Scripture of the Day - November 25, 2012

Titus 2:13  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14  Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity,

God Almighty, who is also our saviour, gave himself for us. He redeemed us. He bought us back. We are His. It's a done deal. 
Our hope is not some vague wish. We don't cross our fingers thinking maybe, perhaps, if we could be so lucky. On the contrary, we look with full confident expectation for the glorious appearing of our Lord and Saviour. 
How exciting is that! Don't let your heart be troubled, keep your eyes focused on His return.

Scripture of the Day - November 24, 2012

Romans 5:2  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

We have access to the grace of God through our faith in Jesus. Jesus said "if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." John 8:24
We must believe that Jesus is God manifest in the flesh and that all the fulness of the Godhead dwelt in that human body. God was reconciling the world unto HIMSELF, which is why he manifest HIMSELF in the flesh to pay our penalty. 
Whooooweee! And we can rejoice in the hope we now have, the hope of the glory of God!

Scripture of the Day - November 23, 2012

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

The only way to have peace with God is through Jesus Christ, and our faith in Him. There are not many paths to heaven and not all of the faiths that man has devised will enter in. Jesus was very clear on this when He said "I am the way the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but by Me."
Folks, we need to pray for those who don't understand this yet. Pray that their eyes be open to truth.

Scripture of the Day - November 22, 2012

Ephesians 5:15  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

More than ever we need to immerse ourselves in the Word of God and allow it to guide us in all our understanding. We live in a day where evil is considered good and good considered evil. The prince of the power of the air has this world whipped up into a frenzy and if we are not careful we can get swept up in it. I was reading a headline about some left winged religious groups in the U.S. protesting against Israel. How backwards they have it. God said to Abraham "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." We need to support Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Scripture of the Day - November 21, 2012

Ephesians 4:30 30  And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

God has given us the potential to resist sin but we have the responsibility to resist sin. If we refuse to resist sin we are grieving the Holy Spirit. Repeatedly we are told to "let" which puts the onus on us. We have to make the effort. God has done His part and we are expected to do ours.

Scripture of the Day - November 20, 2012

John 16:13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth...

God has given us His Holy Spirit to guide us. It's up to us whether we follow or not. We can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us, but if we try to do things on our own, that's when we fall short. It's imperative to be sensitive to the Spirit and that takes practice. God will often lead us out of our comfort zone and that's when we tend to put on the brakes and say no. Unfortunately, we don't go anywhere when we do that... we don't grow ourselves and whatever we are trying to accomplish for God won't come to fruition.  
Don't ever give up. No matter how many times you may fail God is always there to pick you up and head you on the right track again.
Micah 7:8  Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

Scripture of the Day - November 19, 2012

Hebrews 3:15  While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

I've been reading reports on the Convention in El Salvador. So far during this weekend over 2000 people have received the Holy Ghost and over 100 were baptized. Whoowee, how exciting it is! Looking at the pictures of thousands of people responding to the preaching and the Spirit was beautiful. 
It hit me though, how different it is up here in the north. If we get one or two responding it's revival! People's hearts seem to be harder up here. They don't receive the Word of God so readily. They are just not interested. You can't even beg them to come to church. They have better things to do. But yet then think they are all going to heaven. How wrong they are. If they harden their hearts toward God now they will not enter heaven. 19  So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Folks, those of us who believe need to pray more fervently than ever for our friends and family whose hearts are hardened. Time is growing short.
