November 20th 2024 – Coming Home to You

Please watch this first

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” (John 14:6)

The song “I’m Coming Home to You” beautifully encapsulates the journey each of us takes as we navigate through the complexities of life. In the first verse, we find ourselves wandering in the silence of the night, chasing after fleeting desires and earthly pursuits. This imagery resonates with our human experience—times when we feel lost or distant from God. Yet, the comforting reminder is that His love shines like an unwavering light, guiding us back home.

As we move into the chorus, we declare our intention to return home to God. This act of coming home signifies more than just physical location; it represents a spiritual return to the heart of our Creator. We acknowledge that true peace and release are found only in His embrace. It’s a recognition that, in the warmth of His love, our restless souls can finally find rest.

The second verse reminds us that even in our darkest valleys of doubt and fear, we are never truly alone. God’s gentle whisper calls to us, inviting us to lay down our burdens and seek solace in Him. It’s in these moments of surrender that we discover the depth of His grace, leading us back to our rightful place in His presence.

In the third verse, with the dawn of a new day, we are reminded of God’s unending grace and the fresh start it offers. How beautiful it is to envision Him welcoming us back with open arms, filling the voids that life may have created in our hearts. This image of restoration is a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness.

Finally, final verses evokes a sense of commitment and belonging. No longer do we need to run or hide from our struggles; in His love, we find our true identity. His mercy flows abundantly, and in His presence, we discover our true home.

The journey of life often leads us to feelings of being lost or distant from God, but His unwavering love guides us back home. Return to God for the source of true peace and rest, even in times of doubt and fear. Remember that in God’s embrace, we can find our true identity and restoration.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my safe haven and guiding light. Help me to recognize when I’ve wandered away and give me the courage to return to You. May I find peace in Your arms and grace in Your presence. Let me always remember that I am coming home to You, where my heart finds rest and my soul is renewed. In Jesus’ Holy name, Amen.

Spend a few moments in silence, reflecting on your journey to God. Are there areas where you feel distant? Invite Him to draw you closer, knowing that He is always waiting with open arms.

If you do not know Jesus personally, I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here

November 19th 2024 -Stealth Attacks

“I trust in the Lord for protection. So why do you say to me, “Fly like a bird to the mountains for safety! The wicked are stringing their bows and fitting their arrows on the bowstrings. They shoot from the shadowsat those whose hearts are right.” (Psalm 11:1-2)

David faced many attacks in his life as a man mightily used by the Lord. Because of envy King Saul tried to kill David before he became king. Later his own son would plot against him and seek to remove him from the throne.

When we place our trust in the Lord it is certain that we will be a target for the attacks of the enemy. To discourage you the enemy can even spring a sudden attack upon you using your family or the people you worship and serve with. In order for our lives to be firmly built upon the foundation of trusting in the Lord we should be in the Word, be with our brothers and sisters in Christ, and be continually exhorting one another with love and encouragement. The Bible gives us a list of battle gear to prepare us for spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6 not because we don’t expect to face battles but because we do.

As believers and followers of Jesus we face battles and attacks in this world. From:

1) The world

2) The flesh

3) The devil and his accomplices

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, please help me to always put my trust in You and ask for your Grace  When the attacks come let me look to You and to Your Word for the weapons that You have fashioned for me to stand against the enemy. I come to You asking for help to discern the lies of the enemy, especially when the enemy hides within all the strife and tension that he creates. Open my eyes to recognize any spirit of division or confusion as the enemy’s plan to divert me away from God will for my life. I submit my life to You. Help me to surrender to You in every way and choose to live according to Your word. Continue to teach me by reading and speaking Your Word so that it is implanted in my heart and becomes part of my daily life. I want to live in obedience to You in prayer, in praise, in worship, and in gratitude. Thank You, Lord, that You have given all who accept You in their hearts victory over all the plans of the enemy. Thank You that he has to flee from our lives when we expose his plans to the light. Thank You for the wisdom to identify the enemy’s work in our lives and the power to resist him. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Put your faith and trust in Jesus! If you do not know Him personally please read below.

