Reflection Day
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 Today is Reflection Day! I love reflection day. It’s a time for me to go back and reflect on what God has spoken to me about. It gives me time to pray and seek God about what he wants to change in my life. It gives me time to make a game plan of putting action to what God is telling me and asking of me. Reflection Day gives me a slower pace to grasp what God is telling me. It gives me more time to…

God Can Do And Who He Says I Am
Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. Habakkuk 3:2 How would you define faith? What does Hebrews 11:1 define faith? There are two words from Hebrews 11:1, they are hoped for and unseen. They don’t make an exact science of faith. The less evidence of the nature of walking by faith rather than by sight has its obvious risks. Perfectionism can be hard when we have faith. We often have to admit that we were wrong. Failure may be painful, but…

God Is Who He Says He Is – Part 2
Did you ponder on yesterday’s post? Did find the answer to how long Moses and Joshua waited before God spoke to them? They waited forty days and nights, then in Exodus 25:1, God spoke! In the old testament, the people could inquire of the Lord in the tent of meeting, however, they had to do it in a certain way. Reread Exodus 33: 7-11. What do you see them doing? They watched Moses from a distance. In 2 Corthinians 3:10, we are the people of the New Covenant, we have the surpassing glory that God has offered to us. Yet, we do what the Old Testament people did, we stand…

Receiving The Holy Spirit
“How much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Luke 11: 9-10, 13 Are you a Christ-follower? A believer? A Christian? God has promised the gift of the baptism of the Holy Spirit to you. God wants you to receive His gift. You don’t have to, and it’s not forced upon you. It’s a gift you have to ask for. First of all, do you want the Holy Spirit? All you have to do is pray and ask for the gift. After you ask, keep praying until you receive it. Sometimes it will happen all at once, and sometimes you have to wait, and…

God’s Love For The World
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. John 3:16-17 God’s love is so deep for you! Yes – you!! This is the heart and purpose of God. His plan of salvation for you! God’s love runs deep and wide for everyone. God had his son Jesus die, be the sacrifice, to pay for our sins. He gave his son out of love for us. This is a complete…
