God’s Divine Healing

And said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
Exodus 15:26 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Is God’s divine healing in your life?

First let me give you the correct and proper translation of the Hebrew here: “I will allow none of the diseases to be brought on you…” Do you want the blessings of God in your life, do you want God’s divine healing in your life, Do you want God’s very best for you and your family? You need the ‘Wisdom’ of God to understand how His system works. He tells us in His Word how to get it. Trouble is most of us are too busy listening to the things of this earthly world (desires, lusts and earthly greed) to give heed to His voice and His will for us so that we can even know what He wants us to do. We don’t realize that He speaks to us in many different ways. Sometimes through a friend or co-worker, sometimes through His ministers (your pastor – you do have one right?), sometimes through an e-mail, or a phone call, sometimes just by that still small voice in our spirit. Most of you think that still small voice is just our own conscience, WRONG, that is God’s Spirit, His still small voice trying to guide us by speaking to our spirit. Trouble is we very seldom listen, especially when we are so caught up in things that will one day (and very soon) perish instead of laying up treasures and spiritual things in heaven. Al He asks is that you “diligently” (means: constant in effort to accomplish something; attentive and persistent in doing anything:) heed His Word. As for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord!

MY PRAYER…
Father God, I thank You for giving us a choice in this life. We can choose Your way or we can choose the World’s way. You allow us to choose life or to choose death. But You tell us which we should choose. Your way leads to health and all things that pertain to life and Godliness. The World’s way leads to sickness, disease, poverty, lack, death and eternal destruction. I choose life, Lord. I purpose from this day forward Lord to diligently pursue life and Godliness through You and Your Word. Lord increase my strength in these areas through the power of Your Holy Spirit that I may have the power to overcome. Lord I realize that I can of myself do nothing, but that all things are possible through Jesus Christ
Amen

The Word of God

“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.”
John 15:7-8 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Does the Word of God abide in you?

E.W. Kenyon once made this observation:
“When the spirit is in perfect fellowship with the Lord, faith is as natural as breathing.”
E.W. Kenyon

If My Words abide in You, Jesus speaking. The BIBLE is the living Word of God. God’s living Word abiding in you is how your spirit will walk in perfect fellowship with God and your faith will become as natural as your breathing. When you are walking in perfect fellowship with God you will know that you know that you know that you know that you know, that whatever you ask will be given you. The Bible is our manual for life, given to us by God to direct our lives while we live out this earthly existence in this fleshly shell, this earth suit, this house we call a body. We are spirit and we only live in this body for a short time, and we have a soul (our intellect). When we walk according to His Word and we listen to the ‘still small voice’ as God whispers to us, we will bear much fruit.

MY PRAYER…
Abba Father, Most Holy God, thank You for Your Word. Help instill in me a genuine desire in my heart for more of You and Your Word. Father, put a fire in my belly that can’t be quenched. Cause Your Word to come alive inside of me as I feed on it. Send forth Your revelation knowledge and wisdom as I meditate Your Words that were written to me and are being written in me. In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen

Trust In The Lord

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.
Proverbs 29:25 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Do You Trust in the Lord with all your heart?

What man should we fear? No man! Fear is such a paralyzing emotion. It robs us of courage and vitality, it removes our decision-making ability, and our strength. It causes us to do things we know we shouldn’t do and that we always regret afterwards. Fear is the opposite of faith and it steals our happiness and joy. Fear is of the Devil! Resist the devil and he will flee! Courage helps us step out of fear’s paralysis and into victory. But this kind of courage only comes to us when we fully understand our position in Christ. If we are in faith and trusting God there can be no room for fear in our lives. Satan cannot take our mind, our attitude, and most of all, he cannot take our relationship with God unless we let him do so. A relationship given to us through Jesus, as long as we trust in the Lord our God and stay in faith. Perfect love casts out all fear. And there is NO room for fear when your spirit is full of ‘Faith’, faith in God and what He is and can do!

MY PRAYER…
Mighty Redeemer, thank You for triumphing over all that I would in the natural man fear. Thank you that You have not only given me Jesus in whom I trust, but a hope by which I can live victoriously. Thank You that you have not given me a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind through my Conquering King and Lord, Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus, I thank you.
Amen

So You Want Benefits?

Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation!
Selah
Psalm 68:19 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Did you comprehend what He (God) just said in His scripture to us? The Lord our God loads His children daily with benefits! He didn’t say sickness, disease, depression, and poverty. And He didn’t say just some, He said He would ‘load’ us, that means a lot! He has even provided us with salvation. The Hebrew word translated as salvation here is; H3444. yeshuw’ah, yesh-oo’-aw; fem. pass. part. of H3467; something saved, i.e. (abstr.) deliverance; hence aid, victory, prosperity:–deliverance, health, help (-ing), salvation, save, saving (health), welfare.
Notice that among the many things that the translator could have used and should have used are victory, prosperity, deliverance, health, and welfare or well being. All of these are part of our salvation. Don’t just reach into the gift box and take out one thing, take it ALL! I feel sorry for those people whose churches do NOT teach the ‘full meal deal’ concerning salvation! Being saved and having eternal life means nothing here and now unless you also have victory, prosperity, deliverance, health, and well being. These are ALL some of God’s benefits that He already gave us! You do NOT have to wait until you are in Heaven for these things. What good are they to you then? The Bible says: “Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10) All of these are part of our salvation. There is NO sickness and disease in Heaven. There is NO lack in Heaven. There is NO defeat in Heaven. That means we shouldn’t have any here and now either if Matthew 6:10 is true, and God’s Word is always true! He did this for me before I ever loved Him! He loads us daily with His benefits. “Blessed be the Lord, my God!”

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father God, thank You for the air I breath, the blood that pumps through my veins, and the Spirit of life that You have breathed into me. Thank You Father for loving me before I ever loved You. For loving me so much that You sent Jesus, Your only begotten Son, to take my place on the cross. To bear that which I was due, that I might have life and life more abundantly. Thank You for loading me daily with benefits and good things. Thank You Lord, that You are the God of more than enough! Thank You Father, for Your saving grace and Your mercy unto me. In Jesus’ name, I pray.
Amen

Authentic Christians

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you , so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
John 13:34-35 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
How do you recognize real “Authentic” Christians? Did you know there are “False” Christians. They aren’t really what they seem, we are warned about them in the scripture also. So, how do you recognize authentic Christians, the true followers of Jesus? How do you know who the true (Authentic) Christians are? How do you separate the true Christians from the one’s claiming to be Christian, but are really just religious people punching a time clock? Jesus said they (the Authentic Christians, the ones who are Christ-like) love each other just as He loved the disciples. In the immediate context, this means He was willing to give sacrificially and selflessly by dying for them on the cross, and He was also willing to love selflessly and practically by becoming their servant and even washing their feet to show them how they must be. His ministry reveals what a Christian is to be like, ALL the time, not just on Sunday mornings in church. In the book of Acts they met daily from house to house. Imagine if we all read, understood, and did the Gospels, and committed to love each other in the same way Jesus showed His love to His disciples! Are you a disciple of Jesus, a true (Authentic) Christian, or are you just a religious social (Counterfeit) Christian? You are a true (Authentic) Christian if you love the Brethren all the time and bear the fruit of a Christ-like life. Otherwise you’re only a social Christian, a religious counterfeit. Going to church doesn’t make a Christian just like going to McDonalds doesn’t make you a hamburger!

MY PRAYER…
Father of Compassion, Mercy, and God of all grace, I thank You for teaching me to love through the example of Your Son Jesus. May my words and actions reflect some resemblance of His love toward Your people today. May I learn to walk, talk and live the life that He lived everyday of my life. Father, help me to not be a religious counterfeit like the Pharisees and Sadducees. Through Christ, my Great and Glorious example, I pray.
Amen

God So Loved the “World!”

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:9-10 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
The Bible says: “God so Loved the “World”, that’s everybody folks!” That’s right everybody, sinners included. Love here is a verb, an action, something happening. We can’t say it enough, it must come from the heart (the spirit) of man. Love in the sense being spoken of by in these verses is not the physical love that most of us think of when we hear the word “love”. Love must not only be spoken, but must also be shown. The beginning of love is God. God is love. He showed His love in the most sacrificial of ways so we could know how much He loved us, to know our incredible value to Him. The price of our adoption as sons/daughters was the emptying of heaven of its greatest treasure, God the Son, who is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was sent to pay the price for us, because God so loved the world! Jesus was the propitiation ((Theol.) That which propitiates; atonement or atoning sacrifice; specifically, the influence or effects of the death of Christ in appeasing the divine justice, and conciliating the divine favor. ) for our sins.

MY PRAYER…
Loving Father, thank You for adopting me into Your family. I can never thank You enough or ever repay You for Your kindness and Your mercy, but I can offer my self a living sacrifice unto You. Please receive the service of my life today as thanksgiving for Your grace (Your unmerited favor) and my small way of trying to share the love You have given me. Through my Brother, my Ransom, my Lord, and my Savior, Jesus, I pray.
Amen

God’s Plans

“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.”
Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version (NIV)

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Are you walking in God’s plans for you?

