IT WILL HAPPEN!

10-31-2019. . . .IT WILL HAPPEN!




"So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. (Isa 55:11 NIV)

God's word once spoken, proceeds from eternity to it's predestined purpose in time!  Because the word is so quick and powerful (Heb 4:12) occasionally, it arrives in advance of time's readiness to receive it!  It, however, cannot return to God empty; It, therefore, prevails (hovers over) until time (and us) is ready to receive it's manifestation!  If He spoke it, stay encouraged!  IT WILL HAPPEN!

Prayer: Lord, we live not by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from your mouth.  May your proceeding and prevailing word always find manifestation in our life. Amen!

Jer 1:12b. . . . I will hasten my word to perform it. KJV

HOW'S YOUR HEARING!

10-30-2019. . . .HOW'S YOUR HEARING!

"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Rom 10:17 KJV)

How's your hearing?  To answer that question one needs only to check the level of their faith!  Little faith is a result of little or not much WORD!  In scripture, the correlation is clear. (Faith comes by hearing!)  The "Word" then can be viewed as a spiritual "hearing aid" of sorts!  Therefore, increased intake of the Word equals increased hearing resulting in increased faith!   There you have!  Check up complete.

Prayer: Lord, we love your word for by it we hear and our faith is increased.  May your word always be our daily bread! Amen.

Job 23:11-12. . . .My feet have closely followed his steps; I have kept to his way without turning aside. 12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread. (NIV)

A SIMPLE CHOICE, RIGHT!

10-29-2019. . . .A SIMPLE CHOICE, RIGHT!

"Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded." (Prov 13:13 KJV) 

Destruction or reward. . . . .Trouble or success!  To despise the word is to know it and not do it!  Who in their right mind chooses certain destruction?   C'mon now!   It's a simple choice, right?

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your word!  By it shall we live and by it comes our success.  Strengthen us to never deviate.  Amen!

James 1:22-25. . . .And remember, it is a message to obey, not just to listen to. So don't fool yourselves. For if a person just listens and doesn't obey, he is like a man looking at his face in a mirror; as soon as he walks away, he can't see himself anymore or remember what he looks like. But if anyone keeps looking steadily into God's law for free men, he will not only remember it but he will do what it says, and God will greatly bless him in everything he does. TLB

NEEDS AND WANTS SATISFIED THROUGH TRUST!

10-25-2019. . . .NEEDS AND WANTS SATISFIED THROUGH TRUST!

"Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." (Ps 37:3-5KJV) 

The expectation of evildoers and workers of iniquity is a certain abrupt end! Conversely, the expectation of all who trust in the Lord is a blessed assurance of continual stability and sustenance!  In other words, as a result of our trusting the Lord, we can expect God to meet our needs and satisfy our wants!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for supplying our needs and satisfying our wants! No one but an awesome God can do on this! All praise to you always! Amen!

Ps 62:8. . . .Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. KJV

COME ONE COME ALL!

10-24-2019. . . .COME ONE COME ALL!

 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9 KJV) 

No matter who you are or what you've done, God wants YOU!   Just like you are. . . .just how you are. . . .and just where you are.  He will accept you, forgive, and save you!  It's a promise! Though millions have come, there's still room for one...YOU!  Come one....Come All!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for saving us. Thank you for making it possible for everyone to come to repentance and that no one should be lost. May the world accept your invitation today. Amen!

John 10:9-10. . . .I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. KJV

Don’t Misjudge His Kindness!

10-23-2019. . . .Don’t Misjudge His Kindness!

“…Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?” (Rom 2:4-5 NKJV)

All of us can remember a time when we should have received a well-deserved punishment for something, but instead, we were shown kindness!  It's not that we got away with anything, but rather, we were being led to something!  By His goodness, God leads us through our mistakes and misjudgments to the place of repentance! Don’t misjudge His kindness!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your goodness that leads us to true repentance. Help us to always recognize and never misjudge your kindness. Amen!

2 Peter 3:9. . . .The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. NIV

GREATER KNOWLEDGE, GREATER GRACE, GREATER GLORY!

10-22-2019. . . . GREATER KNOWLEDGE, GREATER GRACE, GREATER GLORY!

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen." (2 Peter 3:18 KJV)

Very early in our educational development, we learned that in order to matriculate to the next grade level, it was necessary to increase our knowledge and demonstrate comprehension of that knowledge at our current level.   No increase in knowledge. . . . no advancement to the next level!   The same can be said of Grace! There are levels of Grace! (Favor – Authority – Anointing. . . )   In order to advance to the next level, we must increase in knowledge.   Not just any knowledge, but in the knowledge of Him who called us out of darkness (ignorance) into 'His' marvelous light. (knowledge)  The more we hunger and thirst for increased knowledge of Christ, the more ‘Grace’ He bestows upon us.  Greater knowledge = Greater Grace = Greater Glory!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for the knowledge of You we’ve already obtained.  Our desire is to grow in grace through knowing you more and more to the end that your glory is made manifest throughout the whole earth. Amen!

2 Cor 13:14. . . .The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. KJV
