DROP YOUR PREJUDICE!

10-11-2010. . . .DROP YOUR PREJUDICE!

There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.  (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)  Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.  Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. ( John 4:7-10 KJV)  Racial prejudice is never a good reason to restrict interaction with someone of a different culture or ethnicity.   They may be the very person sent across your path to bring complete and total transformation to your life.  DROP YOUR PREJUDICE!

Prayer: Lord, the earth is yours in all it's fullness; the world and they that dwell therein.  Help us to be accepting of everyone no matter their differences.  Amen.

Heb 13:1-2. . . Continue to love each other with true brotherly love.  Don't forget to be kind to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!  TLB

THE CLOCK IS TICKING!

1--8-2010. . . .THE CLOCK IS TICKING!

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  (2 Peter 3:8 KJV)  While we may choose to be oblivious to it, God's clock of end times events is ticking!  The signs are occurring in every arena of life.  Families, Finances, Fellowships no area is nor shall be untouched.  Redeem the time for the days are evil!   Remember, the clock is ticking!   Don't wait until time is up before straightening up!

Prayer: Lord, you are in control and our times are in your hands.  Help us see the signs of the times and live in expectation of your divine will coming to pass!  Amen.


Acts 2:17-20. . . . And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:  And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:  And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:   The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: KJV

SO ARE WE!

10-7-2010. . . .SO ARE WE!

First, I want to remind you that in the last days there will come scoffers who will do every wrong they can think of and laugh at the truth.  This will be their line of argument: "So Jesus promised to come back, did he? Then where is he?   He'll never come!   Why, as far back as anyone can remember, everything has remained exactly as it was since the first day of creation."  (2 Peter 3:3-4 TLB)  Incresingly these days, we see and hear stories about people that refute the existance of God and the validity of His word!  They even laugh and scoff at believers; calling us gullible and weak minded.   While their position may be irritating at times, they are entitled to think and feel how they think and feel!   SO ARE WE!  Stand strong in your belief of the truth!

Prayer:  Lord, thank you that we know the real truth.  Strengthen us in these last days to stand firm in our beliefs!  Amen.

2 Peter 3:3-7. . . .First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.  They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."  But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water.  By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.  By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. (NIV)

CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL WISELY!

10-6-2010. . . .CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL WISELY!

"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.  People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,  without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- having a form of godliness but denying its power.   Have nothing to do with them." (2 Tim 3:1-5 NIV)  It is perfectly all right to separate ourselves from certain people.  In fact, it is imperative that we have nothing to do with them! This is not a sanction for believers to place ourselves above anyone, it does however, set a clear standard for association and inter-action.   We can't run with turkeys and also sore with eagles.  They operate on different levels.   In these last days, choose your level wisely!

Prayer: Lord, give us wisdom to choose our level wisely.  Help us to love everybody while being selective about those with whom we associate and interact with.  Amen!

2 Tim 3:1-5. . . .You may as well know this too, Timothy, that in the last days it is going to be very difficult to be a Christian.   For people will love only themselves and their money; they will be proud and boastful, sneering at God, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful to them, and thoroughly bad.  They will be hardheaded and never give in to others; they will be constant liars and troublemakers and will think nothing of immorality. They will be rough and cruel, and sneer at those who try to be good.  They will betray their friends; they will be hotheaded, puffed up with pride, and prefer good times to worshiping God.   They will go to church, yes, but they won't really believe anything they hear. Don't be taken in by people like that. TLB

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!

10-5-2010. . . .EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams."  (Acts 2:17 NKJV) Although, we are living in the last days, we are also living in the greatest of days!  We are living in the days where the greatest manifestation of God's anointing will be experienced like never before.  Visions, dreams, prophesies and more!  Expect the unexpected!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for blessing us to live in these last days.  Pour out your Spirit upon us like never before.  We are empty vessels before a full fountain.  Amen.

Acts 2:17-20. . . . And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams:  Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.   And I will show wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke:  The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable (day).

DIRECT CONNECT!

10-4-2010. . . .DIRECT CONNECT!

"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds...."( Heb 1:1-2 KJV)   The Last Days are those left until the return of Christ!  As we live out our alotted time during these last days, it is of great assurance to know that God, through Jesus His Son, is speaking to us directly!  No intermedeary required.  We have a Direct Connect!

Prayer: Lord, we need your guidance in these last days.  Thank you for our direct connection.  Speak to us Lord, we need to hear from you.  Amen.

Heb 1:2. . . .But now in these days he has spoken to us through his Son to whom he has given everything and through whom he made the world and everything there is. TLB

SOMEONE IS LISTENING!

10-1-2010. . . .SOMEONE IS LISTENING!

Listen to me! For I have important information for you. Everything I say is right and true, for I hate lies and every kind of deception.  My advice is wholesome and good. There is nothing of evil in it. (Prov 8:4-8 TLB)  When your mouth opens, is what comes out of it important enough for someone to listen to?   Do your words have a reputation and track record of truthfulness or of lies and deception.  Watch what you say....someone is listening!

Prayer: Lord, guard the words of my mouth that my lips may speak only wholesome and good things worthy to be listened to.  Amen!

Job 27:3-4. . . .All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;  My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.  KJV
