Come Alive!
Why would we want to die to ourselves when Jesus not only loves us enough to die for us, but He really like us too! Come to Jesus and come alive!!!
Laughed to Scorn
Have you ever been laughed to scorn? Jesus has! He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. – Mat 9:24 KJVAnd they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. – Mar 5:40 KJVAnd they laughed him to scorn, knowing…
STRENGTH OF MY LIFE
Dear Lord, Thank you for loving us. You are our Daddy, Father, Aba. We love you so much, Father, and we thank you that we can come boldly before your throne of GRACE. YOU ARE THE STRENGTH OF MY LIFE. When we are weak, you are always holding on to us. [Psa 59:16 NIV] 16 But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. STRENGTH…
You Already Have It
We cannot move God to do something He has already done. I receive from God by believing Him. Do you believe that you already have it? Believe Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them]. – Mark 11:24 KJV Jesus told the disciples after they marveled about the fig tree withering away, “Have faith in God (Mark 11:22).” He tells them and us that we shall…
WE BELIEVE
NewsBoys WE BELIEVE is another powerful song that brought tears to my eyes; it expresses my own personal BELIEFS. And as the pattern continues, this song reminded me of the movie GOD’s NOT DEAD 2 where the BELIEF in the lyrics sparked a court battle to defend a teacher’s RIGHT to BELIEF in her FAITH to share JESUS. INSPIRATION We have a lot of flavors in this record, and I think “We Believe” says, all that aside, this is who we are….
That Old Serpent
Revelation 12:9-12 gives us a wonderful description (or revealing) of this generation. I think this describes exactly what happened at the resurrection of Jesus! First, God cast out that old serpent. Then, He restored salvation, strength, and the kingdom to mankind on earth as it is in heaven. And finally, when the devil fell (Luke 10:18), he came down unto the inhabiters of the earth with great wrath because he knows that his days are numbered. This is Our Current…
Love of God
If we could just get a revelation of the unconditional love of God toward us and then allow it to flow through us into, first, our closest family members, and then into the church, and finally into the world, WOW!!! Revival! Don’t Pass Over the Love of God But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and…
You are Welcome to Join Us
The theme running through today’s Bible reading is God saying, “You are welcome to join us!” He said the foreigners were welcome to join the Israelites in Numbers 9:14. In Psalm 61, it is clear that lying, murdering, adulterers like King David are welcome to join us. Proverbs 6 says that even those committing the “things God hates” are welcome to join us. Isaiah 20 reveals some butts! And finally, Acts 18 tells us that God’s people are blessed financially…
The Enemy
Do you know your enemy? Football coaches and players study the teams they are planning to compete with. Warriors send in spies to study the enemy and report back to make battle plans. Christians have a lot of information recorded for them in the Bible about who the enemy is and what he is up to. The Bible is a progressive revealing of Jesus, His will, and thanks to the enemy and our rebellion, God’s plan of redemption! None of…
Life is Hard
We don’t really need to be reminded that life is hard. The Bible tells us that in this life we will have trials and tribulations. I had believed for years that those trials and tribulations came from God as a way of teaching us a lesson or punishment for not living up to His standards. Now I am so thankful that I know that God wants to use His Word to teach us. And He lets us know that we have a real enemy that…
