July 31st 2023 – Be Still and Know that HE is God

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it can be challenging to find moments of stillness and peace. We often find ourselves caught up in the noise of the world, constantly bombarded by distractions and responsibilities. However, in the midst of it all, God calls us to pause and find solace in His presence.

Psalm 46:10-11 says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.”

These verses remind us of the importance of stillness and seeking God’s presence. In the quiet moments of our lives, we can experience His divine calmness, reassurance, and guidance. It is in the stillness that we come to truly know and understand God’s character, His faithfulness, and His sovereignty over all things.

When we take the time to be still, to cease striving and worrying, we create space for God to work within us. In the stillness, we can hear His gentle whisper, guiding us, comforting us, and reminding us of His unfailing love for us. It is in these moments that our faith is strengthened, and we find the courage to face the challenges that lie ahead.

God invites us to lay down our burdens, to release control, and to trust in His perfect plan. He longs to be exalted not only in our lives but also among the nations and throughout the whole earth. As we experience His presence and peace, we become vessels of His love and light, spreading it to those around us.

I encourage you to find a quiet place, free from distractions, and spend time in stillness before God. Breathe deeply, allowing His peace to fill your heart. Be reminded that He is with you, that He is your refuge and strength, and that He is always in control. Take comfort in the assurance that you are loved and cherished by the Almighty God.

May the words of Psalm 46:10-11 resonate within your spirit, leading you to a deeper understanding of God’s character and a greater trust in His unfailing presence. May you find solace in the stillness, knowing that He is God, and in Him, you will always find rest for your soul.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, In the midst of the chaos and uncertainties that surround us, we come before You with grateful hearts. Your Word in Psalm 46:10-11 reminds us to be still and know that You are God. We acknowledge that in the stillness, we find comfort, strength, and unwavering faith.

Lord, help us to quiet our hearts and minds, to let go of our worries, and to trust in Your perfect plan. Grant us the wisdom to surrender our anxieties and fears to You, knowing that You are in control of every situation. As we submit to Your authority, we find peace that surpasses all understanding.

Father, we recognize that You are exalted among the nations, and Your glory extends to the ends of the earth. May Your name be praised and lifted high in every corner of the world. Use us, Your children, as instruments of Your love, grace, and mercy. Help us to reflect Your light in a darkened world and to point others towards Your everlasting hope.

In the stillness, we find solace in Your presence. Your Spirit whispers words of comfort, assurance, and guidance. Strengthen our faith as we listen attentively to Your voice. Give us the courage to step out in obedience, trusting that You will be our fortress and refuge.

We thank You, Lord, for being our constant companion. We rejoice in knowing that You are always with us, even in the midst of trials and challenges. Your unfailing love sustains us, and Your mighty power upholds us. May we never lose sight of Your faithfulness as we navigate through life’s storms.

As we meditate on these verses, Lord, deepen our understanding of who You are. Teach us to rely on Your strength rather than our own. Help us to surrender our desires and plans at Your feet, seeking Your will above all else. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally in your life, please consider the love and forgiveness that Jesus offers each and every one of us freely. He has personally changed my life..

Jesus Christ says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20)

The Bible promises eternal life to all who receive Christ: “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:11-13)

If you have not asked Jesus into your life you can receive Jesus Christ right now by faith through prayer.

Prayer is just talking with God. He knows your heart, so don’t worry about getting your words just right. Here is a suggested prayer to guide you:

Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.

If you have done this, then congratulations! (Luke 15:7) says that when one sinner accepts Jesus Christ as his or her Saviour the angels rejoice. So there’s a party going on in heaven right now over your decision! Remember this date as your “second birthday,” the day you were born into a new life in Christ! You have God’s Word that he answered your prayer.

July 27th 2023 – Living a Life of Honor, Reflect God’s Character

Leave a reply

As followers of Christ, let us embrace the transformative power of honor in our lives. By honoring God, others, and ourselves, we reflect the character of our Heavenly Father to a world in need of His love and grace. May every word we speak, every action we take, and every thought we entertain be infused with the essence of honor. Let us be known as a people who uplift, inspire, and bring honor to our Lord, leaving a lasting legacy of love and integrity.

