Don't Lie !!

2010-08-22T21:29:00.001-07:00

When [Satan] tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of liars.

John 8:44

Jesus reveals exactly who Satan is and what he's about: he's a liar. His primary weapon is deception. This is why Christians often credit Satan with powers he doesn't have.

We talk as though he can be everywhere, the way God can. We think he can read our minds. We refer to him as God's evil counterpart, with God using his power for good, and Satan using his for evil.

But Satan is not (and never has been) God's equal. He is a heaven;y created being. He sends out his demons because he can only be in one place at a time. Although he's an expert in understanding how we think, nowhere does the Bible say he can read our thoughts.

So while we may be tempted to use Satan as a scapegoat, blaming him for our sin, acting as though we're powerless victims of his evil manipulation, that's an excuse. Christ's death on the cross freed us from sin's bondage. When we sin, we deliberately choose to disobey God. The devil can 't make us do it!

Where did you pick up your ideas about Satan? From movies? Science fiction books? Your friends' opinion? Only the Bible presents Satan as he really is - the Father of lies. Don't become preoccupied with Satan, giving him credit where it's not warranted. Stay close to Jesus, the Truth, and you won't be deceived by Satan's trickery.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE

THAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT SATAN?

Gods Invitation To Come Near

Scripture
Heb10:22
Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.

Devotion
God gives us an invitation to draw near and be cleansed, he does not ever want us to remain separated from him because of wrongs we have done. Let’s draw near to him today, he is waiting with love to touch and purify our lives. The key is to be sincere in heart by turning from sin and choosing to get back on the righteous path.

THE SON

2010-07-04T03:46:00.000-07:00

Take my Son

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art.

When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.

About a month later, just before Christmas,

there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.

He said, 'Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art.' The young man held out this package. 'I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.'

The father

opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man... He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. 'Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift.'

The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.

On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. 'We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?'

There was silence.

Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, 'We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one.'

But the auctioneer persisted. 'Will somebody bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?'

Another voice angrily. 'We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Gogh's, the Rembrandts. Get on with the
real bids!'

But still the auctioneer continued. 'The son! The son! Who'll take the son?'

Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. 'I'll give $10 for the painting..' Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.

'We have $10, who will bid $20?'

'Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters.'

The crowd was becoming angry.. They didn't want the picture of the son.

They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.

The auctioneer pounded the gavel. 'Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!'

A man sitting on the second row shouted, 'Now let's get on with the collection!'

The auctioneer laid down his gavel. 'I'm sorry, the auction is over.'

'What about the paintings?'

'I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.

The man who took the son gets everything!'

God gave His son 2,000 years ago to die on the cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: 'The son, the son, who'll take the son?'

Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHO SO EVER BELIEVETH, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...THAT'S LOVE

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

What actions can do

2010-06-13T22:43:00.000-07:00

Found this somewhere and find it really worth pondering on.. =)

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friend the following afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.

As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.

My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye.
I handed him his glasses and said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives.
He looked at me and said, "Hey, thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. It turned out he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before coming to this school.

I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home, and I carried his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes. We hung all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Damn boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!". He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class.

I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.

Graduation day arrived - I saw Kyle and he looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him!

Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"

He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach... but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story."

I stared at my friend in disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."

I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.

Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.

"Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

Looking BACK.. =)

Better than Life by Hillsong

2010-05-09T23:52:00.000-07:00

Better than the riches of this world
Better than the sound of my friend's voices
Better than the biggest dreams of my heart
And that's just the start

Better than getting what I say I need
Better than living the life that I want to
Better than the love anyone could give
Your love is

You hold me now in your arms
And never let me go

You oh lord make the sun shine
And the moon light in the night sky
You give me breath and all your love
I give my heart to you because

I can't stop falling in love with you
I'll never stop falling in love with you
I can't stop falling in love with you
I'll never stop falling in love with you

- LOVE -

Have you heard of the One called Savior?
Have you heard of His perfect love,
Have you heard of the One in heaven,
Have you heard how He gave His son'
Well I have found this love,
And I believe in the Son. Show me Your way.

I believe in the One called Savior,
I believe He's the risen One,
I believe that I'll live forever,
I believe that the king will come,
Cause I have found this love,
And I believe in the Son. Show me Your way.

Chorus:
Jesus, you are my best friend,
And you will always be,
Nothing will ever change that,
Jesus, you are my best friend,
And you will always be,
Nothing will ever change that.

Bridge:
Nothing will ever change that,
Nothing will ever change that,
Nothing will ever change that,
Nothing will ever change that.

If you're alone and friends never seem to bother about you, turn to Jesus, he's always ever ready to listen to you, to be by your side, to just be there for you no matter you need him or not, he's always watching over you, always by your side . . . cheering . . . =)

Psalm 27:4-10 (New International Version)
4 One thing I ask of the LORD,

this is what I seek:

that I may dwell in the house of the LORD

all the days of my life,

to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD

and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble

he will keep me safe in his dwelling;

he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle

and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted

above the enemies who surround me;

at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;

I will sing and make music to the LORD.
7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;

be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, "Seek his [a] face!"

Your face, LORD, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,

do not turn your servant away in anger;

you have been my helper.

Do not reject me or forsake me,

O God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,

the LORD will receive me.

The Importance of FRIENDSHIP!!

