” The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble they will never fall for the Lord holds them by the hand. Psalm 37: 23-24.

” We can make our plans but the Lord determines our steps. ” Proverbs 16:9

TODAY’S QUESTION: Have you ever planned to do something and at the last moment have a change in plans?

TODAY’S MESSAGE:

Life as we know it is very unpredictable. As a prudent person it is reasonable to plan for the future.  Many of us will set aside money for our retirement and set back and think of the great things we are going to do or of all the places we will visit. Sometimes those become a reality in life but there are often stumbling blocks along the way, and in many cases, road blocks that we never get past. We must understand that we may plan the future for our lives but it is The Lord God in heaven who directs our steps. It is He who has developed a plan for each of us and He will take every precaution to make sure we take His pathway. There may be sickness and disease that slows us down or even stops us completely. We must listen and walk in faith to get through these hardships. However, we must also remember that it is not He who puts the evils upon us, but in many cases, He will allow them to run their course. He has His reasons . No matter our age we are always learning from the Lord. Our faith is tested and the trust we have in Him is tested. We may have to go through the fires of living in this world but He is holding our hand the whole way. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” Revelation 3:20

TODAY’S QUESTION: Have you dined with Him?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Some think they have met Him and have not. Some know they have and have received.  Others no not whether they have or haven’t and are headed for a great surprise.  The message of Christ Jesus has become universal.  With television and social media, it has become difficult to have not heard the message of Christ Jesus.  Knowing Him is believing Him. It is being strong in difficult times and being persecuted with the joy of Jesus in your heart.  If you are not sure you have met Jesus on a personal level, then you probably have not. You may know of Him but not know Him.The time to open the door is today. Take a knee, confess that you are a sinner, confess your sins, invite Him into your heart and never look back. He loves you and His will for your life will be an exciting ride. There will be ups and downs but with The Lord Jesus by your side you will overcome all. Jesus is Lord! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” So fear the Lord and serve him wholeheartedly. ” Joshua 24:14

TODAY’S QUESTION:*Do you give “God in heaven”, all you have?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: We are not to give God only what we want to give. We do not give to God only what benefits us. We are to give our whole being. This is not easy because most of the time we don’t understand the way He works in our lives. In many cases we would disagree with His ways. We only see the small picture, only a snapshot of our life. But the Lord God sees the whole picture and knows the whole story from beginning to end. We have many choices to make while we live in this world. If we are living without a deep relationship with Him our choices will probably be extra hard, as we will go with the flow and move the way the world moves us. However, there is the way of God our Father. His way is truth, honesty, love, caring, fruitfulness and without hesitation.  Our Lord hs set a path for us. We have been given the freedom to chose His plan or our own. If we chose Him, He is always with us for council and for deliverance.  But if we choose our way, we will eventually fall with no one to help us. We must choose wisely and be we must be willing to trust, believe and receive, even in the darkest if times. Hard decisions are on the horizon. Who do you choose? PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” Pray that you will not give into temptation.” Luke 22:40

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Just what is temptation?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Every day of our life is confronted with temptation from the world. Many of these temptations become so entrenched in our life’s habits we no longer consider them as evil and hurtful to ourselves or to those who surround us. We often forget how Jesus handled the offer of temptations from the devil himself.  He reminded the evil one of the commandments of our God and how His desires are our road map for living.  The results of submitting to the temptations of the world are only temporary, but the ways of our God in heaven are forever.  If you have fallen away from His Word, it may be time to, once again become acquainted with His direction for the life you live. Pick up your Bible, pray for understanding before you read,  and try to soak in every ounce of His wisdom. Allow that wisdom to become your new norm and bless the Lord for the love He has for you. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” I bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in your mouth.” PSALM 34:1

TODAY’S QUESTION: How often do you bless  the Lord God in Heaven?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: We always have needs we want God to take care of. Rarely do we consider God’s needs. We are created to converse and praise Him in all things. We are to consider His needs. How do we know what He wants and what we are to do? Be consistent in reading His Word. Pray and ask for understanding and wisdom.  PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” He leads me beside the still waters.” Psalm 23:2