Proverbs 3:3-4 – “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man

1. Honoring God: Honor begins with recognizing the greatness and majesty of our Heavenly Father. God is the source of all honor, worthy of our utmost reverence and respect. When we honor God, we acknowledge His sovereignty, obey His commands, and seek to live in alignment with His will. Our lives become a testimony to His glory, as we reflect His love, grace, and truth to the world around us.

2. Honoring Others: In a world marked by selfishness and disregard for one another, honoring others becomes a transformative act that sets us apart as followers of Christ. Jesus taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and honoring others is an expression of that love. When we honor others, we treat them with dignity, respect, and kindness. We value their worth, appreciate their uniqueness, and seek to build them up rather than tear them down.

3. Honoring Ourselves: While humility is essential in our Christian walk, it is equally important to recognize our intrinsic value as children of God. Honoring ourselves means embracing the truth that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, created in the image of our Heavenly Father. When we honor ourselves, we take care of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We cultivate a healthy self-esteem, grounded in God’s love, and strive to live a life worthy of the calling we have received.

4. Honoring in Action: Honor is not merely a concept to ponder but a virtue to be lived out. It is through our actions that honor finds its fullest expression. We honor God by worshiping Him wholeheartedly, seeking His guidance in all aspects of life, and living according to His Word. We honor others by practicing forgiveness, speaking words of encouragement, and serving them with humility and compassion. We honor ourselves by setting healthy boundaries, pursuing personal growth, and using our talents and abilities for God’s glory.

Philippians 4:8 – “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

Remember, honor is not a one-time act but a lifelong pursuit. May the Holy Spirit guide and empower you to live a life that honors God, honors others, and honors yourself. May your life be a radiant reflection of the honor and glory that belong to our Heavenly Father

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You today with hearts filled with gratitude for Your abundant grace and love. We thank You for the gift of life and the opportunity to know You and follow Your ways. Lord, we desire to develop and live a life of honor, a life that reflects Your character and brings glory to Your name.

We ask for Your guidance and strength as we embark on this journey of honor. Teach us, Lord, to honor You above all else. Help us to recognize Your sovereignty, to trust in Your plans, and to obey Your commands. May our lives be a testament to Your greatness, as we seek to honor You in every aspect of our lives.

Lord, we also ask for Your help in honoring others. Fill our hearts with a genuine love and compassion for those around us. Grant us the grace to treat others with kindness, respect, and dignity, regardless of their background or circumstances. Help us to see the value in every person, just as You do. May we be known for our acts of love and service, always seeking to build others up and point them to You.

Father, we acknowledge that honoring ourselves is an important aspect of living a life of honor. Help us to see ourselves through Your eyes, as beloved children of God. Remove any feelings of self-doubt or unworthiness, and fill us with confidence in who You have created us to be. Guide us in taking care of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, so that we may live lives of purpose and fulfillment.

Lord, we know that living a life of honor is not always easy. There will be challenges and temptations along the way. But we trust in Your strength and guidance to remain steadfast in our pursuit of honor. Help us to rely on Your Word, to seek Your wisdom, and to lean on Your Spirit for discernment and strength in every situation.

Father, we surrender ourselves to You and ask that You shape us into honorable vessels for Your glory. May our lives be a testimony to the transformative power of Your love and grace. Use us, Lord, to shine Your light in a world that so desperately needs it. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

July 13th 2023 ‐ Fishers of Men

Leave a reply

Let’s explore the profound metaphor of “Fishers of Men” This analogy speaks to our calling as believers to share the love and message of God with others, just as fishermen cast their nets to catch fish. Let us delve into this concept and discover its significance for our lives.

Imagine, if you will, the serene scene by the shores of the sea. Picture a group of fishermen, going about their daily work, casting their nets into the waters. Jesus, in His wisdom, used this everyday scene to teach His followers about their purpose and mission in life.

1. A Divine Call – Jesus called His disciples to become “fishers of men,” inviting them to leave behind their former lives and follow Him. This call extends to us today. We are chosen and called by God to be His representatives in the world, to share His love, and to bring others into a vibrant relationship with Him.

