to be able to help us.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-21-16

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Have we been trying to do everything ourselves? Has our life been made up of everything that we know to do on our own power, using our own understanding? Have we ever once given God the OK to lead us in accomplishing anything?

How will we ever see God’s hand, His miracles, blessings or breakthroughs if we are always leaving Him out?

Well, we say, “God gave us a brain”. Yes, He definitely did. But there are times that the brain needs help. Where did the brain get Adam and Eve the day they ate the fruit and were kicked out of the garden (Genesis 3:1-7 NKJV)?

Where did that brain get Samson when Delilah shaved his head and took his power (Judges 16:16-20 NKJV)?

Where did that brain get David when he saw Bathsheba, another man’s wife, bathing on the rooftop and committed adultery with her? (2 Samuel 11: 2–4 NKJV)?

When it comes to temptation, the brain is weak. The brain needs the help that God has offered to us. It needs the strength, wisdom, power and understanding of the Holy Spirit. It needs to be able to push back temptation and say NO!

God’s Spirit will help us in every situation.

Many of us have fallen at different times because we were too stubborn, ignorant or full of pride, and we didn’t ask God for His Helper.

Get help today. Ask God for His Helper, the Holy Spirit, to help us and guide us in all things; even those things we think we can handle. Amen!!

John 14:16 (NKJV) 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever…

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-22-16

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.

Love God with everything!!  

How can we show God that we love Him? What makes Him pleased in us and the things we do?

When we simply obey Him. When we study and follow His word to the best of our ability, and let the Holy Spirit be our Helper and guide us through, one day at a time.

The Holy Spirit will help guide us on what to do, what to say and how to worship Him.

John 4:23 (NKJV) 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

God has equipped us with everything we need to love and worship Him with all that we are.

He is seeking us to worship Him!