TODAY’S QUESTION: Is your world full of tidel waves that seem impossible to overcome?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: The world we live in is chaotic. There is not a perfect day that goes by. Yes, there  are good days and bad days, but perfect days in this life are unreachable.  However, if we take a step back and follow the ways of Jesus, our days can become perfect. What we are unable to overcome in this world, under our own power, we are able to accomplishish through  the Holy Spirit of God. We must listen to the tiny calm voice inside us that leads us by the calm and still waters of life, instead of trying to live our lives in our own thoughts and ideas allowing us to  drown in the tidel waves of this world. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into  the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.” Matthew 4:1

TODAY’S QUESTION: Who is the devil to you?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Who is the devil to you? Is he just a figment of your imagination or is he a real force on this earth? When Jesus walked this earth the devil was real. He even worked hard to turn Jesus against God His Father. If that is the case, then there is reason to believe that the devil is real. He was one of the most powerful angels of God and then decided he was larger and greater than God himself. He was thrown from heaven and has been ruling the earth for thousands of years. His end is eminent and coming soon. God has a plan and that plan includes the demise of the devil himself. The plan is not only hi-lited in the Bible but comes with great detail. We should all keep in mind that if Satan tried to win over Jesus he will not hesitate to influence each of us. We are involved in a great spiritual battle that has been going on since Adam and Eve and before. Let us not let our guard down but instead continue to be strong in our God in heaven. It is important to understand that we cannot pick and choose. We either believe and have faith or we do not. Jesus was sent as a total sacrifice to save us. Reach out, grab Him, and never let go. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

“Thomas because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. ” John 20:29

TODAY’S QUESTION: Who is the source of your strength?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Thomas would not believe such a wild concept that Jesus had risen from the dead until he physically saw him and touched His wounds. Have you ever had that same thought? Have you ever had to see something to actually believe it? I am sure that most of us have crossed that bridge.  It is impossible for us to be able to accomplish what Thomas did. Our God in heaven wants to know just where we are in our faith walk. For us to truly believe in the resurrection of our Lord and Savior it takes faith. We have nothing more to go on than what we have been taught through scriptures, and that is all we need as a follower of Christ Jesus.  If we believe the Bible tells the total truth, as told by  God, then we surely believe in the sacrifice Jesus made for each of us. It is by faith that we believe and receive. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.”Proverbs 15:4

TODAY’S QUESTION: Do you speak more positive things or negative things in your life?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Are you considered by those around you to be positive in your thoughts or more negative?  The bible us quite clear that the tongue is a two edged sword. It can be used to create goodness in our lives and in the lives of others, or it can become a very destructive force, one that can throw punches and utterly damage others. A wholesome tongue is one that builds others up, strengthens our own faith and allows others to want to be around us. If we want to have a strong life, one that allows us the freedoms God has intended, then it is time to check our negativity at the door. We cannot allow the things of this world to dictate how we speak and live. We must be strong in prayer, always building upon our faith so that we can overcome what is against us. There should be no assumptions in our lives about what God says. We must read His Holy Word prayerfully, over and over again. We must honestly ask for his guidance and speak to others only what is found to be truthful in this message to us. Our God is a great God and has given us a path to heaven, but we must choose,through our own free will, the direction we go. Let us all concentrate on wholesome talk and become positive in our troubled times. The Lord loves us but we must also love Him more than we love the world around us. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. ” Psalm 91:15

TODAY’S QUESTION: Have you bowed before Christ Jesus and truly accepted Him as your Lord and Savior?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Have you answered the door when Christ has knocked? Have you picked up the spiritual phone and called into the Jesus hotline? Jesus has promised us answers.  He has promised that if we bow before him and accept Him, He will work and live in our lives. Our God is a great God. He is a loving God! It is because of his love for us that He allowed the sacrifice of His one and only Son. He allowed Jesus to take our sins and carry them on His shoulders.  He allowed Jesus to go through the pain and suffering that you and I deserve. Through His death our sins are forgiven, our bodies are healed,our prayers are answered and His love encompasses every part of our being. Without accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior our hope dies out. If we reject the sacrifice that both God and Jesus made for us, then there is no future for hope and happiness. There is still time, but you must believe and receive. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.” Proverbs 15:3

“Don’t not be afraid or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. ” Joshua 1:9

