Our song of the day, Holy Spirit, reminds us of the importance seeking God’s presence in our lives on a daily basis is!

What are the Implications of a Holy Spirit Invitation? Worship Devotional

by

I think we need to take very seriously the words we are singing when we invite Holy Spirit to come and have His way among us individually and corporately! Do we believe that He will show up? And if He does intervene, are we flexible enough to allow Him to interrupt the plans we have in place?

Worship Devo: Rising from the Ashes of Defeat!

by

(see Titus 3:5-6). A life that rises from defeat and claims victory as we learn to trust in Jesus for everything we need. The Holy Spirit of God is the power that raised Christ from the dead and now that He lives in us He is giving us the power to rise from defeat and death as well!

You are Deeply Loved by God!

by

around us is decreasing in their capacity to understand true love. Please do not allow the influence of our culture to cause your hearing to become dull and your heart to become numb to the greatest message ever given!

Seeing Our Blessings as God Opens the Eyes of Our Heart

by

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)!

We Shout, “Hosanna!” to Our God Who Saves!

by

As we live our lives we need to constantly be aware of our need for God to save us as we are being led to our many “crosses” and seeking God to revive us each day! As we receive His delivering power in our lives, then it is only fitting to reply with a Shout to Hosanna in praise for turning our Graves into Gardens cultivating Spirit-led, fruitful lives for His glory!

Operational Upgrades for Our Lives

by

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!

My Intercessor is My Friend

by

I, and many others I know right now, am going through a trial called COVID-19. My family and I have been very fortunate to have only minor symptoms, but we are able to understand many things about this virus even better now and are able to pray more specifically for others who find themselves going through this trial. The worst part, in my opinion, is having to quarantine. Not being able to just pick up and do anything you want whenever you want to is a real burden, and I feel sorry for anyone that doesn’t have a strong support group of family and friends there to help them with any of their needs. I pray for anyone like that to receive the help and support they need to make it through this! We are praying for others with COVID-19 in ways we had not up to this point, and I think that is perfect intercession. Being able to sympathize with the pain and hurts of others and to lift those things up to the Father who is able to grant us mercy and grace in our times of need!

What is the Fruit that You are Displaying?

by

We must be careful not to forget that it is God who is at work within us to produce these fruits, not a vain effort of will from us. This is a hard concept to grasp, but I believe that many of us get caught up in defeat too many times because we do not understand this concept. This is a concept/principle that I believe is so critical in our walk of faith – Allow God to transform us without us trying to reform us! See, God wants to make us new creations, He isn’t trying to take the old us and form us into a new us. His work is a completely new life in Him. We get caught up in trying to take the old us and forcing it, or molding it, into this new life we are trying to live in Christ. This doesn’t work, and it causes all sorts of frustration. The Scripture above says that we were these things, but now we are made new! Why would a butterfly ever crawl on the ground like a caterpillar again? Why would we ever want to go back to our old ways? We are new in Him.
