God Hears and will Answer You
“May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!” Psalm 21:1 There are times that we need supernatural support and strength to make it through the challenges of the day. When we call on the Lord He will dispatch help from His throne. Psalm 20:2 says, “He sends help from the sanctuary.” He will send help, sometimes even angelic assistance. Scripture tells us that the angels of the Lord excel in strength at His command. They are like an emergency backup support system that is on call twenty four-seven waiting for the next assignment. When we call out to […]
Secrets of God
“In Him we also were made [God’s] heritage (portion) and we obtained an inheritance; for we had been foreordained (chosen and appointed beforehand) in accordance with His purpose, who works out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His [own] will.” Ephesians 1:11 The secrets of God can be discovered but they are hidden in the secret place. We can go to the secret place and discover His secrets, His will, His plan, and purpose for our life. I believe we must spend time, maybe even hours daily in this secret place, to discover His will for our […]
Seeing and Showing the Love of God
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV) Love can be hard when you come across someone who seems unlovable. They may have harsh words when they speak to you, or they may do things that hurt your feelings and you wonder how you can […]
Rend Your Heart
Should you not fear me?” declares the Lord. “Should you not tremble in my presence? I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross. The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail; they may roar, but they cannot cross it. But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have turned aside and gone away. They do not say to themselves, ‘Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives autumn and spring rains in season, who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’ Your wrongdoings have kept these away; your sins have […]
Do You Know God’s Will For Your Life?
Have you ever questioned what God’s will for your life is? God’s Kingdom is distinct and a different way of life. Phil 2:13 says, “It is God in you that works to will and to act according to His excellent pleasure”. I have actually discovered that I can pray the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy will be done”, and afterwards resist the work of Christ in me. “Col 1: 27 says, To whom God would make understood exactly what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory”. I had […]
Living Life to the Fullest
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. – Matthew 22:37 I have a class assignment due in the morning. I found it extremely interesting and it got me mulling over some things at a depth I haven’t had “time” to do for a while. I think I’m moving too fast these days… I miss the times when I can just slow down and breathe. I miss abiding in Him, in His presence… resting with Him, being gentle and not SO intense about everything. The assignment was to get […]
Abiding in His Presence
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:7 In today’s fast-pace and hectic lifestyles we often strive to accomplish our tasks in order to feel accomplishment. Unfortunately, those busy tasks often cause us to ignore the vital importance of spending time in the presence of God. The word “abiding” means to remain continuously. Our need is to abide in His presence continuously and allow His words to remain in us continuously. Unfortunately, too often we replace abiding in His presence with […]
In Difficult Times, God Hears Our Weeping
The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer. Psalm 6: 9 It seems that everywhere you go now people are discouraged, hurting, and afraid. The news media gives us a steady flow of painful reports that often overwhelm us with concern, and attempt to steal our hope. Unfortunately, in our cluttered and hyper-paced lifestyles we often rush through our challenges and attempt to control the outcomes ourselves. We sometimes get drawn-in to the painful reports and feel overwhelmed with the difficulties. It is important to recognize that in our times of difficulty, we have a […]
The Day of Freedom
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Did you know that this could be your day for freedom? You must first determine what you need freedom from. Do you need freedom from fear and anxiety or do you need freedom from discouragement? You can gain freedom from these emotional bondage’s by being thankful. It may sound too simple but a thankful heart is a profound truth found in God’s Word. A thankful heart is a heart that sees what God has done and […]
The Voice of God
“Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalms 46:10) Do you know what the voice of God sounds like? It is a distinct sound that we hear with our spiritual ears. Spiritual ears are skilled to hear the voice of the Lord and they attain this skill through seasons of stillness. Skill comes through stillness. “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalms 46:10). A skilled bird watcher has ears that are tuned to hear the sounds of birds. He can walk outside and at once identify various birds. Each bird has a unique and distinct sound that […]
