July 22nd 2023 – God’s Faithful Promise of Abundant Blessings

Deuteronomy 7:15 – “The Lord will remove from you all sickness, and he will not inflict on you any of the harmful diseases of Egypt that you have known, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.” –

In this verse, God reveals His compassionate nature and His desire to bless His children abundantly. The Israelites were about to enter the Promised Land, and God, through Moses, was reminding them of His faithfulness. He assured them that He would remove all sickness and protect them from the harmful diseases they had witnessed during their time in Egypt.

This promise holds great significance for us as believers today. Just as God delivered the Israelites from the bondage of slavery, He has delivered us from the power of sin through His Son, Jesus Christ. We have been set free to live a life of abundant blessings, both spiritual and physical.

God’s promise to remove all sickness from His people reveals His heart of compassion and the depth of His love. He longs for us to experience wholeness and well-being, knowing that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). While we may still face physical challenges in this fallen world, we can trust that God is our ultimate healer. He has the power to bring restoration, healing, and complete well-being into our lives.

Moreover, this verse serves as a reminder that God is our protector. He shields us from the harmful afflictions that may seek to harm us. It is important to understand that this does not mean we will never face difficulties or opposition in life. However, we can be assured that God will be with us every step of the way, shielding us from the full impact of the trials we encounter.

As we meditate on this promise, let us also remember that God’s blessings are not solely for our benefit. This verse also highlights that those who hate God’s people will experience the very afflictions that God promises to spare His children. It reveals God’s justice and His unwavering commitment to His people.

In conclusion, let us hold onto the truth embedded in Deuteronomy 7:15. Our loving God desires to bless us abundantly, bringing healing and protection into our lives. He longs to see us flourish in every aspect of our existence, both spiritually and physically. Let us trust in His faithfulness and remain steadfast in our devotion to Him. May we draw closer to God each day, knowing that He is our healer, protector, and the source of all blessings.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

We come before You today with hearts overflowing with gratitude and awe for Your unwavering love and faithfulness. We thank You for the promise You have given us in Deuteronomy 7:15, assuring us of Your divine protection and healing.

Lord, we acknowledge that You are the Great Physician, the One who holds all power and authority over sickness and disease. We humbly ask that You fulfill Your promise to remove all sickness from our lives. We pray for those who are currently battling illnesses, physical ailments, or any form of affliction. May Your healing touch be upon them, bringing restoration and wholeness to their bodies.

Father, we lift up those who may be facing challenges, feeling overwhelmed by physical and emotional pain. Grant them strength and courage to endure, knowing that You are with them every step of the way. Surround them with Your comforting presence and pour out Your divine healing upon them.

Lord, we also pray for protection. Shield us from harmful diseases and afflictions that may seek to harm us. We trust in Your unfailing love and unwavering care. May Your divine hedge of protection surround us, our families, and our loved ones.

Help us to remember that Your blessings are not just for our benefit but also for the transformation of the world around us. As we experience Your healing and protection, empower us to be witnesses of Your love and compassion. Guide us to extend a helping hand to those in need, offering comfort, support, and prayers.

Lord, we surrender our lives into Your hands, trusting in Your perfect plan for us. Strengthen our faith and deepen our relationship with You. Help us to walk in obedience to Your Word, knowing that Your promises are true and unchanging.

We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for being our ever-present help in times of trouble. May Your name be glorified in every aspect of our lives. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

July 20th 2023 – Setting Aside Childish Ways

Leave a reply

As Christians, we are called to grow in faith and maturity, leaving behind the things of our past that hinder our spiritual progress. Just as a child must put away childish behaviors and thoughts to become a mature adult, so too must we set aside the childish things of our spiritual journey.

1 Corinthians 13:11 – “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.”

Childishness can manifest in various ways in our lives. It can include immaturity, selfishness, and a lack of understanding or discernment. These things hinder our growth in Christ and prevent us from experiencing the fullness of His blessings and purpose for our lives.

When we talk like a child, we may use our words to tear down others, gossip, or speak unkindly. However, as we grow in Christ, our speech should be filled with grace, encouragement, and truth. We should strive to build others up, speaking life into their situations, and glorifying God with our words.

When we think like a child, we may focus on our own desires and seek instant gratification. But as mature believers, we should seek God’s wisdom and align our thoughts with His truth. We should prioritize His will and consider the needs of others, putting aside selfish ambitions for the sake of serving and loving others.

When we reason like a child, we may lack discernment and make decisions based on our emotions or worldly perspectives. However, as we mature in our faith, we should seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and allow God’s Word to shape our thinking. We should strive for wisdom and discernment, making choices that align with God’s truth and bring glory to Him.

