August 18th 2025 – Fruit of the Spirit – Part 6 of 9

We are on the 6th day of a 9-day journey to learn about all of the Fruit of the Spirit – the gifts of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control that come from God

Goodness – “Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power” (2 Thessalonians 1:11). “For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth” (Ephesians 5:9 ).

According to the Bible, badness comes naturally. “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.” (Romans 8:7) Goodness does not. But God has a wondrous plan to radically transform our character!

Though our natural inclination is to defy God in sin, He has determined to help us overcome that nature to live a life of righteousness and goodness. This is possible only through a relationship with Him. As the apostle John explained, “He who does good [as a way of life] is of God, but he who does evil [as a way of life] has not seen God [i.e., has not come to really know Him]” (3 John 1:11)

John also explained that those who truly are of God have God living in them through the Holy Spirit: “By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit” (1 John 4:13)

The Paul explained to believers that God’s perfect, loving character is “poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us” (Romans 5:5)

People speak of a life of comfort and affluence as “the good life.” But living a life close to God with all the great benefits He offers is the truly good life! Allow God to cultivate in you the good fruit of goodness. And that will lead to the gift of eternal life! That’s as good as it gets! 

You can receive the gift of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. Below is a link with a very special prayer that will help guide you into Jesus’s loving arms.  I personally could not imangine a life without Jesus. He truly has saved my life.

“God knows how much we love Him by how much we are showing self-sacrificing love for other people.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for ALL that You have given me. Thank You for my friends and Family. I am grateful for Your love, Your mercy and the gift of eternal life through Jesus. Thank You for the blessings of life. Teach me to have a thankful heart and to share this gratefulness with others. Continue to guide me and teach me to develop these spiritual fruits in my life that I can be more like You Lord. Help me exhibit Goodness in all that I do. Protect me from the enemy and his evil schemes. I love You and am so greatful that You are in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

July 28th 2025 – The Power of God’s Grace

“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.” (2 Peter 1:2-3)

Knowledge is a remarkable gift. It empowers us to build towering structures, create innovative machines, and even find cures for diseases. Through knowledge, we gain insights into the universe around us. However, knowledge can yield both positive and negative results, depending on how we apply it. Yet there is one kind of knowledge that stands above the rest—a knowledge that, when embraced, grants us eternal life. This is the knowledge found in the Gospel.

Throughout history, many scholars have studied the Bible, grasping the words on the page. Yet, only a few have truly experienced the transformative power of those words. The Gospel is not merely a narrative; it is the very power of God that leads to our salvation.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8)

The truth of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection offers us a pathway to a relationship with God. What we choose to do with this truth can either bring us closer to Him or lead us away. God’s powerful, life-changing grace is woven throughout the Scriptures, inviting us to trust in it. When we do, we begin to experience the profound grace that is so often celebrated in song. This grace brings peace to our souls and hope for our future. Have you embraced that grace?

“Only God could reach so low and lift us so high.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the incredible gift of grace that You freely offer to us. I come before You with a humble heart, asking for Your forgiveness for my sins. Cleanse me and make me new, Lord. I believe in the work that Jesus accomplished for me through His life, death, and resurrection. I trust in Him for my salvation and invite Your Holy Spirit to fill me. Strengthen me to live a life that honors You and reflects Your love to others. Guide my steps and help me to share Your message of hope and grace with those around me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

In order to experience the power of Christ, we must first trust Him. If you are seeking Jesus in your life or want to recommit your life to Him. Click here to learn more.

July 20th 2025 – Testimony of Life

“And when Baal-Hanan died, Hadad reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pai. His wife’s name was Mehetabel the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. Hadad died also. And the chiefs of Edom were Chief Timnah, Chief Aliah, Chief Jetheth, Chief Aholibamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon, Chief Kenaz, Chief Teman, Chief Mibzar, Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom.” (1 Chronicles 1:50-54)

Remembering where you came from and where you are going makes up your individual, one-of-a-kind testimony. There is power in the testimony of your life. Revelation 12 talks about believers overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. So, what if your past does not include the seedier things of life? Well, the Bible is clear that we we were all on a death row sentence. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Through His grace and the faith-gift of God, He saves us. Once saved you are a child of God – a priest and a king. There are two people in the Bible who are called both a priest and king – Jesus and you. Now, you are saved and will spend eternity with God.

In a world that is wracked with fear and uncertainty, people need to hear your testimony. Share it and talk about it. Share not in a prideful or bragging way, but out of the joy of your heart. Your testimony could be the very thing that leads someone else to come to Jesus. It might be what they have been waiting for.

