Forgiven

Proverbs 28:13, "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confessed and forsakes them shall have mercy. “I am so grateful that we serve a forgiving God. No matter the issue He is waiting for us to simply confess our sins so that He can forgive us. 1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

God’s forgiveness is not based on our good deeds, or our church attendance just our simple but honest confession.  Are you in need of the forgiveness of God? If so why not repent (sincere resolve to turn away from sin and toward God) and confess to God.  Allow yourself to be cleanse by the precious blood of Jesus so that you can walk in the forgiving power of God.

The Whisper of God

Can you remember how many car horns you have heard today; or how many birds you heard chirping? Most of us can’t we have simply learn to tune out these everyday sounds, as we go about our busy day. I wonder how many of us have also tune out the whisper of God.

{1 Kings 19:11-12 (MSG)} Then he was told, “Go, stand on the mountain at attention before God. God will pass by. ”A hurricane wind ripped through the mountains and shattered the rocks before God, but God wasn’t to be found in the wind; after the wind an earthquake, but God wasn’t in the earthquake; and after the earthquake fire, but God wasn’t in the fire; and after the fire a gentle and quiet whisper.

Have we allowed the busyness of our day to drown out the gentle quiet whispers of God?  Is God not talking or are we not listening? Today I challenge you to take the time to quietly sit in the presence of God and listen for the whisper.

{John 10:27Amplified Bible (AMP)} The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me.

Prayer: Dear Father, today I wait for your whisper. Give me your divine instructions that I may do Your will.  In Jesus name Amen.

A Prayer for the Persecuted

2 Corinthians 4:8- 10 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. Father, reach out to every believer/ Christian that is being persecuted for the sake of the gospel. I pray for every minister, missionary and believer who is putting their life on the line so that others may know you. Strengthen them, encourage their hearts. I ask that you divinely protect them from those that seek their lives. May their hope and faith be in you God and let them never be ashamed. Let your angles watch over them and their families. Bless them completely for they think not of themselves but of how to tell others of your saving grace. Give them the resources to continue to spread the Gospel. I pray that they stand strong and firm in their faith in Jesus name, Amen!

What a Love

The Bible is all about how much God loves us. Sometimes we can get wrapped up in how much we love God that we fail to remember just how much He loves us. Sometimes when we feel like we have done all we can, and it is not good enough, we need to remember that He loves us in our imperfections. But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.{Romans 5:8 AMP} What a love. God did not wait for us to have it together but He sent His Son to die while we were still a mess. The Blood of Jesus did not just cover our mess but it cleanses us from all sin {1 John 1:7}. My prayer for you today is that you have a love encounter with God today. May you feel His presence and know just how very much He loves you.

Come out and Acknowledge Jesus

Matthew 15: 21-22 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. Canaanites were known for their idol worship. In the Old Testament there was a time when the children of Israel even worshiped the idols of Canaan {Ps. 106:37-38.}This woman of Canaan had to come out of the religion and traditions of her family. If she wanted Jesus to heal her daughter she had turn away from those idols and acknowledge Jesus. {Hebrews11:6} But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. She acknowledge who Jesus was when she call Him Lord and Son of David. In 1Chronicles 17:11-13 we see the promise of Jesus Christ coming as a descendant of David and who would establish God’s kingdom on earth}. If we are to walk in faith and have our prayers answered we have to come out from sin and acknowledge Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Prayer: Father strengthen us to be able to walk away from a life of sin to pursue a life with You, Father. Today and everyday we acknowledge Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We are thankful for the price He paid. Amen.

God Loves You!

{John 3:16 }{“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. The creator of the universe loves you. He did not wait until we were perfect to love us. {Romans 5:8} but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Today, I challenge you to just think on the fact that God loves you. No matter what is going on in your life God loves you. We must be confident in that fact so that when the bumps in life come we can hold fast to Gods' amazing loves us.