Setting aside childish things requires intentional effort and a humble heart. It means surrendering our own desires and seeking God’s will in every aspect of our lives. It means growing in our understanding of God’s Word and allowing it to transform our thoughts, words, and actions.

Let us commit ourselves to the process of maturity in Christ, seeking His guidance and relying on His strength. As we set aside childish behaviors and thoughts, we will experience the freedom and joy that come from walking in alignment with God’s purposes for our lives.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I humbly come before you today, asking for your guidance and strength as I seek to grow in spiritual maturity. Lord, I recognize that there are areas in my life where I still cling to childish behaviors, thoughts, and attitudes. I ask for your forgiveness for any immaturity, selfishness, or lack of discernment that has hindered my growth in you.

Father, I surrender these childish things to you and ask that you replace them with your wisdom, grace, and understanding. Help me to speak words that build others up, encourage, and reflect your love. Remove any harshness, gossip, or negativity from my speech, and fill my mouth with words that bring life and honor to you.

Lord, I also ask for a transformation in my thought life. Give me the ability to think like you, to align my thoughts with your truth, and to focus on your will and purposes. Help me to put aside selfish ambitions and instead prioritize serving and loving others. Grant me discernment and clarity of mind, that I may make choices that reflect your wisdom and bring glory to your name.

Father, I know that this process of maturity requires your grace, patience, and guidance. I pray that you would continue to mold me into the image of your Son, Jesus Christ. Teach me to rely on the Holy Spirit for strength and guidance, allowing Him to lead me in all areas of my life.

Thank you, Lord, for your unconditional love and for never giving up on me. I trust in your faithfulness and power to transform me into a mature believer. May my life be a reflection of your grace and may others be drawn closer to you through my growth and maturity. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

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.

January 28th 2020 – Jesus Already Paid The Debt

Leave a reply

“It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualification comes from God. He has enabled us to be ministers of his new covenant. This is a covenant not of written laws, but of the Spirit. The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life.” (2 Corinthians 3:5-6)

What you put your confidence in tells a lot about you. Do you put confidence in your money? Maybe you are confident in the government or your job. Whatever it may be, the truth is that unless we are confident in God alone, we will continue to struggle. This is especially true in the area of salvation.

As Christians, we can often say, “Yes I trust Jesus alone for my salvation,” but then turn and begin acting like our works dictate God’s love. Let me assure you that God’s love and grace towards you is not based on your ability to please Him, but they are completely based on the work Jesus did on the cross. Remember, we do not work to gain salvation, but we work because we are grateful for salvation. Today, thank God for His grace and then allow that thankfulness to work itself out in love for God and others. I promise that your life will never be the same.

“We should trust God for our salvation and for the results of any ministry we ever attempt.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for the free gift of salvation. I am sorry for those times I begin thinking that I can earn more love or grace from You. Help me to rely more on Your grace and less on myself. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

December 14th 2019 – Christmas Grace

1 Reply

“When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” (Matthew 2:10-11)

Gold, frankincense, and myrrh…these were the first Christmas gifts ever. These three things were precious and valuable. But more precious to God were the three people who fell in worship of Him.

Growning up for me was very lonely, I didnt have any family other then my parents, I didnt have siblings to play with either. My father didn’t enjoy being around people so even having friends over was very scarce.

It wasn’t until I had my own family and children before I started trying to enjoy Christmas. I do have fond memories raising my children with trees, carols, wreaths, lights, feasting and the joy of family and friends gathered together. However I didnt really understand what Christmas was all about. I only understood the secular view…Santa Clause and television shows and commercials teaching children greed and selfish gain.

My parent’s never discussed Jesus when I was a child, mostly because neither of them knew Him themselves. It was not until I endured a life changing tragedy, and only at that time did I come to know Jesus personally.

I do understand Christmas now, its not what the world teaches. Its not all about gifts and trees with lights. Its not even about my desires or wants. Its a celebration of Jesus birth.

God wants us to enjoy this season and He wants to bless us with good things, including His GRACE – God’s – Riches At Christ’s Expense.

Do you know what God desires? His desire is for your heart. Christmas is an opportunity. Not an opportunity for selfish gain, but an opportunity to give God the gift He desires. Maybe you gave your heart to Jesus years ago and have wandered away. Maybe you’ve never given your heart to God at all.

As we celebrate Jesus giving Himself to us, won’t you take the opportunity to give yourself to Jesus?