2009-09-15T05:03:00.000-07:00

Scriptures
John21: 5
He (Jesus) called out to them, “Friends haven't you any fish”
1 John 4:7
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

Devotion
Today my heart is stirred to talk about the importance of friendship. School has just begun and many of the prayer request that teenagers are sending in are related to needing friends. First, let me say that God is the most faithful friend you will ever have. God is with us all of the time, he is never too busy to spend time with us. So we are friends of God. All throughout the New Testament we see the words “dear friends.” So friendship is important to God. Let me share an encouraging story of how God answered my prayer when I was attending a new public school at age 16.

I was a new Christian and wanted to meet other Christians in school. The first day of school I prayed that I would meet Christians. Before attending classes, we were required to meet in a large gymnasium where hundreds of students gathered for orientation. Other students that I did not know surrounded me. There was a girl sitting to my right and as I looked down at the bleachers on top of the pile of books that she had set next to me was a bible in plain sight. I leaned over and said, “ Are you a Christian” she replied “Yes I am.” She then invited me to a Christian group that met after school. This invitation by just one friend opened the door to many other friendships. That was the beginning of a life long friendship with her. God is amazing! I am now able to pray with great faith for others who need friends because of what God did for me. Today trust him to bring friends into your life and also reach out to others to be a friend to them. Friendship is so important, no one likes feeling alone.

Live a Holy Life

2009-09-12T05:01:00.000-07:00

Scripture

1 Thessalonians 4:7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.
Colossians 3:8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
1 Thessalonians 4:4 that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable,

Devotion
The bible instructs us to live a holy life. To live a holy life means we try to do the things that are pleasing to God and live according to the standards he sets forth in the bible. We know that we can only be made perfectly holy through God's forgiveness. For we all fall short of the Glory of God, however, God is quick to forgive us when we repent and keep trying to do the right things in our lives. As our scriptures indicate; it is our responsibility to “rid ourselves” of ungodly behaviors and to “cloth ourselves” with godly ones. We do our best to live as God instructs and try not to get discouraged when we make mistakes. There is no condemnation from God because he loves us, he knows the beginning from the end, and he knows our strengths and our weaknesses. The key word is working! We are not alone in our attempts to live holy lives. As we begin to apply the principles from the bible to our lives, God meets us with his grace (ability) and helps change us into his image. The bible says “he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6 God is working with us because he loves us and has promised that he will never leave us.

Hidden With Christ in God

2009-09-10T04:52:00.000-07:00

He Will Give Life To Your Mortal Bodies (the living word).

Scripture
Romans 8:11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

Devotion
Early one morning as I was reading the bible these living words jumped off of the page, “he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.” I didn't understand why they had come to life inside of me until 11:30pm that night. The call came in around 9:30pm that my sister in-law, had been admitted into the emergency room at the local hospital. She was admitted due to a drug over dose, the emergency room doctor had told her mom that she was in serious condition and very well may not live.

My wife was a nurse, as soon as we reached the emergency room she talked to the doctor and the nurses. She then explained to me the medical reasons why her sister wouldn't live. My wife was not a believer. As we sat outside, while she smoked a cigarette, the words I had read that morning came back to me so clearly. I told my wife that her sister wouldn't die but she firmly disagreed with me, telling me that I didn't understand medically what has happened to her body. I then shared my experience earlier that morning when I was studying and how God caused his words to come alive in my spirit. I shared God’s word with her stating, “ he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.” Suddenly, I felt a supernatural, God- given faith, arise inside of me. I knew that I had to get into her room and pray for her. A half hour went by and finally I was allowed to go into the room where she was unconscious. I laid my hand upon her and spoke God’s word with every ounce of faith that he had given me, “The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead will quicken your mortal body and give you live.” The tears streamed from my eyes. As I prayed this simple prayer, I felt a supernatural flow of compassion moving in the words that I had spoken. It was one hour later that we were allowed to enter the room again where she was propped upright and conscious. With a silly grin she looked at me and said, “hey preacher man it's good to see you.” she did not die.
God is amazing!

Ask the Lord to cause his word to come alive in supernatural ways in your life. Use your faith and trust God. Spend time with God by reading your bible often, so that God can speak to you too.

Peace

There are times when we feel lost, confused, useless and many more. But in everything, God is doing something!

A Choice

Today's Scripture
1 Corinthians 10:21
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons.

Devotion
Living a life that has one foot in God’s kingdom and one foot in the world just doesn't work. We must choose how we will live; in the world of evil or in God’s kingdom. We must decide who we will serve, God or the devil. Forgiveness is the beginning of making a turn towards God and away from evil. God is loving, forgiving and HOLY. The path we walk as Christians is the narrow path. When we first give our life to God the path is not so narrow but as we develop a relationship with this Holy God, the path gets narrower and narrower as we become more obedient to his ways and more holy. It is only through Jesus that we can truly be holy, he makes us holy and acceptable to God. What changes can you make in your life today to walk in holiness on that narrow path. A good place to start is by confessing sins to God and making a decision to turn away from them. Ask God to help with your struggles.

Tough Questions

2009-08-25T01:15:00.000-07:00

Today's Scriptures
Matthew 7:21
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”

Matthew 7:13-14
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

1John 2:5-6
This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

2Cor 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

Devotional
A person who is truly a Christian will be different than those who do not know Jesus. If you are a child of God you will walk in righteousness. If we are walking on the narrow road our lives will reflect that we are different than the world. Here are some tough questions. Are you saved? Are you on the narrow path? Do you look more like the world than a Christian? What type of music do you listen to? What TV programs and movies do you enjoy. Does your life show the fruit of a Christian or do you look more like the world? "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven.” Does your life style show that you are practicing a life showing the will of God?

