Love Means Discipline

Posted on July 19, 2012 by Prayer

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and
repent.
Revelation 3:19

The Lord said, “If I love you, I will rebuke you.” People transpose
this statement. They think that love means allowing people to do what
they want and never saying a cross word, but God doesn’t love that way.
The Lord will chasten you, and He chastens you with His Word. What are
you to do when He does? Hebrews 12:1 says that we are to “lay aside
every weight.” In other words, we are to make up our mind and act.

You get through tough times in the same manner as Jesus. Jesus had the
strength to endure the beatings and the crucifixion by focusing on what
God was going to give Him. You have to look at the joy. You have to see
your future reward. You can’t look at what is in front of you but at
what is coming for you.

Jesus resisted in that garden until His sweat was almost as big as
great drops of blood. It’s possible that his pores opened, and he
actually sweated blood. The pressure on Him to avoid that crucifixion
was immense, but He resisted it.

Hebrews 12:8 says that if we don’t receive God’s chastening, then we
are bastard sons. God does not chasten with sickness and disease,
poverty and lack, or fear and depression. You are a spirit, and the
chastisement goes to your spirit. I have been chastened by God, and I
would rather have been the recipient of a belting than to hurt so in my
spirit being when He set me straight with the Word.

Prayer for Today

Dear Heavenly Father!
You know my standing up and my sitting down. You now all my ways, and I
choose to lay aside everything that hinders my faith and focus on who
You are, what You have promised, and the joy and future reward that You
have planned for me. Thank You! In Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Leave It All In God’s Hands

Posted on July 18, 2012 by Prayer

Leave it all in God’s Hands

God is All Powerful

“He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, I am trusting Him.” (Psalm 9:12).

Looking back at historical events, we can see how God protected people in the past. When Napoleon’s massive French army was preparing to attack Feldkirch, a little town on the Austrian border, the citizens didn’t know what to do. When they spotted soldiers on the heights above the little town, a council of citizens was hastily summoned to decide whether the townspeople should try to defend themselves or display the white flag of surrender.
That fateful day happened to be Easter Sunday, so the townspeople gathered in the local church, as was their custom. The pastor rose and said, “Friends, we have been counting on our own strength, and apparently that has failed. As this is the day of our Lord‘s resurrection, let us just ring the bells, have our services as usual, and leave the matter in His hands. We know only our weaknesses, and the power of God to defend us.”
The council accepted his plan, so they rang the church bells. The enemy, hearing the sudden peal, concluded that the Austrian army had arrived during the night to defend the town. Before the service ended, the enemy broke camp and left!
No matter what threatening circumstances are encountered by those of us who truly trust our Lord, our all-powerful God is always with us. He is fully capable of shielding us from harm, even when we are unaware of the danger.

Your View of God Really Matters …

Do you rest in and experience the peace of God’s power and faithfulness, or do you fear the dangers of this world? Meditate on Psalm 91 and trust in Him.

What More Does God Say?

Psalm 46:1; Psalm 91:1-6

Because God is all-powerful, He can help me with anything.

God Will Not Bless Your Mess

Posted on July 15, 2012 by Prayer

God Will Not Bless Your Mess

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and
into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction
and perdition
1 Timothy 6:9
Paul did not say that this would happen to those who are rich. He said
that this would happen to those who crave, lust after, and chase
riches.
There are two systems: God’s prosperity that comes when you chase after
God, and God causes abundance to chase after you; and the world’s
prosperity that results from chasing after money because you really
don’t know God.
You cannot know God and still act like the world, chasing after things,
lusting after things or buying things simply because you want what
someone else has. You have to discipline your flesh. God will not bless
your mess. As long as you violate Scripture, He is unable to put His
hand into your financial life and change things. You need to first go
back to God’s Word and make some decisions about how you will live your
life. Then, He will be able to help you. Amen!

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19

All Your Needs!
If God has promised this, then why are so many Christians living in lack? If God wants His children to prosper, then why are so many living in poverty? I want to share with you a way to have all your needs met-not in heaven, but here, now, in this life-not some of your needs,
but all, every one of them. A seed will meet any need, but just as a farmer watches over his seed, so you must do something to guarantee yourself a harvest.
You have a part to play in your prosperity. You can’t live any way you want or do anything you feel like doing and expect God to pour out a blessing on you. God requires of you three things so that He can meet any need you will ever have: Obedience, Faith, and Seed. Once you have faithfully done your part by obeying God, believing Him, and sowing
your seed, then your days of reaping are sure to come.
Prayer for Today
Dear Heavenly Father,
I exalt You. I magnify Your Name. You are the God of all-provision. You supply my every need through the power of Your Son’s sacrifice and resurrection. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

From Hot For Christ To Dead To Christ

I know what you have done; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either one or the other! But because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit you out of my mouth! You say, “I am rich and well off; I have all I need”. But you do not know how miserable and pitiful you are! You are poor, naked, and blind.
Revelation 3:15-17

The word “Spit” means to vomit you up. In order to vomit something, you
had to have ingested it at some point. It was in you. It was part of
you, but it became so troubling to you that it had to come out.

