Greetings,
How reliable and secure is the Word of God upon which we have based all our faith and trust? Will its truths ever change or waver? Does the Bible ever need to be updated or replaced?
Psalm 119:89 (NKJV) – “Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven.”
In Hebrew, the word “settled” means: set; to stand; to be established. His Word is not only fixed, it will stand forever over everything else that exists!
We can trust every statement or promise that God has ever made. His Word is forever true, secure and unchangeable!
Almighty God of Heaven and Earth, I worship and thank You today for the life-giving truths in Your Word. The Word of God is my firm foundation that is safe and reliable—and it will stand forever! I cannot be shaken when I place my confidence in You. You will never let me down. I praise You!
Today, I’m worshiping with Eddie James and “Adonai.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,
We must never forget that Jesus is the healer of every sickness and disease!
Matthew 8:16-17 (NKJV) – “When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, [17] that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: "He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses."
If God had only provided salvation for mankind, that would have been more than we deserved. But, the atonement also included healing for our sicknesses and diseases. Isn’t that amazing?
Whether we receive healing through prayer, or it comes through the treatment of a physician or medication, I am so grateful that God cares about our pain and suffering. If you are ill today, I’m glad that we can call upon the Name of Jesus and receive the healing that He purchased with the stripes that were placed upon His back.
Dear Lord, I thank You for the lashes that You received upon Your precious back for my healing. The price for me to be healed is paid. I receive healing now. I love You and thank You for caring so much for me. You created me, and if You can create the marvels of the human body, You can heal me as well. Thank You for healing!
Today, I’m worshiping with William Murphy and “Healer.

Greetings,
The human ego can be so deceptive. What we do for God and others must be based upon His greatness—not to exalt or bring honor to ourselves. Notice what John the Baptist said:
Luke 3:15-16 (NKJV) – “Now as the people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not, [16] John answered, saying to all, "I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”
When a person has low self-esteem or a wounded spirit, they may unconsciously seek the praise of men, or do good because they need the approval of others. We might do the rights things, not because we love God but rather because we enjoy receiving the praise of men. Our good deeds should be to glorify God. Motive matters. Ego can be deceptive.
John the Baptist did amazing things but he didn’t fall for the trap of doing them to feel better about himself or earn acceptance. Right up front, he stated that another was coming who was mightier and more worthy than he was. John was secure enough in God’s love that he didn’t struggle with ego. He could decrease while Jesus increased. Wow!
Father God, You alone deserve honor and glory. We pray for the humility to serve You acceptably and to always feel secure in the identity that You have given us. Free us from being people pleasers to become God pleasers instead.
Today, I’m worshiping with Brooklyn Tabernacle choir and “Sometimes It Takes a Mountain.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,
A stunning declaration made by Jesus has defied the current trend of thought about multi-culturalism:
John 14:6 (NKJV) – “Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Christianity teaches that we must love everyone, and that all men are created equal. That belief is true. However, it does not posit that every belief system is equal. It cannot, because that isn’t true.
Unfortunately, a current belief being heavily promoted states that whatever a person believes is unimportant and that all roads lead to salvation.
Simple logic contradicts the truth of that statement. After all, two plus two will always be four, even if someone else believes the answer is five. Similarly, different spiritual belief systems can never be in agreement, since some teach the very opposite of that taught by others.
Jesus said that no one could approach the Father except through Him. That’s why He instructed us to go throughout the world teaching the Gospel. Our salvation depends upon knowing THE Truth. This is the reason we need to learn the Word of God.
Lord, I’m grateful beyond words that You revealed to me the Truth of who You are. I could be lost, confused and not know the Way. I am overwhelmed with gratitude that You allowed me to hear Your message of salvation and then say yes to Your call.
Today, I’m worshiping with Eddie James and “To Jesus.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
