Bible Verse of The Day – 1-29-13

(John 8:36 NKJV)  “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

Jesus Christ died and rose again to set us free. That includes you and me.

He died to set us free from sin, from death and from demonic bondages.

He died to set us free from mental illness, physical illness and poverty.

There is nothing too powerful for Christ to set us free from.

Sadly, there are many things that we will never be set free from because we don’t recognize them as being bad, demonic or evil. The world has so diluted our thinking that we will fail to see something, even when God’s word speaks plainly about it.

The spirit of God is always at work, speaking to us and teaching us. But we need to be listening and exercising our discernment. We need to tune out the noise and chatter of the enemy as he slowly, subtly wears on our spiritual eyes and ears.

It happens ever so slowly, as our culture bombards us with one little thing after another until, before we know it, we begin to think just like everyone else, seeing wrong as right and evil as good.

We urge you today to ask God for razor-sharp discernment in absolutely everything that comes your way. We, the bride of Christ, need to be ever-so-diligent and discerning in this world we live in.

Ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and it will be opened to you.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 12-15-11

(Prov 3:5-6 NKJV)  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.

One of the most frequent questions we get asked is “How do I hear God?”

As believers, it’s important that we learn how to discern and hear God’s voice. We hear so much around us that it sometimes becomes hard to know which voice is God’s and which ones aren’t.

The best way for any of us to hear God is to know Him. The closer we are to Him and the better we know Him, the easier it becomes to know when He’s speaking to us and what He’s saying.

(John 10:27 NKJV)  “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

As we know Him better, it becomes much easier to block out all of the other noise around us and tune Him in. Drawing closer to Him will take away the desire in us to do things that are contrary to His word, thereby eliminating things that would be likely to make our spirits dull.

There are many, many things that will push us away from God, even when we don’t realize it’s happening.

As we immerse ourselves in His word and we press into Him, we will begin to hear His voice clearly.

People of God, press into Him today. The rewards far outweigh the efforts.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 12-9-11

(1 Th 5:21-22 NKJV)  Test all things; hold fast what is good. {22} Abstain from every form of evil.

Some of the biggest mistakes and the worst decisions we make is because we fail to “test” things when we’re making a decision.

God gives us His spirit to help us when it comes to knowing what to do and what not to do.

The hard part for us is letting God speak to us and show us His way when we’re so used to doing everything based on what we know.

Sometimes what God shows us will go against human logic. That’s because He is God and His ways don’t have to line up with our ways. He doesn’t operate based on logic.

God wants us to learn how to listen for His voice and know when He’s speaking to us. In (John 10:27 NKJV) Jesus said:  “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

As we draw closer to Him, we will learn to discern His voice and distinguish it from all of the other noise clutter around us.
