Do You Have A Godly Inheritance?

But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Ephesians 5:3-5 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Our Inheritance
Only Godly people will have an inheritance in the Kingdom of God!
Isn’t it fitting that God warns us through Paul right after saying we are to be imitators of Him, about what we should not be or should not do. He is very specific about un-Godly actions such sexual lusts, evil doing, homosexuality and fornication, or the worship of idols etc. He goes on to tell us that if we are or if we do these things that we will have no inheritance in His kingdom. In other words God will NOT acknowledge us as sons or daughters of Him. God will NOT allow His children to act like the world around them. God will not honor religious fanatics either, He was Not pleased with the Sadducees and Pharisees of Paul’s time. God wants His Children to honor Him and Jesus and to be Christ-like in nature. This is a pretty stern warning if you ask me. Have no other God’s (Idols/Icons/Statues/Prized Possessions, coarse or worldly friends) before me. Oh, and did you notice that God called all of His children (believers) saints!

MY PRAYER…
Lord help me to renew my mind and to fill my heart with Your Words of wisdom to me. Help me to understand the true meaning of Your Word, Your Covenant, and Your Promises. Help me Lord to know how to not allow anything to separate me from Your Love, Your grace, and Your mercy towards Your children. Lord give the me power and the strength to change my ways from this day forward.
In Jesus mighty name, I pray.
Amen

Are You Hiding From God?

“Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 23:24 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
There is NO hiding from God!
Did you know that Adam and Eve tried to hide from God when they knew they had sinned in the Garden? There is no hiding from God. Did you not know that He sees and hears all, even your thoughts! Remember, there is no place that you can hide that God doesn’t see you. There is no place you can run to that God isn’t already there. There is nothing that you can say to anyone in private that God doesn’t hear you speak. There is nothing that you can think but what He knows your very thoughts. He is everywhere at all times, He is omnipresent. Ask yourself this; “Would I want God to see me do this, or know where I am going, or to hear what I am going to say? Because He will see, hear, and know! Those who think evil, those who do evil, those who are immoral and unjust, those who practice witchcraft or homosexuality He will judge accordingly and they will spend eternity in the lake of fire with the evil one. But for those who willingly and joyously seek Him and obey His commands, there is comfort, power, peace, prosperity, love and so much more in His presence. If God is with you, who can be against you?

MY PRAYER…
Most High God of the Mountains, the seas, the plains, and the skies, You are my source of strength as I seek Your presence. I acknowledge Your presence in all I do and everywhere I go. Please, continue to use me to bless others in Your name. Continue to remind me that You are always present in everything I do or say. Father, help us to understand Your ways. In the name of Your Holy Child, Jesus, I pray.
Amen

Casting Off

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Hebrews 12:1 New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Cast Off The World’s Vision of Norm And Acceptable!
The world around us is constantly witnessing to us it’s worldly, sinful, immoral ways. It is constantly bombarding us with things that are not Godly, with what they claim is the acceptable norm for today. Lesbianism and homosexuality are not the norm nor are they acceptable to God. Who says what is acceptable, them or God? I think it is God who says and Romans Chapter 1 is very clear how God feels about it. It is nothing but their justification for their lack of very poor judgment and their immoral ways. They try to make everyone think it is okay and the norm. But it is only acceptable to the deviants who practice it or those who profess it is okay. Teaching our children pro-Islam or Harry Potter’s witchcraft in school is NOT the norm or acceptable either! Arresting Christians because they speak God’s Word is NOT the norm and should NEVER be allowed. We need to throw off this vision of what is the norm or acceptable given us by the world, shake it off and turn away from the lustful sins that come with the things of the world. We need to set our minds on the things that are from above, from the Father. You can’t embrace the things of the world and be Christian (Christ-like) at the same time!
“But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” The ways of the world brings forth death!
We need to press into the things of God using Jesus as our example. We have a race, a course charted for us, that was charted before we were even born. But we must choose to run that race, and not only to run the race but to run it to win and finish. It’s our choice. God’s way and life or the world’s way and death, the choice is yours!

