Bible Verse of The Day – 10-31-16

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.

The word of God can help us in our daily walk. It is alive!

As we read God’s word, He will direct our steps and show us what to do and what not to do at different times.

The word of God is sharper than any two – edged sword. Now that’s pretty sharp!

But it has to be. It has to reach those areas in us. And sometimes it needs to go deep to get our attention. It has to reach those places that are hidden, that if not removed completely can cause us to backslide or fall at times.

The word of God is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart. God knows us better than we will ever know ourselves. We can be sure of this.

He can change those things in us that we dislike and that don’t bring honor to Him; those things that get us in trouble. But only if we let Him shine a light on those areas. He will show us how to get free and stay free.

God’s WORD is what we need every day. Just a little will go a long way.

Take His word to heart and let it live through us! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-28-16

Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

His word. It’s more than most people, even believers, realize.

His word is life to dead spirits. It quickens them… breathes new life into them.

His word is sustenance for the living. Without it, we would wither and die. But with it, we can live life to the fullest, growing in our relationship with Him and flourishing in it.

God’s word is the light that guides our feet as we walk the path of life. It shows us where to step when it seems like we can’t see anything but darkness in front of us.

His word causes us to rise up when we fall. It gives us new hope where there seems to be none. It lights a flame within us where there was none.

His word is everything we need in life. We can have every possible material thing. We can even claim to follow God. But without His word, we are empty and lifeless.

John 17:17 (NKJV) 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

Without His word we will wander, without direction, longing for something, anything, to make us feel alive again.

God’s word is everything. There is nothing that can take its place.

So if you’re feeling empty or lifeless today, don’t reach for your phone. Don’t turn on the TV. Don’t spend time playing another computer or video game.

Don’t reach out to a friend or acquaintance, looking for someone to talk to. Reach for His word.

Drink it in. Devour it. Eat, sleep and breathe His word. Let it revive you, resuscitate you and energize you!

Spend time in His word, learning of God and gaining wisdom and understanding. Do this, and your life will never lack meaning or purpose.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-19-16

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.

The day I opened my very own Bible and began to read God’s word, I felt God’s personal touch. I had been saved when I was a child and spent a lot of years in church. The Church taught me many things. But I seemed to have been missing an important part.

I would wait until the doors opened, Wed. or Sunday, etc., to get God’s word for me. I relied on my Pastors to feed me. But it’s not all up to the Pastor.

Pastors need us at times. They need our prayers just as much as we need them and theirs. They are people with a big responsibility and they need a healthy congregation to join them in the vision and the call that God has given them.

One of the things I learned is that I spent more time on my own than in Church. Out of a 7 day week, 2 days maybe in Church, but not always. Sometimes just once. And sometimes not even that. Try feeding our natural bodies once or twice a week, or nothing at all, and see where that gets us.

I’ll tell you where it gets me. Hungry, tired, and WEAK. That’s what I was and it was NOT my Pastor’s fault. It was my own.

Just as our natural bodies need to be fed daily to remain balanced, healthy and strong, our spirit man needs the same. And I needed to learn how to get God on my own, when NO Pastors were around.

We are in a battle every day. This battle doesn’t stop and wait for us until Wed night or Sunday morning so we can get our answer from the pulpit. No! The battle keeps on and if we don’t know what to do, we lose ground. We get pushed back and if we get pushed back far enough, we can lose everything.

Do we feel like we are in that place today? Are we losing ground instead of gaining? Is our Spirit man famished, because of lack of food?

Taking time and reading God’s word daily will fill that emptiness. We will get strong. We will win battles, and have a more personal, one on ONE walk with HIM!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-22-16

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.

The Word of God.

It’s our instruction manual for life. It’s God’s words of life to us. It lives and breathes. It gives us life.

It corrects us when we’re wrong. It encourages us when we’re down. It shows us the path of life.

It’s our food. It sustains us. It brings healing to sick bodies and broken spirits.

It’s a light in a dark world. It’s never-changing and forever true.

God’s word is essential for us to live and breathe as a follower of Christ.

We need to ingest it. We need to live by it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-19-15

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.

Living and powerful. Those are the perfect words to describe God’s Word.

God’s Word is more than just printed text on paper pages.

His word isn’t something that we just read. We need to breathe it in, like oxygen. We need to consume it like food that sustains us, for that’s what it is; our sustenance.

It’s nourishment to our souls, water to our parched spirits, strength for the weary and new life to our dry bones.

No matter what we’re facing, God’s word can lift us up and breathe new life into our tired being and give us a new perspective.

There’s a reason why His word, the Bible, has endured all of these centuries, through thousands and thousands of wars across the globe, through terrible tyrannic governments that tried so hard to destroy it and wipe it from the face of the earth, through famines and desolation across many nations.

His word is alive! It is powerful!

So we encourage you today to immerse yourself in it. Soak it in and let Him speak to you through it. Don’t read it with a motive. Just let it penetrate you. Then, when you do this, you will begin to understand what it means when the scripture says that the word of God is living and powerful!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-28-15

Psalm 107:20 (NKJV) 20 He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.

