Bible Verse of The Day – 8-10-23

Proverbs 28:13 (NKJV) 13 He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

Ignoring, stuffing down or hiding what we have said or done wrong will not help us.

It may take the sting away for a bit as we try to forget it, but peace comes only when we receive God’s mercy by asking for forgiveness.

If we don’t remain an open book with God, and be held accountable to Him, it will be easy for us to overlook the things we should be repenting of and coming clean from.

Whether we think our sin is little or big in God’s eyes, we must repent. Why? Because sin is sin.

We need to keep a remorseful mindset, knowing that God is holy, and that sin will put distance between us and Him if we don’t remove it.

As soon as we know or are convicted, we need to give it up and ask for forgiveness.

Walk away from those things that put distance between us and God.

Remember; covering up our sin will cause us to not prosper. But when we confess, He will show us mercy.

1 Chronicles 29:13 (NKJV)  13 “Now therefore, our God, We thank You And praise Your glorious name.

Thank you, God!

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-28-22

Jeremiah 36:3 (NKJV) 3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the adversities which I purpose to bring upon them, that everyone may turn from his evil way, that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”

As I recently read this verse, I saw something that stood out to me in a big way, so I wanted to share it with you.

But before we dig into it, let me say something that’s relevant and important for us to understand.

The concept of repentance is an integral part of God’s desire for our lives. It is also a critical piece of the puzzle when it comes to our personal salvation.

Now, with that in mind, let’s get back to the verse at the top of the devotional.

If we look closely at the second half of the verse, we see that God tells Jeremiah that “everyone may turn from his evil way”.

What is He saying there? He’s talking about people turning away from their sins; repenting.

But then take note of what he says immediately afterward; “that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin”.

Keep in mind that everything that God has said in the last half of this verse is based on the very first part of the verse; It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the adversities which I purpose to bring upon them.

You see, God was using Jeremiah to warn His people that He was about to punish them for their sins by bringing “adversities” (difficulties, hardships, suffering) upon them.

It’s important for us to understand that repentance is taught throughout the entirety of God’s word, not just in the Old Testament. John the Baptist and Jesus both told the people to repent, as did the disciples.

On that note, look closely at what God said in the opening verse; that if the people would turn away from their sins (repent), He could forgive them.

The implication here is very, very clear; repentance is required for forgiveness.

So, we urge everyone to consider this very carefully. Never let anyone tell you that repentance is optional, and that God will forgive us for our sins simply because we ask Him to while still deliberately continuing in those same sins.

There are requirements on our part. And repentance is one of those requirements. It always has been, and it always will be.

Let’s be sure that we clearly understand God’s word, and that we live by it each and every day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-26-22

Mark 6:12 (NKJV) 12 So they went out and preached that people should repent.

Jesus sent out His disciples. What did they preach? Repentance.

Why? Because we all need this.

Repentance is the beginning of forgiveness.

How much preaching do we hear on the topic of repentance today? How many people do we hear and see repenting of their sins and getting healed or delivered from any kind of demonic spirits?

If there is no teaching on this particular subject, people will not learn the importance of repentance. And thus there are no healings, and no deliverance. There is no change.

Mark 6:13 (NKJV) 13 And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.

We, the church, are at fault for much of this, because we have neglected the teaching of repentance.

We need to repent and get back on track with the message God has for the world.

Matthew 4:17 (NKJV) 17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”

Our family, our church, our country and the nations of the world have forgotten this message and are suffering badly because we are failing to teach this foundational truth.

People are missing out on the freedom and victory this gospel message brings.

Repent.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-14-21

Luke 24:47 (NLT) 47 It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’

As I was recently listening to my Bible while getting ready for my day, I heard this verse and it stuck with me.

There were two key things that stood out. Let’s talk about them!

First, what initially caught my attention was the fact that the word, “all”, was used.

This means that “this message” mentioned here is for everyone.

There is nobody left out.

God does not discriminate against anyone.

This means that no matter what nation we are from, no matter what color our skin is, no matter what our income bracket is and no matter what skills or talents we have (or lack), God is not prejudice and He will not withhold His message from us because of these factors, or any others.

So, what is this message that He gives to us impartially?

That’s actually point #2 that caught my attention. It is this; “There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent”.

You see, forgiveness of sins is available to all. But there is a condition to be met. What is that condition?

Repentance.

The word says that forgiveness is available for all who repent! So, this means that forgiveness is not available to those who do not repent.

Ooh, this is something that’s pretty important if we look at it sincerely wanting to know the truth.

Sin separates us from God. It creates a chasm, a gap, between us and Him. And until we repent and ask for forgiveness, that gap remains.

That is not my opinion, nor the opinion of anyone else. It’s what God’s word says.

Sin is serious. It should never be whitewashed or sugar-coated.

Thankfully, God offers forgiveness. We just have to be willing to lay our sin aside, walk away from it (repent), and ask Him to forgive us for what we have done.

If we are sincere in our repentance, He willingly forgives us. It’s that easy.

It’s important for all of us to admit that we sin. Sadly, it’s part of human nature.

But God, in His mercy, has offered a way for us to be forgiven. It’s up to us to accept His offer.

We recently recorded a video on this topic. If you’d like to watch it, please click here.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-18-21

1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV) 9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light…

We are a chosen people, Lord, and we are crying out to you with a sincere heart, wanting to walk in your light.

We are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, Your own special people. You called us out of darkness. We belong to you.