Before you were formed in your mother’s womb, God had already planned your life with Him. He had already ordained that you would be priests and kings in His Kingdom. But because He is a just and a loving God He has allowed us to have our own way & will and to live and do the things we want to, even NOT serving Him. We can choose to follow His Word, which is His will for us or we can choose to do our own thing and be like the rest of the heathen unsaved world, which is in an ever steepening spiral straight into Hell. If we choose His way and His will He will prosper us and give us a future with Him, but if we choose our own thing then His hand is not in it and we will not (CAN NOT) receive what He has for us, we are on our own. Instead we leave ourselves open for what is referred to in Deuteronomy 28:15-68, as the CURSE. But God even tells us which to choose between life or death…His choice – choose life!

MY PRAYER…
In my struggles, O Lord, help me find the grace You have already given me. Lord help me to fulfill the plan and purpose that You wrote in the book of my life before I was born. Lord help me to see, through Your Holy Spirit and Your Word what You have planned for me. By Your grace and through Your mercy when You sent my Lord and Savior, Jesus, I pray.
Amen

Heaven On Earth

Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”
John 14:23 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Did you know you can have Heaven on earth right now?

Did you notice what He said? He said we (The Father God, The Son Jesus, and The Holy Spirit) will come to you and make our home with you. That’s here and now on earth, not when we get to heaven! At many Christian funerals, the preacher or speaker emphasizes how Jesus has left to make ready a house in His Father’s mansion for us to join Him in heaven. Then He is going to come back for us. But in these verses here, Jesus makes what I believe to be an even more important promise. He’s telling us that until it is time for us to come be with Him in His mansion in Heaven, He will come live with us here and now on earth. It all hinges on one thing, our willingness to obey Him. Do you want Him to live with you here and now? It’s not a bad deal, is it? We do not have to wait until we get to heaven to experience the God kind of life, we are supposed to have heaven here on Earth! So let’s not allow obedience to be a forgotten word in our lifestyle. Let’s not fall prey to the sin that caused Lucifer to fall from heaven and become Satan. Let’s do the will of God. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Then Jesus and the Father will come to us, here on earth, and make their home with us.

So He said to them, “When you pray, say:

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven. (Luke 11:2)

MY PRAYER…
Father, thank You for providing us with Your Word as our Guide in life. Thank You for creating an operating manual for my life here on earth, Your Holy Word. My request, Father, I need Your abiding presence to face the challenges of life. As You have upheld Your children through the ages, I am thankful to greet each day knowing that I will not face it alone. But I know that You are here with me each and every day, living in my heart. Father, let me be an instrument of Your peace, harmony, and unity here on earth. In Jesus’ precious name I pray.
Amen

Probably one of God’s best promises:

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.
Isaiah 43:19-21 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
God is ready to do a new thing for His chosen people. We as Christians (not the religious ‘zealots’, but those who belong to Jesus and live like He did.) are His chosen people, a Holy Priesthood. Are we ready to receive His new thing? He says He will make a way even in the deserts of our lives. That He will bring forth rivers where there are none so that we, His chosen people can come and drink. Then we are to show forth His praise. Have you came to the river lately? Are you drinking from His river regularly? Are you honoring Him with your praise daily regardless of your circumstances? You should be. Your praise to Him should not be dependent upon your circumstances or how you feel. It should just praise Him for what He is and what He has already done for you – then the joy will come to you.

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, I thank You that You make a way where there seems to be no way. That You provide for Your children’s every need. Thank You Lord for Your river, where we may come forth and drink whenever we are thirsty. Thank you Jesus, for You have provided us that river in Yourself. You said, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” Thank You Father for Your rivers of provision. In Jesus name I pray.

Amen

God’s Promises Continue Whether You Receive Them Or Not Is Up To You!

Promises from God:
God promises us His spiritual blessings of forgiveness.
I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Psalms 32:5 NKJV)

As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. (Psalms 103:12 NKJV) Think about this one for awhile – If you go north over the pole eventually you will be going south, but if you go east around the equator you never go west! You are always traveling east. God knew what He was saying when He made this statement ‘as far as the east is from the west’ they never meet!

I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins. (Isaiah 43:25 NKJV)

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9 NKJV)

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. (Ephesians 1:7 NKJV)

Thoughts
Learn what God’s Promises are and then claim them as yours! He gave them to you.

Amen
