Thought For The Day

When you leave the house, do you pray to be at the right place at the right time?   The Holy Spirit wants to lead us to where we will be used of God. He places people in our path to share about Jesus with, as the gospel is the good news people are waiting to hear. Mark 16:15-16 "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. I have had this happen so many times. either the timing that I intended to go to the store was delayed, only to find out later that the person I was to share Jesus with, had just come to work, it was his first day. I love how the Holy Spirit works. Is there a time when the Holy Spirit will not allow you to preach the gospel? Yes. God's timing is everything. Paul was forbidden to preach in Asia, Bithynia. Acts 16:6-7 Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in A...

  Always pray and ask the Holy Spirit to go before you. When you do, you will be on God's timing. Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, over ALL the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Always have a listening ear and you will know how to pray or minister to someone.  Listening while some one wants to unload their concern and need, is very important.

The Hebrew word for prayer:  implies self evaluation or contemplation. The Greek word for prayer: refers to a vow or direction toward God. There is a difference between the two. The Hebrew implying a process of self judging, introspection and binding yourself to God. Whereas the Greek generally pray to include worship and praise and devotion. Prayer is always a petition with thanksgiving. Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all ...

  Noah was not to set his eyes on all the misery and destruction that was going on.  Yes, we can learn from Noah. There was a reason he and his family were not to see the misery taken place.  So why do we fill our minds with all the destruction taken place in our world? Psalm 101:3-4 I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh when will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me; I will not know wickedness. Why does seeing the wicked things cause us to fall away? Because we have now filled our mind with the lies and deceptions in the world.  We are to renew our mind, not pollute it!! When we feed on the worlds news, more than feeding on God's word, we will not hear the Spirit of God direct us to the good things in our new born again life. Matthew 24:11-14 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will ...
