Bible Verse of The Day – 2-7-22

1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

God speaks softly, sometimes almost silently.

He wants us to be ever so diligent with our listening, able to hear Him even in the midst of storms, chaos, and even in the heat of intense battles.

This doesn’t come naturally to us as humans. It’s a learned skill; a skill that only comes by way of the power of the Holy Spirit and diligence on our part. But it’s a skill that’s absolutely necessary if we wish to flourish as children of God.

Because God speaks in “whispers”, it can sometimes be easy for us to miss. And this is where we get into trouble.

When God speaks, especially when He speaks to convict us or warn us of sin, we need to be diligent and careful to hear and listen. Not hearing is dangerous. But hearing and ignoring what we hear can lead us down an even more dangerous path.

Ignoring the voice or the promptings of God opens the door to sin. Sin in our lives creates a gap between us and God.

And if we continue to ignore the voice or the promptings of God, we will slowly become desensitized to His voice, leading to our spirit becoming dull and unresponsive to Him. This will eventually cause a separation between us and Him that is truly detrimental to our spirits, since it will open the door to more and more sin in our lives.

We need to pay close attention to God’s voice. It’s the lifeblood of our walk with Him. And without that lifeblood flowing in us, our spirit can eventually wither up and die.

We all want God to speak to us. That’s not even usually something that we would question.

The real question is, “are we ready for Him when He does?”.

We teach on this topic in our newest video, Speak to Me.

We talk about some of the different aspects of God speaking to us, and we even include some examples from our own lives.

This video is fun and informative, so we hope you’ll join us!

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-24-21

John 10:27 (NKJV) 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. ”

We are His sheep. We should be able to recognize (know) His voice and follow Him.

But what is it that keeps us from hearing God? What is it that keeps us from discerning correctly? Why can’t we hear the very thing we need to when we are crying out? What is it that stops us?

It is the noise we let in our hearts that keeps us from hearing Him.

Noise keeps us in turmoil. It keeps us from not hearing God correctly. And when we don’t hear or know what to do, we (His sheep) will often just take a step on our own.

Sometimes it’s a big step, and sometimes small. But if it is a step that is not for us it will cause problems one way or another. Sometimes we won’t notice the problem right away. But, over time, we will see that maybe we should have made a different move. And then we will regret the step we took.

We want to hear Him and follow Him in every area of our walk.

Shut out the noise. That will make it possible.

Noise comes in when we allow our heart to be filled with things that come before God. When we allow people to interrupt our time with Him, whether it is prayer time or reading time or just quiet time.

Noise comes in when we allow situations to take most of us and only leave a little bit for other things.

Noise comes in when we idolize people, places or activities. Anything that comes between us and God will bring noise with it, and we will get off track.

End the noise by eliminating the things that pull on our hearts and take us away.  Hear His voice and follow Him. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-4-21

Greetings in the name of Jesus! 

It’s 2 AMPlease click to watch the video now. and you’re suddenly awake, seemingly for no reason at all. What do you do? Do you roll over and go back to sleep? 

That’s the question we ask in today’s video, 2 AM. 

Today we teach about those middle-of-the-night wake-ups that we sometimes view as not so pleasant, and maybe even not so welcome. 

This video is short, fun and to the point. So, we hope you’ll take a few minutes (literally) and watch it. 

Please click here to watch it now. 

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-5-21

John 10:27 (NKJV) 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

Jesus spoke very plainly in this verse, stating that His sheep would hear His voice and follow Him.

Notice that He didn’t lay down any special conditions for not hearing Him. He mentioned no exceptions and made no excuses for not doing so.

You see, it’s up to us to, first of all, know His voice. We have to spend enough time with Him to know Him, who He is, how He speaks.

Second, we need to learn and understand how to hear Him; how to discern His voice in the midst of all of the noise; the spiritual clutter that we encounter each and every day.

Finally, we need to be sure to follow Him. As our Shepherd, He is faithful to lead us.

