Bible Verse of The Day – 8-14-14

Colossians 3:15 (NKJV) 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

There are many of you reading this who are going through trials and great loss.

You may have lost a loved one recently. You may be going through extremely difficult marital problems, including divorce. You may be suffering from extreme financial hardship. You may be battling cancer or know someone who is battling cancer.

These are all very difficult things. So difficult, in fact, that some may actually wish that their life was over, so they could be done with the struggles.

But let me boldly say to you today that this battle is not forever. This trial that you’re going through is not going to last forever.

You may mourn for a season. You may wrestle with your finances for a season. You may battle cancer for a season. Your marriage may struggle for a season and you may be devastated by divorce for a season.

But God is above all of those things. And although they are all very difficult things to go through and they can feel like they’re tearing us apart, we can overcome them and have the peace of God in our lives, even as we go through the storms.

So I speak peace over your mind and your soul right now, in the name of Jesus. Receive His peace and let it reign over your heart and mind.

The winds may blow and the waves may beat against you and your house, but they will not prevail if you don’t give up.

Rest in His peace and hold fast to His hand. Let Him give you strength.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-11-14

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

The peace of God. It’s something that nobody can really explain.

But when we are in the midst of trials, we can actually have peace that doesn’t make sense to our human minds.

During the past couple of years we had been going through some pretty tough trials. There were days when it felt like the wind had been knocked out of us. Sometimes it wasn’t just one day, but many days in a row.

Our world felt like it was upside down.

But in the midst of it all, even when our emotions tried to get the best of us, we had peace.

We can’t really explain it, but we had peace… a knowing inside us that God was in control and that everything would somehow turn out OK.

And it did.

There were decisions that we had to make, and some of the choices we made might have seemed odd to the undiscerning person. But God’s Spirit was at work in us and we could make choices that were contrary to common sense and logic and still have peace inside, because we were being led by God and not by our emotions.

So in the midst of your storm, let God lead you. Listen for His voice and heed His instruction. And when you do that, you too can have God’s peace in the midst of your storm; that peace that surpasses understanding.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-12-14

2 John 1:3 (NKJV) 3 Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

To all of you today, we pray this scripture over your lives.

We pray that God’s mercy and peace will be with you and will reign over you, in the name of Jesus.

The world is a tumultuous place, but with God peace can still be found, no matter what’s happening around us.

So, starting today, let God’s peace take precedence over the chaos and confusion that’s trying to overtake you.

And may you find rest in Him.

We pray for God’s mightiest blessings over your lives.

We love all of you very much.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-9-13

(Psalm 107:29 NKJV)  He calms the storm, So that its waves are still.

Are you in a storm today? Are you stuck in a place where you don’t want to be? Do you feel like you are in prison, and you are holding the key to get out but are afraid to make the move?

God’s Peace is amazing! When going through a trial or tribulation (a storm), remember that no matter how big of a wave it is, He will calm that thing down. How does this happen? As we follow His direction, we will feel His peace and that peace will help us to make the right moves.

Not long ago, we were in a trial. We were praying and seeking God and His answer came. It came, but we overlooked it, it was so plain and clear, but not what we were looking for.

Time went on and we tried doing everything we knew to do by our  own understanding…the storm was getting worse and worse, those big nasty waves kept beating on us, the pressure was getting heavier and we were getting weak and tired from the constant beating.

We finally sat back down and asked God, “What are we missing?”, only to hear the same thing He had told us the first time we asked.

He showed us again and we began to take the steps, like He said to do, and His peace was there instantly and things began to work out. The storm was calmed!!

Sometimes we can miss what God is saying to us to do because we feel so strong that it should be done another way. But if we miss it the first time, just get back with Him and repent and ask Him if it’s too late or can we try again to get it right?

There are times we will miss the timing for something, and it doesn’t come back around again. But there are also those times we do get another chance.

We learned that no matter what storm we go through in life, we can still have peace in it as long as we follow God, because He is the “Calmer of the STORM!”

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-24-13

(Philemon 1:3 NKJV)  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Over the last several weeks we have received emails from people going through trials. We ourselves have also been going through trials for the last few months.

Every day that goes by, we see and hear about other terrible, tragic events and trials that are happening around the world.

We are here today to speak grace and peace into your situation. No matter how bad it might seem or how hard it is to bear, let God’s peace rule over you.

We know that some days can be terribly heavy and it can seem like there will be no end to the pain and misery that comes with trials and tests.

But don’t ever lose hope. Our hope isn’t in the things or the people of this world. Our hope lies in the one who spoke the world into existence. Our hope lies in the one who breathed life into us.

So if you’re going through trials or tests today, know deep down in your heart that you are not alone. Be assured that even when it feels like the world is closing in on you, God is your source of peace and rest.

His peace is our source of strength. Rest in Him today.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-8-13

(Isaiah 45:22 NKJV)  “Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

As we begin our new week let us look to Him. He will guide us and give us Peace on our journey.

Last week was just one of those weeks for us. It was coming from every direction! Smack, bang, boom! Oh and while your trying to get up, BAM, here’s another one!!