God’s word brings healing, and deliverance from destruction.

When we are living in His word, we will find that is when we are at our strongest.

His word feeds us, nourishes us and brings strength and wisdom in all that we do.

Take His Word to heart today. It will change our lives if we let it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-17-14

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.

Have you ever had surgery?

Good surgeons work with great precision. They use a scalpel to remove things from the human body; cancer, tonsils and other things that may need to come out for various reasons. They know that the life of the person they’re operating on is in their hands.

God is also a surgeon. His scalpel is the Word.

His word is used to surgically remove the things in our lives that don’t belong or don’t need to be there.

Sometimes surgery can be painful. It hurts for a while after the surgery, but then we heal and the pain goes away.

God is the ultimate surgeon, knowing exactly what we need, even when we don’t know it. What’s even better is that God never, ever makes mistakes. If God performs surgery, we should never question Him! There is no risk of malpractice with God!

Is there anything in your life today that God want’s to surgically remove? Do you have sin in your life that you just can’t seem to conquer? How about a sickness or disease? Is there worry or strife?

God can fix any and all of these. But we have to give Him permission.

Get into God’s word and let Him use it to cut out those things in our lives that aren’t good for us. It might hurt a little at first. It might even hurt a lot. But we will be so much better off for it in the long run.

And God is the ultimate healer, too, so once the surgery has been performed, He knows exactly how to makes us like new again.

God’s operating room is open. Step right in!

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-16-13

(Matthew 13:58 NKJV)  Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

It is those who believe and put their trust in Him that shall be saved, see miracles, healings taking place, financial situations changed, marriages restored, deliverances from demonic activity and changed atmospheres!

If we don’t believe, then these things aren’t going to be happening for us. It’s all in whether we believe or not!! We can talk the talk, but what it comes down to is this; do we really believe or are we just speaking it?

Do we know the language so well that we can convince ourselves that we actually believe just by saying it? It takes more than just saying it; we have to have a knowing on the inside of us that backs up our words, our thoughts, and our actions.

The gospel has been used and abused so much that it seems to have lost its edge. We need to bring back the edge, the reverence, the newness, the GREATNESS, and the FRESH Rhema of God, His HOLY Word!

What an honor it is that His Word is so easily accessible to us. Now we must take it and believe it in order for it to work in our lives.

(Mark 9:23 NKJV)  Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

As we walk through each day, we need to take time to embrace this beautiful Word that was offered to us, by faith, through believing and receiving such an amazing gift given to us all. The Holy Word of God!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-20-13

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

David is comparing God’s words to honey and he is saying it is sweeter than HONEY!!

Do you know how good honey tastes? Oh… it is so good. but God’s Word is even better!! His Words are always there for us. We just have to seek Him and listen.

God may be portrayed to us differently, depending on each individual speaker, pastor, priest etc., but we can find God ourselves by reading His Word and listening to His voice. He will lead us, guide us and teach us His statutes.

If we think of God being this strict and harsh Father, then we really need to spend some one-on-one time with Him. He will show us how much He cares about us and loves us.

We shouldn’t cringe when we are asking God for an answer to something; we should run to Him and embrace Him, knowing that His words are sweeter than honey to our mouth.

We challenge you today to go after God and get His words for you and your situation.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-10-13

(Hebrews 4:12 NKJV)  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.

The Word of God is more than just ink on paper. It’s alive!

The Word of God is our instruction manual for life. It gives us everything we will ever need to live our life on earth successfully and victoriously.

Do we have questions? God’s Word has the answers we need.

There is not a single situation in our lives for which God’s Word doesn’t offer the solution or the wisdom we need to make a sound decision. We can study the lives of godly men and women in history and learn from them.

We can glean understanding in many things by learning from those who have walked before us.

The Word of God is truth. It teaches us right from wrong. It teaches us the difference between good and evil. It teaches us how to be overcomers. It teaches us about healing, deliverance, God’s provision, grace, mercy, salvation, forgiveness, compassion and so much more.

We’d like to encourage you to spend time in God’s Word. Take just a few minutes, pick it up and read it. Ask God to give you a desire to know His word. Once you get started reading it and learning it, you won’t be able to stop!

Be blessed and encouraged.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-3-13

(John 17:17 NKJV)  “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

We are sanctified by His truth. God’s truth cleans us and sets us free from sin.

That truth is His word. Taking His word into ourselves helps us to see and understand things more clearly.

God’s word isn’t something that we can consume just once and get the full benefits of! We need to get it into ourselves over and over again, a little at a time, until we are full and overflowing.

Whatever we are full of will flow out of us. If we fill ourselves with darkness, darkness will flow out. If we fill ourselves with light, light will flow out!

The truth of God’s word gives us life everlasting, and gives it abundantly.

Are we letting God sanctify us by His word? Are we letting His word wash over us and bring us His light?

There is nothing better in this world than God’s word. Cherish it, study it and live it out.
