Thought For The Day

Let me ask you a question?  Can you have faith and be a believer without being obedient? No you cannot!! They are married together.  You cannot separate them. They are one. Romans 1:5-6 Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for OBDIENCE to the faith among all nations for His name, among whom you also are called of Jesus Christ. As a great man of God said " Only he who believes is obedient.  Only he who is obedient believes" Dietrick Bonhoffer. When we are obedient, we will live out our faith. Hebrews 3;18-19 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? So we see that they could not enter in because of  unbelief. Have you been praying for a certain thing or persons, yet withholding something in unbelief? I do understand this action on your part, because I have also done the same thing.  Only to have the Holy Spirit correct me and tell me that I was nullifying my prayers with my actions. I repented, and ...

People in ministry are seeing the tares among the wheat.  Some are trying to remove the tares, but they are told in God's word, not to do that. It will uproot the wheat also. Matthew 13:28-30 (Read all 13:30) "He said an enemy has done this." the servant said to Him, do you want us then to go and gather them up? "No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them" "Let them grow together until the harvest, and at that time of the harvest I will send the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn." The field is the world, not the church .  True believers in Jesus and fake believers grow side by side. 1John 1:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; For if they had been of us; they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.  But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you ...

Fellowship is so important.  Do you want the presence of the Lord Jesus? Jesus said where two or three are gathered in His name, He is there. Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." Since He lives in us, He is there and wherever we are. When you fellowship with those that are likeminded, those that believe God's every word to be true and that they are saved and true disciples of Jesus. There is a blessing to be had when they gather together. As we minister to one another, the Holy Spirit will speak through us. He will lead the conversation about Jesus. Beloved, we all need fellowship, as we are all on the journey of faith together. Sometimes someone will say the right word at the right time. Bringing clarity on an issue. Months ago I had some ladies at my house for lunch, and I was sharing my life.  I spoke what the Holy Spirit put on my heart to share. Later I received a call and was told that the thing I ...

 Do you want to see more Divine favor, known as grace in your life? James4:6 But He gives MORE grace.  Therefore He says; "God resist the proud, But gives grace to the humble. In 2 Peter 1, its says that grace can be multiplied. Beloved, did you realize that there is more grace to be had? We all need more grace, more favor with mankind. Wherever we go, ask God for Divine favor with all we come in contact with. I always do. Psalm 25:9 The humble He guides in justice. The humble He teaches His way. Humility does not call us to be less than we are,  for we are more in Jesus.  We are joint heirs . Humility is simple, realizing your position before God. As we humble ourselves, then God will lift us up. David, although he was anointed king, humbled himself when he caught Saul in the cave.  (1Samuel 24:3-12) Being humble is to have a modest opinion of yourself. Not haughty or proud. Years ago we use to sing a song about humility. "Humble thy self in the sight of the Lo...

DO WE EXPECT TO SEE THE SUPERNATURAL IN OUR DAILY LIVES? Notice what will cause the supernatural to manifest. Praise and worship to our God. Acts 16:25-26. But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed. Beloved, notice it was midnight, and Paul and Silas were praying and singing to the Lord. Prayer and praises got heavens attention. The supernatural took place. When Jesus was in His resurrected body, He came through closed doors to His disciples. Sometimes heavy hearts will cause a response from the Lord. John 20:19-20 Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you." When He ...