Proverbs 4 : 20 - 23

2009-08-24T22:37:00.000-07:00

20 My son, be attentive to my words;incline your ear to my sayings.21 Let them not escape from your sight;keep them within your heart.22 For they are life to those who find them,and healing to all their [1] flesh.23 Keep your heart with all vigilance,for from it flow the springs of life.

Thanks..!!

Full Of JOY..!!!

2009-08-07T07:18:00.000-07:00

Joy Of The Lord

Scripture
Luke 10:21
At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

Devotional
There is a joy that comes from the Holy Spirit; our scripture says that Jesus was full of this joy. There is another verse that says that “the joy of the Lord is our strength”. I ask God to fill me with his joy often and I get filled. Have you ever been full of the joy of the Lord? The joy of the Lord is a weapon we use against the attacks of the enemy. When the joy of the Lord comes into your life, you will have an inner strength that you have not known before. This strength, (joy of the Lord) is available to you today, ask God to fill you with his joy and he will.

Prayer

2009-07-26T02:09:00.000-07:00

My Prayer

Today's scriptures
Ephesians 3:17-19
I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Devotional
This often is a prayer I pray for myself and others to know how long, wide, high and deep the love of Christ is. That is my prayer for you today as well. Take a moment to meditate on this fact, God loves YOU!!!

Prayer : God is just a knee length away

Desire

2009-07-09T02:50:00.000-07:00

Desire

James1:14, 15
But each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

Psalms 119:113
I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.

Devotional
Sin always begins with a thought. It is simple, we either decide to join with sin or we decide not to.
It is your choice today how you will handle your thought life.

Prayer :

Lord, please lead me in your ways, i don't want to continue sinning and hurting you. Lord, give me wisdom and courage to walk in your ways the way you plan for me to go. Thank you, Lord for always forgiving my sins. Amen

Living a Godly Life

2009-07-04T05:01:00.000-07:00

A life Dedicated to God Today

Today's scripture
2 peter 1:3
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Devotional
Living a godly life is possible because of the knowledge we have of God. This knowledge is acquired, daily, as we read the bible and seek after building a relationship with God. As we study God’s word, and spend time in prayer, we will obtain the knowledge we need to be victorious today. Everyday requires new spiritual truths for the new situations and trials we will be faced with. What we learned yesterday, may not be what we need for today. Today, I will not be a quitter, because the bible says that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. This verse is what brings comfort and peace within me today, so I will cling to it. What the Lord has for me tomorrow may be completely different.

The Son Of God

Today's scripture (spiritual light and darkness)
John 11:27
Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

Devotional
Yes Lord, I believe you are the Christ! How has this decision effected your life? I had no idea that when I decided to follow Jesus, so many other lives would be touched by the hand of the Lord through me. It is the truth, he is alive!!! If we truly believe he is the Christ; our lives will point to him through our thoughts, our words and our actions. When we truly believe, we will live a life that is filled with loving and serving others. Others around us will be able to tell that we love Jesus, because everything about our lives will emanate the love of Christ. When Jesus is truly the Lord of your life, your desires will change. Things that touch the heart of God will touch your heart. You will find you have a desire to spend time reading the bible, praying, and fellowshipping with other Christians. Is Jesus really the Lord of your life today? Let your actions (life) reflect your love for Jesus; others are watching you, be a demonstration of God’s love in all you do and say.

God's Plan..

2009-06-21T07:02:00.000-07:00

The plan of God

Today's scripture
Ephesians 2:10
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Devotional
God has a plan for our lives. That plan includes doing good works. The bible says, in the book of Acts chapter 10 verse 38, that Jesus went about doing good and healing all...This was the plan for Jesus' life, and it is the plan for our life as well. Jesus healed many people everywhere he went and taught them how to live a victorious life. When we surrender our lives totally to Christ we begin to step into the plan God has for our lives. We then can discover the good works that God has prepared in advance for us to do. A friend of mine once said, “God is serious about his business.” Doing good and filling heaven is God’s business. So being Christ like, we should also be about the Father’s business.

Gossip..

2009-06-20T04:26:00.000-07:00

Scriptures
Proverbs 20:19
A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much.

Romans 1:29
They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips.

Devotional
Gossiping: This is slanderous, idle, harmful or casual talk about another.
When I am talking to someone, I am always very careful to not talk about another person’s life. I also am very careful to not share too many things about my own life with too many people, unless I am totally sure that I can trust them to not spread what I share around to others. I am very cautious with my words. The Holy Spirit will help us in this area if we stay tuned into His promptings when we are interacting with others. If you realize that you have a tendency to gossip then choose to stop it. If you are interacting with people who gossip, choose not to participate.

CF meeting...

2009-06-17T00:39:00.000-07:00

ATTENTION!!!

THERE'S NO CF MEETING THIS WEEK, 19 JULY

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR COOPERATION =)

Faith Today!! =)

2009-06-15T01:59:00.000-07:00

God is Able to do MORE than we can imagine

Having faith today

Today's scripture
Ephesians 3:20
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Devotional
God is able to do more than we could ever ask, so we can never ask for too much. His supply is abundant so keep asking. The key word seems to be “able” that’s the one that brings a realization that I can trust God with all of the difficulties of life.

What does the Bible say about...Failure..

2009-06-07T23:02:00.000-07:00

We've all been there...when we put our heart into something and it just doesn't seem to "click." Whether it is a class, making the team, or witnessing to a friend, we all experience failure from time to time. Sometimes we even feel like we've failed God. Yet, the Bible talks a little bit about failure, and helps us realize that God is with us all the way through it.

We All Fall Down
Everybody fails from time to time. No one you know is perfect, and almost everyone can outline at least a few failures. God understands and prepares us for it in Proverbs 24:16. We are not perfect, even in our faith, and God wants us to understand and accept that.

