Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

What things are most important in life and after what do you seem the most? Are you seeking fame, finances, long life, or relationships? Jesus said that if we would seek first the Kingdom of God, all the other things that we need, He would supply. To truly seek His Kingdom, we must first seek Jesus Christ, the King of the Kingdom!

Psalm 37:4 (NKJV) – “Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.”

Lord Jesus, I want You to be my greatest treasure and the joy of my life. I desire to pursue You with my whole heart. Create in me a desire for even more of You. Lord, help me make You the central focus of my life.

Today, I’m worshiping with Israel Houghton and “More and More.”

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

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.”

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!

Today, I’m worshiping with Hillsong and “Broken Vessels.”

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