Bible Verse of The Day – 3-7-17

by

Proverbs 30:5 (NKJV) 5 Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

As we sat down by the water early this morning and watched the sunrise over the ocean waters, I was reminded of how blessed we all are.

Looking around at such beauty every day is just one of the ways that God reminds us of His love for us. Every day we can open our eyes and see His creation. Every day we can feel His love. Every day we can know how much we mean to Him, as we just open our eyes and look around.

Children of God, we are a blessed people. Enjoy today. Praise Him in all that our eyes can see. His love for us is so strong. He cares greatly. We can see it everywhere.

Trust Him with our lives. He is faithful to shield and protect us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-6-17

by

John 4:42 (NKJV) 42 Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

I love this! The fact that the people did not just take the woman at her word, but that they sought Him out and heard Him for themselves shows that they were hungry for the truth.

This is exactly what we, the church, need to do today!  We need to have Him in our lives, and moving day to day on a personal, one-on-one level.

We need to be seeing Him and watching Him move in our own situations. We need to lean on Him and cry out to Him to help us.

He will move in our own lives daily, hourly, minute by minute, when we hear His voice and we do what He tells us to do. Amen.

We believe for ourselves, not because someone told us to, but because we sought Him and found Him!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-4-17

by

Psalm 73:25-26 (NKJV) 25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. 26 My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Those busy seasons in our lives do come upon us at times. But if we spend the time we need with God, to sit, listen and rest, all that busyness won’t get to us.

You know that feeling you get  sometimes when it gets extremely busy? That overwhelming, get me out of here or I’m going to lose it feeling? God has a way of calming us right down and making that all disappear.

Just a little reminder today to make time for our MAKER. He will get us through it.

Our strength comes from HIM. Amen.

Happy day! You are loved and appreciated!

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-3-17

by

John 8:10-11 (NKJV) 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”

“Neither do I condemn you”. So many teachings focus on those words spoken by Jesus. And they are very important words!

But the last few words of that verse are equally important. And, sadly, they get left out most times when we hear this lesson taught.

You see, it’s important that we know and understand that Jesus did not come to condemn us. He came to save us. But He also spent a fair amount of His time here on earth teaching people how to live as righteous followers of God, turning away from sin.

Telling people to turn from their sin isn’t popular. Nor is it always easy to do. But it’s a necessity. And if we are never told or reminded to turn from our sin, we will never grow and mature as a believer.

And we all need to be reminded once in a while. Every single one of us.

So as we walk this narrow road, let’s remember that along with the grace and mercy of God, there is also growing and changing that takes place on our end.

Go, and sin no more.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-2-17

by

John 3:35-36 (NKJV) 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

What stands between life or death for us? Only our own hearts.

Our hearts make the choice. We can either receive or not receive the truth; the very thing that will set us free. Each one of us has the most wonderful opportunity. And that is to have everlasting life through God’s Son, Jesus Christ.

This is the most precious gift anyone could ever have given us. Beautiful everlasting life forever. And not just with anyone, but with the One who loves us so much! The very One who gave Himself for us.

Isaiah 53:5 (NKJV) 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

When I think of this and I apply it personally, I literally get sick to my stomach at times when I think that a human being would go through what He went through because of His love for His Father and for us. This is mind blowing love.

This is what gives us the ability to become God’s son or daughter, by taking God at His Word, having faith and believing in His Son Jesus Christ. If we have answered yes to this, Praise be to God!!

The next thing we need to know is that God has a purpose for each one of His children. Are we letting Him change us and show us His plan for us?

Are we learning how to walk with Him daily and let Him guide our steps, so that we may accomplish whatever it is we are supposed to be doing while we are here?

Once we have given Him our hearts, and we let Him change us, the next thing we must give Him is our time. This may be hard at first, due to our pre-existing commitments.

However, do whatever it takes to give Him first place. It may take a little bit of time to move things around, but we can at least start working toward that goal.

Once we have given Him our heart and our time, our life will be more meaningful and peaceful.

God loves you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-1-17

by

Psalm 34:18 (NKJV) 18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

Do you have a broken heart today?

Has someone you love done something to hurt you? Maybe you have lost someone. Or maybe something else has happened that has broken your heart.

We’re here to tell you today that God is a healer of broken hearts.

Psalm 147:3 (NKJV) 3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.

There is no physician in the world who can heal your broken heart. But God can. As the verse above says, He binds up the wounds of the brokenhearted. And when God fixes something, He fixes it right.

He doesn’t take shortcuts or use shoddy materials. He is the Master at making things new again.

So if your heart is broken and bleeding, give it to Him. Let Him put His finger on your wounded heart and heal it like no one else can.

It may not happen overnight, but it will happen if we let Him do His work in us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-28-17

by

Matthew 6:34 (NKJV) 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Sometimes when devastating things happen to us it can open the door to fear and insecurity. We have to be careful not to let this cause us to become controlling, trying to make sure everything goes the way we think it should go.

Why would someone become controlling? This might happen if a person lost something or someone dear to them, or they went through something very traumatic.

When this happens it can cause us to want to try to control all the situations in our lives so that we never have to go through or feel that kind of pain again.

There is NO security in being a controlling person. It may seem like we feel better when we seem to have everything under our control, or when we know exactly what is going on every second. But this is a false sense of security.

Nobody on earth knows what tomorrow will bring, no matter how much control we have. Our security should not come from trying to make everything go a certain way.

Maybe over the years we have learned that doing things a certain way brings us some kind of relief or peace of mind because we know what to expect. The controlling part is when we begin to force it on others.

There is no freedom in this way of living; not for us or for those around us. Especially those we love.

Controlling people cause others to do things that they don’t normally do through intimidation, manipulation or pressuring them into it. Whenever we force someone to do something our way, it is not good.

How do we stop living a controlling life?

We turn to God and ask Him for forgiveness for trying to do it all on our own. We ask Him to bring healing and deliverance to us. We need to rebuke the fear and insecurity that crept in when we were weak and in pain from whatever tragic or painful situation we went through.

Ask Him to help us to trust Him, to help us not to worry, and to set us free from being controlling, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our prayers are with you. We are here and standing with you for complete freedom.

Know that even after we pray and we feel God’s peace, that feeling of fear, insecurity and worry may try to come again at times. Rebuke it in Jesus’ name, and remember that our trust is in Him and Him alone every day and every moment.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-27-17

by

Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

No matter how discouraging things may look right now, no matter what our eyes see in front of us, no matter how we feel on the inside, we need to remember Who we belong to.

We need to hold on to His promise and we need to keep our faith in Him strong.

Don’t listen to the voices that whisper “what ifs” to our minds. Don’t listen to the emotions that say “I can’t do this”. Don’t let those things take you down and snuff you out. With God, all things are possible.

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Take a deep breath and look up. Say “Father, take this from me. I can not bear to carry it any longer. I hand it all over to You. I’m done trying to do it on my own. It’s simply just too much for me.

Let Your will be done oh Lord. In Jesus Name I ask. Amen”.
