Bible Verse of The Day – 3-1-23

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.

Over the years, I have come to understand how important this really is.

Our faith is the key to every aspect of our walk with God.

It’s critical for us to recognize that this faith is not faith in ourselves. It is not faith in a person, such as a pastor or other church leader.

And it isn’t faith for the sake of having faith.

Our faith must be solely, strongly rooted in God alone.

And it is that kind of faith that is being referred to in the verse above.

It is that kind of faith that will allow us to see God move in our lives. It is that kind of faith that will cause us to see miracles; true miracles that are life changing.

This kind of faith is not meant to be on display on Sunday morning. It is not a mechanism by which we obtain social status.

Jesus mentioned this kind of faith on several occasions. And in all these instances, people experienced miracles. Here is one of them.

Mark 5:34 (NKJV) 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

On another occasion, a Roman centurion approached Jesus and asked Him to heal his servant but wanted Him to do so without even going to see the person in need of healing.

Jesus was astounded at the man’s great faith!

Matthew 8:10 (NKJV) 10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!

It is this kind of faith in Him that God wants us to have; the kind of faith that trusts Him implicitly.

So, we encourage you to seek God. Pursue Him with every fiber of your being, not so you can see miracles, but so you can see Him for who He is; the One who created everything we see. The one who breathed life into our lungs and created the rhythm of our heartbeats.

And, yes, even the One who still does miracles each and every day.

For without faith, it is impossible to please Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-26-22

Hebrews 11:8 (NKJV) 8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

Faith is the catalyst for all that we do as followers of Christ.

We obey God and do things He has asked us to do, many times without knowing how to do it, or even why He wants us to do it.

Some might call this blind faith. But it’s really not blind at all. It’s a deep trust that we develop as we follow Him and grow closer to Him, learning more about who He is and what He wants for our lives.

This kind of faith is what lights a fire in us to want to obey Him and walk out things that bring fear to the natural mind.

That same faith is what quells those fears and gives us the courage and strength to go places that we’ve never seen, both in the natural and in the spiritual realm, and do things we’ve never done.

Faith such as this is what allowed Abraham to leave his home and venture to a land he had never seen before.

This kind of faith doesn’t just happen. It comes over time as we grow and mature in God. It comes one little step at a time as we learn to trust Him.

Make no mistake. This kind of faith isn’t built on a desire to do great personal feats, prophesy boldly or work incredible miracles.

It is built on a strong desire to love God, obey His word and follow the path He has set before us. It is not selfish or self-centered. It wants only to please Him who created us and put the breath of life in us.

And this faith isn’t a pursuit of faith itself. Faith without a sincere, burning love for God isn’t faith at all, but just a selfish pursuit to be somebody that God hasn’t called us to be.

Trust God. Love Him more than anything else. Put Him first in everything. And our faith in Him will grow like a mighty flame.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-24-22

Hebrews 6:15 (NLT) 15 Then Abraham waited patiently, and he received what God had promised.

Oh, what we can learn from Abraham!

Many times over the years I have heard people refer to “the patience of Job”.

But I have never heard anyone mention the patience of Abraham!

In reality, it was Job’s faith that brought him through his ordeal; his battle with the enemy and the bodily attacks he endured.

Abraham, on the other hand, had patience.

When God promised Abraham that He would make him a great nation, Abraham was 75 years old (Genesis 12:1-4).

By the time Isaac, the child that God had promised him, was born, Abraham was 100 years old. Now that’s patience!

Don’t get it wrong; Abraham was far from perfect. And his wife, Sarah, was just as bad, as she encouraged Abraham to have a child with her maidservant after waiting 10 years or so.

In the end, though, God was faithful as He always is, and Sarah conceived a son in her old age. And Abraham held on for that promise, knowing that God would somehow make His promises come to pass.

Let’s try to put ourselves in Abraham’s shoes for a minute or two.

How would we have handled his situation? Would we have endured long enough to allow God to carry out His plan?

Many of us don’t want to wait 25 minutes, never mind 25 years. But as we mature in Christ, we usually learn that God’s word is true, and His promises are worth holding onto because He is faithful.

