Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

Scripture tells us that when we believe on Christ, we will never be “put to shame:”

1 Peter 2:6 (NKJV) – “Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."

Why is this promise so important? It reveals the difference between guilt and shame. Guilt is a feeling of remorse for our wrong thoughts and deeds. Because we are descendants of Adam, we have all experienced feelings of guilt. But those feelings can easily be resolved by simply asking God to forgive us.  

However, shame is a very different matter. Shame is not about what you’ve done; it’s about who you are.  Shame goes to the core of your being. The enemy wants you to be ashamed of who you are. He wants you to believe that you’re inferior and worthless. As flawed as we know we are, he often succeeds in causing us to live with shame. But if you will believe on Christ, it will change everything! You will become a child of God. As His son or daughter, you are worth more to Him than all of the world!

Father, thank You for forgiving and washing away my sins with Your blood. Because of who You are, I am now free to be who I am….Your child! You are more Heavenly Father and love me deeply and unconditionally. I receive and walk in my new identity as your child.

Today, I’m worshiping with William Murphy and “When I’m Weak.”

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

Greetings,

When Moses was shown the pattern of worship in heaven, he saw various articles of furniture that represented our approach to the Presence of God. He was told that if he would replicate this exact pattern on earth, it would lead him into the Manifest Glory of God, and that the Divine Presence would overlay their worship.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Hebrews 8:5 (NKJV) – “who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, "See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."

Our worship can recreate this same pattern. This is the secret for entering and abiding in God’s Presence.

Holy God, I desire to enter Your divine Presence and abide with You. I worship You from the depths of my being. As in Psalm 91, I want to live in the Secret Place and under the shadow of Your wings. Show me Your ways and teach me the paths I must take that I may dwell in Your abiding Presence. There is nothing and no one like You.

Today, I’m worshiping with Free Chapel and “Speechless.”

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

Greetings,

When we embrace sin and allow it to remain in our lives, it will block God’s favor and dry up the river of His blessings.  

Psalm 107:33-34 (NKJV) – “He turns rivers into a wilderness, And the water springs into dry ground; [34] A fruitful land into barrenness, For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.”

On the other hand, those who serve God will thrive! Even the dry places will become abundant and fruitful.  

Psalm 107:35-38 (NKJV) - “He turns a wilderness into pools of water, And dry land into water springs. [36] There He makes the hungry dwell, That they may establish a city for a dwelling place, [37] And sow fields and plant vineyards, That they may yield a fruitful harvest. [38] He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly; And He does not let their cattle decrease.”

Have you been going through a dry and barren place? If you’ll fully surrender your life to Him, He will truly cause your “desert” to blossom like a rose!

Father, today I ask You to create a clean heart in me. Let my deepest passion be to know and to please You. I want to bring a smile to Your face today. Be delighted in me. Let Your heart and character be found in me. I want to be a man or woman after God’s own heart! I love You Lord.

Today, I’m worshiping with Nikki Mathis and “All I Really Want.”

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

Greetings,

If you’re really serious about being in a relationship with God, you’ll see a big difference in the way that God answers your prayers. God does not want His people to just use Him like a lucky rabbit’s foot or a good luck charm and then forget Him once their needs are met. He wants to be our Heavenly Father, our Jehovah Jireh, our Protector, and Provider that we love and worship.

Proverbs 15:8 (NKJV) – “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.”

When our hearts are set on loving and serving God, He delights in answering our prayers. That’s how we step from the dimension of the ordinary into the realm of the supernatural where all things are possible!

Father, I want to love and serve You with my whole heart. I desire to know You more and to constantly be aware of Your Presence. Stay close to me. I desire for my prayers to be based upon my relationship with You, and not just a “Get Out of Trouble” card that I use only when I need help.

Today. I’m worshiping with Worship Mob and “Never Far.”

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