Bible Verse of The Day – 6-12-17

by

Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

I had a vision of a knight sitting on a white horse. He was holding a sword.

Across from him stood a black beast that looked similar to a bull/ox. Sitting on him was a creature in full armor. He also carried a sword, but his sword seemed huge, with a lot of blades coming off it. The beastly looking creature threatened the knight, saying with a loud voice, “You will die!”.

The knight on the white horse took two steps back and dashed at the beast, with his sword drawn. He leapt in the air, over the top of the beast. As he was over the beast, he took his sword and stuck it down through the top of the creature, penetrating right through to the bull/ox, leaving them both dead.

The knight got down off his horse, cut of the head of the creature, putting his foot on the bull/ox. In one hand, he held up the head of the creature and in the other hand he held up his sword.

God showed me that the black creature and his ride were symbolic of sin and how it can be very intimidating, threatening and seem impossible to overcome.

But the sword that the knight carried was symbolic of the WORD of God. And if we choose His word and choose what is right over that which is wrong, that is how quickly we can destroy sin and have victory over it!!

Let the word of God help us to defeat sin. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-10-17

by

Psalm 57:2 (NKJV) 2 I will cry out to God Most High, To God who performs all things for me.

Some of us today are afraid to ask God for anything because we have been rejected in our lives so many times. Life has thrown us some curve balls, so we have accepted that this is just how it is. And now we have grown to live a life expecting to be rejected.

We don’t even bother to pray anymore because of the fear that God will reject our prayers.

We should never equate God with our circumstances or our past. And we should never think that God will cast us away because of our mistakes. We need to take Him at His word and trust Him.

God is a good God! He’s not out to hurt us or cause harm to us, but to do good for us. He will not reject us, but listen to us with open ears of compassion, grace and mercy. He wants us to know that He is here for us and that no matter what others have done to us, He is not like them.

1 Corinthians 1:9 (NKJV) 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

If there is something you or someone you know needs today, go to God through His precious Son, Jesus Christ, and ask of Him. He will hear our cry.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-9-17

by

Proverbs 3:9-10 (NKJV) 9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.

Honoring God with our finances is critical to our financial stability and wellbeing.

Many of us go through financial trials. It happens to just about everyone at some point. Sometimes this happens due to poor choices on our part. Other times it happens due to things that are beyond our control.

But no matter how or why it happens, one thing is for sure. And that is this; if we honor God with our finances, He will protect us and provide for us no matter what comes along.

There is protection that comes when we honor God with our money. It’s a spiritual principle that was set in motion by God Himself.

How we honor God with our finances (or not) also says a lot about our faith and trust in Him. Why? Because, most times, our money comes by way of hard work on our part. And to most of us our money is a prized possession that we are not willing to part with easily.

But if we truly trust God with everything else, we will also trust Him with our finances too. Jesus said this about it:

Matthew 6:19 (NKJV) 19 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

In the verses leading up to 19, Jesus had been speaking specifically about storing up treasures here on earth. He encouraged us to store up treasures in heaven, instead, and not to place so much value on money and earthly possessions.

And lastly, it is mentioned in several places that God wants us to give of our firstfruits. This means that we need to honor Him first, before anything/anyone else. Not give Him the leftovers after we have paid everyone else and spent more of it on earthly goods and possessions.

This is a hard teaching for many of us because it hits us in the wallet and causes us to really ask ourselves why we’re not giving God priority in our finances.

So we urge you to ask God about this and seek Him on this. And then put Him first, even with your money. And over time, you will see God move on your behalf, again and again, even when it looks like the rug has been pulled from under your feet.

Trust Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-8-17

by

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

God rewards those who diligently seek Him. This is something that we all need to understand. But we need to make sure we look at it with the correct perspective.

Many times we can get caught up in the rewards and spend our time seeking after them. But in reality, we need to seek after Him, and not worry about the rewards.

The rewards will come when we put Him first and put our time and energy into seeking Him and growing our relationship with Him first, before everything else.

Because we live in a materialistic world, many have gotten off the path and spent their time focusing on what we get if we follow after God. This is not at all what God intended. Yes, the rewards are good. But the close relationship with Him is so much better.

And if we’re seeking after Him solely for the rewards, then we’ve got things a bit mixed up. And seeking rewards will cause our relationship with Him to become twisted and performance-based. Again, this is not what God intended.

So we need to be sure that we are seeking God solely because we want to have a strong walk with Him, not for any other reason.

Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Seek Him first. The rewards will take care of themselves.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-7-17

by

John 9:6 (NKJV) 6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.

Jesus took His saliva and mixed it with the dirt and made clay. He then put it on the eyes of the blind man.

The blind man needed to do something before his miracle would come. He needed to obey the voice of Jesus. Until He took the step that Jesus told Him to take, he was still blind with mud on his eyes.

What step did the blind man need to take before he could see?

John 9:7 (NKJV) 7 And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

He had to go and wash in the pool.

The blind man went and did what Jesus told Him to do and came back seeing. He didn’t see before that. He didn’t see on the way there, but after he went and did what he was told, he could see.

How many of us today are standing around with mud still in our eyes because we never made it to the pool? We got half way there and said, ” I don’t know, this it too hard” and we’re just walking around with an incomplete victory or miracle. We need to finish the steps so that we can receive a miracle or victory.

