Bible Verse of The Day – 1-27-19 – Provision During Your Famine – Part 2

by

Click to watch the video nowHello! We greet you in the name of Jesus. 

We have just published our new video, Provision During Your Famine – Part 2. 

In last week’s video, we talked about Joseph, and how God gave him the wisdom to prepare for a famine that was coming. We also shared a little bit about how God led us through our own season of famine in the past. 

This week, we go into more detail about the things that God did as He taught us and showed us how to trust Him, even when things looked hopeless. 

His arm is never short. He is faithful in all things. And though we had fallen into financial despair, we had to take the steps He was telling us to take with our finances. 

How did it all turn out? We hope you’ll watch the video to find out! 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Trust Him in all things.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-26-19

by

2 Corinthians 9:7 (NKJV) 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

Give as we purpose in our hearts. Another way of saying this is, as we set our minds to it.

Giving is huge! God watches our giving because it means something to Him. He even watches our attitudes as to how we give.

Giving should be something we take very seriously. Giving will cause us to be more at peace within ourselves. There is a rest that comes with giving.

When we lay our heads down at night, we know that all is complete as we gave accordingly. What a wonderful way to live, and so rewarding.

Slow down, look around and listen. God will guide us in the steps of giving, and what an honor it is to be able to give.

Be a cheerful giver! Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-25-19

by

Proverbs 4:25 (NKJV) 25 Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you.

When all is coming against us and we hear nothing from God, what do we do?

We keep on doing what we have been doing and what we know what we need to do. We don’t stop.

We do what is in front of us. We continue to press forward each day and we don’t look back. We don’t make frantic changes out of fear.

We don’t go back to the past, and we don’t remind ourselves of how we used to do things. Maybe that worked back then but it is not going to work for us now.

Our biggest problems come when we look back, when we try to do things the way we did them before. No one wins a race looking back. We must keep our eyes looking forward, and press on.

It’s a NEW day, here and now, not yesterday.

God will meet us when we keep moving forward. He will show us what we need to do next. We just need to be willing to listen and obey His leading.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-24-19

by

Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV) 5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

We can smile all we want and pretend like nothing is wrong around people that we know and love, but God knows what is deep within our hearts.

He knows the things that eat away at us night and day. He knows that we won’t talk about it to others because we are afraid that we will be rejected for our thoughts, concerns and our actions. All the meanwhile it keeps growing and getting bigger and stronger within us.

God sees it. It is like poison eating away at us, and the only way to get help is to go to Him and ask for it. He won’t leave us for saying what we have to say to Him.  It’s alright and it is up to us to share it with Him.

Will we live with it for another day, or will we get the help we need to take care of it?

There are things in this world that can defeat us, and they will if we try to survive them on our own. But the Lord has overcome them and He will help us to be overcomers as well! Amen.

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-23-19

by

1 Peter 3:18 (NKJV) 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,

Jesus did all that He did, once for all, for each one of us. Why? Because of the importance of our relationship with our Father.

Now that we have a way to our Father, it makes it convenient for us to go to Him, through Jesus Christ, His Son. And we can go to Him at any time.

In the morning when we get up, before our day even begins, He is there. In the afternoon during our lunch break, He is there. In the evening before we get into bed, He is there. Those sleepless and restless nights, He is there. If we are tormented during the night. He is there.

He is never too busy to listen and He is never too busy to answer. He is never overworked or under-worked. He is never too late or too early. He is never too tired. Our Father, Our God, Our Jehovah Jireh is Omnipotent, He is all-powerful. Omniscient, He is all knowing and Omnipresent, He is present everywhere.

Knowing that, what should we all be doing? Going to Him, and spending time.

God wants us to Himself. He loves to have each one of us coming to Him every day, loving on Him, worshiping Him, praising and thanking Him. He loves our songs from our heart. It means so much to Him.

Jesus, the Just, suffered for our sins so that we, the unjust, could go to God. Through Jesus we have the victory.

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NKJV) 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-22-19

by

Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

The Spirit of God is beautiful, and when we let Him have control over our being, this is what we will produce.

Love: an intense feeling of deep affection.

Joy: a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.

Peace: freedom from disturbance; tranquility.

Longsuffering: having or showing patience in spite of troubles, especially those caused by other people.

Kindness: the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.

Goodness: the quality of being morally good or virtuous.

Faithfulness: the quality of being faithful; fidelity. Loyal.

Gentleness: the quality of being kind, tender, or mild-mannered.

Self-Control: the ability to control oneself, in particular one’s emotions and desires or the expression of them in one’s behavior, especially in difficult situations.

These are the characteristics of the Spirit of God living in us through His Son, Jesus Christ. This is our inheritance. These wonderful traits are the riches of God that we too can walk in each day.

Galatians 5:25 (NKJV) 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

We are not on our own, His Spirit lives in us. He will help us to produce such fruit! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-21-19

by

Luke 19:2-4 (NKJV) 2 Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way.

Zacchaeus had heard that Jesus was passing through. Something told Him that this was a big deal, so he wanted to make sure he got to see who this Jesus was that everyone was talking about.

There was a problem, though. Zacchaeus was short. He was so short, in fact, that he couldn’t see over the crowd. But Zacchaeus was also determined! So, he ran ahead of the crowd and climbed up into a Sycamore tree! Now he would be sure to see Jesus.