“Remember where you came from, who you are and where you are going.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We love You and Praise You in all circumstances. Thank You for the gift of Your Son. I am so grateful for the grace and mercy You have given me. Lord, I want to be a vessel used to glorify Your name. Give me the boldness to share my testimony without fear and uncertainty. Give me the spirit of humility so that I may be used to minister in the lives of others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Don’t go through life without Jesus. If you do not know Him personally, accept 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 4 Simple Steps to Jesus

June 30th 2025 – The Mighty Anvil

“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.” (2 Corinthians 1:20)

It has been said that the Bible is an anvil that has worn out many a skeptic’s hammer. This powerful imagery reminds us that the truths contained in Scripture are unwavering and eternal. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the profound implications of this reality.

The unchanging nature of God’s Word signifies that our sins can be forgiven:
“In Jesus Christ we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)

It means we can become children of God:
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” (John 1:12)

It means we can look forward to a glorious eternity:
“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2)

These promises are the foundation of our faith and the source of our hope. For those who know Jesus as Savior, His Word assures us of love, joy, and peace that transcends our circumstances. In a world filled with uncertainty, doubt, and conflicting messages, we must anchor ourselves in the timeless truths of Scripture. The Bible has endured the test of time, proving itself reliable and steadfast. When we trust in its promises, we find rest for our souls.

“Jesus and the Bible are both completely reliable and trustworthy.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come before You in gratitude for the countless promises found in Your Word. Thank You for the assurance that I am forgiven, that I am Your child, and that my future is secure in You. Help me to internalize these truths, allowing them to transform my heart and mind.

In a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, I ask that You protect me from fears and doubts that can cloud my judgment. Grant me the courage to stand firm on Your Word and to share its hope and truth with those around me. Empower me to be a light in the darkness, reflecting Your love and grace to others who may be struggling.

Lord, as I navigate the challenges of today, remind me that Your promises are my anchor. May my faith not waver, but instead grow stronger as I lean on You. Fill me with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and help me trust that You are working all things together for my good. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

June 4th 2025 – Sin Kills

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

“For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)

Sin—such a small word, yet it carries immense consequences. Reflect on the turmoil in your own life stemmed from sin, and consider the broader issues in the world caused by the sins of others—wars, violence, theft, apathy, and jealousy. The list is endless. There’s a saying, “Sin is the seed, and death is the harvest.” The Bible speaks extensively about sin, revealing that it encompasses not only our wrongdoings but also our failures to act with love, generosity, and kindness.

If we were perfect, never committing wrong and always doing right, sin would not be a concern for us. “Wow, that really helps!” some might think. However, the reality is that we are all sinners…

Yet, the Bible provides guidance on how to manage our past sins as well as those we confront in the present and future. It’s simpler than you might imagine. Wondering about “past sins”? The answer is clear: seek forgiveness.

“But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that His word has no place in our hearts.” (1 John 1:9-10)

What about our current struggles with sin? Hebrews encourages us to “strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up,” and to “run with endurance the race God has set before us.” (Hebrews 12:1-2)

We achieve this by focusing on Jesus, our guide and perfecter of faith. Here’s an empowering truth to hold onto, even on April Fool’s Day: Don’t tell God you have a big sin problem; instead, remind your sin problem that you have a Big God. Focus on life, reflect on Jesus, and keep your eyes fixed on Him.

“While our missteps lead us to darkness, the true light shines in the gift of grace, offering us the promise of everlasting life through love and redemption.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for bearing my sins. I acknowledge the wrongs I have done and the good I have neglected. I confess my sins to You and ask for Your forgiveness. (Take a moment to confess your sins, both in action and in spirit.) Thank You, Lord, for assisting me with my past and present sins. Help me to focus not on my shortcomings but on my Savior, Jesus. Empower me to rise above the burdens of sin and to live the life You have destined for me. I am grateful for Your divine strategy in addressing my sin. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

May 25th 2025 – Living Words

Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You alone have the words that give eternal life.” (John 6:68)

Words hold incredible power. They can be lengthy and complex, or they can be simple and profound. Some lift our spirits, while others may bring us down. Remarkably, we often find the most uplifting words from the most unexpected sources. The Lord has a way of using anyone, at any moment, to reach our hearts, no matter where we find ourselves.

It’s truly remarkable that the source of these transformative words is the Holy Word that grants eternal life—Jesus Himself. Throughout history, many wise individuals have offered insightful thoughts, but none have spoken with the authority and depth of understanding that Jesus brings. He alone reveals the path to eternal life, which is why we gather here, eager to absorb His teachings. Like Peter, we affirm that You alone possess the words that give eternal life. Your words are alive!