This church is prosperous and has allowed its prosperity to dull it. Many times people start out working hard and experience success. They experience blessings. The pressure isn’t on
them anymore. Their bills are paid, and things are going well. That zeal becomes dulled, and they become lukewarm.

To God, being lukewarm means that you were on fire and then you became cold because good things were happening. You became prosperous. You were enjoying good health. Your children were doing well. Life was good. And instead of that firing you up, you became lukewarm. God is not against prosperity, but He is against prosperity changing you.

I know of a man in our church one time who didn’t have anything going for him. He wanted to learn the Word of God, so the pastor taught him. He became prosperous; in fact, he became a millionaire. But when He became wealthy, his zeal disappeared. We stopped seeing him at church; he had other things to do. The end result was that he became very cold to the things of God and backslid. He ended his life by committing suicide. Yes, it is possible to go from being hot to being dead.

Prayer for Today

Dear Heavenly Father!
All that I am and all that I have belongs to You. You gave me strength
to prosper, and You have blessed me. I praise You for being true to
Your name and Your Word. In Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Because of Who God Is

Proverbs 30:4-5: “Who has mastered heavenly knowledge? Who has ever caught the wind in His hand? Or wrapped up water in a piece of cloth? Or fixed the boundaries of the earth? Who is He, if you know? Who is His son? God keeps every promise He makes. He is like a shield for all who seek His protection”
An average believer makes a casual commitment to God and
serves Him only because of what He can do for them. Let us never
forget WHO HE IS! He is THE MIGHTY GOD and deserves reverence and
full devotion. It’s time to make the adjustments and serve Him
because of Who He is.

Never Give Up Attitude

Posted on July 10, 2012 by Prayer

Never give up attitude

Dear Friend,

There has never been a greater opportunity for the church of Jesus Christ to shine with the glory of the Lord. However, we must make certain we develop a “never give
up” attitude. Proverbs 24:16 “for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises
again…”

In every circumstance of life there are choices to be made. You must decide what
you will do in times of crisis, when you make a mistake, or when you experience
failure. It’s not about falling, it’s about rising again. Your enemy is intimidated
by your tenacity to never quit and to never give up.

So today I boldly decree your attitude is right, your faith is focused, and you
are expressing the reality that satan cannot win if I don’t quit. Hallelujah!

The Antidote for Fear

Posted on July 8, 2012 by Prayer

English: Resurrection of Christ (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The Antidote for Fear

Trust in God; trust also in me.

John 14:1, NIV

Jesus commanded His disciples to “trust in God; trust also in me.” The antidote for fear is faith.

When I toss and turn in the middle of the night, worried and fearful over something that is impending in my life or the life of someone I love, I am comforted and calmed as I meditate on Who God is. It helps me plant my faith in Someone Who is bigger than my fears. I just fall back on Who God is and rest in Him. He cannot be less than Himself! And my God is God!

Next time you feel afraid, make up a list – not of your fears but of the characteristics of God. Find a Scripture verse or passage to substantiate each one as you reconsider your situation in light of Who God is. Then, if you feel it would be helpful to list your fears, make sure beside each one you write down the attribute of God that applies. The secret to peace lies in your focus.

Blessings

Keeping Up With the Joneses

Posted on July 7, 2012 by Prayer

Keeping Up With the Joneses

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in
whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to
be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I
am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and
to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me
Philippians 4:11-13

People get into financial trouble when they violate the scriptural principle of not coveting. To covet is to long after something. We’re
supposed to fix our desire upon Jesus. He is the one whom we long after
and follow.

The mentality of the world (and a lot of believers stay in the way of
the world) is that they have to keep up with the Joneses. Or else they
have big eyes, desiring everything they see. When people run after
money so they can be fulfilled, they are guilty of coveting. Coveting
gets you into trouble.

God has promised to give you abundance because He loves you and you
obey Him. But life is not based on what you have. Your life is in
Jesus. He is your sufficiency. All the rest is just bonus material that
God gives you to use as you bring more people to Jesus.

Can God Count on You.

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Prayer

Can God Count on You?

I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept
my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of
the synagogue of satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do
lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet,
and to know that I have loved thee.
Revelation 3:8-9

The church at Philadelphia is going to have manifestations of God. Man
cannot stop what God is going to do. Those going the wrong way, those
going the false way, are going to come, see and know that God’s hand is
on them. God said, “I am going to put them right at your feet.” This is
an Overcoming Church. This is a Word Church, a Faithful Church, and a
True Church.