Proverbs 24:16 - "Even if good people fall seven times, they will get back up. But when trouble strikes the wicked, that's the end of them." (CEV)

God Lifts Us Back Up
God knows we're going to fail every once in a while. Yet, He also stands by us and helps us get back on our feet. Is it easy to accept failure? No. Can it make us depressed and feel down? Yes. Yet, God is there to help us work through our anger and disappointment.

Psalm 40:2-3 - "and pulled me from a lonely pit full of mud and mire. You let me stand on a rock with my feet firm, and you gave me a new song, a song of praise to you. Many will see this, and they will honor and trust you, the LORD God." (CEV)

God Wants Us to Correct Ourselves
So, God helps us back up, but does that mean we dwell on the failure or repeat the same behaviors? No. God wants us to acknowledge our shortcomings and work to better ourselves. Sometimes that means moving on to something else we can do better. Sometimes it means giving ourselves more practice. Other times it means being patient for things to work themselves out.

Jeremiah 8:4-5 - "The LORD said: People of Jerusalem, when you stumble and fall, you get back up, and if you take a wrong road, you turn around and go back. So why do you refuse to come back to me? Why do you hold so tightly to your false gods?" (CEV)

Hide and Seek

2009-05-24T03:34:00.000-07:00

Jeremiah 29:13

“ And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”

My Search for God
Do you remember when you were little and you would play a game of hide and seek? One thing I remember vividly is the way it felt when I was “IT”. I can sum it up in one word: Lonely. I used to dread having to look for people, but I loved the feeling I got when I found the first person. It meant that I was no longer “IT.” The person whom I had found now had my burden and became “IT” on the next round. Is it coming back to you yet?

The Bible records the ultimate game of Hide and Seek. We are lonely, lost and sick of being “IT.” We are desperate for an encounter with God. Just like in the game, if we search for God diligently we will find Him. Except unlike the game, God is not hiding from us. When we find Him he then takes our sin burden and carries it away, In response we repent and turn away from our sins. God gives us every capability to find Him. One way to start is through His Word. It is a reassuring feeling to know that I will never be “IT” again in my relationship to God.

Isaiah 55:6-7

“Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God for he will abundantly pardon.”

Today’s Prayer:
Thank You Lord for making yourself approachable and giving me the chance to find you. I want to search for you all my life, may I never give up. Thank you for delivering me from the awful sin burdens I had when I didn’t know you. I love you Lord, Amen.

SIMPLE FAITH

2009-05-23T03:17:00.000-07:00

Today's scripture
1Peter 5:7
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Devotional
Just give your cares to the Lord. It really is that simple, and when you turn them over to God, don’t pick them up and take them with you again, just leave them in God’s hands.

Soldier under pressure, the pressure is off (By Jordy Christo)

The pressure is off, the weight is gone
Cast your care on Jesus and keep moving on
The road may seem long, the battle may be raging
Cast your care on Jesus and find that His strength is amazing
Don't look back, just leave that last battle behind
Cast your care on Jesus and step back in line
Don't look to the left, or to the right
Cast your care on Jesus and everything will be alright
Hold tight to His words, and retreat only for prayer
Cast your care on Jesus, he has promised to always be there

2009-05-21T00:51:00.000-07:00

James 5:13

Is anyone of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.

1 Peter 5:7

Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

Matthew 6:25~27

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

Hope after reading this you will feel more relaxed, always know that God loves you and will take care of you!

Overcome fears today

2009-05-14T06:49:00.000-07:00

Psalms 119:7, 8, 15, 16

7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart

8 I will keep thy statutes

15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

Devotional
The bible says that king David encouraged himself in the Lord. (1Sam30:6) These verses give us some guidelines as to how we can do that. Is there some area of your life that you have been struggling with? Does it seem like fear is holding you hostage? Today, ask God to help you as you encourage yourself by saying, today I will do something different with this difficult thing in my life. It is like setting a goal for ourselves. Today I will __________. If you fail, start over. If you have to start over 100 times in a day, keep trying don’t give up. Keep on saying: I will.

God gives heart's Desires

2009-05-04T02:31:00.000-07:00

Hearts Desire-God

Psalms 37:4-5
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this:

Devotional
It is important to understand that the key to God giving us the desires of our heart is in committing our lives to Him. As we truly surrender our life to God, his desires begin to become our desires. His desire is to save the lost and heal the broken hearted. God has a plan and purpose for our lives. If we are committed to following his plan, then he will only give to us what he has planned for us.

Walk with Him to the Ends of the Earth

2009-04-24T00:57:00.000-07:00

What does it mean by walking with Him to the ends of the earth? Dying..?? Following Christ..?? Obedience..?? It can mean anything to anyone... But to me, i think it's a journey we have to walk for in Christ..to glorify Him and trying to live our lives reflecting Him..

Here are some pictures taken during our meeting...

we've invited Susana to share..

Thanks Susana for coming...!!

It was great...!!

Let's continue walking with Christ everywhere we go . . . !!

Effecting Others Live

2009-04-20T05:19:00.000-07:00

A Harvest From Sowing Seeds

Today's scriptures
John 4:37-38
Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true. “I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor."