My husband and I were tired when Saturday came. He hooked up with a buddy and went fishing. I was just going to stay in and lay low. It seemed like it all hit me at once… it was more than I could handle.

So here I was, all alone…or so I thought. I was just letting it all out on my living room floor, crying like a child. There may have been no people around me and I thought no one could hear me, but I knew God was right beside me. Deep within me I felt His Peace and the words that came to me were,”it’s alright.”

These two words calmed me right down, and in moments I began to feel better. I felt a relief as I looked to Him. He took it all and the heaviness was gone. I got up and began to sing and went about my business. I had a great day!

He was there for me; He saved me in my time of need.

There is NO other like Him. Amen!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-13

(Philippians 4:4 NKJV)  Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

We have two words for everyone today. The first is “Rejoice”!

No matter what we are facing, we need to learn to rejoice. When you feel like the whole world is against you, Rejoice! Be thankful for your blessings… the little things. Don’t get caught up in the negative, but thanks God for the good things.

The Israelites spent 40 years making a 12-day journey. Why? Because they grumbled and complained, instead of rejoicing.

(Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV)  Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; {7} and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

And as you rejoice, “be anxious for nothing”. Bring your requests to God and be thankful! Make your requests known and then rest in Him, knowing that His peace can overcome any kind of turmoil that tries to overtake you.

God’s peace can’t be understood or comprehended by our minds. But it will carry us through the storms and bring us safely to the other side where we can celebrate our victory in Christ.

Rejoice and rest in Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-22-12

(Philippians 4:6-7 NKJV)  Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; {7} and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

God’s peace can never be explained away. It’s something that can’t be understood by the human mind.

Having the peace of God doesn’t come naturally. As human beings, we always like to know everything… to have it all figured out. Moving with God will sometimes (many times) mean that we don’t know what tomorrow will bring.

This tends to mess with our heads and cause us to question God if we look at things through human eyes.

But once we begin to get God’s heart and start to see things through His eyes, everything starts to look a whole lot different. As we begin to trust Him more, we also have more peace.

This is the peace that passes understanding. This is the peace that we can have when it seems like the world is crashing down around us. And this is the peace we can have when everyone is looking at us and wondering how we can be so calm when everything looks like it’s falling apart.

Know God. Know His Peace.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-13-12

(Matthew 6:34 NKJV)  “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Each night, as we go out for our evening walk, we get to this one hill. Both of us like to jog up this hill. We love the way it gets our heart beating and we feel like we conquered it.

It is a huge hill and about half way up sometimes if I lift up my head and look towards the top. I find my breathing and my mind start to panic, almost causing me to quit at times.

I am often reminded that what works best for me is to keep my head down and only focus on what is in front of me, not looking to see how far from the top I am. So I’ll force my head down and literally watch my feet taking one step at a time causing my breathing and my mind to focus again. Before I know it, I am at the top of that hill!!

It’s like this with God. He gives us desires and visions within our hearts and we need to remember that these things don’t always come to pass immediately. It takes time, one step at a time.

In this day we live in ,everything seems so fast-paced. If we want this or that they make it so easy to get things quickly. We have to be careful we don’t get stuck in this mindset when it comes to God and His plan for us.

When God shows us the things He would like to do with us or for us we can be prayerful and focus on how He would like us to reach the goal on a daily basis. If we look too far ahead it can cause us to panic, stress, or doubt that it can even be done.

So take one day at a time because that is enough.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-12-12

(Colossians 3:15 NKJV)  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

As we enter into a new week let us let peace rule in our hearts.

Know that stress, chaos, confusion, irritations, and frustrations will always be present. But we don’t have to fall into their trap and let them have a place in our hearts.

God’s Word says to let PEACE rule. Anything that rules means it exhorts control, it exercises authority or power over, and it dominates. We may have to fight to keep the peace of God ruling in our heart, but it will be well worth it.

Walk in peace this week, and be thankful, for we serve an AWESOME Father who cares deeply about us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-21-12

(Jude 1:2 NKJV)  Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

We’d like to take today and thank you all for helping us with Seven Seas Ministries’ Bible Verse of The Day!

We are so appreciative of you and your support. We can not do this without you. We have realized that this world is full of hurting, hungry, homeless, lost, struggling people.

Since we started the Bible Verse of The Day, many people have written to us and told us how they have been saved, healed, delivered, how they have grown closer to God and how marriages have been restored!

You have been right their with us, reaching out to all those in need as you continue to lift us up in prayer, as you encourage us to keep going and as you send in your financial support.

This ministry started with one person on our mailing list and has grown tremendously. We can’t even keep track of how many actually get the verses each day because we send it to the ones who have signed up to receive it and many have told us they forward it to others.

God is doing a MIGHTY work and we are so honored to be a part of what He is doing! We Are Giving Him All The Glory!!

Today, from our hearts, we pray the verse above, with sincerity, for each one of you!

Thank you and may you continue to draw closer to God!

Love in Christ,

Pastor Curt and Pastor Ellie
