Bible Verse of The Day – 4-8-19

Philippians 4:19 (NKJV) 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

If there is one thing that I have learned over the years, it’s this; God is faithful.

It doesn’t matter what we face, God is always the One we can count on. He doesn’t get scared and run. He doesn’t get mad and turn His back. He doesn’t forget His promises.

So many of us spend so many hours of our lives worrying needlessly. Yes, at the time when we’re worrying, whatever we’re worrying about seems pretty big to us. And some of the things we worry about might actually be big.

But God is always bigger. Period.

Why is it so hard for us to remember that when we’re face to face with a trial, a dilemma or a “monster” of some kind that’s threatening to swallow us up?

That may seem like a rhetorical question. But it’s not. It’s an honest question that we all need to try to answer if we’re going to learn to let our faith and trust in God be tested and, ultimately, to grow.

When a need arises, no matter what kind of need it is, God is able. He can supply it. The notion or idea that He can’t isn’t even a possibility.

Let’s work hard at getting our heads and our hearts to grasp this awesome truth, and then live it out.

My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory, by Christ Jesus!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-31-19 – The Manna

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

Manna is something that we don’t think of much in today’s world. But it’s the topic of our newest video, The Manna.

In this new video we talk about the test that the Israelites were given by God when He covered the ground with manna each morning for them to gather.

Did they pass the test? And how about us? Do we pass God’s “manna test” in our own lives?

Walk closely with Him in everything.

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-13-19

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

As we walk through life we can face some pretty tough obstacles; things that might feel like they will rip our guts out.

These kinds of things will often have us questioning what we should do, which direction we should go. They might even cause us to question our faith. Not so much whether we believe or not, but whether we trust God fully with our situation.

These kinds of situations could range from problems within our family, to the loss of a loved one, severe financial distress, serious health challenges, and many more. It can vary widely from one person to the next.

But no matter what it is, the feeling of desperation and despair can be the same. It can cause us to feel completely hopeless sometimes.

So, what do we do? How do we handle this in a way that will actually help us?

Well, it’s not always the easiest thing to do, but the only real way to get relief is to stop trying to figure it all out and look to God for His understanding. And how exactly do we do that?

We acknowledge Him in everything. We put Him first, even before the very problems that are plaguing us. And we begin casting those cares upon Him, instead of trying to carry them ourselves.

1 Peter 5:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

In time, as we lean more on Him and less on our own understanding, we will begin to feel the weight of our burdens getting lighter, and our stress becoming less noticeable.

Then, as we listen for His leading, we are more able to hear Him and take the steps He is ordering us to take as He “directs our path”.

As we mentioned above, it’s not always easy to get started, but once we begin to get it, it will become more and more natural to us, and we will learn how to do this each and every day.

Trust Him.

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-21-18

Acts 16:25-26 (NKJV) 25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.

Where does prayer and singing come from when all is going wrong? It comes from His Spirit that lives, moves and breathes in us. It rises above our circumstances and our situations.

When we are in a predicament and we can’t see the light, what direction to go or the reason why we are even going through it, we need to stop trying to figure it out. That is the biggest distraction the devil will use on us.

Put it aside and start praying and singing to God. Start thanking Him that He is going to see us through it.

Whatever is going on right now, He knew it was going to take place before it even happened. He has a plan and we need to let Him work it out.

Can we find a song within us? Can we stop trying to figure things out long enough to let it rise up? Can we push back the voices and the lies that try to cause us to go deeper and deeper into depression or wear ourselves out with anxiety?

Paul and Silas had just been beaten with rods and thrown into prison. For what? They had done nothing wrong, (Acts 16:16-24).

They couldn’t spend time thinking and pondering about it. They had to go beyond what their bodies were feeling, and what they were thinking, in order to let the Spirit of God turn it around for them.

They let Him continue to work in them even through their physical pain and tattered emotions. By doing so, not only did God set them free, but He brought deliverance to others that were around them.

The prison guard and his whole household were saved!

How we act in a time of crisis, hardship or mistreatment is crucial. As believers, we must be strong in God and let Him guide us and show us the proper way to carry ourselves, despite the unfair treatment we may be enduring.

We don’t know the victory that will come from it, not only for us, but others that are involved.

Lift up our voices today. Pray and sing. It will break those chains supernaturally and open the doors to freedom!! Amen.

Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV) 1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-19-18 – Wind and Waves

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of our wonderful savior, Jesus. 

The apostle Peter was the one we all know for walking on the water, as Jesus had urged him to do. Peter defied gravity and stepped onto the surface of the water, walking toward Jesus. 

He did well until he saw the wind and the waves. 

In today’s video we talk about wind and waves, and how they impact our lives. 

Please click to watch the video now. 

Most times the wind and waves in our lives aren’t actual wind and waves. Instead, they are the things that we come up against in our everyday lives that try to get us to take our eyes off God. 

Please click to watch the video now. 

As long as we keep our eyes on God, we can do anything He asks us to do. But the moment we begin to look at the wind and the waves, we lose our focus, and we will begin to sink. 

Please click to watch the video now. 

We do hope you will take a few minutes to watch this video. It’s fun, informative and eye-opening for all of us. 