“You are precious to God.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for loving me so much. Thank You that You would leave heaven to come, suffer and die for me. You are such a precious gift. I have neglected the gift that You gave and I am sorry. Lord, I have been blessed by You. Thank You for Your incredible plan for my salvation. I give all of my life to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

December 6th 2019 – When Situations Seem Bleak

Leave a reply

“Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.” (Acts 12:5)

How can you cultivate hope when life looks bleak?

The book of Acts chapter 12 opens with a challanging scenario “It’s Bleak!” James has been executed, and Peter has been arrested by King Herod. Next, he was going to be killed. But then we read that “constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church” (verse 5). The church took this seriously and began to pray. So God sent an angel to deliver Peter from prison, and the story has a much happy ending.

Feeling like there is no hope is one of the most challenging emotions to manage. After all, why would someone even try when he believes there is no hope, and correspondingly, no possibility for things to improve?

Maybe you are facing a bleak scenario right now. Maybe you have received some bad news from your doctor or are facing a difficult situation at work. Maybe there is a problem in your family. Maybe things have gone from bad to worse, and you don’t know what to do. Pray about it. Get your Christian friends to pray about it with you. Bring the situation before the Lord, because with God, all things are possible. God can take impossible situations and turn them around for His glory.

Trust God!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we call upon You in the middle of this storm, That You give us the strength and will to bear our heavy burdens, until we can again feel the warmth and love of Your divine compassion. Be mindful of us and have mercy on us while we struggle to comprehend life’s hardships that come a storms of life. When fear and panic, shock and dismay are close by, so are you. May we always recconize you , Keep us ever in Your watch until these times of opposition of life pass. Thank you for the Church Body. In Jesus’ precious and glorious name, Amen.

November 11th 2019 – Happy Veterans Day

Leave a reply

You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. (2 Timothy 2:1-7)

In the United States, Veteran’s Day is celebrated on November 11th; many other countries have similar days devoted to the honoring of their soldiers. In this devotion for Veterans Day let’s look at 2 Timothy 2:1-7 to discover the proper attitude for a soldier.

As far back in history we go, when cities and countries were formed, each found it necessary to protect themselves by developing an army of soldiers. The Bible records information about Kings and soldiers in the book of Genesis. The Bible also tells us in 2 Timothy that every Christian is a soldier of Jesus Christ.

God uses the illustration of the soldier to help us how to understand our responsibilities as soldiers in the army of God.

We know that soldiers have suffered and died throughout history to protect their own country. Many times God also calls the Christian soldier to suffer, and sometimes die for his faith. This should not come as a surprise to us. If you take the time to read the book of Psalms, you know that many of the Psalms of David are filled with laments over David’s suffering, especially when the enemies of God were devoted to killing him even when he had done nothing wrong.

When God calls us to suffer, we must cry out to God for help, for He alone can help us. You’ll find that the more you are consistently reading God’s Word and praying to Him, this becomes almost second nature. You will find yourself talking to the Lord throughout the day. I think that is exactly what Paul is referring to when he tells us to pray without ceasing.

What would happen in the midst of battle if each soldier decided to fight the battle the way he thought best. Chaos would soon set in. You would hope to fight against an army such as that because you would be guaranteed to win! The scripture tells us that the soldier seeks to please the one who enlisted him.

As a soldier of Christ, finish the battle! Don’t give up midstream’ don’t go back to the sins of your youth. Rather just as the athlete is not crowned until he competes according to the rules and finishes the race.

I pray that you will be a faithful soldier of Jesus Christ so that you too, will receive the Crown of Life at the end of your battle!

This Veterans Day, We salute all of the United States Military Veterans! God Bless you.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank you for all of the people that have risked thier lives and the ones that paid the ultimate price so that we can be live freely in this nation. I also thank You Lord for the ultimate sacrifice that not only many of our veterans made for me, but You made for me…. Please bring healing to our nation Lord God. Also be with our leaders and help reunite and heal our precious country. I pray that a great awaking happens in this country and the people and leaders of people fall to their knees in prayer and proclaim You Lord. That will truly make “America Great Again!” In Your glorious name, Amen.

November 4th 2019 – Blessings and Spiritual Rewards

Leave a reply

“For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel! For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.” (1 Corinthians 9:16-17)

When competing in a competition, Lets face it we love to win. Whether it’s a paycheck on payday, or a trophy at the end of a race. We as all enjoy receiving a reward for our efforts. Did you know that the Bible tells us that we will receive rewards for the good we do here on earth? Salvation is free and comes when we trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of our sins. Once we accept Christ as Savior, the Bible speaks of God rewarding those who served Him while here on earth.

