Thought For The Day

Our preparation process seems like God is quiet, and not answering our prayers.  God allows us to go through times of emptying us out of everything that hinders our growth and progress. Gen 37-1-25 Read the whole story. Joseph told his brothers his dreams and caused  great jealousy with them. Was he bragging? or was he sharing? As you can see by reading the story, it was all set in God's plan.   It looked bad, but God knew what He would do in Josephs life. How about your life since you have received Jesus? Are you just religious, or do you have a relationship with the Lord, like Joseph did? Beloved, Jesus will come just as He said that He would. Be prepared at all times. 1Corinthians 15:51-52 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. When we prepare for something, we have to m...

If you are not grounded in God's word, you can be deceived.    2 Timothy 3:1-7 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come; (Harmful, stressful, and causing weakness) For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness and denying its power. And from such people turn away. Beloved, we see a lot of this today, and have for sometime now, but it all leads to SIN. SIN is s elf i mposed n onsense.  It will lead to misery and guilt and shame. So don't believe the sin of deception. God has given us His grace, that is G od's r iches a t C hrist's e xpense. God's grace is a gift to those that believe. G ift leading us to i nformation f or t ransformation.  The new Christianity is full of the worlds ent...

  We all get excited to see new babes born into God's kingdom.  They are coming in by the millions all over the world. Praise God!! We pray that they will be taught the Bible, be discipled and shown the love of God. They cannot know the fullness of God without reading His word and getting to know Jesus. There is a new Christianity being formed. One without repentance, or accountability, to other believers, full of self, and not dying daily to self. It's full of entertainment, flashing colored lights, all about SELF, ( SERVING EMOTIONS AND LOVING FAVOR) just like the world. Matthew 18:3-4 And He said " Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. "Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Humility is lacking in so many, pride is event in their words and actions in some of the big ministries. I had a beloved brother in Christ...

  There are many different kinds of works of the Lord in God's word. But there is one main one that leads to all the others. John 6:27-29 "Do not labor for food that perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him." Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent" You see Beloved, the greatest works is to believe in Jesus. Our trust and faith in Jesus will activate our faith for all the other works. When we believe, we will be obedient to God's word, and our faith will be activated to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit speak to us. 1Peter 1:13-14 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not con...

To sin, is to miss the mark of holiness. Sin is anything not pleasing to God. Praise God for His grace   and mercy.  That does not give us a license to sin, and by listening and watching the worlds junk we will take into our spirit lies and deception. I no longer have a connected TV, and it is so peaceful in my house.  Easier to hear the Lord speak to my spirit. Psalms 101:2-4  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. Beloved, respect the fact that the Lord in all His goodness lives inside of us. Jesus said "My Father and I will make our abode in you" When you watch things that are wicked, or ungodly, you are taking God to see it also. It will cause you to fall away. You will be grieving the Holy Spirit. Watching or listening, to things we know will c...

 The bible says the Father raised Jesus from the dead. Galatians 1:1 Paul, and apostle not from man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead. John 2:19  Jesus raised Himself from the dead. Jesus answered, " Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up" John 10:18 "No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself,  I have power to lay it down and I have power to take it again.  "This command I have received from My Father." 1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit. Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus  from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through the Spirit who dwells in you. You see by God's  word that the Godhead raised Jesus from the dead. All were involved. Beloved, study your bible as it was gi...

Are we willing to suffer for our faith in Jesus Christ? The word,  pathema is suffer in the Greek.  It means, to experience hardship, affliction, or pain. Have we died to self, and have we accepted our trial of suffering? 1 Peter 4:16-17 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter. For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first what will be the end of those who do not obey the Gospel of God? Beloved, we can not faith talk our way out of a trial that is meant to strengthen us.  We can say, "never the less, not my will but God's be done. When we gave our life to Jesus, we are no longer our own. He owns us, loves us and will see us through our suffering. Think of what Jesus suffered so that we can have life, salvation and healing. Would I rather have a miracle instead of a hard trial? of course I would.  What if your trial is in order to reach those people that God ...