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, I thank You and praise You for who You and what You are. I thank You Lord that You are a loving Father, who has charted my race for me before the beginnings of time. I thank You Lord, that You know the end of my race and the outcome if I will only follow You. I thank you Lord that I can choose to run that race and that You will provide the example and the strength I need to complete my race. In the precious name of Your Son, Jesus, I pray.
Amen

Being Deceived

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience (Those who are of the world, not of God). Therefore do not be partakers with them.
Ephesians 5:6-7 New King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Are you being deceived, do you even know if you are being deceived or not?
How many of you have had someone try to steal the Word from you or try to convince you that the Word wasn’t true or doesn’t work? Beware, they are thieves trying to kill, steal, and destroy you with their empty words. Beware of books and movies which go against the Word of God, even if they claim to be fiction, for example the Harry Potter series. They are there to deceive you, placed there by or through the devil or his advocates (anyone who will listen to him and do his bidding) slyly like a fox. Their sole purpose is to quietly eat away at your faith in God. They slowly but surely begin to wear you down if you pay heed to or give them place in your life. The devil comes only to to kill, steal, and destroy you. Remember God’s warning, because of these things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience (those of the world not born again, who do not obey God’s Word) God sternly warns us to NOT be partakers with them. Either in the acts spoken of, or believing in what is said or portrayed. It is amazing how many people allow, even encourage their children to read Harry Potter, to play Pokeman, to partake of and enjoy Halloween! His wrath which will come upon the worldly will also be upon you if you do or allow this things in your life or family’s life! He loves His children, but He hates the sinful acts that people do. And while He loves His children He can NOT condone any of the sinful acts committed by them, they have NO place with Him.

MY PRAYER…
Faithful Father, thank You for loving me so much. Thank You for sending Your Word to teach and to train me in Your ways. Thank You Father, that You made a way for me where there was no way, a way to walk clear of the things of this world. Thank You that You have given me Jesus to be the Way the Truth, and the Life to me and to this sinful, corrupt, and dying world if they would receive Him. Father, help us to have spiritual ears to hear and spiritual eyes to see and the God given wisdom to discern when the thief tries to come and steal from us and deceive us.
In Jesus name.
Amen

Washed Clean

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 1:5-6 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
Washed From Sin
What can wash away your sins? The revelation of John relates once again to us that we have been cleansed and had our sins washed away, by the Blood of Jesus. Not by some mere man or priest hearing your confession, but ONLY by the Blood of Jesus! Not that our sins have been covered over or hidden, but washed away…as far as the East is from the West. Notice it says by His own Blood, not just by blood, to infer that the blood of animal sacrifices as in the old covenant, that blood could not wash away our sins. God makes it real plain here in His Word that it is nothing but the Blood of Jesus that cleanses us and makes us whole again in His sight. Oh, but He doesn’t stop there, we have a new and better covenant now (really it’s the first one God made 430 years before the Law was given to Moses). Jesus has also made us kings and priests unto God here on earth now with that cleansing. Remember this old Christian tune:

What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the Blood of Jesus!
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the Blood of Jesus!

MY PRAYER…
Father, thank You for sending me Your Son Jesus. Thank You Lord that His Blood has the power to cleanse and wash me white as snow. Thank You Father that I was able to give you my old tattered garments and through Jesus You have given me a new robe, pure and white. Thank You Father that You not only made a way for me, but Jesus was willing to pay the ultimate price for me. Father help me to be worthy of the price He paid for me. In Jesus’ Holy name and by the power of His precious Blood I pray.
Amen

Waiting

So Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
Hebrews 9:28 New American Standard Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Who are you waiting for? There is only one who can introduce you into the Father’s presence! There is only one way into heaven and the Father’s presence, not many as some think. There is only one who can and has taken away your sin. The Lord Jesus Christ, any other way is a dead end and false belief. The Bible, God’s Word has made this very clear, anything else is of the Devil! Can you think of anything more exciting than to wait for Jesus to come take us home in His glory. But, that word wait doesn’t mean to sit by and do nothing until He comes. That word wait in the Greek means to look for with full expectancy, to serve and tend to His needs and desires until His return. Are you ready? Have you laid the ground work, have you done your homework? Have you spent your time kneeling so that you can stand in good standing? Remember there is only one way to Father and that way is through Jesus Christ, the Son of God. There is only one way!

MY PRAYER…
Majestic King of the Ages, may your Kingdom come in all its fullness and glory. May every knee bow to your Son and my Lord and Savior, and may you grant that it may come to pass in our generation. I eagerly await the coming of my Lord and Savior, Jesus. In Jesus’ name, I expectantly pray and prepare myself for His coming.
Amen

Humble Yourselves Before God

Humble yourselves [feeling very insignificant] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up and make your
lives significant].
James 4:10 Amplified Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Humble yourselves. That sounds ridiculous, why would I want to humble myself? At least to the world and those that believe in “get ahead at all costs” and “don’t look back, the competition is gaining on you” it sounds ridiculous. But, humility is really a forgotten virtue. Being humble doesn’t mean crawling off in the corner and letting the world walk all over you. Often confused with weakness or timidity, humility is about knowing your proper place in the spirit realm of God and in the world without flaunting it. Would you rather fall on the rock and be broken or have The Rock fall on you and crush you into many fine little pieces? Only God can exalt us in a permanent way, so the key is to know our place before Him and let Him put us in the place He chooses in order to bring honor to Him. Being a pastor was not my idea, but it was God’s plan. Jesus said, “…If any man DESIRE to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.” (Mark 9:35) That’s humbling yourself. I had no desire to be a pastor, but God decided to put me in that position because it pleased Him.