TODAY’S QUESTION: Are you aware of our Lord’s presence in your life?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: We have an omnipresent God. He has made it clear that it does not matter who we are, where we are or what our troubles may be, He is always with us. He is ready to help us when we need Him. There have been many times when I have just needed Him to listen. There are other times when I need an answer and even times when I need a miracle.  My faith allows me to know that He does answer when I call. Sometimes it takes time to receive His solution to my problem. There are other times when he answers and I miss His response because I become too busy not paying attention.  It takes two to tango, as the old saying goes. You and I must understand our Lord and how He works. We must prepare ourselves by staying grounded in prayer, studying His Holy Word and giving Him the praise and thanks He deserves. The Lord never has and never will abandon His children. Let us stay close to Him in Spirit and believe to receive without doubt! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” The Lord has made everything for His own purposes, even the wicked for a day of disaster. ” Proverbs 16:4

TODAY’S QUESTION: Do you put yourself first in your life or do you put others first?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Sometimes we forget the purpose of this world and the purpose of man who is in it. We sometimes leave our Creator out of our own story, thinking of ourselves only. When God created this world He did not do it for man. He didn’t create it so that we could make our own decisions in life. He created this world for His purposes, for his enjoyment, and for His companionship. He created this world for His own desires. We, as temporary residents on the earth, were not made to totally understand God’s ways. We were made to be obedient and glorify Him for all things. We don’t understand all of His actions in our lives. We don’t understand why many go through bad times and others seem to cruise through life. What we must always remember is that God in heaven is in total control. He has a plan that has already been launched. We all have been given a part to play to fulfill His plan. We should always pray and develop a close relationship with Jesus! We should do our best to live our lives in obedience to Him, no matter our circumstances. Our Lord loves those who love Him, and with total belief in Him, we will survive and be rewarded. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

“Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him.” Psalm 37:7

TODAY’S QUESTION: Who is in charge of your life?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: It is hard to let go of the things we love so much in life. As temporary residents of this world we are sometimes overcome with the need to be in total control of our own lives. We are conditioned to take over and do things the way we see fit. We want nobody else to tell us right from wrong or direct us away from worry, doubt and fear. When we succumb to a life in Jesus, we must give our total self to Him. We must be able to let Him be in control of our lives. We are to let go. This is easier for some than others, but when accomplished, our lives will be resting in the peace and understanding of our loving Lord, Jesus. If we totally trust in Him we are able to set back and relax, knowing He will protect us and guide us in the right direction, eliminating any doubts, worries, or fears. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with me on My throne, as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. ” Revelation 3:21

TODAY’S QUESTION: DO YOU THINK OF JESUS OFTEN?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Jesus was a constant overcomer in His earthly life. There were constant problems set before Him, to not only disract from His ministry, but to also destroy Him. We are in the same boat. As followers of Christ we are to live our lives with peace of mind, understanding and strength.  When we are able to do that our faith grows stronger. However, this world is permitted to stand in our way. We begin to take our eyes off of Jesus and allow self to take over. We become frustrated, discouraged and begin to doubt ourselves. We start making bad decisions that compound our already disrupted life. When we begin to make decisions outside of prayer is when we are most prone to fall into the trap of reality.  We must then refocus and reset.  We must re-enter our prayer time and begin to listen to the Holy Spirit. There is nothing we can do that will dissolve God’s love for us as He will forgive our sins when we ask Him. Unless we surround ourselves with His love and nurturing each day we will soon forget. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” But he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him.” Psalm 32:10

TODAY’S QUESTION: Do you recognize the mercy of God in your life?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Just what does it mean to have mercy on someone? Mercy is the choice to forgive an offender. Because we were born into sin there is no one who is perfect in this world. We are all offenders, all of us sinning in one way or another. However our God in heaven loves each one of us in ways we don’t understand. He loves us each so much that He was willing to sacrifice His one and only Son so that you and I can live. We have been given a reprieve if we only accept it. Because Jesus took our sins upon himself, we are given the chance to be saved from the depths of hell. However, we must confess we are a sinner,accept Jesus as Lord and Savior of our lives, believe we receive, and shout to the world that Jesus is Lord. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” The righteous person faces many troubles, but The Lord comes to the rescue each time.” Psalm 34:19

