“I will lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night.” Psalm 63:6 I just love this passage of scripture concerning David. No wonder he was a man after Gods own heart. It is very evident at that particular moment who ruled David. At that time it was not his flesh that ruled over him but the spirit of God. This is beyond … Continue reading Psalm 63:6
As I was in the woods last week before it got light, I was looking at the stars and then they disappeared and the day came alive with many sounds. I thought of how David experienced that everyday as a shepherd boy. I thought, what did he experience? In the book of Psalm we read the word “Selah” between certain verses. That is exactly what … Continue reading SELAH
One night last week, I awoke and these words were laid on my heart. IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE OF JOY IN YOU? I wrote those words down and I circled the word evidence. You know, Joy is the mark of a Christian? One time I preached, if they gathered up all the Christians like they did in Daniels time who prayed to the one true … Continue reading Evidence of Joy
“I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy and that your joy will overflow.” John 15:11 The word given to me last week was this, IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE OF JOY IN YOU? This continues to stick with me. All through scripture the word joy pops up every where. At least 155 times. And Jesus felt it was … Continue reading John 15:11
“Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. David fastened his sword over his tunic and tried walking around but he was not use to them. I cannot go in these he said to Saul, because I AM NOT USE TO THEM, so he took them off.” 1 Samuel 17:38-39 … Continue reading 1 Samuel 17:38-39
“Bless the Lord, oh my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name.” Psalm 103:1 Just another example of telling your soul to PUSH THROUGH. This is awesome! We are encouraged to talk to ourselves and we have not lost it. I do that, don’t you. I tell my soul to praise God when things seem very dark. I have said many … Continue reading Psalm 103:1
“When the people heard the sound of the rams’ horns they shouted, as loud as they could. Suddenly, the walls of Jericho collapsed, and the Israelites charged straight into the town and captured it.” Joshua 6:20 Do you know, God has already given us victory.? We just need to step out in faith. In scripture, the walls of Jericho and the killing of Goliath were … Continue reading Joshua 6:20
Storms come into our life uninvited. They come unexpected, without warning, non-stop and sometimes they are strong enough to knock our doors off our hinges. We all face battles in life. Sometimes our health, fear, anxiety, despair, depression etc… I like what the psalmist prayed years ago over Gods people. “May your unfailing love rest upon us Oh Lord, even as we put our hope … Continue reading Psalm 33:22
“He said to them, go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation.” Mark 16:15 I will never forget the story I heard years ago of a lady in her 70’s who became a missionary. You see God called her to be a missionary to a certain country when she was a teenager. She could not stop thinking about it while attended … Continue reading Mark 16:15
This story of John the Baptist puts it into right perspective. How many Christians want to have the top ministry, be the top preacher, evangelist, teacher, prophet, youth worker, writer, etc… John’s goal! “I am the voice of the one calling in the desert, make straight the way of the Lord.” Mark 1:3 John’s disciples began to leave John to follow Jesus. The crowds diminished. … Continue reading Mark 1:3 & John 3:29-30
