Bible Verse of The Day – 8-23-16

Luke 4:18 (NKJV) 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

Liberty for the captives. That’s one of the things Jesus proclaimed He came to earth for.

And yet, so many people today are in captivity, bondage to so many things.

Drugs, alcohol, lust, adultery, fornication, pornography, tobacco, bitterness, unforgiveness, envy, strife, demonic spirits and a very long list of other things that could be named are all things that we need to be set free from.

These are the very things that Jesus was talking about; the very things He set people free from when He walked the earth.

And that freedom is still available to us today. We just have to want it and seek it!

So if you’re in captivity to anything, including the things listed above, stop what you’re doing, right now, and reach out for help!

Get free today! Don’t wait any longer. Every day that goes by is another day that you could be living in freedom, not in bondage.

Jesus Christ is able to break the chains that bind you. He is able to set you free, to live the rest of your days as a free man or free woman, not as a slave to the things that bind you and hold you prisoner.

God is waiting. He’s reaching out to you. Turn and run toward Him. Let Him embrace you and set you free today.

Today is the day!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-22-16

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Do you have things in your past that you’re not proud of? Do those things sometimes try to come back to torment you or remind you of who you used to be, before you put your faith in Christ?

Sometimes those things can really work on our minds, trying to make us feel guilty, condemned or worthless. They can even make us feel like we’re at risk of missing out on eternity with our heavenly Father.

But don’t listen to any of it! These are lies from the enemy. He will play games with our minds, trying to make us believe that we’re never going to live up to God’s standards. He will make us feel like less than we are as children of God.

But we’re here to remind you today, right this minute, that you’re free, in the name of Jesus.

You’re free from guilt. You’re free from condemnation. You’re free from death, hell and the grave.

Jesus made sure of this when He took our place on the cross, dying a cruel death. And He sealed the deal when He rose from the grave on the 3rd day.

So don’t let the whispers of the enemy torment you any longer. Turn your back on him and walk away, once and for all. Remind yourself that you have been bought and paid for with the blood of Jesus, Immanuel, God with us.

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

Go! And be free in the name of Jesus!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-6-16

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

Prisons aren’t nice places.

They are full of people who have broken laws and committed crimes of various types. Some are bad, while others are very, very bad. You might even use the word “heinous” to describe some of these crimes. Some of them are unspeakable in their atrocity.

As the criminals in a jail are imprisoned, so can we also be imprisoned by our own sins, our past and our wounds.

Sometimes we are imprisoned by the things others have done to us, not the things we have done to them. People can be hurtful. Sometimes it’s intentional. Sometimes it’s unintentional. Either way, it hurts.

And if we hold onto that hurt, it holds us in a prison of pain and anger. And if we don’t forgive them and let it go, we can also become prisoners of unforgiveness, bitterness and hatred toward them.

This is a deep, dark prison cell that can slowly eat us up and destroy us, if we let it.

But Jesus came and died to set us free from this prison! He came to set free those who are in prison cells of unforgiveness, bitterness, hatred, anger and so much more.

He’s holding out His hand today. And in His hand is the key that unlocks the prison door. That key can set us free from the prison we’re in.

He’s offering it to us. Will we take it? Will we let Him set us free?

It’s up to us. It’s our choice and our decision. Reach out and take it!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-29-15

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

Jesus came to set us free.

He died and rose again to set us free from sin, sickness, death and much more.

If we have put our faith in Christ, we don’t need to live as slaves to sin.

Sin doesn’t have to have power over us. And the only way that it will have power over us is if we let it.

Every day we will be tempted with things that can cause us to sin. Lust, theft, gossip, lying, adultery, fornication and a whole list of other things that can come our way at any moment.

But we don’t have to give in to those things. We can walk away from them. We just have to want to. We have to want to do the right thing. We have to want to make the right choice. We have to want to please God instead of pleasing our fleshly desires.

And if we truly want to do the right thing, God will give us the strength to do it.

It won’t always be easy, and there will be times when we mess up. But if our heart is in the right place, and we make a genuine effort to turn our lives around and live a godly life, God will honor that effort.

And, over time, we will find ourselves making way more right choices than wrong ones.