TODAY’S QUESTION: Do you trust The Lord in all of your problems?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: To be righteous is to be in “right standing with God.”  We are to listen, to hear and to do as He commands us. As we train ourselves to be righteous in God Amighty, we train ourselves to be good listeners and doers of His Holy Word. We develop a solid trust in Him and in His promises.  Our faith begins to grow and will eventually become a major part of our lives. God’s Word tells us, that as people of this world, we will be confronted with problems as we live each day. However, our righteousness will sustain us as God is always there to rescue us. We must continue to believe and hang upon His every word. We must receive His help within our hearts and act upon his promises for our lives. Our God is a trustworthy God and one who never stretches the truth. He is honorable and lives up to His every word. Let us all enroll in God’s school of truth, honesty and faith and learn to live in His will. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord  your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

TODAY’S QUESTION: Have you realized your true strength?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Life is as unsure as the day is long. It is wise that we should expect the unexpected. God has a plan for each of us. Some of us, with obedience to Him, will realize the plan He has set before us. Others will take a different road. They will not develop that intimate relationship between God and man and they will go down their own path, making rash decisions without God. Since we know that life on earth can be troublesome, why not take the path that leads to success? Why not make life as easy as possible? It is because we each have our own choices to make and sometimes our choices are not wise. When we struggle, our first instinct is to feel sorry for ourselves, wondering “why me Lord?” Each of us will eventually come to that important juncture in our lives where we have the chance to follow Jesus, allowing him to take our problems upon his shoulders which allows our load to be light. We are to be strong in or ways. We are to be courageous in the way we live, and we are not to fear.  We can do each of these things if we allow Jesus to direct our comings and goings. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

“Be of good courage and he shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.”  Psalm 31:24

TODAY’S QUESTION: How do you react to hardship?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Just what do you consider to be hardship in your life? When these trials and temptations come calling, do you face them head on by standing on the promises of our God in heaven? Or, do you continue to look at the world as the answer to problems? The way you approach the enemy will determine just how your life will be directed in hard times. The problems of life create circumstances that can destroy you or can increase your faith and strength in Jesus. We must understand what God desires for us and we should be able to go to His Holy Word and seek the answers. We should know what He has promised to us and know that He works from the sprit world and not within this world. We must train ourselves up to depend upon His ways,strengths and promises. He loves us and wants us to succeed, even in the hardships that stand in our way. We must live in the present with our eyes upon the future.  PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” In my desperation I prayed and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles. ”  Psalm 34:6

TODAY’S QUESTION: Have you ever been so desperate that you had no where to turn or no one to turn to?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Sometimes desperation in our lives can lead to great things. It is never fun to go through troubles. It is never pleasant to be in a situation where you have no place to turn nor anyone to turn to for help. However, it is during these times that the Lord will stand tall in our lives. He is always beside us to help us get out of a corner. It sometimes takes a desperate moment for us to plea to God for help. It is easy to try to find those around us we can trust and talk with, but many times those conversations produce no answers. As followers of Christ Jesus our answers are always at our fingertips.  All we must do is ask, believe and receive. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” Serve the Lord alone.” Joshua 24:14

TODAY’S QUESTION: Who or what do you serve?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: As humans, our minds wander. Sometime we get mixed up with the ways of the world and often  we don’t even know it is happening. Making money is something that seems to grab at many people. It becomes their passion and takes over their whole life. They want the best for their family so they begin to put their hearts and soul into their careers. They become so entrenched in their jobs they forget the priorities God has set before them. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with making money. However, there is something wrong with how we use it and our intentions for it. If we are showing the world that we are better than the next person, we are wrong. If we are no longer realizing who actually provides us the opportunities to garner our wages, we are wrong. If we become self serving in our ways, we are wrong. At every turn, we make in life, we are to glorify our Lord in heaven. For every penny we make we should remember to first give Him glory and great thanks for our opportunities and abilities. We are to serve one God and that God is our great God in heaven! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” Don’t not fear any of the things you are about to suffer. ” Revelation 2:1

TODAY’S QUESTION: Do you worry and fear about things that have not yet happened?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Do you allow fear and worry to overcome you? Do you allow them to dictate what you do each day or how you live your life? We must always remember that fear, worry and doubt are not from our Lord. Jesus lived his life with courage. He knew there would be suffering in his life but he continued to move forward, knowing very well that God was with his every move. You and I must be able to do the same. It is with prayer that our faith increases. It is with meditation in His Holy Word, that we obtain the knowledge to be overcomers. It is when we take our eyes off of Jesus that the devil and his band of unholy demons have a heyday.  We have the tools at our fingertips to overcome, and live our lives with joy and love instead of doubt,worry and fear. It is with the strength given to us through His Holy Spirit that we are able to not fear any of the things we are about to suffer. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” Dwell in the Lord, and feed on His faithfulness.”