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 do not know Jesus personally, Give yourself the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here

November 18th 2024 – Embracing Divine Healing Through Christ

“But He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds, we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

“Is anyone among you suffering from illness? Let them summon the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer offered in faith will restore the sick, and the Lord will raise them up.” (James 5:14-15)

Throughout the Bible, healing serves as a profound theme that encompasses both physical ailments and the afflictions of the spirit. The ministry of Jesus was characterized by His compassionate acts of healing towards the sick, the blind, and those burdened by suffering. He not only restored their physical health but also offered forgiveness, comfort, and peace to their souls.

As you read these scriptures, take a moment to identify the areas of your life that are in need of healing. This may include physical illnesses, emotional struggles, or spiritual distress. God invites us all to cast our burdens upon Him, trusting in His divine plan for our restoration and well-being.

Allow yourself to be still and attuned to God’s presence. Imagine the gentle, healing touch of Jesus wrapping around you like a warm embrace. Contemplate His promises and the profound peace that comes from the knowledge that He deeply cares for your every need.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, through prayer and supplication, along with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will protect your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)

“Always remember that healing is not merely a destination but a journey filled with faith and trust. Embrace the process and rely on God’s perfect timing, continually seeking His presence and divine guidance with each step you take.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with the burdens of my struggles and the weight of my ailments. You are the Great Healer, the Comforter of souls, and the Restorer of joy. Touch my body with Your healing hand, soothe my spirit with Your gentle love, and renew my heart with the hope only You can give.

Teach me, Lord, to trust in Your unfailing goodness, even in the midst of trials. Open my eyes to see Your presence in every moment of my life, and remind me that I am never alone. Let Your peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding, guard my heart and mind and lead me closer to You each day. In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, Give yourself the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here

Draft – Healing Through Faith

“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.” (Isaiah 53:5)

“Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up.” (James 5:14-15)

Healing is a profound theme in the Bible, encompassing both physical ailments and spiritual burdens. Jesus’ ministry was marked by His healing of the sick, the blind, and the afflicted. He not only restored physical health but also offered forgiveness and peace to the soul.

Consider the areas in your life that need healing. It might be a physical condition, emotional pain, or spiritual distress. God invites us to lay our burdens at His feet, trusting in His perfect plan for restoration.

Take a moment to be still in God’s presence. Visualize the healing touch of Jesus enveloping you. Reflect on His promises and the peace that comes from knowing He cares for you deeply.

 

Sample Prayer for Healing:

Lord, I lift up my needs to You. Heal my body, soothe my spirit, and restore my heart. Help me to trust in Your goodness and to feel Your presence in my life. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)

 

 

November 17th 2024 – Open Our Eyes to Truth

“Jesus said, ‘For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.’ Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, ‘What? Are we blind too?’ Jesus said, ‘If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.” (John 9:39-41)

Spiritual blindness is a profound condition that many individuals experience, often without being aware of its presence. It signifies an inability to grasp essential spiritual truths and to recognize the active work of God in our lives. In the passage from the Gospel of John, Jesus addresses the Pharisees, who were self-assured in their understanding of the Scriptures yet remained oblivious to their spiritual shortcomings. Their extensive knowledge did not equate to a genuine comprehension of God’s heart and intentions.

When we become overly confident in our ability to see and understand, we risk falling into complacency, relying solely on our own insights and experiences rather than earnestly seeking God’s guidance. This arrogance can lead to a form of spiritual blindness, where we fail to perceive the richness of God’s grace and the depths of His mercy.

The challenge lies in acknowledging that spiritual insight does not come from human wisdom alone; it is a gift from God. The more we claim to possess clarity, the more we must examine whether we are truly in touch with divine truth or merely living in the shadows of our presumption.

Take a few moments of quiet reflection, inviting God to reveal to you any areas of your life where you may be experiencing spiritual blindness. Consider how you can actively seek His wisdom and guidance in your journey, fostering an openness to the transformative truths He wishes to unveil.