Devotional
The only way to have a beautiful garden of flowers is to prepare the soil, plant the seeds, water them tenderly and lovingly care for them. We are responsible to plant the seeds of Gods love into the lives of unbelievers so that there will be a harvest of souls to reap. In order for there to be a continuing harvest there must be a continual planting. Some people are easy to witness to; this can be compared to moist prepared soil and others are more difficult, which would compare to the harder ground that requires more effort to plant the seed into. My prayer is that throughout the city, there will be a great sowing of good seeds. My intention is to let it begin with me today. Think about what types of seeds are sitting in your hands, and how can they be sown into people’s lives. Here are some hints, tracts, music CD's, and serving others. Remember too, that there are false teachers sowing weeds, we must do our part to sow the truth of God’s word.

God's Love

2009-04-12T02:26:00.000-07:00

God's Love Is Forever

Today's scripture
Romans 8: 38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Devotional
God loves you so much that He has promised that nothing can ever separate you from His love. Receive his love today!

The Future

2009-04-09T02:13:00.000-07:00

The future Revealed

Today's scripture
Luke 22:10-13
He replied, "As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' He will show you a large upper room, all furnished. Make preparations there." They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

Devotional
Here we see that Jesus knows what is in our future and He is able to reveal it to us. In the gospel of John, Jesus tells us that He will send the Holy Spirit and He will reveal to us things to come. It's true, seek God in prayer and you shall find divine direction for your life. Hunger and thirst for righteousness and you shall be filled. The steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord. Clear direction from the Lord is the result off seeking after His will for our lives with a sincere heart.

Worship, the Key to Victory

2009-04-07T23:52:00.000-07:00

Today's Scripture

Matthew 6:10

Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Revelations 7:11-12

They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: "Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!"

Devotional
God wants things on earth to be as they are in heaven. In heaven, worship is always surrounding the throne of God. True worship will require a commitment of time. Time spent with just you seeking after God. Could you spend an entire day or night diligently seeking God? Worship is more than just singing a song it becomes a life style. All that you do and all that you say is to glorify God. Get before God and declare that he is the Lord of your life, and that you are nothing without him. When you find yourself face to face with God, in this place of glory, you will realize that to be in the presence of God is a wonderful place to be. All of the cares of this life become unimportant and disappear in the beauty of our Lord. The only thing that matters is expressing love to the Lord. Commit to find this place of deep intimacy with God, hunger and thirst for it. Tell Him that you want to find this place of true worship. Remember this deep intimacy with the Lord will require a sacrifice of time and total surrender to Him.

Worry

2009-04-07T04:29:00.000-07:00

Resting Without Worrying

Luke 10:38 - 42
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed, Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

Devotional
There seems to be times when we are aware that the Lord’s presence is so near to us. It is at these times when we need to let all the cares and concerns of the day be put to the side. Then we purpose at that moment, to stay with Jesus without a deadline of time.

Rejection

2009-04-06T01:49:00.000-07:00

Prayer is Gods hotline against rejection

Today's scriptures
Luke 6: 22-23
Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. "Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven.”

1 Peter 4:14
If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

Devotional
Rejection is a winning situation in Gods eyes, when we are rejected for telling people about Christ. We have to get tough as Christians and realize that as painful as rejection is and as much as we want to be accepted by everyone, people will reject the message of Christ that we speak. So get over the fear, accept the fact, AND TELL SOMEONE ABOUT CHRIST! They are rejecting Jesus, not you! God has rewards for you according to the scriptures; there are no Losers in this battle for souls.

Supply - Supply

2009-04-03T04:12:00.000-07:00

God's Will is to Supply

Scripture
Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Devotion
When we are seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness first in our lives, then the things we desire are directly related to his kingdom. Therefore, God is willing to supply our every need to accomplish his purpose through our life. God is saying whatever you need daughter or son to do my work; I will supply you with it.

God's Power

2009-03-31T04:13:00.000-07:00

Power of The Spoken Word

Ephesians 1:18-20
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms.

Devotional
Notice that His incomparable great power is for us who believe. This is vitally important for us to understand. When we begin to be enlightened of this truth simple prayer releases the power of God through simple faith. When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, He simply said “Lazarus come forth” and attached faith to the power available from God. The power is for all Christians through the work of the Holy Spirit. Pray and ask God to enlighten the eyes of your heart so you too can know this power that raised Christ from the dead.

In Jesus's Name

2009-03-30T06:08:00.000-07:00

Jesus, the Name above All Names

Scripture
John 15:16

Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name (Jesus).
John 15:7

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.

Devotional
Notice in today’s scriptures the words “then” and “if you”. The bible teaches that whatever we ask in Jesus' name we will receive. It is important to understand that there are conditions to that promise. Please take time to study John 15 to get a better understanding of what is required in order for God to honor our prayer “In the name of Jesus”.

Passion For the Lost

2009-03-29T03:57:00.000-07:00

Scripture
Luke 19:10
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.

Devotional
Do you have a passion for Christ? If you do then you will have a passion for lost souls. Jesus was and is all about saving souls. We are the channel in which God has chosen to communicate His love and saving power through. Remember that learning to ride a bike took practice and so does learning how to be a witness for Christ. We must become passionate and determined to be a soul winner. Ask God for the passion and then begin to study about witnessing. Here are a few scriptures to get you started.

Romans 10:14,15; Romans 1:16; 2 Peter 3:9; Acts 4:31; Acts 14:3; Acts 19:8 The following web sites offer some great free materials to help get you started

Listening

2009-03-27T22:50:00.000-07:00

Mary Listening To Jesus

Scripture
Luke 10:38-42
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!" "Martha, Martha, the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed, Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

Devotional
This passage is so full of many things to teach but I want to focus on listening to the words of Jesus. When the word of God is being spoken we are to listen as Martha was doing in this story. Regardless of who is sharing the word of God, remember that they are speaking as if Jesus were
speaking Himself.