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-21-18

Psalm 9:10 (NKJV) 10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Knowing that we have Someone to turn to is very comforting.

We have Someone to listen to us, Someone to hold us and carry us through this life when things can sometimes get complicated. We are truly blessed with having Him by our side at all times!

He is our Lord, our Savior, our Christ.

When life gets hard, know that it’s OK to cry. It’s OK to have a moment of time when we can just throw ourselves in Papa’s arms and ask Him to carry us through. We reach a point where we just say, ”I’ll do what you say. Just lead me”.

When these times come upon us we can run away from God, or we can run to Him. We can be discouraged and depressed, or we can get excited knowing that we have Someone to help us!

Don’t give up when faced with trials. This is our time to rise above whatever it is that we face, with God’s help!!

It’s our moment in life to watch Him shine as we rest fully in Him.

Psalm 18:1 (NKJV) 18 I will love You, O Lord, my strength.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-14-18

Matthew 18:2-3 (NKJV) 2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

We often hear the phrase “childlike faith”. Truthfully, though, the actual phrase “childlike faith” is not found anywhere in the Bible.

Despite that fact, the principle of childlike faith really is there in the verses above.

Jesus called a little child over to Him and used children to make a point; unless we are converted and “become like little children”, we will never enter into the kingdom of God.

To the casual observer, this might not seem like much. But, honestly, this is a very deep, extremely important Biblical truth.

What does this mean and why is it so important to our walk with God?

Because God wants us to look to Him and trust Him as a little child trusts their earthly father.

Think about it. As children grow up, they trust their parents without reservation and without fear. They just know that if they have a need that it will be met. If they are hurting, they will be comforted. If they are hungry, they will be fed. If they are cold, they will be warmed up.

As we grow up, we learn to become self-sufficient. We no longer depend on our parents. We take care of ourselves. We provide for ourselves and our needs.

Sadly, we also tend to do this with God. We grow up as believers and we tend to leave Him behind because we think we have everything it takes to live our lives. But this isn’t how He intends it to be.

God wants us to look to Him just as we looked to our earthly parents when we were small children, trusting Him for absolutely everything about our lives.

He wants us to let Him supply our needs, to comfort us when we’re hurting and to feed us when we’re hungry.

This doesn’t mean that we simply sit back and wait for God to do everything for us. It means that we look to Him to lead us and show us which way to go and how to do what is needed to accomplish the things that need to be accomplished in order for us to be nurtured, cared for, sustained and comforted.

As adults, this takes a lot of practice. It requires us to allow God to tear down all of the walls that we have built between us and Him. It requires that we stop trying to be so self-sufficient, trying to handle everything ourselves, even as He is reaching out and trying to help us.

But as we take the time to get into His word and let His word get into us, He will begin to undo all of the fears and hang-ups that we have that cause us not to trust Him.

And instead, He will teach us how to trust Him as a child trusts their earthly parents, with no hesitation and no reservations.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-24-18

Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Opening ourselves up to God and letting Him show us what He wants to do through us is the beginning of a new journey in life.

Things will happen differently than how we would normally expect them to. It won’t be the same. But, with the change there will also be a peace that surpasses all understanding.

That peace is what will carry us through and cause us to keep pressing in. Even though things are different now, and we don’t know what to expect at times, there is such a peace that only God can give us.

That peace will help us persevere in some of the scariest moments, taking steps we would never have expected to take in our lifetime.

We can all have such a personal and intimate journey with Him. We don’t have to have a special title. We don’t have to be a pastor, priest, evangelist, or missionary to walk with God like this. No.

Certain types of people would have us think differently, to keep us coming back and depending on them. But, God wants us to have full dependency on Him and Him alone; Full trust and leaning on Him.

Yes, sometimes God will guide us to a leader to help us find our way, or to get clarity or confirmation on something. But let Him guide us to who He wants to have help us. Even in that, we may find ourselves being led to someone we would have never expected, to give us the answers we need.

God has a life for each one of us to live. Go to Him the way you are now and line up with the direction He wants you to go. Begin taking one step at a time, in faith. He will unfold it as we obey each step.

God is limitless. Don’t let our heads hold us back. Don’t let what others say hold us back. Don’t let tradition, or having to do things a certain way all the time, hold us back.

Let God lead, and we follow. Go for it. Line up and trust Him with our lives! Amen.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-1-18

Psalm 91:1-2 (NKJV) 91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”

Many times, we go through way more stress and struggle than is necessary.

Life will always throw stuff at us that can be hard to bear, hard to go through. But we can get through it without getting so beat up all the time. It’s all in how we choose to face it that determines whether we come through it unscathed or not.

God has given each of us a secret place. A place where we go for refuge. No, this isn’t the same as the “safe places” that we hear so much about today, where people hide from their problems, instead of facing them and fixing them.

This is a secret place. It’s a place where God calls us so we can spend time with Him and commune with Him, one on one. And in this secret place, as we draw near to God, He encourages us, equips us and teaches us.

He teaches us to trust in Him, no matter what we face. So that, instead of running away from our problems and the things we come up against that are less than pleasant, we learn to face them with Him by our side, guiding us through each and every step by His spirit.

He is our refuge, our fortress, where we go to rest and replenish our spirits, so we can face our battles refreshed and renewed, ready for victory!
