Thought For The Day

There is a great falling away taking place in our time as there was in the early church. However, as those who choose to walk away from the Lord, there are multitudes that are coming to Christ all over the world. Something we can rejoice about. For those who choose to believe what Jesus spoke to us and that He is God, He will fill to overflowing with the Holy Spirit. John 17:21-22 That they all may be one, as You Father, are in Me, and I in You; they  also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them , that they may be one just as We are one, Beloved, we are going to see some disturbing things happen, as judgment begins in the house of the Lord first.  Jesus will separate the sheep from the goats. Stay stable and keep yourself in the love of God. Jude 1:20-23 But you beloved,   building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,   keep yoursel...

When we received the Lord into our life, He gave us His joy. If you feel like you have lost your joy, you haven't, it is still there, God placed it in you at salvation. John 15:11 "These things I have spoken to you that My joy may remain in you , and that your joy may be full. Joy is associated with life, the very life that Jesus placed in you. A rejoicing and a delight. Isaiah 61:7 Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion, therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs. How long beloved, is everlasting? God's word states that we have everlasting joy .  So when you feel like you are not experiencing the joy of the Lord, ask the Holy Spirit to manifest that joy in you once again. It is yours for the asking, and it is already in you. Things that can cause us to feel like we have lost our joy , when in fact it is still there. When we become critical of ...

Those that have experienced deep hurt in their life, and ended up with a broken heart, can be the best teachers to bring healing and wholeness in someone's life that is hurting. When God healed your heart, you are now able to help another mend. I have been there and done that, and I can tell you God is faithful to heal, all areas of a broken heart. Give those broken pieces to Jesus and see what He will do with them.  He will make something beautiful. Proverbs 15:13 A merry heart makes a cheerful continence, But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. Psalm 147:3 He heals the broken hearted And binds up their wounds. Proverbs 18:14 The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, But who can bear a broken spirit? Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good like a medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones. Wow, brokenness can cause arthritis, if you feel aches and pains in your body, search your heart and make certain you are not holding onto a past or pres...

We all would like to experience a great peace in all circumstances.  We have that peace if we have received Jesus. It is a supernatural peace. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you ; not as the world gives do I give you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. That is the key to retaining the peace that Jesus gives to us, by not allowing fear, to enter into our hearts, not to be afraid, confused or upset. When fear enters into our soul, it gets into our mind,  then we are robbed of that great peace. Fear is the opposite of peace. Fear causes an unrest for our mind and emotions. Psalm 119:165 Great peace have those that love your law, And nothing causes them to stumble. Christ Jesus is our peace. (Ephesians 2:14) Ephesians 2:17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.  For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. Colossians 3: 1...

We all go through trials in our life, it isn't about what you will go through, but its about you growing through it all. Ephesians 4:15-16 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head- Christ, from whom the whole body joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share , causes growth of the body for the edifying of its self in love. We need each other. 2Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen. Each new trial will cause us to stretch a little further into the kingdom realm.  We are Kings kids and we have to be tested to see if we fully understand that fact. We already have the victory in Jesus our Lord. God wants us to think like Kings kids and we cannot do that unless we renew our mind to think kingdom thoughts. We need to learn all we can about God's kingdom. Dyi...

Jesus Christ working in us and through us is of great value. Our confidence should be in Him and Him alone. We can have confidence that Jesus in us the hope of glory is working through us. Hebrews 10:35-36 Therefore do not cast away your confidence , which has great reward.  For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. Our own abilities are our own tendencies to perform. We should be waiting on the Lord, before we attempt anything. His way will produce lasting fruit. Not fruit that falls to the ground and rots. (Self-effort) We do have abilities and we can do certain things, but they are not of eternal value apart from the Lord. Our human attempts are well meaning, but, when God the Holy Spirit moves on us to do the work of the Lord, we see lasting fruit. John 15:14- 17 "You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.  "No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his mas...

Its time we start looking for the beauty in others and not pay attention to the flaws, after all ,we have flaws. Look at others with a heart of God's love, and remember they are made in the image of God.  We are to love as Jesus loves. 1Corinthans 13:1-5 Though I speak with  the tongues of men or of angels , but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.  And though I have the gift of prophecy , and understand all mysteries and all knowledge , though I have all faith , so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; loved does not envy;  love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own , is not provoked, thinks no evil; We can have all the spiritual gifts functioning, but if we do not have love, it means...