TODAY’S QUESTION:  Where does your mind take you?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: It is easy to say, ” I Belive in Jesus.”  But what about living the part? Putting your life under the control of others can be a frightening thought. That is what our Lord is asking of us. We are to go about our day making decisions with His help. We are to take the time to listen and do as He instructs through the Holy Spirit.  Whether we come across situations that involve anger, confusion, sadness, or doubt, worry and fear, we are to make ourselves present before the Lord. We are to involve Him first. We are to think of Him, ask Him and listen to Him. We must feed off of our understanding that He is faithful in all of His ways. He never has failed on a promise, and never will. Even if our thoughts may not agree with His decisions, we must continue to fill ourselves with His honorable ways. We must continue to trust Him and follow His lead. Remember, our God is faithul in all of His ways.  PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. Psalm 31:5

TODAY’S QUESTION: Do you feel redeemed or do you feel worn down by the struggles and sin around you?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: When Jesus went to the cross he was just another troublemaker in the eyes of many. When He was put into that tomb He was considered by many to be dead and buried.  It was time to get back to a normal days life. However, something else was happening that even those closest to Jesus didn’t understand. He had risen. He had become the redeemer, the one who pulls us out of our sins and makes us new again. Even though we are human and continue to make mistakes in life, He redeems us. With the faith we are to plant and nourish in our earthly lives, we are to use to believe and expect to receive. Even though we may be told we are not good enough,  through Jesus, our God in heaven,  has a different view. His love is so great that He continues to pull us up and out of struggles everyday. But we must commit our ways to Him and believe. Let us always remember to live our lives with Jesus continually on our mind! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

“This is a revelation from JESUS CHRIST, which God gave him to show his servant the events that must soon take place. He sent an angel to present this revelation to his servant John, who faithfully reported everything he saw.” Revelation 1:1-2

TODAY’S QUESTION: Do you believe?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: At God’s appointed time, Jesus Christ will come in glory and reveal himself to the entire world as the sovereign Lord. Those who love him will be glad, and those who do not will be afraid, for they will be in an alliance with Satan in a battle doomed in failure. Ultimately, Jesus Christ will defeat them and usher in his eternal Kingdom. This is the final chapter in the Bible’s grand story about God and  humanity. This story is about to come to an end. Jesus stands at the door waiting for God to give him the signal to come in great glory. There are many who don’t believe this great return of Jesus will ever happen, as people have been watching and waiting for this event to for over 2,000 years, but every promise has been kept and every prophecy met for the rapture of his church to now take place. As we carefully read and study God’s Word we will see every promise met. Our God in heaven never fails and we should never doubt. His coming will happen in the twinkling of an eye. If you have never developed a personal relationship with Jesus, the time is right now. The time is short! He is coming back soon. The rapture of His church is about to take place.Don’t miss the airplane, as it will be a glorious flight. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

“But you dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of Holy Spirit, and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ who will bring you eternal life. In this you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.” Jude 1:20

“All glory, majesty, and authority are his before all time, and in the present  and beyond all time!Jude 1:25

TODAY’S QUESTION: Are plugged into the right outlet?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Just where are you plugging in your life? Are you putting the correct power into your heart or are you feeding yourself the kind of power that puffs you up and helps you look good to others? Our Lord is very clear in the directions he gives us. We are to be concerned for our brothers and sisters in Christ, building them up and helping to keep them strong. To be able to do this, we must stay plugged into the right source and keep our faith strong. We must carefully listen to the Holy Spirit who lives in our heart to forever guide and direct us. We must be consistent in the minutes and hours we put into prayer and study. We must never let down in our praise for  his majestic power and the greatness he provides us in our lives. Through hardships and joyous moments we must always stay strong! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

“Perfect love casts out fear!” 1 John 4:18

TODAY’S QUESTION: What is the most dreaded fear in your life?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Fear is a terrible consequence of starving your faith. It is important to  feed your faith every day.  Without a strong faith in Jesus, the evil one will have a clear path to cast fear before every step we take. As human beings we can only control so much. Although our destiny is in the hands of our living God we do have control over how much we believe in our Lord. We do have control in how much we learn about the love Jesus brought into the world. Jesus walked among us telling the truths of his Father in heaven. He told of the ways we should live, how to become strong in our faith in God, and he took all of our faults upon himself so that we would have a starting point to begin our faith journey. Sometimes we dwell too much in the past. When this is the case, it becomes easy to doubt our future in Christ Jesus and begin living in the world. It is wise to concentrate on the promises of God and  profess His commandments in our lives. With this, our faith continues to grow and our life begins to better represent the life of Jesus. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases Him.” 1 John 5:14