“When we rely on our own wisdom, we risk pride and spiritual blindness, missing the depth of God’s grace and mercy.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You seeking illumination for my soul. Open my eyes to the areas of my life where I may be spiritually blind. Grant me the discernment to recognize the powerful truths embedded in Your Word, and help me to sense Your presence in every aspect of my daily life. Instill in me a humble heart that acknowledges my need for Your wisdom, and the grace to pursue a deeper understanding of Your ways. May I never reach a point of self-assuredness that blinds me to the beautiful revelations You desire to share with me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, Give yourself the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life.

November 16th 2024 – Our Call To Share The Gospel

“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.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

The act of sharing the Gospel is not merely a suggestion but a profound command issued by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. As believers, we are entrusted with the sacred responsibility of being His representatives on earth, tasked with the mission of proclaiming the joyful news of salvation to everyone we meet. This divine calling may sometimes feel overwhelming, yet we find comfort in the assurance that we are never alone in this endeavor. Jesus promises His continuous presence and support, equipping us through the Holy Spirit to convey His love and truth effectively.

Take a moment to reflect on the individuals who cross your path daily—friends, family members, coworkers, or even acquaintances you encounter. Each interaction presents a unique opportunity to demonstrate Christ’s love and grace.

In the coming week, dedicate time to pray specifically for opportunities to share your faith with someone significant in your life. This may involve inviting them to join you at church, sharing your personal testimony of how Christ has impacted your life, or engaging them in a heartfelt conversation about what Jesus means to you. Remember, each small gesture of sharing can lead to profound changes in the hearts of those around you, potentially guiding them toward a deeper relationship with Christ.

Sharing the Gospel does not always require some type of formal setting or a sermon; often, it unfolds in the context of genuine conversations, small acts of kindness, and the authentic expression of our faith in everyday life.”

Prayer: 

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the immeasurable gift of the Gospel, which transforms lives and brings hope. I ask for Your guidance as I seek to be a bold and loving messenger of this good news. Grant me the wisdom to articulate my faith and the courage to step beyond my comfort zone. May my actions and words reflect Your love, drawing others closer to Your heart. In jesus’ holy name, Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, Give yourself the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life.

November 15th 2024- Finding Hope in Grief

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)

Grief is a deeply personal journey, one that can feel overwhelming and isolating. When we lose someone we love, it’s natural to experience a range of emotions – sadness, anger, confusion, and even relief. In these moments, it’s essential to remember that God is near to us, especially when our hearts are broken.

Jesus Himself experienced grief, as seen in John 11:35, where He wept at the death of His friend Lazarus. It’s a powerful reminder that grief is not a sign of weakness but a testament to the love we shared with those we’ve lost.

Action Steps:

1. Acknowledge Your Feelings:

Take time to be honest with yourself about your emotions. Write them down in a journal or express them through prayer.

2. Reach Out:

Don’t hesitate to talk to friends, family, or a spiritual leader. Sharing your feelings can lighten the burden and bring support.

 3. Create a Memory Ritual:

Consider creating a special ritual to honor your loved one. This could be lighting a candle, planting a tree, or simply spending time reflecting on the happy memories you shared.

 4. Seek Comfort in Scripture:

Spend time reading passages that speak to God’s love and comfort. Psalms and the Gospels are filled with encouragement for those who mourn.

 5. Be Patient with Yourself:

Grief doesn’t have a timeline. Allow yourself the grace to heal at your own pace.