Matthew 4:19 – “‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.'”

2. Casting Our Nets – Just as fishermen cast their nets into the sea, we are called to cast our nets of love, compassion, and the message of salvation into the world around us. This involves stepping out of our comfort zones, reaching out to those who are hurting, lost, or in need of the hope that only Christ can provide. Let us be intentional in our actions, seeking opportunities to share God’s love with those we encounter.

Mark 1:16-18 – “As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. ‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will send you out to fish for people.’ At once they left their nets and followed him.”

3. Trusting in God’s Providence – Fishing requires faith and trust in the provision of God. Fishermen cast their nets and wait, knowing that their catch is ultimately in God’s hands. Similarly, as we engage in sharing the Gospel, we must trust in God’s timing and His ability to work in the lives of those we reach. We plant the seeds, but it is God who brings the increase. Let us have faith that He will bring forth a bountiful harvest.

Luke 5:10-11 – “Then Jesus said to Simon, ‘Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.’ So, they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.”

4. Nurturing and Discipling – Once the fish are caught, fishermen take care of their catch, ensuring their well-being and growth. Similarly, we are called to nurture and disciple those who respond to the message of Christ. We walk alongside them, guiding, teaching, and supporting them on their journey of faith. Let us be a source of encouragement, offering guidance and sharing the wisdom and truth found in God’s Word.

Matthew 28:19-20 – “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

The significance of being fishers of men.

May we embrace our divine call, casting our nets of love and truth into the world around us. Let us trust in God’s provision and timing, knowing that He is at work in the lives of those we encounter. And may we faithfully nurture and disciple those who respond, guiding them towards a deeper relationship with Christ. Remember, our role as fishers of men is not limited to a select few; it is an invitation for all believers to participate in the redemptive work of God. May we embrace this calling wholeheartedly and be ambassadors of His love and grace in the world.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before you today with humble hearts, seeking your guidance and strength to be fishers of men, just as Jesus called his disciples to be. We acknowledge that it is through your power and grace that we can fulfill this calling. We ask for your wisdom and discernment as we interact with others, that we may have the right words to share the good news of your love and salvation. Help us to see people as you see them, with compassion and a desire for their spiritual well-being.

Grant us the courage to step out of our comfort zones, to reach out to those who are lost and searching for meaning in their lives. Give us opportunities to build relationships and establish connections with those who are in need of your saving grace. We also ask for your patience and perseverance as we walk alongside those we are discipling. Help us to be good listeners, ready to offer guidance and support. Give us the words to speak truth and love into their lives, pointing them towards you and helping them grow in their faith.

May your Holy Spirit empower us to be effective witnesses of your truth, shining your light in the darkness. Give us boldness to share our testimonies and the hope that we have in Jesus Christ.

Father, we surrender our own desires and agendas, and ask that you align our hearts with yours. Help us to be obedient to your leading, following your example of love and service. We ask all these things in Jesus precious name, Amen.

Invitation:

Have you ever eacknowledged Jesus as you Lord and Savior?

If you do not know Him personally. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. We truly are living in the end days, a d the only road to Heavwn is through Jesus Christ. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. Jesus loves us and wants to help us through the storms.

July 9th 2023 – God’s Compassion and Power to Heal

Leave a reply

Today, let’s reflect on the profound gift of healing that our Lord has bestowed upon us. Throughout the pages of the Bible, we witness countless examples of God’s compassion and power to heal the brokenness in our lives. It is through His grace and love that we find restoration, both in body and spirit.

Isaiah 53:5 – “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”

In the book of Isaiah, we are reminded that it is the Lord who heals our diseases and binds up our wounds. His divine touch brings forth miraculous healing, mending the deepest pains and restoring us to wholeness. It is through His Son, Jesus Christ, that we find ultimate healing, for He bore our sins and infirmities on the cross, offering us redemption and eternal life.

As followers of Christ, we are called to not only seek healing for ourselves but to also become vessels of His healing for others. We are encouraged to extend the love and compassion of Jesus to those who are hurting and broken, just as He did during His earthly ministry. Through prayer, laying on of hands, and speaking words of encouragement, we have the privilege to participate in the healing work of our Lord.