Life's Journey

2009-03-26T02:35:00.000-07:00

Scripture
Mark 10:30
In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers.”

Devotional
Sometimes along life's journey, people often fall into the traps of robbers. By traps, I mean those circumstances that rob from God’s best for our lives. Traps labeled; drug and alcohol addiction, divorce, sickness, and others alike. In God there is freedom. The scripture today comes from the story of The Good Samaritan. Please take time to read it. See if you can think of someone that you know of who maybe has been robbed, who has fallen into a trap on there journey of life. Perhaps you have a friend who comes from a divorced family and is feeling confused and hurt. Maybe someone who likes to drink or do drugs. Can you think of ways that you can reach out to them in love and help to bring them out of the trap they are in? A good place to start would be to let them know you care about them; perhaps invite them to your church or youth group.

Life Saver

2009-03-25T06:53:00.000-07:00

Today's scripture
James 5:20
Remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

Devotional
At the end of my street there is a stop sign that for awhile was not visible because my neighbors’ tree branches were covering its view. Those of us that lived on the street were aware of the danger, but strangers to our street were not. On one occasion, I happened to be at the right place, at the right time and witnessed a near major accident there. I called and complained to the city and eventually, after much effort on my part, another sign was put up to warn people of the upcoming stop sign. After some time the tree was cut down and now the sign is visible from very far away. After the incident the Lord showed me that my passion to save people from eternal death shouldn't be any different than my passion was to save a life at the end of my street. Here are some tough, but necessary, questions I must ask. Who has God placed on your street today that is a stranger to Christianity? Do you make an effort to save an eternal life as you would an earthly life? Do you really believe in Jesus enough to tell some one of the danger that lies ahead?

Keys to God's Kingdom

2009-03-24T07:31:00.000-07:00

Door Keepers Keys

Today's scripture

Matthew 16:19 I (Jesus) will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; “whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

Devotional

God has gifted each of us with talents that were intended to be used for His glory. Has he given you an assignment to carry out? Has he handed you something from heaven such as the ability to write poetry or songs? Maybe God has given you a personality that makes it easy for others to talk to you because they know they can trust you. Perhaps you are good at teaching others, or you play a musical instrument well. God has given each of us some type of gift to be used for His glory. If we do not share our talents with others, then we have “bound” the gift on earth and heaven cannot flow through it. Now, if we use the gift God has given to us or we “loose it” on earth, then all of heaven can be loosed to touch people through the gift. It works like a faucet. The water has no effect until the faucet is turned on, then the water is loosed. As long as it is shut off it is bound. It's the same in the spiritual realm. We are like faucets linked to heaven and heaven is full of living water, ready to supply the earth, but we must make the effort to turn on the faucet so heaven can flow.

Important Things

2009-03-23T02:14:00.000-07:00

Things that are important

Today's scripture
John 5:19 Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

Devotional
Find out what is important to Jesus and make those things important to you. Here are some places to start. God desires that none should spend eternity in hell and for us to seek and save the lost. Share Jesus with someone today. You can do that by a simple act of kindness, sharing a smile with someone who looks sad, doing extra chores around the house, being obedient to your parents. All these things when done out of the desire to share God’s love, are ways to make what is important to God important to you. As you seek after the things of God you will see God directing your steps!

Hope

2009-03-22T02:01:00.000-07:00

The Future of Hope

Today's scripture
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Devotional
When we get to know God we then have hope in Him. The reality of his presence, and the constant unveiling of His plans for us, strengthens us to put our trust in the truth of this verse. God has a plan and a purpose for each of us. When we seek Him with all our hearts then his plan begins to be seen, usually it is one step at time. If we were following a friend who is walking before us we would follow one step at a time. This is how we also follow the Lord. With every step of obedience to what he tells us to do in his word, we continue walking forward in hope and moving into the future of His destiny for our lives.

Guard your Heart

2009-03-20T21:30:00.000-07:00

Your Heart The Spiritual Beat

Proverbs 23: 20-23
My son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh. Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flows the springs of life.

Devotional
We must maintain good spiritual health. When our heart is in distress, and we are up set, we must do all that we know to do to guard our heart. For God has deposited spiritual truths in our hearts for the purpose of sharing with others. Yes through you God can bring an encouraging word to someone. Start with prayer this gives God the right to help us. The bible says let not your heart be troubled but put your trust in God. Focus on Jesus rather than the troubling situation, as best as we can, this helps guard our heart. He has said He will never leave or forsake us. Communication comes next because wisdom, at times, is found in the council of others. It is good to reason things out sometimes, being careful to not gossip or criticize. Keep a guard on your heart today and protect the call God has placed on your life.

Frustration & Life's Irritations

2009-03-19T21:06:00.000-07:00

Today's scripture

I have told you these things, so that in me (Jesus) you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]

John 16:33

Devotional
Are you frustrated about many things and sometimes everything. Being a Christian doesn't mean that we will not experience difficult times. God has told us the truth, that at times life will be difficult. He has provided to us a way to overcome these tough times, that way is found in following Jesus' teachings and surrendering our lives to Him. His peace is amazing and His love unmatched you can rest in trusting that He is working all things for the good. Victory through tough times comes by staying connected to other believers, reading Gods word, trusting God, praying, worshiping and staying free from sins hold through forgiveness. If you are troubled today, lift your head up and stand strong on the rock of your saviors love for you. He has promised to never leave you.

