Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

God delights when we love others the way that He loves us.

1 Timothy 5:21 (NKJV) – “I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.”

God wants us to treat everyone as He treats us, not as we might think they deserve to be treated. Just as we were created in God’s very own image and likeness, they were too. We cannot be partial to one person and prejudiced against another.

We all need God’s love and acceptance. The people around us are broken and suffering. Can we see them the way that God does? Is God trying to tell us something?

Father, help us to always love others, regardless of their personalities, ethnicity, class, or status, and regardless of where they live. Help us to live without prejudice or partiality, and to treat everyone as our equals.

Today, I’m worshiping with Fifty Nations as they sing “Amazing Grace.”

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

Greetings,

When you first give your heart to God, one of the lies that the enemy will tell you is that you must now be absolutely perfect or you will lose your salvation.

You need to know this in advance because of course you will fail. When you do and come to realize that you’re still living in a weak and imperfect body, satan will loudly declare that you’ve sinned, and therefore God will sternly reject you. The next tactic he employs is to make you feel overwhelmed with shame.

How do you defeat these lies of the enemy? One way is to live in a continual state of humility before the Lord. All we have to say is, “Lord, I thank You that I stand forgiven. Forgive me any time that I have failed You. I thank You for grace.”

David sinned horribly, but he found mercy. That was before Christ had come to earth to atone for our sins. How much more is forgiveness now available to those of us who stumble after what Jesus did for us on the cross? When you’ve blown it, don’t listen to the enemy. Instead pray as David did:

Psalm 51:1 (NKJV) – “Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions.”

Father, today I thank You for the blood of Jesus that cleanses my heart from all sin and unrighteousness. Forgive me for the many times that I have failed You. I thank You today that I am truly forgiven and clean in Your sight. That’s not because of anything I’ve done, but it’s because of the sacrifice You made, my Lord and Savior.

Today, I’m worshiping with Donnie McClurkin and “Create in Me a Clean Heart.”

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

Greetings,

Over the many years, from the days that were long before the psalmist David until now, song writers have tried to describe how wonderful God is. In spite of their eloquence and passion, words still fall short of describing our Lord’s love, magnificence and glory. We cannot help but be overwhelmed when we think about Jesus leaving the splendors of heaven to allow us to experience the riches of knowing Him.

This scripture is one of my very favorites:

2 Corinthians 8:9 (NKJV) – “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”

Think about that. For our sakes, He became poor! That’s what He did for every one of us! Doesn’t that amaze us?

Lord Jesus, I thank You for all that You have done for me. I am in awe of Your sacrifice on our behalf. You did it all that we might become the children of God and become rich in Youl! Such love and devotion are too glorious to comprehend. I love You!

Greetings,

God wants you to be blessed today—in every area of your life! This is what His Word declares:

3 John 1:2 (NKJV) – “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in ALL things and be in health, just as your soul prospers:”

Did you notice that God wants us to prosper in ALL things? To what degree, you might ask? To the same metric as He desires for our souls to prosper, He also wants us to be healthy and well. It is a lie from the fallen one that our Heavenly Father would prefer for us to limp along spiritually, or that He wants our marriages, finances, health, and the other area of our lives to be inadequate. God wants to bless us—period!

Lord, I worship and thank You in advance for every blessing that is coming my way. You always have my best interests at heart. Blessings are coming to every area of my life. I know this because You have declared that is You will. Knowing this is what You desire for me, by faith I can agree with Your Word and declare, “This is the day the Lord has made. I will be rejoice and be glad in it!”

Today, I’m worshiping with Phil Thompson and “Atmosphere Shift.”

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