Being fake and phony about our walk with You only hurts us and others we come in contact with.

If they think we are a believer and then they see us doing things that unbelievers do, well, that just makes people question You and who we say You are.

We are sorry if we have just been going through the motions.

We repent if we have learned the Church “lingo”, but deep down we have not changed our lifestyle, our words or our actions. We have been living a fake life.

We have not fooled You and we don’t fool others. They can tell by our ways who and what we follow. Having a Bible in one hand and the things of the world in the other won’t cut it any longer.

Today we sincerely cry out to You, God. Forgive us.

We want all of You. We want your teachings to touch our hearts and change us, that we may walk in your ways each day. That we may share love, and not hate. That we may not gossip, but turn away from those conversations that may lead us to. That we may not be negative but instead, speak words of encouragement into situations and the people around us.

Help us God today to walk in Your marvelous light. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-3-19

Luke 15:18 (NKJV) 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,

Many, many people are running from God.

Why?

Because they have done things that they are ashamed of and have been convinced by the enemy that God no longer wants them. He has whispered in their ears that their sin is too big for God.

So, they have thrown their hands up, walked away and abandoned their faith. Not because they no longer believe, but because they have given up on themselves.

This is exactly what the enemy wants. He wants us to give up and turn away, abandoning our faith in God and His mercy… His willingness to forgive us.

But we are here to tell you today, right now, that the words you have listened to are lies, straight from hell.

There is no sin too big for God to handle. Our sin isn’t going to shock God and knock Him off His throne. There’s nothing that He hasn’t already seen.

He already knows what we’ve done. He’s just waiting for us to go to Him and genuinely repent. We can’t let our pride or the enemy keep us from doing just that.

It’s time to stop running from God, turn around and run to Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-23-18

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Prayer is powerful! Look what God promises when we take these steps.

He says, “my people”, those called by My name.

He’s talking directly to His people. Those who are saved by grace, those of us who are His children through believing and trusting in His Son, Jesus Christ.

We are His children and He is our Father. He’s talking to us.

God wants to bring healing to each one of us today in a big way. But, for Him to do this we must follow the rest of what He tells us to do in these verses.

  1. We must humble ourselves. Accept the fact that we need forgiveness and healing, and know that we can’t do this on our own. We need God’s help.
  1. We must pray and seek Him. Some may say, ” well, He already knows what I need, why doesn’t He just help me?” Because our help comes as we obey. When we follow His steps, we show Him that we are serious about receiving the answers and the help He has for us.
  1. We must repent for the way we have been doing things and then live to change and do it right.

What happens after that? He promises us that He will hear us, forgive us, and heal our land!! Amen.

Do we want healing in our land today? Consider our own lives… our personal land. Is your home in chaos and in need of great restoration?

Is your relationship with God lost?

Are we missing out on our children’s upbringing because we’re too busy working night and day to pay bills, and still never getting ahead?

Are we living as an alcoholic or drug abuser behind closed doors, but still preaching, teaching, and acting like nothing is wrong in the pulpit or among our brothers and sisters?

Are we walking around fornicating, looking at porn, committing adultery and gambling our life away, etc.?

These are some of the things we need to turn from, the sin that is destroying His people, little by little. This sin is active in people who love God and who long to walk closely with Him.

God wants to heal our land. Our nation, and our “personal land”. Let us humbly come to Him in prayer, repenting of our sins and turning from our old ways, accepting His healing for us today. God is our Healer!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-17-17

1 John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Have any of us sinned? Are we in need of forgiveness?

No matter who we are, the answer to both of these questions is a resounding YES!

Each and every one of us sins from time to time. Each and every one of us is in need of forgiveness.

Romans 3:23 (NKJV) 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

So what do we do? Do we wallow in self pity? Do we give up on pleasing God and just immerse ourselves in more sin, figuring that it’s not even worth trying any longer, just because we made some poor choices?

Absolutely not!

Here’s what we do. We go to God. We confess our sin. We repent (turn from our sinful ways) and we ask Him to forgive us. And then we move on!

And do you know what happens when we do that? He forgives us! Plain and simple. No hoops to jump through. No rituals needed. No penance to pay. Yes, it’s that simple.

It is good to be remorseful when we sin. It shows that we are truly sorry for what we have done. But there is no purpose and no fruit in wallowing in it and letting it defeat us.

So if you have sinned, go to Him. Do what you need to do to get right with God. And then leave it at the foot of the cross.

And that’s where it will stay. For eternity.

Psalm 103:11-12 (NKJV) 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; 12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-7-16

Luke 15:7 (NKJV) 7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance

God loves when we come and repent, confessing our sins to Him.

We may struggle with going to Him, but we shouldn’t be afraid. He welcomes us with open arms. He listens to us and then He forgives us and cleanses us from unrighteousness.

We all fall short at times. Just the other day I was  constantly aggravated over things that really were out of my control. It really affected my attitude throughout most of the day. Later that night as I laid in bed, I felt terrible. I wasted a good day, feeling aggravated.

I asked God to forgive me and help me to stop trying to fix problems that are out of my control. After I unloaded and repented for my behavior and attitude, I was able to rest, knowing that God understands. As I confessed to Him, I felt light again.

The heaviness that comes with sin is draining.

1 John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Rest in knowing that God’s arms are open to us no matter what kind of day we have. He’s ready to listen, He’s ready to speak and ready to forgive.
