Bible Verse of The Day – 5-7-18

by

Matthew 6:22 (NKJV) 22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light.

We need to be discerning when it comes to what we get ourselves involved in. It can affect our whole being. It will determine our direction.

We can’t let those little things that aren’t good for us sneak in and have a hold on us. They will take us down. It’s those little foxes that spoil the vine.

Song of Solomon 2:15 (NKJV) 15 Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.

There are foxes all around, and this world is not going to make it easy for us either. We must work hard and be on our toes in order to catch those things that sneak up, before they take root.

The good news is that God is right here with us. He gives us the strength, discipline and a way out if we ask for His help and we pay attention to His promptings.

1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV) 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

We have no excuse. He will make a way out. We just need to follow His leading. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – How God Speaks to Us – 5-6-18

by

Click to watch the video nowGreetings in Jesus’ name! 

How does God speak to us? How do we know when we have heard Him? 

These are questions that most of us have, and they are good questions! 

We just released our latest video that covers this topic. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

God speaks to us more often than we realize. But because we aren’t prepared to hear Him, we can often miss Him. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

We can also miss Him if He speaks in a way that we weren’t expecting. 

We hope you’ll take a few minutes to give this a watch. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Enjoy the rest of your day. 

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-5-18

by

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 – 5-4-18

by

Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV) 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Children; what beautiful little blessings they are.

We all know that every child is different. Some are aggressive and outgoing. Some are quiet and very content. While some are loud and boisterous. They are all very different in the little person that they are.

Each one has their strengths, and they also have their weaknesses. Most times, we as their parents recognize the areas where they will probably need help before anyone else does.

It’s so important, if we notice an area that they are weak in, that we don’t neglect it or ignore it. We can’t try to make up excuses for them. If we do, it may affect them for the rest of their lives. They will take what we have said to them and hold on to it, and it will become their crutch.

We need to teach our children to face their weaknesses. Steer them toward God even at a young age, and they will see that He is faithful and He takes the time to help even the little ones.

God is good. He will even meet our children where they are at and speak to their little hearts.

They can be strong too, through Christ who strengthens us all.

Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-3-18

by

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

True freedom in Christ is something that most of us have a hard time comprehending and walking out in our lives.

It’s a hard thing for us to grasp, being free… truly free.

Freedom has many different facets. It probably means different things to different people. But no matter what it might mean to you or someone else, Jesus wants us to walk in freedom each and every day.

To most people, when we think of freedom in Christ, we think of the fact that our faith in Jesus has set us free from eternal separation from God.

While that’s true, here’s what freedom really means in a deeper sense.

Freedom from death, with new life in Christ. Freedom from condemnation with God’s forgiveness. Freedom from guilt, with God’s mercy. Freedom from worrying, with God’s provision. Freedom from shame, with God’s grace. Freedom from sadness and depression, with God’s joy.

And there are so many other ways that God sets us free in Christ. But it’s important that we understand that freedom is not limited just to being forgiven for our sins. Freedom encompasses every aspect of our lives if we let it.

It’s up to us to let God teach us and show us how to live in this incredible freedom. Because if we don’t let Him teach us, we live in ignorance, carrying burdens that He never intended for us to carry.

Matthew 11:29-30 (NKJV) 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-2-18

by

Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Sometimes the people who appear to be the strongest may not be very strong at all. Strength doesn’t only come physically. We may be very strong and able to lift a lot of weight, but that is only one type of strength.

There is a strength that will rock our world if we get a hold of it. It’s called obedience.

Obedience is a type of strength that is very often overlooked.

Lifting large amounts of weight can be done simply by training for it and reaching a goal. But, walking in obedience requires constant discipline, listening and surrendering. That is strength!

If we can listen to Someone when we are feeling like doing the opposite, and take what they are saying and do it, when everything else in us is saying no, that takes strength.

When we endeavor to be obedient, we are fighting the hardest thing in life to fight; our will. If our will had muscles and we could see them, it would look like a champion bodybuilder. Our will is HUGE!

That’s right. Our will will be the hardest thing in life to fight and gain victory over.

We can’t give in to it. Rather, we need to listen to what God is telling us to do over what our will is saying.