We know what we need to do, so what are we waiting for? Do we want what Jesus already wants for us? Healing, deliverance, salvation, financial breakthrough, growing business or ministry, restored marriage or family, etc. Or are we waiting on Him to take our steps for us?

He didn’t do it for the blind man, and He will not do it for us. There are steps that only we can take.

Maybe we need to take a step in giving. Maybe it’s a step in saying no to people that pull on us. Or it could be a step of saying yes to something that we have never done before. Maybe it is a change in the way we carry ourselves, our language, our attitude, etc. Follow the Holy Spirit’s promptings and take the step.

Our prayers are with you!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-6-17

by

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

True freedom can only be found in one source; Jesus Christ.

If you have put your faith and trust in Jesus, you are free. Period. You can’t get anymore free than to be a child of the King and a joint heir with Christ!

The enemy will try to convince us that we are still in chains, bound by our sins, past and present. But the truth is that Jesus breaks the chains, once and for all.

So if we’re feeling condemned, stuck, bound, discouraged, or any other things that might try to keep us from moving forward with God, we need to remember Who it is that we are placing our faith and hope in.

He died for all of us, and His completed work is all we need to overcome death, hell and the grave, now and for eternity.

Romans 6:10 (NKJV) 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

So lift your head. Look to heaven and thank Him for all He has done and all He is still going to do for you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-5-17

by

1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

God looks at our heart. This can be a life-changing revelation for so many people.

We tend to look at ourselves and others and judge by what we see. It’s a natural thing to do, since we can’t see the heart of a person unless we spend time with them and get to know them.

God chose David to be king over His people. Why? Because He knew David’s heart was set on pleasing Him. The Word says that David was a man after God’s own heart!

He could have chosen someone greater in stature. But stature doesn’t matter to God. Stature is just a physical attribute. It doesn’t make us who we are. Our heart and what’s in it makes us who we are.

What’s in our heart? When God looks at us, what does He see?

Does He see a heart that longs after Him? Or does He see a heart that is divided in its loyalties?

Only we can determine what our heart contains. Only we can decide where our loyalties lie.

Let us determine in our hearts to seek after God with everything in us. Then we will know without a doubt what God sees when He looks at our heart.

Bible Verse of The Day – Hype vs. Faith – 6-4-17

by

Have you ever heard a message that was based on hype? Have you ever made a decision and then asked yourself “what did I just do”?

Hype can be very dangerous for us if we don’t recognize it and learn how to avoid it.

We just recorded a new video on this topic and we’d like you to watch it.

Please click here to watch the video now.

Hype will cause us to make choices that we almost instantly regret. Faith will give us God’s peace as we follow His leading.

Please click here to watch the video now.

So it’s important that we walk in faith and move based on God’s leading, not based on pressure or manipulation.

Please click here to watch the video now.

Enjoy your day and stay close to God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-3-17

by

Ecclesiastes 3:7 (NKJV) 7 A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;

Sometimes people have a hard time with this one. Some people just like to talk, but rarely ever listen.

Have you ever been in a conversation with someone where you couldn’t get a word in edgewise, no matter how hard you try? This can be pretty frustrating for the person who is stuck just listening to the other person talk and talk and talk.

What’s worse, though, is that this kind of thing can be dangerous for the person who never stops talking long enough to listen.

First, it will cause people not to want to be around them or talk to them very often. But most dangerous is the fact that people who always want to talk and never want to listen also rarely ever learn anything. They’re so busy talking that they miss it when people try to share important things with them.

Do we know anyone like this? Do we struggle to complete a sentence when we’re talking with this person? Do we constantly get cut off when we try to speak?

Or are we one of those people? Do we constantly walk all over people when they try to talk with us?

It’s something we need to be careful of. Sometimes it’s completely unintentional, maybe because we’re excited about something and want to share it with others. But many times it’s due to being inconsiderate or self-centered.

That doesn’t mean that it’s done purposely. But something that we need to be made aware of.

And it’s never too late for any of us to learn, no matter what age we are.

So let’s be kind, courteous and considerate and remember that there is a time to speak and a time to keep silent.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-2-17

by

Romans 8:1 (NKJV) 8 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Oh that lovely flesh. It sure does like to get in the way of God’s will for us.

When the Spirit of God speaks, know that the flesh will almost always try to get us to do the opposite, even when we know deep down what the right thing is.

We spend a lot of time fighting the lust of the flesh, because the flesh is unruly and wants what it wants. That battle can cause us to get tired and want to give in at times.

Romans 13:14 (NKJV) 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

Don’t let it win. Learning how to acknowledge when the flesh is trying to rule over the decisions the Spirit of God has for us takes work, time and effort. But it is well worth every bit of it.

How do we know when the flesh is going against God’s will for us? There is usually an irritation that comes. We will feel confused and have a lack of peace within us. At that point we need to be seeking God and asking Him “what’s happening?”. Get in His word. Pray, and listen. Then take the steps He shows us, in faith.

When we walk according to the Spirit of God there is peace no matter what is going on around us.

Psalm 143:10 (NKJV) 10 Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