Faithfulness is the character quality that ensures that you do the
right thing, whether anyone is watching you or not, whether anyone is
keeping tabs or not. When you are faithful, you do it with the right
motive, and you can be counted on all the time. Everybody in the body
of Christ likes people who are faithful, especially pastors. I know
that I can give the faithful something to do and don’t have to think
about it anymore!

John goes on to say that those who remain faithful will have a crown.
Those who are overcomers will be “pillar[s] in the temple of my God”
(v. 12). They will have all the authority that Jesus has.

Prayer for Today

Father,
I raise my hands in recognition that You alone are worthy! I praise You
and give You glory! Through Your power, I will be faithful to You, no
matter what comes! In Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Remember God!

Deuteronomy 8:10-14 says:

“When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which He hath given thee. Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping His commandments, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I command thee this day. Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.”

There are people who forget God, but you are not like that. You remember the way of transgression; you remember that it was a way of hardness, loneliness, brokenness, and discouragement. Now you are the blessed of the Lord. You have been touched by God. You have been bought with a price. You are stamped with His approval. His hand is upon you. He loves you. His ears are open to your prayers, and His eyes are upon your life. You can do no less than to remember God in all that you have and in all the ways that you walk.

Remember God!

Though Your Beginning Was Small, Yet Your Latter End Should Greatly Increase

Though Your Beginning Was Small, Yet Your Latter End Should Greatly Increase

Small Beginnings

If thou wert pure and of right, surely now He would awake for thee
and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. Though thy
beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase
Job 8:6-7

Some people hear a message on divine prosperity and believe that God
promises this to believers. However, they respond: “Pastor, I come from
a poor family. All I can really hope is that one day I get out of debt.
I’m never going to reach a point of abundance, however, because I have
too far to go.”

Naturally speaking, it seems wise not to get your hopes up. But God
doesn’t care where your starting point is! Job’s friend told him that
if he turned toward God and lived right before God, God would cause his
house to greatly increase and be prosperous. This is true for you, too!

It doesn’t matter where you start from. It just matters whom you hook
up with. According to God’s system and God’s Word, if you stay with God
and do what He tells you to do, your end will be much greater than your
beginning.

Whoever is faithful in small matters will be faithful in large ones; whoever is dishonest in small matters will be dishonest in large ones
Luke 16:10

Faithful in Least, Faithful in Much

This Scripture doesn’t say, “He that is not faithful.” It says, “He
that is unjust.” If you are not faithful, you are unjust.

God is not going to give you a bonus if you are mishandling what He has
already given you. Many people are living in houses they should not be
living in, driving cars they should not be driving, and wearing clothes
they should not be wearing. They are trying to look prosperous or be
prosperous, but they are doing it the natural way instead of doing it
through the power of God.

If you are working two and three jobs to keep up the appearance of
prosperity, you need to downsize. If you are not being a good steward
over the goods God has given you now, you are preventing God from
making you rich.

God’s ways are truly higher than ours.

Isaiah 55:8-9 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

There are times in our lives where we know that we know that God wants us to do something, yet our flesh kicks against it with all its might. Sometimes we do what God wants us to do, yet we feel remorse in our hearts because it just doesn’t make sense in the natural. This is where we need to guard our hearts and always remember this scripture. His ways are truly higher than ours, and in the end, God always have our best interest at heart. You may not understand it now, but trust and obey Him and feed on His faithfulness.

Do Not Worry

Posted on March 26, 2012 by Prayer

Biting one's lip can be a physical manifestation of worry. Español: Morderse los labios puede ser una manifestación externa de inquietud. Русский: Плачущая девочка. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Do Not Worry

Luke 12:22 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life…”

Have you ever had a big moment clouded by some unexpected
circumstance? Everything you planned ahead about and were excited to share was overshadowed by one new stress after the other.

It’s like one minute the seas are calm, the next it’s the fifty year storm. In times like these it can be difficult to keep a level head.

Often we’re filled with frustration and anger and don’t know where to turn. Although it isn’t the easiest thing to do, this verse is spot on. Worry won’t bring us a better situation, it will only worsen our circumstances.

God commands us not to worry because He wants us to trust Him fully. He wants our attention not our worries. When life throws you a curveball don’t retreat, re-adjust.

Recognize that God is still in control and He wasn’t the least bit surprised by your situation. Think about it like this…

Have you ever heard an actor after winning an Oscar go on to thank worry? How about an athlete after winning a championship? Probably not, right?

That’s because worry won’t ever solve your problems. God knew this from the beginning and set out to keep us from falling into its trap. If you’ve been struggling to find peace, check your mind for worry and let go of it. Your best days are still in front of you. Trust God and ask Him for His guidance and He will not abandon you.