We are strong in Him. And let me tell you that is pretty strong!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-1-18

by

Romans 12:1 (NKJV) 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

Ever wonder what God wants you to do with your life?

Present your body as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God. There you have it.

This is what He expects from us. It is our reasonable service to Him.

Many people might look at this and think that this is an awful lot to ask of us. But think of it this way; Jesus literally presented His body as a sacrifice, even unto death. So is it really too much for God to require of us that we present our bodies as living sacrifices?

He isn’t asking us to die for Him. He’s simply asking us to live our lives in a holy and righteous way.

And what’s more is that He has given us His word and the Holy Spirit so that we are perfectly equipped to be able to do this. We just need two things; the knowledge that He has asked this of us, and the desire to do it.

Where do we stand? Which side are we choosing? Light, or darkness?

It’s up to us.

1 John 1:6 (NKJV) 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-30-18

by

Psalm 37:4 (NKJV) 4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

This is a promise.

I have seen this happen in my own life, the more I turn to God. And I mean turn to Him for everything. He has turned my life around and made it beautiful! I can honestly say He knows me better than I know myself.

This verse is telling us something that I personally wish I had gotten earlier in my walk with God. I was a Christian since childhood and I am just now starting to understand what God is saying to me here.

I did a lot of things in my life. I’ve been through a lot of different kinds of trials. Most of these things I brought on myself. Some were very hard to get through. But nevertheless, God was there with me and helped me through it all.

How much easier and enjoyable my days would have been if only I had taken this verse and applied it to myself. If only I walked it out at an earlier stage in my life, I may very well have been able to avoid a lot of things that brought pain.

It’s OK, though, because I do understand it now. We know the saying; better late than never, right?

I share this with you all today because we love each and every one of you. You are very dear to Pastor Curt and me. We want God’s best for you and for you to be able to have the desires of your heart!

We have not met most of you face to face, but there is a spiritual connection that God has connected us with, and we believe we are closer than we realize.

This verse is beautiful! God is saying, if you put me first in all that you do, you will live out a life that is simply beautiful. And at times when you reflect on it, you won’t even know how it happened.

Have fun, enjoy Him, go after Him. Draw near to our Lord…let Him be our delight.

The rest will be history!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-28-18

by

Deuteronomy 28:13 (NKJV) 13 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.

Being open to the way God wants us to do things is what will make this journey we are all on fun!

Yes, we will admit that sometimes it can get a little tense, and even scary at times. Absolutely. But, if we just hold on and stay close to Him, He will walk us through it.

It takes discipline and obedience. But, what an exciting way to live!

God has our back if we follow His commandments, His direction and His timing.

We have an important part in all of this. We may ask, “how do we know our part?”. We pray, we listen, we watch and we do.

It’s important to know that He wants us to understand what He is saying to us more than we ourselves want it. His love and compassion for us are very deep and He wants us to succeed.

He wants us to be the head and not the tail. He wants us to be above and not beneath! But we must be observant and be willing to take action.

Staying open to Him, His ways, His timing and His answer to us is what will keep us moving forward on this wonderful journey with Him.

Forget about the way it has always been. That kind of thinking will cause us to be stuck.

We need to stop with always thinking about how we did things before and how well it worked. That’s great, but it’s not always going to go the same way. God will change things up in a heartbeat if He sees a good reason to do so. Be ready to move with Him!

Break free today from the old ways of doing things and walk down the new, different, challenging and exciting road God has for each one of us!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-27-18

by

Luke 12:6-7 (NKJV) 6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Are we afraid today?

Are we fearful about where we are going to live, or where are we going to work?

Are we fearing that we may never marry and have children? Are we fearful about our spouse or our children?

Are we fearful about our own health, etc.?

Today is our day to let go of the fears. That’s right; let them Go!

We were not made to walk in fear of things or situations. We are not expected to carry these burdens alone.

God has not forgotten us. He knows everything that is going on around us and in our lives today.

Don’t fret. Let it go, into the hands of God Almighty, and let Him bring restoration to you.

Isaiah 44:24 (NKJV) 24 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, And He who formed you from the womb: “I am the Lord, who makes all things, Who stretches out the heavens all alone, Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself…

We are safe. Amen