 As you walk through your grief, remember that God is your refuge. He understands your pain and is there to carry you through the darkest days. Trust in His promise that one day, all tears will be wiped away, and we will be reunited with our loved ones in His eternal presence.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, in my sorrow, I turn to You for comfort and healing. Help me to navigate this painful time with Your grace. Remind me that it’s okay to grieve and that I am not alone in my suffering. May Your presence bring me peace, and may I find hope in the promise of eternal life through Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

November 14th 2024 – The Abundant Gift of Grace

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

In our everyday journey, many of us find ourselves in a relentless pursuit of perfection, often believing that our value hinges on our accomplishments or the validation we receive from those around us. However, the profound essence of the Christian message lies in the truth that our salvation is not contingent upon our deeds. Instead, it is an extraordinary gift of grace bestowed upon us by God, entirely unearned and freely offered to everyone who earnestly seeks Him.

Consider a heartfelt scenario: a parent observing their child grappling with a challenging task. Despite the child’s diligent efforts, they may struggle to achieve their goal. In such moments, the parent’s heart swells with empathy and love. They do not want their child to feel a sense of inadequacy; rather, they long for their child to understand that their worth is not defined by success or failure. This is analogous to how God perceives each of us—He delights in our existence, not based on our achievements but simply because we are His beloved children.

“Embrace the liberating knowledge that you are wholly sufficient just as you are, without the need for validation from the world.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the magnificent gift of grace that You have so generously provided. Help me to grasp the profound reality that I am cherished not for my accomplishments, but for who I am in Your eyes. Guide me to extend this same grace to those around me, enabling me to see them through Your compassionate lens and to love them deeply and without reservation. May I find solace in Your presence and draw strength from Your boundless love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have you ever asked Jesus into your life? Would you like to have a personal relationship with Him? That is the ultimate decision you will have to make. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves you and wants to help you. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior please click here 4 Simple Steps to Jesus Your life will never be the same…

November 13th 2024 – Embracing the Light of Christ

“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'” (John 8:12)

In a world frequently shrouded in uncertainty, turmoil, and shadows, the assurance that Jesus is the Light of the World offers us a profound sense of hope and direction. His radiant light serves as a guiding beacon, helping us navigate the complexities and challenges of life. When we choose to follow Him, we not only accept His guidance but also invite His transformative presence into our hearts, renewing our spirits and illuminating our minds.

Think back to moments in your life when you felt adrift or burdened by the weight of your circumstances. How did seeking solace in Jesus alter your view of those challenges? His divine light does more than merely dispel the darkness; it equips us with the strength to shine brightly for others. As we reflect His love and grace, we become sources of hope and encouragement for our families, friends, and communities.

“His light illuminates our path, guiding us through life’s uncertainties. When we choose to follow Him, we invite His presence into our lives, transforming our hearts and minds.”

Prayer:

Heavenly father, we thank You for being our unwavering light, guiding us through the fog of uncertainty. Help us to walk confidently in Your illumination and to share that light with those around us. May our lives radiate Your love and hope, shining brightly in a world that is often desperate for bFather, Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, Give yourself the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here

November 12th 2024 – Finding Hope In The Silence

“God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.” (Psalm 69:6)

As parents, the silence from adult children can feel deafening. The absence of calls and the distance in relationships can leave a profound sense of loneliness and despair. It’s easy to feel like you are just occupying space, longing for a connection that seems out of reach. In these moments, it’s important to remember that you are not alone. Jesus understands your pain and is present even in the silence.

Jesus offers us comfort in our loneliness. He reminds us that our worth is not defined by the actions of others but by His unconditional love. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites us, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This promise is for you. When feelings of abandonment creep in, take those burdens to Him.

When we feel we like we no longer matter to our children. Let us remember that God is always at work, even when we cannot see it. Trust that He is weaving a tapestry of healing and restoration in our families. Keep the faith, for Jesus is our hope and our refuge.

“Jesus invites us to find rest in Him, offering comfort amid loneliness. In prayer, we can bring our feelings of abandonment to God, trusting His presence and plan for our families.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come to You with a heavy heart. The silence from my children weighs on me, and I often feel forgotten. Help me to lean on Your presence and to find comfort in Your love. Fill the void in my heart with Your peace and remind me that I am not alone. Teach me to trust in Your plans for my family, even when they make time to call back or visit. In Jesus’ name Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, Give yourself the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here
