Give God Something To Work With 4/9/2020 Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”  Jeremiah 1:12NKJV Many times in life we find ourselves in different situations – sometimes good and other times challenging.  In times of challenge we need God to move in our favor.  It could be a life and death situation, but then it may be a less grave situation.  Regardless, when we pray we must pray in faith if we want Him to answer. Hebrews 11:6 says that without faith it is impossible to please God because he that comes to God must believe He is and that He…

God Our Protector 4-22-2020 “His truth shall be your shield and buckler.”  Psalm 91:4bNKJV This is an unprecedented time we are living in.  A pandemic has been declared because of the ongoing crisis with the Coronavirus.  That being the case, so many people are fearful and even in a panic. As children of the Most High God (Elyon), we should not be fearful.  Psalm 91 is a powerful and yet comforting passage of scripture for such a time as this.   In verse 4 we have the promise that His truthfulness and faithfulness will be our shield and buckler.  God’s truthfulness implies that whatever He says is true, so you can depend…

“Don’t Let Go” 4-2-2020 “Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.”  Hebrews 10:35 If there is one thing we need today, that would be confidence.  Confidence in this scripture  means boldness, out-spokenness and bluntness.  People who are confident can come across as  arrogant and cocky.  Yet the fact is they are just sure of themselves, and there is no hesitation in their speech or actions.  That is good if you have something or someone to back you up.  Truth is, if you are a Christian, all heaven will back you up when you stand boldly and confidently on the promises of God. Second Chronicles 16:9a…

Do What You Were Created To Do 1-11-2020 Lucifer, before his fall from the presence of God had one job and that was “to shine” (Isaiah 14:12-17; Luke 10:18).  Lucifer’s name (Hb #1966 helel “a shining one”) comes from “halal” (Hb #1984) which means “shine”.  Halal is one of the Hebrew words that mean “praise”.  That was Lucifer’s job – to praise.  All glory goes to and belongs to God.   God has said that we are not to have any other gods before Him (Exodus 20:3).  Revelation 5:13 provides a glimpse into the very presence of God:      And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth…

God’s Medicine 5-19-19 In Proverbs 4:20-22 we find Solomon instructing his son in the way of wisdom as he shares with him: “My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.  Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart.  For they are life to those who find them and health to all their body.” NASB In his impartation of wisdom we find a powerful declaration concerning the word of God.  Verse 22 declares that the word is “health” to all the body.  In Hebrew the word health means healing, cure, health.  It comes from the word Rapha meaning…

Give Attention To The Word 3-7-19 Proverbs 4:20-22NASB says “My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.  Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart.  For they are life to those who find them and health to all their body.” This scripture is telling us to “attend” to His word.  This is an on-going process in the life of the believer.  Keeping the word of God before your eyes and going into your heart will bring life to you.  “You are what you eat.”  Have you ever heard that before?  You eat junk, and you will produce…

You Are Blessed 2-10-19 If you are born-again, then God as called you blessed.  You are blessed with the very same blessing that God gave to Abraham.  When Abram (name later changed to Abraham) left his father’s house at God’s command he traded up.  He traded up to an inheritance that far exceeded anything he could have ever imagined.   In Genesis 12:1-3 God said to Abram:  “Go forth from your country,And from your relativesAnd from your father’s house,To the land which I will show you;And I will make you a great nation,And I will bless you,And make your name great;And so you shall be a blessing;And I will bless those who bless you,And the one…

God’s Will Is Prosperity 2-4-19 God’s word is so very powerful.  Hebrews 1:3 says that He upholds everything by the word of His power.  Nothing exists and sustains itself.  It exists because God wills it to be so.  You know what else?  God wills there to be some things concerning you as well.  Things like health, wealth, and peace just to name a few things.  He also said if you listen to His commands and obey them, He would make you the head and not the tail; you would always be on top, never on the bottom (Deuteronomy 28:13).  You see that? “He” will make you the head and not the tail. …

Created With A Purpose 1-31-19 No matter what God has called you to do, He has already wired you with the parts to accomplish the purpose for which you were created.  There are times we find ourselves misdirected and filling purposes we were never created to fill.  Truth is, God had the blueprint in mind before He began to form you or me in our mother’s womb.  We are no different from Jeremiah (see Jeremiah 1:4-8), and therefore, need to understand some things as it concerns our purpose: #1 God chose you, like Jeremiah, “before” He put His hands to work forming you and me in our mother’s womb.  In Hebrew…