And with our maturity, we begin to understand that God’s timing is almost never the same as ours. That’s the biggest thing we can learn when it comes to trusting God and waiting on Him.

Trust God. Wait on Him. It’s not necessarily easy. But it’s God’s plan and His way that we need to follow, not ours!

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-17-22

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

He sent His word and healed them.

There is healing in His word.

What is He saying to us today? What is His healing word for our situation, for our relationship, for our children, grandchildren, for our finances, for our medical condition, etc.? What is His healing word for our country or for this world?

Are our ears open, and are we listening for His word that will bring deliverance from our destruction?

Is it a specific verse standing out to us today, speaking loud and clear? Are we doubting that it could be that simple?

When the centurion went after Jesus and wanted healing for his servant, Jesus did not physically go to heal him. Why?

Because this centurion was a man under authority and had soldiers under him. He knew what it meant to say, “go”, and they would go and do what they were told to do.

He understood the power of words. And he believed that all Jesus needed to do was speak His word.

Matthew 8:8 (NKJV) 8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.

He told the man, “go your way and as you believe, so let it be done for you”. And the servant was healed!

It took faith on the part of the centurion, believing that Jesus could heal Him even if He didn’t go to the centurion’s home!

Matthew 8:13 (NKJV) 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

How much faith do we have? Can we be like the centurion today and believe Jesus’s word over our situation? Do we believe that He can and will bring healing and or deliverance through His word?

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-10-21 – And It Will Move

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of Jesus! 

The disciples of Jesus had failed at casting a demon out of someone, so they asked Him why. 

Jesus answered them. But that answer wasn’t quite what they had expected. 

In our newest video, And It Will Move, we teach about what Jesus said to them, and why it’s important to us, even now, thousands of years later. 

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

Please click here to watch the video now. 

We love you all! 

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-2-21

John 1:18 (NKJV) 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

No one has seen God.

This is a pretty black and white statement made by John.

And yet, in spite of no one ever seeing God, we have faith in Him.

We trust Him to forgive us, sustain us and save us.

Why?

Because He is evident in everything.

We see tangible evidence of Him in the world around us.

We feel the wind. We smell the salt air at the ocean shore. We hear the birds. We see the clouds and feel the rain on our faces. We feel the beating of our heart. We watch our chests rise and fall as we breathe in and out.

More importantly, we understand the feeling of freedom we experience after having our sins forgiven.

We know what it means to have our poor choices (sins) of the past cleansed and removed from us.

We understand what it means to be a Child of the most-high God through the blood of Jesus Christ.

We don’t need to see God. He makes Himself known to us in so many different ways.

And the mystery of God, and who He is, holds a certain level of awe and intrigue for many people.

Personally, I love God despite never seeing Him. I believe that not seeing Him is part of how He works and moves.

He requires that we have faith to follow Him.

In fact, we need to have faith to please Him.

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.

Follow God. Pursue Him. Love Him. But don’t ever worry about not seeing Him face to face.

He is who He is. And who He is is more than sufficient.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-18-20

Romans 10:17 (NKJV) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

God’s word is what helps us to walk in faith. If we don’t have His word in us, the faith we have will be weak. We need to be constantly building it up by keeping His word fresh and new in us.

We’ve got to be hearing Him and what He is saying through His words. And in order to do this, we’ve got to make an effort to spend time reading it and soaking it up.

You know, like one of those books we enjoy and can wait to get home and read. All day we think about getting home so we can get back into it. That’s how the Bible needs to become for us.

It has to be THE book that has priority. The book that calls our name. The book that speaks to us even when we’d rather be doing something else.

Read its words. Stay connected, and we won’t get off track.

We will see change come to us and our situation as we begin to grow in our faith.

WE have to do it, though. No one else can grow our faith for us. Read, and read some more. Hear what it is that God is saying in His word. Take it to heart and enjoy it!!

This book was written for us. It’s our faith builder! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-6-20

Luke 17:5 (NKJV) 5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

In the verse above, the Apostles asked Jesus for more faith so they could walk out the things He was speaking to them about.

