Thought For The Day

  We know that the law is good, because God's word says so. 1Timothy1:8-11, But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and the profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man slayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for LIARS, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, according to the glorious gospel of the  blessed God committed to my trust. See the list of those that the law was meant for? All of us have sinned something on that list. Praise God for the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin. Before we were truly saved, not just religious, and going through the motions, but before our transformation began to take place, our eyes were on the world and what it had to offer. Sin! Even the list is found in Revelation 21. Revelation 21:8 "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abom...

  WHAT IS IT THAT BELONGS TO THE HEIRS Of the Kingdom of God? BELOVED, Romans 8 is packed full of information about being heirs with Jesus. It tell us that we will suffer, pain and hardship. Romans 8:15-18 For you did not receive a spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God, and if children, then heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. For I consider that the suffering of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Our flesh will fight the Holy Spirit, because our flesh is to die daily. It wants control. When we are corrected by others or the word of God, we don't see the hardship that a little white lie can cause. A lie is a lie.  White or black it is from the enemies suggestion. He tells us it is no big deal, but...

Looking for Jesus in everything we do. His loving hand is always with us. He is our righteousness, if you have believed in Him and that He is your Savior and Lord you are covered with His righteousness. Beloved, we are washed clean by the blood of Jesus. John 1:7 But IF we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from ALL sin. We are His beloved, and we are joint heirs with Him. Read John 17:3, Read all of that prayer that Jesus prayed to His Father. What is eternal life? Jesus explains it. John 17:3-5 "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. " I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. And now O Father, glorify me together with Yourself, with glory, which I had with You before the world was. Jesus always pointed to the Father. When we pray, we pray to the Father in Jesus name....

  Pride comes after a great blessing. It is when we over-estimate self and under-estimate others. We don't realize that it came knocking on our door. Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom. 1 Peter 5:5 Likewise you younger people submit yourselves to your elders. Yes all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for GOD RESIST THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.  The warning sign, is when you want to be in control, instead of the Holy Spirit. Most believers who have allowed pride to take root, don't realize it. Pride is sneaky. It comes subtly.  People hear it and see it in us, but they refuse to address it. If we don't take notice that it landed at our door, God will humble us. Pride is Satan's nature. Better to repent when you sense its presence, or you will go through a trial that will humble you. Pay attention to your thought life.  Every believer will be tempted with pride some time or anoth...

When you set your heart to ask God for something, do you really believe that you will have the answer? Matthew 21-22 "And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing , you will receive." I always pray before I leave the house, that God will direct me to the one I am to share His love with today. God always has someone. When we pray, we should expect an answer.  Luke 11:9 "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Our answer comes in a day or years, but it does come. God never fails to answer.  John 14:14 "If you ask anything in My name I will do it. Jesus has souls that He wants to reach and bless. I was getting in line at the store, but the manager of the store moved me to another isle.  I knew that would be a divine appointment, and it was. God had hand picked the person that I was to bless and share Jesus with. He was the one who helped me to my car, a true believer. We had great fellowship....

Anytime you share Jesus and the gospel, that is a ministry.  The Holy Spirit works on us first, so that we will have a desire to share God's love. That preparation time   seems like an attack from the enemy, but it is God working on us and in us transforming us to be like Jesus. When the Lord begins to remove things and people from our life, we don't understand what's happening. Some went to heaven and others went their way. People that we thought would always be there, were removed.  We don't understand at first, but then God's word makes it clear, when we look at the lives of those God transformed and used. We are no different then they were. Moses, Joseph, Jacob, David, Job, Paul and many others. They were being prepped to have new and different lives.    Romans12:1-2 I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.  And do not be conformed ...