Focus

2009-03-19T00:22:00.000-07:00

Hebrews 12:2

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith

Devotional
Let’s stay focused on Jesus today and not the negative things that the enemy would desire to have us dwell upon. We are not to give any place to the devil yet we are to be aware of his tactics. Remember that there are more angels on our side than his. Our focus is to be on Christ. We are to exalt who He is and who we are in Him, above every circumstance in life. A good way to know who Jesus is would be to read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John several times. It will lay the foundation of who Jesus is.

JOY

2009-03-17T19:59:00.000-07:00

Joy of The Lord

Today's scriptures
John 15:10-11 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

John17:13 I (Jesus) say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.

Devotional
The joy of the Lord is a direct result of obeying Gods’ commands, which are discovered by reading Gods’ word. If you desire to have the fullness of joy in your life, look to the bible. Jesus' words were spoken so that we would have the full measure of joy.

God's Love

2009-03-17T00:29:00.000-07:00

Scriptures
Romans 8:38-39
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

John 10: 28-30
I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.”

Devotional
When we give our lives to God, nothing can separate us from his love and we can never be snatched from his hand.

Salvation the Simple Way

2009-03-16T02:24:00.000-07:00

Romans 10:9-10”If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”

Salvation by grace, not works

One of the first things a lifeguard has to do is help the victim calm down so he isn’t struggling against the efforts of the one who is trying to save him. Sometimes it take a blow to the head that either knocks the victim out or shocks him out of his panic so he can listen to the lifeguard’s instructions. If the victim struggles, or tries to help, it may endanger both his own life and the lifeguard’s. The best thing he can do is relax and let the expert in life-saving take over.

Jesus did everything needed to purchase our salvation. He paid the death penalty we deserve by dying in our place.

It’s all done except our acceptance of the gift God has so graciously offered us.
You can receive Jesus into your heart right now. It’s so simple, you can hardly believe it. Just talk to God as if he were sitting right next to you. Tell him that you are sorry for breaking his standards of right actions and attitudes. Tell him that you believe Jesus is his Son and that he died for you. Ask him to forgive you and clean up your heart. If you’re sincere as you pray, you become a child of God forever the second you finish praying.

If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, try sharing Romans 10:8-10 with a friend who doesn’t yet know God. Before sharing, ask God to open your friend’s heart and mind to receive the wonderful gift of salvation. Show him/her right in the Scripture that all he/she has to do to have eternal life is believe and confess.

Today’s Prayer:
Dear Jesus, I thank you that you have made the plan of salvation so simple. I recognize that I am a sinner in need of a Savior. I do believe that you are the Lord and that God did raise you from the dead. I choose you as my Savior. I love you, Jesus. Amen.

It's God's

2009-03-15T03:11:00.000-07:00

Psalm 24:1
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world and all who live in it.

Psalm 8:6
You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet.

Handle with Care

My sister Lori and I had to share a bedroom when we were girls. Sometimes that was awesome, like when we spent hours on the floor between our twin size beds playing Monopoly. Other days were torture. On the days when the conflict got really bad, we used masking tape or yarn to divide our room in half, with threats of bodily harm to the one who stepped over the other’s boundary. It was quite a challenge to the one who didn’t have access to the door at such times.

You stay on your side of the room, I’ll stay on mine!” Mine. It’s an ugly four-letter word that expresses our sinful, selfish nature. Like two-year-olds playing tug of war with a favorite toy, we scream, “It’s mine!” “No, it’s mine!” “It’s mine!”

Those harsh words are not limited to the tongues of toddlers alone. Haven’t you heard yourself saying, “It’s my life, my body, my rights, my money. . .” and “I want it done my way. It’s all about me!”

Psalm 24:1 tells us, The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world and all who live in it. God our Maker says, “It’s all mine!” He is the Creator, Sustainer, and Owner of the whole world. Everything you see – including you and me – belongs to God. It’s all His!

In Psalm 8:6, God in His unbelievable love and generosity invites us to be stewards of all of his belongings. “You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet.” Stewardship is a sweet partnership between God, the Creator and Owner of all, and us, his stewards. We get to carefully care for and use all of His belongings. It’s not a right; it’s an incredible privilege. It’s not a miserable duty; it’s a high calling that we must joyfully embrace!

What an incredible gift from God! What has God put into your care? What time, spiritual gifts and abilities has He given to you? What money and possessions has He trusted you with? How are you taking care of His creation? How are you caring for His temple, your mind and body?

Consider what God has placed under your personal stewardship, and then ask this important question: Am I handling all of God’s stuff with care?

Today’s Prayer:

Father God, thank you for all that you have made. You are the Maker of all things! It all belongs to you! Thank you for the incredible gifts you have given to me. Please help me to be a good steward of your time, your money and possessions, your world, your temple as it exists in my mind and body. Help me use the spiritual gifts and abilities You have given me in service to others. Please help me to carefully handle all of your stuff. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

HEAVY Get Help to Lift

2009-03-13T22:50:00.000-07:00

Galatians 6:2
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Being a Burden Lifter

You would think I would get the hang of packing for the airlines after a few trips, but it only seems to be moving from bad to worse. After each trip I make mental notes: 1) Do not pack that item again, you didn’t use it anyway. 2) Don’t forget these items, it would have been nice to have them along. The last two trips my suitcase came back to me marked with an orange tag: HEAVY Get Help To Lift.

Now, I knew my suitcase was heavy, but was it really necessary to inform all my fellow travelers standing around the carousel?

Wouldn’t it be helpful if hurting people were as easily identifiable as tagged suitcases? They know their burdens are heavy. Sometimes so heavy they can hardly lift themselves out of bed in the morning. But how can others know they are hurting? Maybe these people, maybe you and I, should begin clearly marking our oppressive days with an orange tag: HEAVY BURDENS Need Help to Lift!

