Bible Verse of The Day – 12-23-18 – And Such Were Some of You – Part 2

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings!

As promised, we have published part 2 of last week’s video, And Such Were Some of You – Part 2.

In this week’s video, we talk about the specific types of sins that Paul was speaking to the Corinthian Christians about. We also discuss the impacts of those sins, and then we talk about how to get free from them.

God has provided a way of freedom for each one of us. We just have to follow Him and walk it out, one step at a time. It isn’t always easy, but with God’s guidance, we will break free of the bondage that we are in.

We hope you will take a few minutes and watch this, and then share it with others, as well.

Enjoy your day, and walk in the blessings of God along the way.

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-22-18

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

It’s important to be alert to what is going on around us. The thief that comes to steal from us is always on the prowl. But no matter what he tries to do, we can get through it as we let God show us the way to win.

Sometimes we feel discouraged and we wonder if there is even a point in trying anymore. It feels like one thing after the other. We just get through something and then we are hit again with something else.

But here’s the thing; There is a point.

1 John 4:4 (NKJV) 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

We are of God, and will come through it.

We have His greatness in us, working through us, to make sure of this. His hand can reach us and His plan for us stands, no matter what comes our way, as long as we hold onto Him tightly.

Don’t let the thief steal our joy, kill our hope, or destroy our faith. Stand on the promise of our Father. Take hold of His hand today, and walk.

Numbers 11:23 (NKJV) 23 And the Lord said to Moses, “Has the Lord’s arm been shortened? Now you shall see whether what I say will happen to you or not.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-16-18 – And Such Were Some of You – Part 1

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the mighty name of Jesus!

Many people, including believers, struggle with one sin or another that they just can’t seem to break free of, no matter how hard they try to do so.

Our latest video, And Such Were Some of You, talks about this, breaking it down and explaining what it takes to finally overcome and break free of these addictive behaviors.

God doesn’t want even one of us living in slavery to sin. He has done all that is necessary to give us freedom. We just need to know how to take hold of that freedom and break those chains once and for all.

Please take a few minutes to watch the video and share it with anyone else you feel can benefit from it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-29-18

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

When the thief comes and tries to knock us down, he will resort to some pretty low tactics.

For example, maybe we received negative news regarding our health, or a situation didn’t turn out the way we had hoped for. Maybe our kids are rebelling, or we lost our job, etc.

When these things are happening, we need to rebuke satan and his threats, in Jesus’ name.

Take whatever negative report we are getting and bring it to God. Talk to Him. Tell Him your concerns. He can turn things around. He can bring good things out of the worst situations, if we trust Him with it.

The Lord has come to give us life and to give it more abundantly! Amen. And living a life of fear is not abundant life. It’s just barely making it! Something needs to change.

In some situations, we may not even want to get out of bed because of what we have to face each day. God knows, though. And He is waiting on us to turn it over to Him. There is no way we can handle this stuff on our own, and God does not expect us to.

The sooner we realize this, the quicker things will start to turn around. That’s not saying that we will always see things happen right away with our natural eyes. But in the spiritual realm, things will begin to shift.

And as we press into God and trust Him with it, and we continue to obey His leading, walking out the steps He gives us, we will see things move in the natural also. And victory will eventually come.

Exodus 15:2 (NKJV) 2 The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-29-16

1 John 5:4 (NKJV) 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith.

We are born of God when our faith is in Jesus Christ our Lord, not in ourselves. That is when we overcome the obstacles in this world.

Do we have things going on right now that we have no idea how to fix, or how to get past? Are we looking at a huge opportunity right now but can’t see how it can happen in the natural? It’s in us, but we can’t birth it. We can’t make it happen on our own.

Ah. This is overcomer material. This is when we say, “OK, what are we doing Lord?” This is when look up and see only Him. We get focused in our prayer, in our reading or devotional time, and we surround ourselves with only those people that God brings in to help.

Are we needing to overcome something today?

1 John 5:5 (NKJV) 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Is our heart trusting in Him today?

Then follow His commandments and walk. He will lead us to victory no matter how big the problem is, what kinds of things we face or how big the mountain is that stands in the way.

Our faith will get us through. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-17-16

Romans 8:35-37 (NKJV) 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

We hear this quoted so very often. And so many times it’s used to paint a pretty picture or get us hyped up. Sometimes it’s used to try to help us forget about our problems and look beyond them for a moment.

And while these are noble efforts, and they can encourage us, we need to look at this verse in its entirety.

Yes, we are more than conquerors in Christ, here on earth, in our daily lives. The world can’t hold us back if we don’t let it. But these words mean so much more!

As with so much of God’s word, there are eternal implications that we need to consider too.

We will go through things here on earth. It’s a fact. Some of these things will not be pleasant. That’s also a fact. And some of these things might leave scars on us that last a lifetime; everlasting evidence of our earthly battles.

And while we will overcome most of our earthly obstacles, there may be some that don’t turn out quite the way we’d like them to.

But that’s OK! Why? Because God is still in control and if we hold fast to our faith, our eternal destiny isn’t altered by them.

So no matter what we come against, no matter what we face and no matter how many battle scars we acquire during our lifetime, the enemy will not win. He will not have us if we don’t let him.

Why? Because we are more than conquerors in Christ!!

So, today, as you face the Goliath in your life, be like David. Pick up a stone. Aim it with purpose. And slay that lousy giant, knowing that victory is yours in Jesus!

You are more than a conqueror for eternity.
