Perspective
Sometimes we get in places where it feels like there is nothing but defeat, but our trials aren’t always about us. Sometimes God is trying to reach someone around us through what we’re going through. Our steadfast walk becomes their example of who God is and what He will do in their life.Scripture: Daniel 6
Apprehended For Perfection
Matt 5:48 commands that we “be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect”. We see that as impossible so we expect that to happen when we enter Heaven. God is getting us perfect as we move forward in relationship with Him. We want faith first, but God builds faith as we walk, not before. We were apprehended by Christ for perfection – on earth where the…
The Author Of My Life
Jesus authored our lives as He lived His. We need to learn of Him, to use what He said and did and apply it to our lives. As we allow Him to lead us through in faith and obedience, the Kingdom is revealed and the world sees us as witnesses to how the Kingdom works in love, peace, faith, truth, hope and they will want in. We need to stop listening to the voice that…
Crowns (Zech 6) (Part 10)
4 men who came through captivity in Babylon were part of the ordination of Joshua – 4 ordinary men who didn’t partake of the things of the world and obeyed God. As we walk in faithfulness and choose Him over the world, we’ll gain crowns as well.
Righteousness & Love (1 John)
The Bible tells us that we have righteousness by faith – but we are also compelled by Jesus’ life and example to do righteousness – and that certainly includes loving one another. God has a plan for His church and that plan has a deadline. We must move in concert with one another or, because we’re one body, we slow the progress of His church.
Weapons
There’s a lot of talk about weapons today but there are no worldly weapons that will solve today’s issues. God reminds us in His Word that are weapons are not carnal, but spiritual and it’s with His weapons that we can make a profound difference in this world.
Lay Aside Every Weight (Hebrews)
The Book of Hebrews serves as a reminder to us to go back to the foundations of what Christianity is. Our relationship with an indwelling God who directs our path daily as we yield to Him sets us free from bondage to the law. We can lay aside the weight of trying to get ourselves to heaven. Faith in His promises reassures us that as long as we stay in relationship with…
A Devout Man
There were 3 men described as “devout” in the New Testament. Each story was about how God moved powerfully in their lives, honoring their devotion. Be encouraged that as we determine to be devout in our relationship with God He will use us and move through us in the same ways. Scripture: Acts 8:1-3, Luke 2:25-35, Acts 10:1-6
Belief & Surrender Travel Together
The first thing we all want in our Christian walk is belief, but in fact, our surrender must come first. Surrender is the action that produces faith. Gideon asked the angel where the God of miracles was. He was there wanting to use 300 men to defeat an innumerable host of Midianites, but first Gideon had to obey God and destroy his father’s altars to false gods. As we…
Believing
We need to come to the place where we believe, truly believe, the things that God is saying. When we come to that place, God can use us to speak to those around us what He would say to them were He standing there when they need Him. A need specific word straight from Him through the mouth that He has given us. Time with God strips us of the hardness and unbelief that…
