Request & Fix
Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep in perfect peace ALL who trust in you, ALL whose thoughts are fixed on you!” (emphasis added).
If you want God’s peace in your life, then you need to request for God’s peace. The truth is we do not pray for God’s peace enough. Read the rest of this entry
Body & Heart
John 14:27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give isn’t fragile like the peace the world gives. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” (LB, emphasis added)
To enjoy God’s promise of peace, the second thing you must do is Get Rest For Your Body. Ezekiel 20:12 “And I gave them my Sabbath days of rest as a sign between them and me. It was to remind them that I am the Lord, who had set them apart to be holy.” Read the rest of this entry
Much More
John 14:12 “I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father!” (TPT, emphasis added)
We are taking a break from our previous study to receive God’s Word for us this Easter. Jesus is alive and well. Hallelujah! Happy Easter! So, over the next few days, we will be focusing Read the rest of this entry
Four, Five
John 3:16 “For God expressed His love for the world in this way: He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not face everlasting destruction, but will have everlasting life.” (The Voice, emphasis added).
We will pick up today’s devotional from where we left off yesterday. Acts 20:35 “…remembering the words that the Lord Jesus himself said, ‘There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.’” Read the rest of this entry
Like Him
John 1:16 “For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favour upon favour, and gift heaped upon gift].” (AMP)
The culture and the world around us are really pulling a lot of us in different directions. People do not even know what to live for, live by, or believe in anymore. Some say trust this guru, Read the rest of this entry
Ever Present
John 14:16 “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you.” (emphasis added).
We said yesterday that The Holy Spirit resting on the believer was a new concept to the Old Testament believer. In times past, for example with Moses at the tent of meeting, the presence of God would descend like a cloud and Read the rest of this entry
From Within
John 7:38-39 “‘Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given…” (NIV, emphasis added)
Jesus came so that you may have life. And the key to this life in God is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the one who unlocks this life. And this life that Jesus is talking
Real Reason
John 3:16 “For God expressed His love for the world in this way: He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not face everlasting destruction, but will have everlasting life.” (The Voice)
Jesus is the express image of the invisible God. Colossians 1:15 “[Now] He is the exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible]; He is the Firstborn of all creation.” (AMPC).What God was saying is that Jesus came out of Him.
On Purpose
2 Corinthians 5:20 “So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”
Why church, why do we exist? Yesterday, we began to look at the first of four reasons which is, We Exist To Celebrate God’s Presence [Worship]. We exist to worship Him because the Father seeks people who worship Him in spirit and in truth. And when we say we exist to celebrate God’s Presence that is what it should be.

Ecclesia
Matthew 16:18 “…upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.”
With all that is going on in the world today, one of the questions in people’s hearts is why church? A friend was telling me about three men who said the only reason they used to go to physical church was they were always afraid bad things would happen to them if they did not go to church physically. The COVID-19 pandemic had demystified church for them, so they had removed church from their calendar. Read the rest of this entry
