Gaining Greater Experience

-

Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek." (NKJV)

Only God has the power to do what He did to give us the opportunity for salvation through His Son Jesus Christ. Now that is real power, the power of eternal love.
The Lord wants us to gain in greater experience the power of His Gospel. The power to change lives is incredible. Changing lives comes through the Holy Spirit. He works into our thought life and through our reasoning skills improving us through His great power along the journey. When we read the Scriptures, we give the Holy Spirit tools to work with. When we get up in the morning, we need to plug Scriptures into our hearts and minds so God can empower our lives for the day. He knows what is ahead of us, and we need His presence to be active and sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Entering the day whether we are retired or still actively pursuing our careers or even still in school, we need to be sharp and have the edge God intends. Our being a success is important to God. What we do on this earth is important to God as well. We simply cannot afford to let the Scriptures slide for even one day. It may be just a verse, or even a section or chapter that God is using that particular day.
We must understand that God is using His Scriptures to provide a sense of peace in the midst of any storm we may encounter throughout the day (Mark 4:39). He is also providing knowledge (James 1:5).
The Scriptures are powerful. We may be facing challenges. Don’t go into these challenges without contemplating what God has planned for you. He provides peace and direction in making decisions. When we give Him a usable tool to work with, He sets out to provide us with the components we need throughout the day. Let’s face it. Life is hard, even more so if we chose to face it alone and not include God.
God’s plan for our lives
His desire for us to know Him:
I Timothy 2:1-4
What God did for us:
John 3:15-18 (16)
What we can do to accept Him as our Savior and have eternal life:
Romans 10:9-10, 13
Commit your life to Him today.  You will never be the same.
Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, instill in my heart a desire to involve You at the beginning of each and every day. Give me a hunger for Your Word. I ask in Jesus’ name, AMEN!!!
Have a BLESSED Day!!!
In Christ,

Where Is My Happiness Found?

-
Psalms 119:35 Make me walk along the path of your commands, for that is where my happiness is found. (NLT) In the Book of Psalms King David frequently speaks of walking with God. David especially covers his walk with God quite clearly in Psalm 23. He also talks about it in the following verse. Psalms 116:9 And so I walk in the Lord’s presence as I live here on earth! (NLT) David relates well to his walk with God because it was always something he gained so much from. David found true happiness when he walked with God. The more he walked with God, the more familiar he became with God’s benefits in his life. The relationship grew. Our relationship will grow with God as well when we walk along the paths of His commands. God’s commands are built for us as believers so we can have reliable scriptural structure around us and deep into our lives so we can experience His happiness along the journey. Key Thought: Make me walk along the path of your commands, f...

Word of God…...

Isaiah 40:8 “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of our God endures forever.” (NIV) What a promise this is! I have listened to people try to justify their actions by using the Word of God and compromising what it says to meet their particular needs. God’s Word needs no help. In this particular verse, we see that there is no room for compromise. We can lean on His Word, stand on His Word, speak, teach, and preach His Word, and the only thing we must do is let Him guide our hearts and minds in the delivery of His Word to others. Our confidence in His Word must be sound and unshakable, but we must also be able to accept humility when we do not understand what it says and seek His guidance to know Him more. In His Word we find clarity through research, life applications everywhere we look, and strength in time of need as well as comfort in time of trouble. Above all, His Word still stands. I could give verse after verse to substantiate everything I have pointed out here, ...

If Anyone Serves Me…...

-
John 12:26 If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor. (NKJV) Henry Blackaby once said, “Watch to see where God is working and join Him in His work.” Busy lives often cause us to become complacent in what God truly wants in our lives. Serving God does not pertain to just Pastors and Teachers of the Word of God. When we look around, we see God at work in many places, not just inside the church walls. We see Him in the co-worker who shares with others about what God has done in their lives. We see Him in the small group Bible Studies. We see him in many ministries around the world. Some folks go on short-term mission trips to fulfill a specific need in the field of missions. Let’s face it, all we need to do is look around and see where God is working and join Him there. He will guide you in this effort. Once, several years ago, a church had a fledgling Men’s Ministry. Th...