MY PRAYER…
Abba Father, Most Holy God, thank You for allowing me into Your presence. When I think of all that You have done, the incredible universe You have made and hold together by Your Word, I am amazed that You would invite me into Your presence and care about my needs. I am in awe knowing You have a plan for my life that would please You. Help me this day to know my place in Your courts and Your presence. Help me to glorify You in what I do and say from this day forth. Let Your Holy Spirit lead and guide me in all things. Teaching me Your will and Your ways as we go.
In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen

His Word

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Psalms 103:1-3 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
If He said it in His Word, we need to believe it. I have forgiven you, I have healed you, I will cause you to prosper and gain wealth. Actually that’s pretty straight forward. Why is it so hard to believe? He said in Exodus 15:26 “…for I am the LORD that healeth thee.” In Nehemiah 2:20 “… The God of heaven, he will prosper us;… ” In Luke 6:38 “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom…” Should I go on, and on?

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, I thank You for making me one of Your children, for forgiving my transgressions and my iniquities. But father, You also said that You healed me of my diseases. Father, help me to understand that You have already done this, that it is not something You might do in the future. You also said you would prosper me and everything that I set my hand to. Father, help me to increase my faith and to receive that which You have already so graciously provided through Your Son, Jesus. In Jesus name I pray.
Amen

Freedom

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:31-32 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
It’s All About Freedom!
Freedom, that precious, coveted condition in life. There are few things in life more coveted than freedom. People have died for it through out history, are doing it today, and will continue to do so in the future. People pray for it. People strive for it. But true freedom comes from knowing the truth. Knowing the truth only comes by living in obedience to Jesus and the Word. By knowing, understanding, and living by the very Word of God. Truth is not something you merely think about or believe. Truth is something you do, something you live. Jesus’ teachings always end with the exclamation: Blessed are you who do these things! Jesus made it so simple and easy to understand, how can you not know what He meant. Only by doing what He told us to do will we ever know the truth that liberates us. You can hear about it, you can read about it, you can even see it, but until you do it for yourself and it gets into your very heart, you will not experience the truth that sets you free. That truth is the Word of God! Until you know Jesus Christ and Him crucified for you, you can not experience true truth!

MY PRAYER…
To the only true God be glory, honor, power, and praise. Father, I seek not only Your presence in my daily life, but also Your pleasure and Your will in the choices I make. Please continue to teach me more of Your truth as I pledge and strive to live everyday in obedience to Your Word and Your will. Father, help me to be a doer and not just a hearer. Let Your Holy Spirit fill me fresh each day with the power necessary to do the things You have called me to do. Through Jesus the living Word I pray.
Amen

Paid In Full

And He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
Luke 22:19-20 King James Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
Our Debt has been paid in FULL!
Jesus paid the price for us with His body and His blood on the Cross. His body was broken for us that we might have health and live free from sickness and disease. His Blood was shed as an offering to God for us, a seal of the “New and Better” covenant God has made with us who believe. We have been bought with a price, a very very precious price. Do you rightly discern the Lord’s body and what He has done for you, or do you give sickness and disease place in your life. When sickness tries to come on you do you speak what the Word of God says to it or do you just receive the sickness? My Cold, My flu, My this and my that! Not it is NOT yours unless you accept it! Jesus already bore all sickness and disease so we wouldn’t have to! It’s a done deal – He said”It is finished!” You have been bought, your debt has been paid in full!
Can someone shout Praise the Lord! \0/ \0/ \0/ \0/ \0/

MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, praise the glorious Name of Jesus. Father as we partake of communion with You help us to fully understand everything that You meant it to be. Lord, open the eyes of our understanding and fill us with revelation of You and Your Word. Lord, help us to understand ALL that was done for us by Jesus on the Cross that day. Lord help us to understand who we are in, by, and through Jesus. Lord purge us of all unrighteousness that we may be as vessels of honor worthy to be used by You. In Jesus’ Holy name and by the power of His Blood I boldly make this request of You.
Amen