Jesus looked at them and flat out ignored their request. Why?

Because, as He told them in the next verse, they didn’t need more faith! They just needed to exercise the faith they already had.

Jesus went on to tell them that if they had faith even as small as a mustard seed that they could do great things!

Luke 17:6 (NKJV) 6 So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

You see, so many of us ask God to give us more faith. But it’s not more faith that we need. We need to learn to walk in the faith that God has given us. We need to grow closer to God so that the faith He has given us will grow stronger in Him.

Some might go so far as to say that they have no faith. But that’s a misconception or a lack of understanding on their part, because the word of God tells us that we have each been given a “measure of faith”.

Romans 12:3 (NKJV) 3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

This means that not a single one of us lacks faith. We just might not know how to use that faith yet. But as we press in to God, He will teach us and show us, as He leads us to do the things He wants us to do.

Remember Peter, who actually walked on the water? He did that with the measure of faith that he had been given, not with some massive burst of faith that was suddenly given to him.

He simply had to obey what Jesus told him to do when He called him to step out of the boat onto the water.

At that split second, he was probably experiencing many things, but he ignored any doubts he had and walked on the water. It was only when he began to think about what he was doing that he began to sink.

So it is with us. It’s important that we get so close to God that when He speaks, we don’t hesitate or try to figure it out in our heads. We just simply listen and then do what He asks of us.

That doesn’t happen overnight. But as we grow closer to Him, it happens a little at a time.

And before we know it, we will be stretching and growing our “measure of faith”, doing the things that God asks us to do with no hesitation at all.

In today’s video, we discuss when Jesus rejected the disciples’ request for Him to give them more faith.

Please click here to watch it now. 

Enjoy your day and keep pressing in to God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-1-19

Hebrews 11:8 (NKJV) 8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

It’s very important to know and understand that Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out. Being called to go out is different than just taking a “step of faith” because we want to or we feel like we need to.

If we are called and we take the steps we know God is asking us to take by faith, all will work out according to His plan. There is no doubt. We say this with all confidence in Him.

But, if we are not called and we take a “step of faith” because we want something in return, that is not the same. And we can fall miserably on our faces and lose everything.

Be sure to obey God when we are called to take a step of faith.  We can’t just do what we want and call it “a step of faith”.

So many Christians today are in trouble because they stepped out in this so-called faith. They have nothing and no one to back them up.

It’s a problem within the body of Christ, and unbelievers are seeing it and running far from it.

How do we get back on track with God?

By acknowledging we were wrong and the steps that we took were nothing more than our own desires, wants, and ambitions.

Admit it and repent for it, asking Him to have mercy.

Psalm 51:1 (NKJV) 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions.

We need to ask God to help us get back on track with Him. It’s not hard. And if we are sincere, God will meet us on that road and show us the way home. Amen.

Psalm 34:17 (NKJV) 17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-17-19

James 2:20 (NKJV) 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

Faith without works. What exactly is James referring to here?

Most times we hear this expounded on with regard to helping others. And while this is accurate, there is also another side to this that James mentions, but we rarely hear about.

Most times we think of and refer to works as something we do for others. We help them, we support them in prayer. We encourage them. We may even give them things.

But what else was James referring to when he was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write this?

He was referring to the things we do for God, in obedience to His spirit.

James 2:21 (NKJV) 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?

You see, we can display our faith by helping others. And we should do this.

But if we fail to follow God’s leading in the areas where He requires something of us, then our faith isn’t really as strong as we might think, is it?

Obviously, God doesn’t ask us to sacrifice our children on an altar. But He may ask us to make other kinds of sacrifices, such as financial sacrifices, sacrifices of our time, or even sacrifices of our will.

And even though we may be happy to surrender ourselves by way of helping others, are we willing to sacrifice ourselves when God asks us to step out and follow Him in other ways that might not be as easy or straight-forward?

Abraham was. And his faith to do so was credited to him as righteousness. And he was called a friend of God.

James 2:22-23 (NKJV) 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.
