Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

God ALWAYS wants what is best for us, the same way we want the best for our own children. In His Word God reveals His perfect will for us. We cannot help but prosper if we live in the middle of the will of God.

Psalm 143:10 (NKJV) - “Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.”

What is God’s will for us during the troubled times so common today? For one, God wants us to live in unity and harmony with our families and each other.

John 17:20-21 (NKJV) - "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; [21] that they may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; That they also may be one In Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.”

It is this “oneness” among believers and our love for each other that will convince the world that our message is true and that Christ is with us. After all, in the entire history of mankind, no one has successfully brought unity to our fallen world, or abolished racism and prejudice. Many have tried but failed. Christ wants us to model His love to the world by allowing Him to shine through our lives.

People think they can do it through education, yet campuses have become among the most intolerant places on earth. Strange isn’t it, that the more educated humanity becomes, the closer the world edges toward annihilation? We know more but yet are closer to an extinction event like a nuclear war than we ever have been. Without the Prince of Peace there is no peace. Or as the bumper sticker says, NO JESUS NO PEACE, KNOW JESUS KNOW PEACE.

Father, love the world through me. Give me a heart that cares for everyone and the patience to show people kindness. You cared for me. It changed my life.  Allow me to become the conduit through which grace is given to a broken world.

Today, I’m worshiping with Rheva Henry and “Here Again.”

Greetings,

It is amazing that God would take the time to know and be in relationship with us, but He does! He is our Heavenly Father. God not only knows who we are, He knows us by name! Because He created us, He knows our human weaknesses and frailties. He fully understands that we were not made from gold or precious things. Rather He made us from dust, the single most worthless thing on earth. Yet God loves us deeply and passionately. We are intrinsically valuable to Him!

God also knows “whose” you are, and is proud to call you His own. Don’t listen to the enemy’s lies. You were created by God for His glory, and honor.

Isaiah 43:1 (NKJV) – “But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.”

Father, today I am grateful that you love me unconditionally with a love that never ends. I want to know You the way You know me. Teach me Your heart. Illuminate my path with the principles of Your Word that I may follow You and become more like You each day. Help me to love EVERYONE the way that You love me!

Today, I’m worshiping with Phil Thompson and “Light the Way.”

Greetings,

There is no greater name than the name of Jesus! Paul said,

Philippians 2:9-11 (NKJV) - “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, [10] that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, [11] and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

At the Name of Jesus every knee should bow!  That not only includes those things that are in heaven, but those things on and under the earth. Just as all of heaven must bow, everything we will ever face must bow before the name of Jesus—including those things that were planned against us in the corridors of hell.

The authority of the name of Jesus is greater than that of all governments and institutions combined. So, let me ask, what seems impossible to you? Financial distress … an illness … a loved one who is far from God … racial harmony … the restoration of your family? Whatever it is, it must bow to the Name that’s above every name! When you pray, use the Name of Jesus. Hell will tremble as you do!

Father, in the Name of Jesus, we come to You, believing that Your Kingdom power will come with authority into our broken world. That Name is greater than any other and when it is spoken, everything stands at attention. Prayers are answered, battles are won, sickness is healed and oppression flees when the beautiful Name of Jesus is called! As Your child, I call upon You today.

Today, I’m worshiping with Hillsong and “What a Beautiful Name It Is.

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,

If God has our problem or situation covered, why should we worry about it? A better option is to try and conduct our lives in the very best way, then trust Him to do what He has promised. Most of our stressful situations are the result of forgetting what God has promised to do for us. We worry about things He has already declared that He would fix.

Matthew 6:25-26 (NKJV) - "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? [26] Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”

If our Heavenly Father even cares for the birds, Jesus reminds us, “Are you not of more value to Him than these small creatures?” In other words, why wouldn’t He also take care of you. You are His child!

Jesus, I am blessed by what You promised people that day. Birds don’t even know how to pray. They don’t know a single thing about farming. Yet You constantly watch over and provide for them. They don’t worry or stress out either. Help me to learn a valuable lesson from the things that You created all around me, and trust You! You are the God I trust and will never let me down. I praise You!

Today, I’m worshiping with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir and “Jesus It Is You.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