However, we must also recognize that healing does not always occur in the way we expect or desire. Sometimes, physical ailments persist, emotional wounds linger, and the answers to our prayers seem elusive. In these moments, we are called to trust in God’s sovereignty and wisdom. He alone knows what is best for us, and He promises to be with us in every season of life.

Even if complete physical healing is not granted in this earthly realm, we can find solace in the spiritual healing that God offers. His grace is sufficient to carry us through any affliction, providing comfort, peace, and strength. Through our trials, we are refined and transformed, drawing closer to God and becoming more like His Son, Jesus Christ.

Let us also remember that healing extends beyond the physical realm. Our souls require healing from the wounds of sin, guilt, and shame. It is through the power of Christ’s sacrifice and forgiveness that we find true spiritual healing. As we surrender our brokenness to Him, He washes away our sins and fills us with His perfect love and peace.

Today, let us approach the throne of grace with faith and confidence, seeking God’s healing touch in our lives. Whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual healing, we can trust that our Heavenly Father hears our prayers and responds according to His perfect will. Let us also strive to be instruments of His healing, bringing hope and restoration to those around us.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before you today, seeking your healing touch in our lives. We lay our burdens and ailments at your feet, trusting in your power to restore and renew us. Lord, we believe that you are the Great Physician, capable of healing every affliction, both physical and spiritual.

In the name of Jesus, we ask for your healing presence to flow through our bodies, bringing strength, comfort, and restoration. Touch every area of pain, sickness, and disease, and replace it with your divine health. We declare that by your stripes, we are healed.

Lord, we also ask for emotional and spiritual healing. Mend the brokenness within our hearts and minds, and bring peace and wholeness to our souls. Heal us from the wounds of the past, and fill us with your love, joy, and peace that surpasses all understanding.

We pray not only for ourselves but also for those around us who are in need of healing. Reach out your hand and touch them with your grace and mercy. Use us as instruments of your healing, that we may bring hope and comfort to those who are hurting.

As we await your healing touch, grant us patience, faith, and trust in your perfect timing. Help us to surrender our worries and fears, knowing that you are in control and have a plan for our lives. May your will be done, and may your healing power be manifest in our lives for your glory.

In Jesus’ holy and precious name, we pray. Amen.

If you have never experienced the love of God through a relationship with Jesus then come to Him today. He will never turn you away.

July 7th 2023 – New Beginnings Through God’s Grace

Leave a reply

As we embark on a new day, we are often filled with a sense of anticipation and hope. New beginnings allow us to leave behind the past, wipe the slate clean, and embrace the possibilities that lie ahead. In our Christian journey, we are blessed with the promise of new beginnings through the transformative power of God’s grace.

In 2 Corinthians 5:17, The Apostle Paul reminds us that when we come to Christ, we become new creations. Our past mistakes, regrets, and shortcomings no longer define us. Instead, we are given a fresh start, a chance to begin again. This newness is not something we can create on our own, but rather a gift from God Himself.

Just as the dawn breaks after a long night, God’s grace brings light and hope into the darkest corners of our lives. It is through His grace that we find forgiveness, redemption, and the strength to move forward. No matter how broken or lost we may feel, God’s love provides a way for us to experience a new beginning.

In embracing this new beginning, we are called to surrender our old ways and patterns of living. It requires humility and a willingness to let go of our own desires and ambitions, instead aligning our hearts with God’s will. As we embark on this fresh chapter, let us seek His guidance and direction, seeking to honor Him in all that we do.

Remember, that new beginnings are not just a one-time event but a continuous process. Each day, we have the opportunity to turn to God, seek His forgiveness, and experience His transforming power. Let us approach each new day with gratitude and a readiness to embrace the newness that God’s grace provides.

As we walk this journey of faith, let us encourage one another, reminding ourselves and our fellow believers of the promise of new beginnings in Christ. May we extend the same grace and love that we have received to those around us, helping them discover the hope and joy that comes from starting anew.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of new beginnings through Your grace. Help us to fully embrace this fresh start, leaving behind our past mistakes and embracing the possibilities that lie ahead. Guide us in aligning our hearts with Your will, allowing Your transforming power to work in us each day. May we be a light to others, extending Your love and grace to those in need. In Jesus’ name, we pray. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

If you have never experienced the love of God through a relationship with Jesus then come to Him today. He will never turn you away.

