#Matthew 10:8

"PASS THE PLATE PLEASE!"

2 Kings 7:9, “Then they said to each other, “What we’re doing is not right. This is a day of good news AND WE ARE KEEPING IT TO OURSELVES…” (NIV) So, Thanksgiving is almost here and it immediately makes me think about sitting at the family table. You see, somewhere in the ‘Fathers Handbook’, I’m convinced it says that the father automatically gets to carve the turkey, or the ham, or the roast.…

~ Scriptures about forgiveness ~

Matthew 6:15 "But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

“For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” —Luke 19:10 (NLT)

“No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.” —Romans 8:37 (NLT)

“But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.” —1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT)

Friend, when you think you're losing the battle, you're not, because you already have victory through Jesus Christ. When Jesus came down to Earth and died on that Cross, sin and death were defeated; the battle was already won. Anything else is just the devil trying to convince you that he has any power. He doesn't. You have the power, through Jesus Christ, who came to save you.

When the battle gets too tough, remember that you are not battling alone and unarmed. God is with you (Deut 31:6). The Holy Spirit lives in you (1 Cor 3:16). Jesus is with you always (Matt 28:20). And Angels watch over you (Ps 91: 11-12). That's a whole lot of reinforcement, right there.

As if all that wasn't enough, God gave you all the armor and weapons you need (Eph 6:10-18) and this promise spoken by Jesus:

“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”—Matthew 16:18‭-‬19 (ESV)

So you can't lose that battle. The devil might want you to think that you have lost, but through Jesus Christ every battle you face, including whatever battle you are fighting right now, were already won long before they ever began.

Brave soldier in Christ, keep fighting and ignore those lies of the enemy, because you will always have victory through Jesus Christ who loves you. Amen and Hallelujah! 🙌🙌🙌

The Bent-Knee Time

by Samuel Dickey Gordon

On an Errand for Jesus

Read: Matthew 9:36 to Matthew 10:8

Praying is the key to every needed thing. When you pray, something happens. The praying puts you into fresh touch with Jesus. You are where you can be used. The pray­ing man is given power. He can be trusted with it. For he will use it only as the Master guides. He can help his fellows in their need most. The closer we keep in prayer with Jesus the more we can help our fellows.

There is No Hypocrisy Like Religious Hypocrisy

There is No Hypocrisy Like Religious Hypocrisy

Have you ever had an interaction with someone who gave you the creeps? I know you have. We all have. Some people easily set off our “phony” radar. We seem to be able to detect their fake motives and disingenuous character. Something in the way they look, or the look of their eye, or the way that they speak sets off alarm bells in our spirit. Then there are others who seem to slip past all our…

"THE BENEFITS OF FASTING"

WHY DO WE FAST? There are different kind of fasts. There are private fasts that you do privately: Matthew 6:16-18, “And whenever you are fasting, do not look gloomy and sour and dreary like the hypocrites, for they put on a dismal countenance, that their fasting may be apparent to and seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full already. But when you fast, perfume your head…

Isaiah 10: Discipline Versus Destruction

What lay ahead would be a devastating ordeal, yet God did not want God’s people to be afraid, for their crucible would soon pass, and those who harmed them would receive just judgment from God. #Isaiah10 #FinalJudgment #GreatWhiteThrone

Discipline Versus Destruction What lay ahead would be a devastating ordeal, yet God did not want God’s people to be afraid, for their crucible would soon pass, and those who harmed them would receive just judgment from God. Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O my people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they beat you with a rod and lift up their staff against you…

Being Untransformed by Distractions (243) - April 27 2024

Play on other Podcast Apps We all want to be on the best path in life. The Word of God, Jesus Himself, is The Way, The Truth and The Life. Without Him we can do nothing. Without Him we cannot be on the best path. The devil therefore lures us to more familiar activities and distractions. We get to choose what we should watch, listen to, and who to be around.

“Keeping In Step with Christ” This 1-minute devotion explains why Christ told us to take His YOKE and 4 ways we can make sure we're doing it:

We always get out of step when we try to bear our own burdens, solve our own problems, and operate in our own power.

We need a yoke* that connects us with Christ so we can move in step with Him:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30).

Yoked to Christ, we walk where He walks:

1. Dwelling on His Word:

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly” (Colossians 3:16a).

2. Rejecting popular worldly philosophies:

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ” (Colossians 2:8).

3. Following His purposes:

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).

4. Walking in His power and strength:

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13).

Jesus says, "Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be" (John 12:26).

Best of all, when we move in step with Christ, we find rest for our souls.

-----------------

*Yoke: "zygós – properly, a yoke; a wooden bar placed over the neck of a pair of animals so they can pull together; (figuratively) what unites (joins) two people to move (work) together as one."

For a deeper understanding of taking Christ's yoke:

•Which yoke

•Yoked but unburdened

•Learn from Him

•Jesus invites us to come take and learn

•Come

(All Bible verses in the NIV.)

Cleansing the Temple is One Thing; How About Cleansing Our Hearts?

Day Four of the Ten Days that Changed the World: Monday of Passion Week was a day of travel and cleansing, Mark 11:12-18. Jesus and the disciples walked from Bethany to Jerusalem and back. Remember, that’s about an hour’s walk each way, so these guys were in shape! We don’t live in an age of walking, but it gave life a different pace, and certainly provided time to talk, discuss and teach as…

A Celebration of a Life Well Lived

We’re heading home after having been in Lubbock, TX, specifically to attend the Celebration of Life of my husband’s long-time friend, Doug Moore. Doug’s wife had already prepared us that the memorial service wouldn’t be a time of sadness. It would be a celebration combined with a praise service. Indeed, it was more than that. It was a challenge to us all to live up to our God-given potential. To…
