Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

Hope is a stronghold the enemy cannot overpower. He thrives where instead there is doubt and fear. Don’t give up hope. Instead choose to live each day in confidence. Satan’s attacks can’t succeed against us then. Hope makes us unshakeable and helps us stand. It is our anchor of the soul, securely tied to God’s promises in the past and to the victories that will certainly come in the future! Christ is that hope.

Zechariah 9:12 (NKJV) – “Return to the stronghold, You prisoners of hope. Even today I declare That I will restore double to you.”

Child of God, don’t give up! God has promised that He will restore and give you DOUBLE for what the enemy has stolen! The thief might have taken from you for the moment, but he will have to return it soon. God wants to undo the damage Satan has caused in your life and restore everything that you have been robbed of.

Heavenly Father, thank You for a firm and sure hope that is founded upon Your Word. You have promised to stay right beside us until we celebrate victory! I stand in hope because of those promises.

Greetings,

Have you ever felt that you had just blown it big time? To make matters worse, guess who showed up immediately? The enemy! He came running to accuse you and declare that your fellowship with God would never be the same again. Know this one thing for sure: he is a liar! Read what the prophet had to say.

Micah 7:18-19 (NKJV) – “Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy. [19] He will again have compassion on us, And will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins Into the depths of the sea.”

The God who created us knows that we are human. He delights in showing us mercy and compassion when we fail. Our Savior loves to forgive us and cast ALL our sins into the depths of the sea of His forgiveness. If He loved us when we were sinners who had no interest in Him, why would He stop caring now that we are His dear children?

Let’s learn to lean into God rather than away from Him, especially when your humanity shows through and you do something you wish you hadn’t.

Father, I thank You for having compassion on us in spite of all our flaws and weaknesses. You are a God of mercy and forgiveness. When we turn to You in repentance, You graciously forgive us. We praise you for allowing us to live without guilt or condemnation. We love You!

Greetings,

As a parent or grandparent, we should pray for our children every day. Our desire is for them to go farther in life and accomplish much more than we have. We hope that others will respect and admire their character and their achievements. Did you know that God hears these prayers and promises to fulfill them?

Isaiah 61:9 (NKJV) – “Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles, And their offspring among the people. All who see them shall acknowledge them, That   they are the posterity whom the LORD has blessed."

Father, help my children and grandchildren to know and love You. Cause them to become men and women who pursue after You. Let their hearts be passionate toward You and love You with all of their heart. Allow others to see Your favor resting upon their lives because Your favor changes everything. Cause them to be blessed. Protect and surround them with Your Angels.

Today, I am worshiping with Evergreen and “To Our God.”

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

Greetings,

What happens when God doesn’t do things the way you expected Him to? How do you respond when you pray for a miracle, a healing, or a promotion—and it doesn’t come? Think about this scripture:

Hebrews 11:39 (NKJV) - “And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith,did not receive the promise.”

If they don’t receive the promises they’ve been waiting for when they expect them, some people believe that God has failed them. He hasn’t! What about these heroes of faith in Hebrews, chapter 11?

Hebrews 11:13 (NKJV) – “THESE ALL DIED IN FAITH, NOT HAVING RECEIVED THE PROMISES, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.”

They are called heroes of faith because they never doubted God’s faithfulness, even when things didn’t go the way they had hoped. Rather, they continued to trust God, and to believe in Him and His goodness. This was Job’s commitment:

Job 13:15 (NKJV) – “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.”

Here’s a question that will help you measure your spiritual growth and development: can you continue to trust God and know that He is good, even when you DO NOT see the answers you were expecting?

Lord Jesus, help me to believe and trust You more. You are absolutely trustworthy for not even once have You ever failed Your people or let us down. Thank You for that kind of faithfulness to us. You are amazing!