TODAY’S QUESTION: When you pray and ask for God’s help, is there any doubt lingering around, that will hinder your request from God?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Today’s question leads us to the reason we sometimes do not see results in our prayer life. The confidence we have when we pray is determined by the faith we have built around us. It is by faith that people are healed and it is by faith that our prayers are not misdirected by our own doubts and fears. Are you reading the Word of God everyday? Are you applying his ways in your life or do you take 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at night to reach out and  pray to him? Just how much time in a day do you give to God, in relation to the time you spend speaking, thinking and living in the ways of the world? How much time is spent in conversation with Him as you work your way through your day? The Lord our God plays second fiddle to nothing! He is to be the reason we get up in the morning and the reason we are successful in what he allows us to do during each day. He is the reason we lay our heads on our pillows at night and can be comforted as we sleep. It is time to stay strong in the Lord. We cannot leave even a crack in the door to allow for doubt, worry and fear to slip in. Stay close to God in heaven and He will stay close to you. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

“For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.” 1 John 5:4

TODAY’S QUESTION: Have you ever felt as though the world, with all of it’s troubles, is closing in around you?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: The world we live in today is moving much faster than it ever has before. Technology has help society in many ways,  but as time has gone by, the “knowledge explosion ” has taken us to a whole new level. It has laid out ways, that not only helps us live easier lives, but also has given the evil in the world abilites to increase and expand as well. In everything we do, we must not only learn the new technology, but  also learn new ways to protect ourselves. Every time man gets involved and creates, on their own, new things, new problems come too. As children of The Living God we are not to allow the world and it’s resources to overcome us. We are to look upward and make the Lord our refuge and safety net. We are to increase our faith! Without great faith we have no chance. It is by faith in or Lord God that we are saved,healed, protected and lifted above man-made problems. It is by faith that we are able to defeat the evil in the world around us.  PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

” What is impossible for people is possible with God.” Luke 18:27

“Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your heart.” 1 John 5:21

TODAY’S QUESTION: Do you love something in this life that may be putting Jesus on the back burner?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Sometimes life hurts a lot. We are never far from an unexpected disaster that has the ability to turn our lives around in a completely different direction. In those times we sometimes become so desperate for help that we grab onto the first thing that comes along. When we do that, we usually have a hard time letting go and moving to the unseen spiritual world of our God in heaven.  This world we live in, with all of it’s resources, can never give us all of the answers. No matter how hard we try to find the perfect answer to our problem, the world always leaves us short. However, with God there are no limits. He is in total control and knows our next step before we even begin to move. It is important to keep the Lord first in our lives. Prayer to him should always be our first course of action in times of trouble. Let Him direct us to the correct resources in this world. He has the answers. There are no coincidences in life. There is a reason for everything.  We must remember that things that look impossible to the world are possiblele through God. Always keep Him first in your life and never put Him on the back burner. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!

“I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God .like a child will never enter it.” Luke 18:17

TODAY’S QUESTION: Just how do you know you are going to heaven?

TODAY’S MESSAGE: There are many in this world who think they are going to heaven and will not be there, and there are many in this world who maybe aren’t quite ready to accept Christ’s invitation, but who we may see in heaven in the end.  Just as the criminal being crucified next to Jesus, was probably one of the most unlikely candidates to enter heaven, he humbled himself and accepted Jesus as the Savior at the last moment, and Jesus assured him he would be in heaven that day.

Where are you in your walk with Christ? Are you living a life that truly fulfills his commandment for your life? Do you understand who He is and how to reach Him? Or, are you one who tries hard to understand the ways of the Lord, and in doing so you sometimes try too hard and begin allowing the world to dictate the way? Our faith is to be simple and childlike. We are to believe because we are directed to by Jesus himself. Our time is short upon this earth. It is not wise to hesitate until the end as the criminal did. Don’t over think your path. Christ has set one before you. Take it and don’t look back. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
