We must trust that the Word has power to destroy evil in our life and to instruct us how to live out our new life of faith!
Trust in the reliable and trustworthy character of our God and look to His Word for the encouragement you need today.

I love this remake of the old hymn, Amazing Grace, as it declares, “My chains are gone, I’ve been set free!”, praise God! I hope that your hope is secure in the freedom that Christ has offered you. I pray that you have been inspired as you listen and sing this song, and that your faith is in Jesus Christ and the grace that He offers all of us.
with a strategy that gives us the upper hand over our enemy. So let’s look at a few strategic elements we can implement as we face our daily battles.
There are times in our life that we will come upon a situation that seems insurmountable to us, like we have no idea how we will ever be able to get through it. Each day we need wisdom, direction, healing, etc., and if it is left to us we will be utterly helpless to get … Read more
Have you ever had a great plan that never actually worked out how you anticipated? Of course you have! It is so stinking frustrating when things do not go as planned. This is something that God never has to worry about. His plans are perfect and always work out just like He envisioned. Did you … Read more
Yesterday we discussed that God is near to all from Acts 17:27, and in today’s verses we see that reminder again! Actually, it is one of the most recited reminders all throughout the Bible – God is with us, He is near to us, He is available when we call out to Him! What a … Read more
I believe one of the most unfortunate things that I witness as a believer of Jesus Christ is the lack of appreciation and gratitude we have towards our Great Father for all of the many blessings that He pours out towards us each and every day! The Scriptures are clear to say that every good and perfect gift comes from the Father (James 1:17), and then Jesus says that the Father is the One who loves to give gifts to those who ask Him (Matt 7:11)!
Prayer is that part of the process that allows us to be honest about our system’s operating functions, and communicates the issues to the Technical Advisor (Holy Spirit). Once you have communicated to God through prayer, heard from the Spirit through the Word, and confirmed it through a close and trusted support group, then it is time to change (repent). Make the necessary adjustments in your life and allow the new and improved update from the Lord to enhance your life and your relationships with those that are close to you. Anytime we receive a system upgrade, it should allow for a better all around experience of our devices. The same should be true of our lives whenever we receive upgrades from the Spirit too!
This is a reference to Christ’s teachings, the Gospel message, and/or the Bible as a whole. “Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly”, I believe this to be a call to allow the Word of God to be the most evident influence in the dish of your life! When we do allow this to influence everything about us, we will inevitably be a much more “tasty” treat for others to be around. The smell and taste of your life will begin to show forth fruits such as the ingredients that we have been discussing for the past several posts, such as; a heart of mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiving, etc. (I have been using a clothing analogy in previous points, but think of all of those virtues as ingredients to the dish of your life). This kind of a life is certainly a sweet smelling offering to the Lord and to the people around us!