“For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.” (Matthew 16:27)

Imagine our Lord coming in all His glory and with Him rewards that will be given to those who served Him and helped build His Kingdom. Yes, we serve our King because He is worthy of our service. Yes, we show love to others because we love Him. Yet, we also serve Him in great expectation of the rewards He has prepared for us. So the question is, “Will you receive rewards?” Are you serving the Lord and therefore storing up treasures in Heaven? You have all eternity to enjoy your rewards but only a short lifetime to earn them. It’s either rewards or regrets – you get to decide now.

“We should all desire our spiritual rewards….”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You that You have made a way for me to be saved. I praise You for Your grace and mercy. Lord, I also thank You that after all that You have done for me You allow me to earn rewards in Your Kingdom. Father, fill me with Your Spirit and guide me by Your Word in this great time of renewing for our country. I pray that our nation will return back to You and that a great revival will sweep across this land. May our Nation be healed and that we will Shine like a City on the Hill. Give me the wisdom and courage so that I will use every opportunity to share the Gospel and lead even more to you. In Jesus’ Holy name. Amen.

October 26th 2019 – Live an Abundant Life

Leave a reply

“So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?” (Nehemiah 6:3)

Satan never has a good day. He is completely miserable, and he wants to make you miserable too. He will offer you fun, that turns into immense sorrow, laughter that turns into tears and temporary pleasure that turns into a life of pain and possibly into an eternity of pain. God’s word tells us that we must resist. Satan wants to destroy our life and kill us, God desires to give more of life and offers a eternity with Him.

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

In order for us to resist the devil, we must first allow Jesus to change us from the inside out. You can go through the motions and do all the right things, but if you don’t let Jesus change the old ways, you are being deceived and being cheated of beautiful and abundant life. Don’t allow the enemy to gain control. Submit to God and allow His Spirit to help you and direct you in His ways..

“God can bless you, wherever you are.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I know there have been times I have allowed the enemy to pull me away from Your best. Give me eyes to see and ears to hear You more clearly through Your Word, Your Holy Spirit and other believers. I want Your ways, not the enemies ways! In Jesus Name, Amen.

August 29th 2019 – Get Ready for Your Harvest!

Leave a reply

“O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open.” (2 Corinthians 6:11)

In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus shares a parable about our hearts. In the way only Jesus can, He reveals our hearts through the image of a seed and the ground it falls upon. This parable helps us understand the need for our hearts to be open to God’s Word. In one scenario, the Word lands on a rocky heart that is not willing to even consider the Truth of God and because of its hardness, the enemy comes to remove the seed of God’s Word. Another scenario displays a seed that begins to take root but then finds itself wrapped in the weeds of this world, eventually choking out the effect of God’s Word. The good news is that when we come to God with an open heart, the seed of His Word will change our life.

“But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty and some a hundred.” (Mark 4:8)

When we come to God we should have open ears to hear His Word, open hearts that love without offense, open hands willing to give and open eyes to see His goodness. As we allow our hearts to be tilled like soil, the seed of God’s Word can be planted and the result will be beautiful fruit for the Lord! Open your heart to Him today and get ready for the harvest.

“We should have open ears, open hearts, open hands and open eyes.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Forgive me for times when I have hardened my heart to Your Word or have allowed the weeds of this world to rob me of the Truth. Father, I give You my heart and ask that You break up any hardness and prepare it to produce the fruits of the Spirit in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

January 2nd 2019 – Gods Enrichment Plan

Leave a reply

“Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.” (2 Corinthians 9:11)

How is it that we can find enrichment when we give of ourselves? After all, shouldn’t the accumulation of wealth and stuff bring about enrichment in our lives? This may be how the world views growth and enrichment, but in God’s economy, growth comes through giving.

The sad reality is that the more we receive, the more we are likely to be selfish and greedy. When we act according to God’s design, our giving leads us into enriched, generous lives. In essence, our giving helps check those feelings of selfishness and greed. Most people use their blessings to be blessed, the question is, “Are you using your gifts, talents, resources and finances to bless other people?” If not, you are failing the test of being blessed in the first place. If you have failed that test, don’t worry. Instead, begin walking in thankfulness, and God will bring you to a place where you will pass with flying colors. Many times, a generous life begins first with thanksgiving, then obedience, sharing, and generosity. When we begin living generously with our time, energy and finances, God will bless us with more because we have been faithful with little.

“Receiving from God is both a blessing and a test.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for salvation and the countless other blessings I experience on a daily basis. Help me to live a life of generosity and love so that more people may hear Your Word and find new life in Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
