God has set a path before each of us as individuals. He has also set a path before the church as a whole.

In today’s video, Turn Around, we teach about the importance of staying on God’s chosen path for us, and how to get back on track if we’re off the path. 

This is 1 of 2 videos. It’s informative and eye-opening, so we hope you’ll watch it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-25-21

2 Samuel 5:22-25 (NKJV) 22 Then the Philistines went up once again and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim. 23 Therefore David inquired of the Lord, and He said, “You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. 24 And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then the Lord will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.” 25 And David did so, as the Lord commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer.

David asked God for counsel, and He gave Him specific instructions in order to do what needed to be done.

The question today is, do we inquire or ask the Lord God before we make decisions? Do we give Him a chance to guide our steps?

Or do we make all of our own choices and decisions and then wonder why we don’t see victory, or don’t have any plan to push back what is attacking us or our loved ones.

I was sitting in the dentist chair recently. I had been needing a root canal for some time. I had actually waited too long and I had developed an infection in that tooth.

I went to the dentist and he told me, “it’s time to do it now or it will get worse, or you may end up losing the tooth completely.

I have had nothing but trouble over the years when it comes to root canals. They were never successful for me.

So, I immediately thought, “why don’t we save all the trouble, and just pull it?”. That was an option, after all.

The dentist told me it was completely up to me. However, he did strongly suggest to let him do the root canal. Or, if I wasn’t comfortable with him doing it, he would refer me to a specialist.

As he gave me time to decide, I asked God. “What do I do?”.

I heard very loud and clearly, “root canal”.

I knew it wasn’t me, because I despise the thought of root canals. And, to be honest, I almost wanted to pretend I didn’t hear it.

But I told the doctor when he asked again, “we need to go with the root canal, and there is no need for a specialist. You can do it”. I knew in my heart that was the plan God had shown me.

Today as I sit here, the root canal has been done. Thank God all went well, no pain whatsoever, from start to finish. It was a success!!

Thank you to those who have been praying for me without even knowing why.

God truly heard your prayers and brought me through with not even a pinch of pain.

Some are waiting on an answer today. You need direction.

Don’t give up. Ask and keep seeking God until you get His answer. And then when you do, go for it!!

He will direct us if we inquire.

Proverbs 16:9 (NKJV) 9 A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-21-21

Psalm 32:8 (NKJV) 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

He will instruct, teach and guide us with His eye.

This is as clear as we can get. There is no mystery. There is no trying to figure out what He is saying. There is no way that we can misunderstand what is being said here.

When we get the reason why we live, we will love that we have Someone to instruct us, teach us and guide us on the how, what and when of it all.

Learning how to follow Him is something we must work at each day. But, if we listen and we watch, He will be sure to show us.

Do you feel like you have been living your life your own way?

Do you feel that things in your life could be better, but you have reached the limits of how far your understanding and knowledge can take you?

Do you feel like the road you travel, you travel alone?

It’s time to let God travel with you, my friend. You were never meant to go this journey on your own.

He will guide you with His eye.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-9-21

John 5:19 (NKJV) 19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

The Son can do nothing of Himself. Though Jesus and His Father were One, He did not do things on His own.

There was not any one time that Jesus acted independently of His Father. Instead, He only did what His Father showed Him.

What does that tell us then?

We need God, His direction and His authority moving in and through us.

With God, all things are possible. But without Him, we are all on our own, with only our own wisdom, our own knowledge, our own understanding and our own strength.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be on my own.

There are some who will do things on their own, with God’s name attached to it. Beware.

We need to have the Holy Spirit and His sharp discernment to recognize what the motive is behind their actions.

God, may we draw near to you and look to You for help in these days and times. We need Your direction.

Jesus, God’s only Son, says that He can do nothing of Himself. Let us learn from His very words, and then act accordingly.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-15-20

Genesis 2:7 (NKJV) 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

There comes a time in our lives where we may need to be reminded about where we came from.

I call it my little wake up call; my chance to get back on track. Usually if we are being reminded about this, it’s because we have lost our way, or gotten off the right path in one way or another.

It can happen to us more easily than we might think.

When things get busy and crazy around us, it’s very easy to do. That is why the enemy will use busyness. It’s an innocent face that leads to a road of destruction and separation from God.

Families, husbands, wives, pastors; pull back the reins. Call everyone to the table, sit them down and have a heart to heart talk.

Slow this buggy down, bring it to a halt if we must. Do it, and get ourselves back on track.

The reminder requires us to ask, “Who do we belong to?”.

Who do we answer to? Why do we do what we do and love every minute of it?

If we’ve gotten off track, these questions are going to hit hard. They may even offend us and cause us to bristle up. And if we’re not careful, we will go right into defending ourselves.

We are not looking for defense. These are just little reminders to make us ask why we do what we do.

The beginning of humanity started with the breath of Almighty God being breathed into one man’s nostrils. That breath brought LIFE.

