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 – 7-18-18

Psalm 33:16 (NKJV) 16 No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

We can put our trust in many things, but they will not be what saves us from our troubles.

How many of us have put our trust in our jobs to bring us a life of comfort, a life of stability and material blessings?

How is that working for us? Are we getting the things that we long so badly for? Is it bringing us comfort? Will our current position at work even last?

We don’t know for sure. But, we still trust that it will. We have nothing to prove that it will last even until tomorrow. But we live like it will last forever.

This is the wrong way for us to be thinking. This kind of thinking is why men do not look to or lean on God as much as we ought to.

We are deceived in thinking we have it all wrapped up, all under control. We think we know what we are doing, but at any given moment things can change, and where are we left?

Some people will be mad at God when this happens. Some will keep trying on their own to get ahead. And some will just give up on life. And that is exactly what the devil wants. He deceives us in our thinking and then leaves us to drown in our own sorrow, worry and fear.

We want to share with you today the way God has called us all to think.

He doesn’t want us to put our trust in anyone or anything else but Him. If we give Him our lives, He will help us get the stability that we all long for; a life where we can enjoy each day. Even if trials come, we know that God has our back.

You see, life should not be as hard as we tend to make it.

Yes, we will have trials. But if our trust is in knowing that God will help us through everything, and we follow His steps, we will find ourselves rejoicing in the good things that He will open our eyes to see even at times when we can’t see past our problems.

Rejoicing? In hard times? Yes! With God, even through the hardest of times, we will find joy!

How do we get to this place of living this way? One step, one experience at a time.

Let’s start today by trusting Him with this day. Get up out of bed and look in the mirror. Speak to ourselves and say, “Today, we are going to listen to the Holy Spirit. When He speaks, we say, “yes”.

Then we do whatever it may be that he asks us to do, to the best of our ability. It could be just little promptings here and there throughout the day, to not do something that we normally do.

It could be someone who needs something and they ask us to help. It could be to take a different route to work, school or even to drop off the kids. It could simply be Him telling us to be still and quiet today, not say as much. Or maybe to take a rest.

He may or may not show us right away why He is asking us to do certain things. But that’s OK.

We need to trust that He has a good reason for why He says what He says to do.

He will teach us how to hear Him and to obey, even in the littlest things. Wait and trust Him for His way and promptings.

Psalm 33:20-21(NKJV) 20 Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. 21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-16-18

Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Enjoy the Lord. It’s a wonderful blessing to know that God is for us!

When we wake up every day knowing that we have Someone like Him for us, how can we worry? Worry and fret should not even enter our mind. The God of this universe is FOR us. Amen.

When someone is for us, that means they’re going to do whatever it takes to help us in whatever area we need them to.

Knowing this and still worrying about things, shows us we are not understanding it completely.

The only time we should be concerned is if we are not doing our part; If we are not obeying God with the things He is asking us to do.

We must take Him and His commandments seriously. Are we going to be perfect? No. But we have to be trying to get it right, the best that we can, and don’t let up and go back to the way we were if we mess up.

As long as we are working toward the goal, continuing to fight the good fight, God sees our hearts and He will be there for us.

2 Timothy 4:7 (NKJV) 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

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 – 5-25-18

Isaiah 55:9 (NKJV) 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. 

Most times, when God moves or does something for us, we can never really wrap our heads around how He did it or why He chose to do it the way He did. 

That’s because we’re not God! 

It’s funny how we as humans keep spending time trying to figure God out. If we could just find it in ourselves to spend that much time pursuing God, instead of trying to figure Him out, we’d be much better off. 

You see, our walk with Him should never be based on figuring Him out or trying to completely understand His ways. But, instead, it should be based on drawing near to Him and trusting Him, knowing that He always has our best interests at heart. 

James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you…

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-5-18

Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NKJV) 7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. 8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

These are beautiful words of wisdom, promise and knowledge!

Who will be blessed? The man who puts His trust and hope in the Lord, not in material things, not in financial riches, and not in big success.

This is the man that will be blessed. He will be blessed in all areas of his life! He will be blessed in his schooling, his home, his work, his family, his health, and his relationships.

Why? Because he has settled in his heart to give his all to God. He holds nothing from Him.

If God is touching our heart right now and asking us to give something very personal to Him, will we do it? Will we give to Him that particular thing that we hold dear to our hearts? Or are we going to say, “NO, Not now God. We need it for our security. It’s really nothing anyways”.

If we cannot let it go, then it’s more than NOTHING to us.

Let’s not put our trust in anything other than the Lord, that we too may continue to walk in His blessings every day. Amen.

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!

My Bible Verse of The Day – Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow – 2-18-18

Greetings, in the precious name of Jesus! 

Yesterday, today and tomorrow. Three words that make up our lives.

We tend to let our past dictate who we are. But God doesn’t want us living like this. If we have asked Him to, He has forgiven our past and has made us new. We are a new creation in Christ. And this is how we need to live! 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

So we hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch this video and let God speak to your heart.
