Bible Verse of The Day – 9-3-12

(Heb 10:23 NKJV)  Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

God has given us hope through His son, Jesus Christ.

There are many, many things that will try to take our hope and destroy it. Every day we face new tests, temptations and trials that can change the path we’re on, if we let them.

As believers, it’s critical that we HOLD FAST to our hope! If we lose hope, we have nothing left to hold on to.

Let us be very plain and clear today about this; the enemy will go to great lengths to destroy our hope. There will be days and seasons where we will feel like we just can’t win… we can’t get ahead, but we must persevere.

Victory will come, but it might not always come when we want it or the way we think it should happen.

God, who has given us this hope, is faithful.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-17-12

(2 Cor 4:17-18 NKJV)  For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, {18} while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Wow… now how many of us can honestly say that we think of our trials in that way?

As we go through the things that come our way each day, each week and each year of our lives, how awesome is it to know that they are only temporary? No matter how tough things get, they are not here forever, but just for a while.

God has created us to be eternal beings, living a natural life while we’re here on earth and then living eternally when our time on this earth is done. We should understand fully that there is more to our lives here than just things in the natural… that even though we live in a tangible, natural environment, there are many things that happen in the spiritual realm, behind the scenes.

But even in this, we know that everything we go through will bring us closer to God and bring honor to His name, if we let it.

What are you going through today? Are you fighting any battles? Some of us are facing some very tough things; decisions, choices, accusations, persecution, loss of loved ones, loss of finances, divorce, breakups, homelessness, despair, depression. The list could get pretty lengthy, because we’re all facing something!

But know that God is working things out within us and strengthening us through every one of these trials. No matter how tough it gets, cling to Him and trust Him with every fiber of your being. Don’t give up hope.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 2-2-12

(Rom 8:38-39 NKJV)  For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, {39} nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

During the past 48 hours we have received a steady stream of incoming emails with testimonies from hundreds of people, sharing how God is working in their lives through the Daily Bible verse.

We have been in awe at the testimonies shared. Many times, as we read them, tears flowed down our faces in light of the wonders of God and the love that was poured out toward us. We were truly touched.

Included in some of the emails were some very serious prayer requests. Some of you who wrote had been through or are going through some very desperate situations and circumstances. Some were distraught and even bordering on depression.

We have prayed over these requests and we are believing with you that God will give you victory in your situations, and in your lives as a whole. No matter how bad things might seem, God is never far off.

There is nothing in this life that can separate us from His love. NOTHING! So when things seem dismal and you feel like you have nowhere to turn and no options left, simply cry out to Him and cling to Him.

Don’t let hell’s demons convince you that this life isn’t worth living or that God has abandoned you. These are lies straight from the pit of hell. Pick yourself up by the strength of God, stare the enemy straight in the face and tell him to leave, in the name of Jesus.

Never, ever consider taking your own life and never, ever give up on God. No matter what comes our way, He gives us hope and strength. We just need to grab hold of it.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 12-13-11

(Psa 98:4 NKJV)  Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises.

Today is a good day to SHOUT!!

I know that when things are good it’s easy to Shout. But when things are not so good and you’re feeling depressed, sad, tired and worn out, we have to get up and SHOUT, making a joyful noise unto the Lord!!

We are asking you today to get up and start shouting regardless of where you’re at in your situation. Don’t let the weight of your situation or someone else’s situation bring you down. Shout your way back up and stay there. Break forth in song and Rejoice!!

OH for God is GOOD!!

If you have a testimony that you would like to share about God’s goodness, please send it in. We would love to hear how Good God has been to you!

Shout the Victory!!