None of this is particularly complicated. But it does require us to make a commitment to do it. And once we make that commitment, we need to stick to it.

What’s really awesome, though, is that when we do stick to it, and we put forth the effort, the return (for lack of a better word) is well worth the effort.

Nothing beats knowing Him, hearing Him and following Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-1-20

Deuteronomy 4:36 (NKJV) 36 Out of heaven He let you hear His voice, that He might instruct you; on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire.

God spoke to the Israelites, and Moses said in this verse, they “heard His words”. We may say at times that God doesn’t speak to us. But rest assured that when it comes to getting instructions, He will speak.

We need to stay open to Him and listen. He will let us hear His words.

Don’t think for a moment that He wants us to walk through this life blinded. He is more concerned about our walk here than we could ever imagine.

He stayed with that generation of Israelites until the end. They didn’t make it to the promised land. However, God provided for them. And they lacked nothing while they were alive.

Yes, even after pulling their little shenanigans, God still took care of them.

He is such a merciful God. He is a personal, One-on-one God and He will give us clear-cut steps.

He wants all His children to experience this type of provision, if we haven’t already.

It is so amazing!

It is so beautiful when we fully grasp the fact that God will lead us carefully through the wilderness areas of our life, and much more.

The Israelites were a blessed nation because they were God’s people.

We too are God’s children, and He wants us to walk in His blessings every day, all day!

Galatians 3:26 (NKJV) 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

Let us praise Him today for His guidance in our own personal lives.

What can you share with us today that God blessed you with and you knew it was His provision? Let us know!

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

Why don’t I hear from God? Why doesn’t He talk to me?

We think this will be eye-opening for many, so we do hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-30-17

1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. 

It’s funny that we always seem to associate God with Big, booming, exciting things. 

A loud voice from heaven, tremendous miracles that cause everyone to gasp or stand in awe, or any number of other similar things always seem to stand out to us. 

Despite what we think, though, God is most often found in the things that are easily missed. And the closer we draw to Him, the more easily we begin to recognize those small, subtle, quiet things. 

Early morning quiet time, gentle whispers of reassurance, reminders of His love for us, that gentle knowing deep inside of us and seeing His word stand out to us when we read it are some of the things that we will begin to see and appreciate when we begin to press in and learn of Him. 

And while amazing, eye-catching miracles, and signs and wonders are incredible to behold, it is our relationship with Him that pulls us through from day to day, no matter what comes against us. 

Press into Him. Draw near to Him. Listen for that still small voice. And be in awe.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-30-17

Numbers 22:27 (NKJV) 27 And when the donkey saw the Angel of the Lord, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam’s anger was aroused, and he struck the donkey with his staff. 

Sometimes God will use some pretty unconventional ways of getting our attention and speaking to us. 

And at times He will use people, that we may not necessarily like or prefer, to get a message across to us or to teach us something. 

It’s not uncommon for us to discount certain people or ignore God’s messages to us when they come via these less-than-preferred messengers. But that’s a costly mistake that can hurt us badly if we don’t make corrections and listen to what they have to say. 

Balaam was on His way to a place that God had told Him not to go unless He specifically ordered him to do so. God’s anger was aroused toward Balaam and He placed a large angel in his path to block him from proceeding. 

When the donkey he was riding saw the angel and refused to go further, Balaam stuck the donkey three different times, until God actually opened the mouth of the donkey to rebuke him. 

We can be pretty sure that a donkey was the last thing that Balaam expected to hear talking to him and rebuking him. 

But if God chooses to speak through a donkey, He will do so. And it’s not up to us to decide whether we will listen or not, just because we don’t like the messenger. 

Yes, it’s important that we very carefully weigh the words that are spoken to us. But if someone comes to us with true words of God, it will benefit us greatly if we put aside our preferences as to the delivery method and pay attention to what is being said to us.

Bible Verse of The Day – Did God Really Say That? – 8-27-17

Greetings in the name of our great God and our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Please click here to watch the video now. 

And even when God does speak to us, knowing how to discern it and walk it out is critical.