May 4th 2020 – Look To Jesus

Leave a reply

“The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven.” (Hebrews 1:3)

There is just something about the name of Jesus! His Name is the most beautiful of all names. This verse shows us that Jesus radiates God’s very glory, and He expresses the very character of the Father. Jesus said that he who has seen Him has seen the Father. He and His Father are one.

The reason this is so important is that many times we do not fully understand God, because we have never seen Him. But when we look into the Gospels and we read about Jesus, He shows us who God the Father is. You see, Jesus was a healer, and a provider. He let John lay His head on His chest. Jesus is the One that calmed the storms and raised the dead. He is the One who promised those that believe in Him that we will have eternal life.

When we understand that to look at Jesus is to see the Father, we know that the Father will heal us, and the Father will calm the storms in our lives. He will provide for our needs, and He wants us to lay our heads near His heart and rest in Him. You see, the Father loves us just like Jesus does. The Father and Jesus are one, and the great love that Jesus showed by going to the cross to die for you and me is the same love that the Father in heaven has for us.

That is why Jesus said not to pray to Him, but to pray to our Father in heaven in His Name, and He will answer us. So today, get to know the Father. He loves you and cares for you. To know Him is to know life. So enjoy His presence in your life each and every day!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I praise You in all circumstances Lord, Thank You for your overwhelming love that You have for me. I want to know my Father better and see all that my Father is, and the place that He wants to take in my life. Please help me share who You are to everyone. I pray this in Jesus’ glorious name, Amen.

April 12th 2020 – He Shall Live

Leave a reply

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.” (John 11:25)

Easter is not about the Easter Bunny or brightly colored eggs. Easter is about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

For some, Easter will be a great day, spent surrounded by family and friends. But for others, it will be a sad day, because Easter is a reminder of a loved one who has died and is now desperately missed.

Death seems so cruel, so harsh, and so final. That is what the disciples were feeling when they saw their Lord, whom they had left everything to follow, hanging on the cross. They were devastated. Death had crushed them. But if they would have gone back in their memories, they would have recalled an important event and statement Jesus had made.

They would have remembered Jesus standing at the tomb of his close friend Lazarus. They would have remembered that Jesus did something completely unexpected: He wept (see John 11:35 ). Jesus wept, because He knew that death was not part of God’s original plan. Humanity was not meant to grow old, to suffer with disease, or to die. But because of the sin of Adam and Eve, sin entered the human race, and death followed with it. And death spread to all of us. Jesus wept, because it broke His heart.

But standing there at Lazarus’ tomb, Jesus also delivered these hope filled words: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live” (John 11:25).

Death is not the end. And the resurrection of Jesus Christ proves it.

If you have put your faith in Christ, then Easter means that you will live forever in the presence of God. Easter brings hope to the person who has been devastated by death.

“Death is not the end for the Believer in Christ!”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for taking my sin upon You. I am sorry for the wrong things I have done and for the right I have failed to do. I confess my sins to You and ask for forgiveness. (Confess your sins, by act and by name to Him). Lord, thank You for helping me with my past and present sins. Help me to keep my eyes not on my sin, but on my Savior, Jesus. Help me to soar by casting off the weights of sin. Help me to live the life You have called me to live. I thank You for having a winning game plan for dealing with my Sin, In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Happy Easter from Scripturalseeds.org

Looking to ask Jesus into or recommit your life to Him? Read Below..

Jesus says “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.” (Revelation 3:20)

The Bible promises eternal life to all who receive Christ: “And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life.” (1 John 11-13)

If you have not asked Jesus into your life, You can receive Jesus Christ right now by faith through prayer.

March 16th 2020 – Love or Fear

Leave a reply

“for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.” (Galatians 2:12)

Are you afraid of people? While we often think of that question in terms of physical harm, the reality is that most of the time our fear of others is a fear of rejection or ridicule. This fear leads us to disobedience or apathy.