Life came from God and life remains with God. If we stick with Him and obey His word, we live!

Don’t forget where it all began.

The Father, the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are life. Without Them there is darkness and death.

Genesis 1:2 (NKJV) 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

If we’ve lost our way, let’s get back on track. Cry out to our Maker, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let Him breathe life back into us again.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-5-20

Matthew 11:30 (NKJV) 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

We need to be loyal to God in walking out what He puts in us to walk out. We can’t take for granted what He has gifted us to do. It is incredibly important to let Him train us and guide us in doing it the way He wants us to do it.

So many times, people will jump out on their own to do something for God. They end up tired, hurt, abused and broke, because there is no protection in doing what we think He wants us to do.

Wait. He will let us know for sure what it is He has for us. There is no jumping out ahead of Him and getting it right. It doesn’t work that way.

Are we tired today?

Do we feel like we still need to keep on doing what we’re doing, but we are getting no results from all our hard work and effort?

Have we lost our joy and  find ourselves feeling fatigued?

We may be on the verge of burnout and our health is decreasing, trying to keep up with everything around us.

Stop. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, our Helper.  Remember, His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

Rest in knowing that if things aren’t going easy for us and it’s too heavy to carry out, it may be time to pull back and take a good look at what we THINK we need to be doing and make sure it is what God has put in our hands. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-19-20

Job 37:5-6 (NKJV) 5 God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. 6 For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’; Likewise, to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.

How marvelous is His voice!

We can often not even comprehend the things He does. Our minds don’t go there…we are minute in our ways and our thinking when compared to our mighty and very powerful God.

That is why it is so important that we go to Him for everything. He will fight for us. He will show us what to do. He will help us hold our peace.

Exodus 14:14 (NKJV) 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

Many times, what He has to say or show us is way beyond our understanding and conventional human wisdom. But if we trust Him, it will be a marvelous turnout. And we will learn of the difference between following Him or doing it the way we are used to doing it.

Is God teaching us a new way? Are we listening, or are we too comfortable in doing it the same as usual, to the point where we are ignoring such a wonderful and marvelous way because we cannot comprehend it or figure it out?

When God speaks regarding our situation, we need to forget about comfort, and move toward what He is saying.

There is not always a comfortable place with God.

We are almost always on the move in one way or another. And things are exciting, different and changing. It can be very hard sometimes to make these moves, but they will be fulfilling and worth it if we follow through!

Who is ready to hear what God has to say? He will thunder with His marvelous voice.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-17-20

Judges 8:24 (NKJV) 24 Then Gideon said to them, “I would like to make a request of you, that each of you would give me the earrings from his plunder.” For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.

Gideon was used by God to tear down the altar of baal. But along the road he lost sight of his purpose and made the wrong request; he asked for the golden earrings from the plunder the men had taken.

This was the very thing that would pull him down and cause him to fall. The very thing that would make him stop winning and lose all that God would have had for him.

Gideon knew better. But he did it anyway. He requested them and then made them into an ephod (a type of decorated priestly garment), and it became a snare to him and those around him.

Judges 8:27 (NKJV) 27 Then Gideon made it into an ephod and set it up in his city, Ophrah. And all Israel played the harlot with it there. It became a snare to Gideon and to his house.

Are we dabbling in things that will destroy our relationship with God? Are we desiring or lusting after things that look and feel good, but are not good for us?

We have to know what will cause us to fall. And once we recognize those things, we need to beware of them trying to come back into our lives.

Do not forget the things or the relationships that God says to stay away from. Some things, no matter how good they look, are nothing more than a trap and will cause us to fall.

They will cause us to lose everything that God has for us.

What is most important to God is to see us take to heart the things that He says are good for us.

Material things can destroy us if we don’t keep them in their proper place. If we can’t say no to some things, we’d better take a good hard look as to why.

Most times it is something we need to address within ourselves. It is something that has a hold on us and will likely become a snare to us at some point.

Only God should hold that place in our hearts.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-3-20

Psalm 119:103 (NKJV) 103 How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

When God answers us, we know it.

It is so satisfying, so complete, so unbelievably fulfilling.

At one time in our lives, we were starving for an answer for a situation we were in. We cried day and night, for we knew not what to do.

We wanted to do the right thing, but we hadn’t a clue as to what it was.

Am I talking to someone today? You’re there right now.

We saw things happening around us, and we knew that change was on the horizon. We just didn’t know what that change was quite yet.

And I will add…it’s an uncomfortable place to be when we haven’t the know-how, the know-what or the timing of it all. We feel like we are just in the air waiting for something to fall on our ears or in our heart. Something with substance to it.

When we get it, and when the word of the Lord hits and we see the answer, oh how sweet the sound of it!

Let me say it is like honey to our mouths. It is sweeter than sweet. Why? Because it’s the WORD that we needed, and everything in us says, “YES and Amen!!”
