GIVE LIFE TO YOUR FAITH!

7-9-2013. . . .GIVE LIFE TO YOUR FAITH!

"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."  (James 2:26 KJV)  Step out from your comfort zone and give life to your faith!  Nothing ever failed but a try; however, only a try has the best opportunity to succeed!

PRAYER: Lord, honor our faith with success in every area we pursue that brings glory and advances your kingdom!  Amen.

 Isa 3:10. . . . Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.  NIV 

DO SOMETHING!

7-8-2013. . . .DO SOMETHING!

"And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." (Ps 1:3 KJV)  Nothing from nothing leaves nothing!  Nothing plus nothing equals nothing!  Even if we multiply, divide, or put it into an equation, the answer still results in nothing!  God is committed to blessing our "DOING!"  The question is, what are we "DOING" that God can and will bless!  Want to be blessed?  Get busy and do something!

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for blessing the work our hands.  We shall not get weary in our well-doing because we know you will never get weary in your blessing!  Amen

Gal 6:9. . . . And let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't get discouraged and give up. TLB

LET FREEDOM RING!

7-5-2013. . . .LET FREEDOM RING!   (repost)

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. (Gal 5:1-2 NKJV)  My country tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died! Land of the Pilgrim's pride! From every mountain side, Let freedom ring! We are blessed beyond measure to live in the United States of America. We should never take for granted the freedom we enjoy. Much blood was shed and many gave their lives to secure liberty and justice for all. As we celebrate and commemorate Independence Day, for our country, let us also use this occasion as a reminder of the freedom we enjoy in Jesus! His blood was shed and His life was given to secure our freedom as well. This freedom is an eternal freedom that carries with it the responsibility of maintaining it.   Enjoy your freedom and surrender it to nothing or no one! 

Prayer: Lord, thank you for the freedom I enjoy being an American, and more so the freedom you have provided me through your Son, Jesus Christ! Amen.

John 8:36. . . .If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. KJV

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

7-4-2013. . . .HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! 

"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."  (John 8:36 KJV)  The United States of America is the greatest nation in the world.  While freedom is available to all within her borders, so many yet remain bound to an unseen slave master; physically free, but spiritually bound.  The U.S. Constitution and it's Bill of Rights are powerless to set men free from the bonds of sin.  Only the Son can do that if we let Him!   HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for freedom through your Son, Jesus the Christ!  Our prayer today is that all men would be set free by He alone who is able to keep us from falling.  Amen!

2 Cor 5:17. . . . Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. KJV

ONLY THE MINDLESS!

7-3-2013. . . .ONLY THE MINDLESS!

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. ( Gal 5:1 KJV)  Being made free by Christ is a privilege and blessing.  Staying free is a choice!  Who willing submits themselves to bondage of any kind?  Only the mindless.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for freedom!  Help us Lord to always be mindful of our freedom and choose to stand firm in it!  Amen.

 Rom 6:16-17. . . . Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey-whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?  NIV

THE COMPLETE PACKAGE!

7-2-2013. . . .THE COMPLETE PACKAGE! 

"And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;  And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.  For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." (2 Peter 1:5-8 KJV)  The Christian life is a life of change; ever evolving toward perfection!  God remains committed to doing His part and we must give all diligence to doing our part in becoming the complete package!

PRAYER:  Lord, we give you our lives!  Perfect us daily so that we become the complete package in you!  Amen.

Heb 13:20. . . . And now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he who became the great Shepherd of the sheep by an everlasting agreement between God and you, signed with his blood, produce in you through the power of Christ all that is pleasing to him. To him be glory forever and ever. Amen.  TLB

WALK AND WAIT!

7-1-2013. . . .WALK AND WAIT!

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."  (Isa 40:31 KJV)  It is said that patience is a virtue, but it should also be our way a life!  Walking confidently with the Lord enables us to wait patiently upon the Lord!

PRAYER: Lord, we wait and walk patiently with you and upon you!  Help us to never faint!  Amen.

Ps 40:1. . . .I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. KJV