One of the primary examples of this is our fear to witness to others. We have the greatest news in the world and yet alot of people are afraid to share it because of what someone may think. Imagine if the apostle Paul was fearful of men. We would not have a large chunk of the New Testament or the spread of the Gospel. Paul put aside his fear of others because he had a healthy fear of the Lord. In other words, his love for the Lord trumped his fear of people. Step out today and be a witness. God is with you and He can use that one step of faith for something amazing.

“The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.” (Proverbs 29:25)

Prayer:

Heavenly Father , Thank You for Your love and grace. Help me to love others much more then fear. Give me boldness to tell the Truth about You. Lord, I want to extend the same grace You have given me to others. I need You. Please work in my life and in my heart. I surrender it ALL to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen

March 15th 2020 – Forgiven in Christ Our Lord

Leave a reply

“Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God” (Romans 15:15)

Satan loves to remind us of our past sins and failures. He finds great pleasure in bringing up things that God has long forgiven us of.

Revelation chapter 12:10 refers to Satan as the “accuser of our brethren.” That’s what he does, but not because he’s really got anything on us. If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Bible tells us that your sins have been separated from you as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). So, what does it profit the enemy to bring up what you’ve been forgiven of? He wants to distract you from following Jesus. If he can get you to listen to his accusations, maybe he can shame you into believing that you’ve crossed some line of forgiveness that doesn’t exist. That is his game and he is betting that he can pull you into it. Remember the words in 1st John

“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)

Has Satan distracted you from following Jesus? Don’t believe his lies, and friend, in love, you need to quit listening to your enemy. You have got a great future ahead of you. Satan, on the other hand… well… his future is not so good because he will be thrown into the lake of fire. He will be destroyed. He knows it. So, the next time the enemy tries to remind you of your past, remind him of his future.

“We often forget what we should remember and remember what we should forget.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for sending Your only Son, Jesus to die on the cross for my sins. Thank You for the promise that one day, You will wipe the tears from my eyes and there will be no more death, sorrow or crying. Thank You that I can have peace through Jesus, no matter what trial or difficulties I am experiencing. Please forgive me for the times when I have surrendered my peace to a situation or problem and help me to live for You every day. I rejoice in knowing the future that lies ahead of me is so much better than the past that is behind me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

March 14th 2020 – God Is Love!

Leave a reply

Then the LORD said to me, “Go and love your wife again, even though she commits adultery with another lover. This will illustrate that the LORD still loves Israel, even though the people have turned to other gods and love to worship them.” (Hosea 3:1)

Have you ever taken time to truly think about God’s love? In Hosea, we get a glimpse of this love through the lives of the prophet Hosea and his wife Gomer. Gomer has continued to commit adultery against her husband, yet God tells Hosea to go and love her again. You see, this is not just a story about marriage and it’s not just an image of Israel. This is also a picture of the Gospel.

Like Gomer, we all have continued to walk away from God. We chase after other things to make us happy or fulfill our lives all the while forgetting the One who truly loves us. If the story ended there, we would be in a hard situation, but like Gomer, we have a heavenly Father Who was willing to buy us back. How did He buy us back? God purchased us from the slavery of sin with the blood of His Son Jesus. You see, while we were in bondage to our sinful ways, Jesus stepped out of heaven, walked to the cross and died in our place. When He died, He buried our sins with Him. When He arose, He pronounced freedom to all who would trust in Him. His reason for doing this for us is simple. God loves us.

“God is love”

If you have never experienced the love of God through a relationship with Jesus then come to Him today. He will never turn you away. You can pray a prayer like this…

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I know that I have sinned. Today, I come to You and ask that You would forgive me of my sins. I believe Jesus died for me and that He rose again. Fill me with Your Spirit and use me for Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you have read this prayer and believed in your heart, then congratulations!

(Luke 15:7) says that when one sinner accepts Jesus Christ as his or her Savior the angels rejoice. So there’s a party going on in heaven right now over your decision! Remember this date as your “second birthday,” the day you were born into a new life in Christ! You have God’s Word that he answered your prayer.