There’s no guesswork in the Bible on if we should help carry each other’s burdens. Galatians 6:2 commands us to do so, Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

The question is how do we obey that command without the use of orange tags identifying those who need help with their heartaches and burdens? Let’s again go to the Bible for God’s Word on burden lifting.

Ask the Holy Spirit to clothe you with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience (Colossians 3:12). Have the attitude of Christ, looking not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others (Philippians 2). Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God (Ephesians 5:1-2).

Would orange tags make it easier to identify the hurting people in your corner of the world? It certainly would. But is it the best option? No, God always provides the best way. Follow God’s commands for burden lifting, imitate Christ’s example in how He reached out to others, and let the Spirit lead and guide as you go about the task you’ve been called to: being a burden lifter for others.

Today’s Prayer:

Father God, thank You for Your word on burden lifting. Please help me to see the burdens that people are carrying. Give me eyes to see where the needs are. Give me ears to hear the cries of hurting people. Give me love that reaches out in compassion and understanding. I want to imitate Jesus. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

It is Finished

2009-03-13T01:21:00.000-07:00

John1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

John19:30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Devotional:
When Jesus said it is finished, at that very moment there was a new spiritual law established. What John the Baptist had spoken three years prior was established with Jesus' last breath. Now understand this, when there is sin in our life and we confess and turn away from it, we are forgiven. The slate that had your sin written on it is wiped completely clean instantly, “It is finished”.

It Is Finished By Jordy Christo

When He said “IT IS FINISHED" it was done
The lamb who took away the sins of the world is Gods son

No condemnation, no shame left to behold
He demolished sins bondage just as the prophets had foretold

No matter what wrong we have done, God established
"IT IS FINISHED" I love you, this freedom is a gift, you can have it.

The evidence of our sins has been completely washed away
Because of His love for us yesterday and today
and forever.

Power of Christ

2009-03-13T01:18:00.000-07:00

Today's scripture
Ephesians 1:18-20 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms.

Devotional: Power of The Spoken Word
Notice that His incomparable great power is for us who believe. This is vitally important for us to understand. When we begin to be enlightened of this truth, simple prayer releases the power of God through simple faith. When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, He simply said “Lazarus come forth” and attached faith to the power available from God. The power is for all Christians through the work of the Holy Spirit. Pray and ask God to enlighten the eyes of your heart so you too can know this power that raised Christ from the dead.

Filled With Revelation

2009-03-13T01:13:00.000-07:00

Today's scripture
John 16:12
I have still many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them or to take them upon you or to grasp them now.

Devotional
There is a place in the realm of the Spirit where the Lord begins to speak clearly and with great revelation. If you have ever had those times when you have been reading your bible and the Holy Spirit, the teacher, is speaking loudly, then you understand our Scripture. The pen in your hand moves faster than ever before as the thoughts concerning the ways of God come clearer than ever before. In an instant, God gives an understanding of His kingdom and an awareness of His presence that is almost more than we can bear. With this type of encounter with the Lord the understanding of what God is communicating is spread out over a great length of time, with little gold nuggets of revelation. We are compelled to go deeper into the Word of God. Our scripture indicates that Jesus has many things to say to us. Open your heart to receive all that God has today and expect great revelation from Him!

Created to Worship

2009-03-10T02:02:00.000-07:00

Psalm 29:2
Ascribe (give) to the Lord the glory due His name; worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness. (NIV)
Bravo, God, bravo! Gods and all angels shout, "Encore!" In awe before the glory, in awe before God's visible power. Stand at attention! Dress your best to honor him! (the message)

Have you ever wondered why God created crickets? Quite frankly it’s never been on my top 10 list of things to question until last night at 2 a.m. Unable to sleep through the uninterrupted chirping, I searched for the cricket that had full intention of pulling an all-nighter in my home. He had picked the wrong house for a nocturnal concert.

I’m assuming God had any number of good reasons to create crickets. Although, I’d be hard pressed to come up with a list on four hours of sleep.

When it comes to the purpose of God’s creating people, however, there’s nothing to question – no reason to wonder. God created us to worship him. He created us to give him praise for who heis and for all of the wonderful things he has done. He created us to delight in him and enjoy him forever.

Psalm 29:2 says, Ascribe (give) to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

As we pray and read the Bible, sing his praises and tell people about Jesus – all should be expressions of our worship. But that’s only a part of how we worship God. Our work, our play, our decisions, our family life and friendships, our homework, our after-school activities, our thoughts, words, and actions, our joy and our pain – each should be offered as worship to our God.

Worship is not a luxury or an option or even our Christian duty. Worship is what we were created to do! It is our purpose in living. It is the reason we breathe. May we be as relentless as crickets in our desire to delight in and worship God today and throughout eternity.

Today’s Prayer:

Jesus, all praise and glory be given to your name! May I always give you the fame you deserve. Thank You for who you are and for all that you have done for me. Show me how everything I do, say, and think can be an act of worship to you. Thank you for creating me to worship you! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Devotional
When we read about the miracles that Jesus performed we will see very simple gestures and spoken words with unwavering faith attached to them. I have not found a place where Jesus went on and on with lengthy prayers for someone to be healed or delivered from an evil spirit. No, he either touched them or spoke a few words and the healing took place. God is present to meet our every need, and He is looking for OUR faith to combine HIS love with to grant our desires. There is much to be taught on faith, however, just keep it simple. Read the bible everyday, trust God, pray and
believe.