As Jesus passed under the tree, He peered up into the tree and called Zacchaeus down, informing him that He wanted to stay at his house that night.

Zacchaeus and Jesus had some great conversation, resulting in Jesus proclaiming to Zacchaeus that salvation had come to his house that very day.

Because Zacchaeus was determined, and he took action, the King of kings and Lord of lords called him down out of the tree, went to his house and dined with him, spending time with him in private.

This gives us some motivation to take a look at our own efforts to spend time with Jesus. Are we putting forth the same effort that Zacchaeus did? Are we willing to run ahead of the crowd and climb a tree just to get a glimpse of Him?

Are we willing to push aside those things that try to stop us from getting to Him?

Are we willing to share our heart with Him, telling Him of our love for Him?

Let’s follow the example of Zacchaeus and watch our relationship with Jesus grow and flourish!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-20-19 – Provision During Your Famine – Part 1

by

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

Famine. It’s a word that none of us likes to hear. But almost everyone goes through at least one major season of famine in their lifetime. 

God wants to provide for us during our famine. How does He do that? And what can we do to prepare for a famine before it actually hits? 

These are the things that we talk about today in our newest video, Provision During Your Famine – Part 1. 

We share a lot of solid Biblical information, as well as some testimonies of how God has brought us through our own famine in past years. 

We know that a lot of people will learn valuable lessons from this, so we hope you’ll take the time to watch it. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Stay close to Him in all you do. 

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-19-19

by

Isaiah 50:7 (NKJV) 7 “For the Lord God will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.

Just talk alone doesn’t do much for us. We will be forever talking about the same things over and over again if we don’t take action and do something.

How many times do we hear ourselves or someone else say they are going to do this or do that, and many years later they are still in the same situation, saying the same thing?

Most times it is because the action that needed to be taken went no further than conversation. When we just talk about something, it stays right there. It doesn’t go any further. Unless we put those thoughts and creativity to the test, we are stagnant.

Is there something we need to step out into and take action on today? Have we talked about it until we are blue in the face? Is God prompting us to do something now?

Sitting back and talking about it is not going to do a thing. It’s time to take action and get God involved.

How do we move forward with these plans? We pray, asking God for His help and His guidance. We ask Him to open doors that we need to have opened for us, and for His favor to go before us.

Then we start to move toward the plans accordingly, one step at a time.

When we let God get involved, He will help us see things through to completion, as long as what it is we are doing, or want to do, is good for us.

He enjoys going through each step with us. He will help us over the hurdles and bring us through the valleys. He’ll give us strength or carry us over the mountain tops. He will do what it takes to help us.

If God is for it and it’s what He wants, we have no reason to stress or worry about anything.

When we set our face like a flint towards what God wants for us, nothing can stop us. If we let Him, He will see to it that things go right.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-18-19

by

1 Corinthians 14:1 (NKJV) 1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

How do we pursue love? Just like anything we want in life, we go after the One who holds the goods.

In this case it’s Jesus. He is our example of the greatest love ever to exist.

When we put our faith in Him as our Lord and Savior, and we open up our hearts to Him, that seed of His love gets planted in our hearts. And just like any other seed, if we don’t care for it and water it, it won’t grow.

This kind of love only grows with proper watering through the word of God. His truth, His discipline, and His teachings will cause this seed to flourish and produce beautiful fruit.

As we learn who He is and how He responded to certain situations, we take what we have learned and then follow in His foot steps. As we do this, we begin to build that same love in us.

We learn how to act out of righteousness, instead of reacting out of our own understanding and our flesh.

How does this love get stronger? We take what He teaches us and we put it into action.

How does it become part of our everyday walk? We live it, we breathe it and walk it out. Not from our heads, but straight from our hearts.

Walking in this Love will grip the hearts of people around us. It is the difference that people will notice in us, showing that we have changed and we belong to God.

John 13:35 (NKJV) 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-17-19

by

Psalm 119:11 (NKJV) 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.

We all struggle with sin on varying levels. Each day we face different kinds of temptations that attempt to lead us from the path that God has set before us.

Do we stray, or do we stay steadfast on God’s path?

It’s safe to say that we all disappoint God and ourselves sometimes, as we make the wrong choice and fall to those temptations. It’s not what we want to do, but we do it anyway.

So, how do we fix this? How do we stop falling into the trap of sin?

God’s word. That’s how!

God’s word is the key to avoiding temptation and giving in to temptation. We need to “hide” God’s word in our hearts. Why? Because hiding it in our hearts keeps us closer to God.

As we store His word in our hearts, it gives us a “well” to draw from. And when we are in need of something, the Holy Spirit will remind us of the things we have read in God’s word. Those little reminders will help steer us away from sin.

But if we fail to “fill our well”, we will never have anything to quench our thirst when we need it! There will be no words there to be reminded of, and it will make it easier for us to fall into sin when we are tempted.

Hiding God’s word in our hearts also gives us heightened discernment. As God’s spirit prompts us about different things, we are more apt to hear Him and give heed to what He says. This will also help keep us from falling when temptation comes our way.

While this might seem oversimplified, it’s a basic truth that we can’t overlook. Doing so will be detrimental to our spiritual health and wellbeing, and will cost us dearly over our lifetime.

Hide His word in our hearts, that we might not sin against Him.
