Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

Have you ever noticed how people begin to imitate the things they worship? If we worship a god that has no life, our spirit will eventually die. We become unable to even hear the life-giving voice of God as He speaks to us. Without His Word in us, our own words begin to produce death. That’s because the gods of this world have no life in them, but our God is the living God!

Psalm 135:15-18 (NKJV) – “The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. [16] They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see;  [17] They have ears, but they do not hear; Nor is there any breath in their mouths. [18] Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them.”

In a time of need or a crisis, why should we depend on anything other than the one true God? Whenever we trust in things that have no ability to help us, we’re sure to be disappointed.

Lord, I thank You for being a living God of power, majesty, strength and love. When I trust in You, I know I’ll never be disappointed. Thank You for being who You are! You are always faithful.

Today, I’m worshiping with Dante Bowe and “Real Thing.”

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

Greetings,

Do you ever pray for God to make you worthy of the calling He has placed upon your life? Paul prayed for that, and I believe we should, too.

2 Thessalonians 1:11 (NKJV) – “Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power.”

As believers, the incredible gift of our calling should never be taken nonchalantly. Think of the many people you know who have not yet surrendered to the call of God upon their hearts. Yet, you and I have chosen to answer that call. We responded because He gave us the grace to say, “Yes.” Now that we have accepted His invitation, we must endeavor to be worthy of His grace and love.

Dear Lord, thank You for helping me to say, “Yes” when You extended the call of salvation to my heart. I owe You everything! I want to grow daily and for my life to be worthy of Your love and grace. In Christ, I stand.

Today, I’m worshiping with Hillsong United and “Whole Heart.”

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

Greetings,

Are you struggling financially? If you’ve been desperately trying to pay your bills and just barely getting by, remember that God wants you to be blessed!

Song of Songs 2:4 (NKJV) – “He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love.”

Did you understand those words? God wants to bring His loved ones to His banqueting house—not a house of famine or indebtedness. We serve a God of abundant provisions. Just as He provided for Israel in a wilderness that was incapable of sustaining so many thousands of people, He knows how to assist you and me in those times when we struggle.

Dear Lord, I thank You for providing for all my needs—whether they are spiritual, emotional, physical, financial, or for my family. You are still my Jehovah Jireh, “the Lord Who Provides.” I give You praise and declare Your greatness.

Today, I’m worshiping with Maranda Curtis and “Open Heaven.”

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

Greetings,

You are destined to not only conquer what has been attacking you, but to lead captive whatever has had you bound! This doesn’t happen because we possess power as mortals. It is because of who God is and His power working in us.

Isaiah 14:2 (NKJV) – “Then....they will take them captive whose captives they were, and rule over their oppressors.”

God’s greatness and all He has done for us goes far beyond my comprehension. The beautiful song, “How Great Thou Art,” has always been one of my favorites. For many years, it was the only hymn I knew that we would sing directly to God about His greatness. All of the others had lyrics that had us singing about Him.

Learning to declare God’s greatness and to personally give Him thanks for setting me free from whatever held me captive in the past continues to transform me. It seems to me that it keeps making God become bigger in my life as my problems become ever smaller.

Father, I thank You for being so amazing! You have been so indescribably beautiful and wonderful to me. Thank You for empowering me to rule over what frequently had me conquered in the past. Oh, how great You are!

Today I’m worshiping with Willow Creek and “How Great Thou Art.”

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