“We should immerse ourselves in the words of Jesus every day.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of eternal life found in Your words. They are indeed the only words that truly sustain and nourish us. Open my ears to hear Your guidance and give me feet that swiftly follow Your path. Help me navigate around any obstacles that may hinder my relationship with You. Grant me clarity to discern between tolerance and conviction. Guard me against compromise and empower me to choose the narrow path. Search my heart and lead me in Your everlasting way. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

March 23rd 2025 – Safe and Secure with Jesus


“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)

I want you to fully understand the safety and security you have in God’s presence. If you have invited Jesus into your life, you are on the path to heaven, and nothing can hinder you from reaching that glorious destination. When you leave this life, you will have the incredible joy of seeing Him face to face, a joy that surpasses all earthly experiences. Even now, you are never separated from Him, even if you must see Him through the eyes of faith. He will walk with you until the end of time and beyond into eternity.

There may be moments when we don’t always feel His presence. Here are just a few of God’s promises to remind you:

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)

“The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (Deuteronomy 31:8)

“No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Joshua 1:5)

“May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may He never leave us nor forsake us.” (1 Kings 8:57)

“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’” (Hebrews 13:5)

While we may choose to turn away from God, He will never abandon us. Regardless of how bleak a situation may seem or how empty you might feel, remember that God is always with you! His promises are unwavering, and His word stands above all else. We can move forward with confidence, knowing He goes before us. And if God is for us, who can stand against us?

When you forget His presence, you may experience feelings of loneliness or fear. It is through the awareness of His presence that peace can replace negative emotions. Make it a practice to walk consciously with Jesus each day.

“God’s promise: Safe and Secure in His Presence”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for walking with me and providing peace. I surrender each day to You, asking that You use me to help others come to know You. Continue to shape me into the person You have destined me to be. I love You, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

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 Click here

January 3rd 2025 – Focus On The Things Above

“The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.” (John 11:44)

Symbolically, Lazarus is like many Christians. The Bible speaks of us passing from death unto new life when we are born again. However, it is also true that in the physical and emotional realm, we bring our “grave clothes” from our old life with us (i.e., habits, attitudes, depression, etc.), and we need to be “loosed” to fully enjoy our life as Christians.

Our emotions and attitudes follow what we think. When we focus our attention on our problems, they are magnified out of proportion. When we neglect our problems and think on God’s provision, the answer is magnified, and the problem shrinks. Whatever we think upon will dominate us. If we think on depressing things, we’ll be depressed. If we think on uplifting things, we’ll be uplifted. If we think, “By His stripes, we are healed,” we’ll be healed. If we think on sickness, we’ll be sick.

Godly contentment isn’t dependent upon circumstances. That is totally the opposite of the way most people think today. No one really desires depression, but very few feel any responsibility or authority to maintain positive emotions in the face of negative circumstances. They think emotions follow circumstances. That’s not true. Emotions follow the way we think, and we can choose to think on things that are lovely, true, of good report, and so forth, regardless of our circumstances. As we think, so we respond emotionally.

Focus your attention on the invisible truths of the spiritual realm that are eternal, instead of the visible things of this physical world that will pass away.

“We all have a measure of faith. What we choose to put our faith in will ultimately guide our decision-making, our perspective, and the course of action for our lives.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the love You have shown me through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Help me to hold firm to this Truth so that my faith will continue to grow. Fill me with Your Spirit daily so that I will stop hearing the lies from the enemy. Protect me and help teach me that I can have real hope. Encourage me to focus on Your written word when You feel distant in my life. Also, help me share with anyone who needs to hear the Gospel message. In Jesus’ name, 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 life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have 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).

November 21th 2024 – God’s Provision

“Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.” (Matthew 6:32-33)

God promises to meet all our financial needs if we sincerely ask Him for help, learn how to be content, practice giving in faith, maintain our integrity, and trust Him with our lives.

Worry is honestly just a form of not believing in God. Every time you worry, you’re acting like an atheist. You’re saying, “It all depends on me.” That’s not what the Bible says.

Worry is a warning light that indicates doubt in the love of God. Yet, the Bible says God “provides food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.” (Psalm 111:5)

The book of Romans tells us that God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross to pay for our salvation. If God loves us enough to send His own Son to die for us, don’t you think He loves us enough to take care of our bills?

Moreover, He solved our biggest problem when He saved us. The bottom line is really this: Am I going to believe that God will do what He says He will do — that He will provide for me?

Plain and simple, God wants us to trust in His provision for our needs, and sometimes that provision requires us to step out in faith and use the resources He has given us. It may not seem like a lot to us, but God can multiply our efforts when we trust Him.

“Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received His message from us, you didn’t think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God — which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.” (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

“God Wants Us to Trust Him”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I ask that You increase within me Your obedient spirit so that I may follow Your instruction. Help me, Lord, to walk by faith and not by sight. I don’t always understand what You’re doing in my life, but I choose to trust You. I ask in true faith that You will provide for my needs. Place within me joy, peace, and rest to endure all that comes my way. Right now, I make the decision to trust You, Lord, because I know that You’re in control of my life, even when it seems to be out of control. Lord, I thank You for clarity, guidance, provision, and strength. I pray and ask for these things in Jesus’ name, Amen.

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 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. 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
