Like Fire God's Word Transforms

Fire is a chemical reaction that leads to the transformation of one chemical substances to another.    When we are in the word and the word is in us a transformation should be taking place.  Romans 12:2 {And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. }  We must allow the word of God to transform our mind and our lives. The Living Bible says it this way be new and different.

Growing up we use to watch the cartoon transformers. The first line of the theme song went Transformers More than meets the eye.  In other words what you see now is not all there is to me. See, there is more to you than what people see but you must allow God’s word to permanently transform you.

Do You have a Vision?

If we want to be successful in doing kingdom work we need to have a kingdom vision. In business a vision statement is meant to  serve as a clear guide for choosing not only a current course of action but future courses of action as well. In the kingdom vision must be God given and God inspire. The vision will also require you to move out of your comfort zone. Finally it will take faith in God for the vision to be fulfill.  

What is your vision? What is it God has place on your heart to do for the kingdom? What is holding you back from moving forward?

Today I am praying that you move forward in kingdom vision.

Hold on to God's Hand

Today I learn that a former preschool student of mine has lost her father. She is only 4 years old and now  a heart broken mother is face with the difficult challenge of telling 6 children that their Dad has pass. As my heart ached for her I was reminded of just how insignificant my problems seem. My hardest task today was getting my 2 year old to take a nap.

Do I understand why this family must endure this, no but I trust the Father. He is still in control even when we do not understand. His love is never ending and it never fails. I pray that through this pain they will not only hold on to each other but to Father God.  It is when we are weak that He is strong.

No matter your challenge today, tomorrow, or even next week remember to hold to God’s unchanging hand. His hand is extend to all mankind we simply need to take hold of it and not let go.

Prayer for Today

Father I pray that glory of the Lord shine upon us and through us so that others will come to know You in a real and personal way. Father let your children demonstrate you in word, life and power. May we seek ways to allow your glory to be displayed in our lives for the advancement of the Kingdom. In Jesus name Amen!!!!

Strength of My Heart

Psalms 73:26 - My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.

As I deal with the passing of my grandmother I have come to know, even more, that God is the strength of my heart.  I am ever dependent upon Him to bring comfort and peace to my heart.  The sweet presence of God is healing for my heart. Oh how He loves us, ever present and ever loving.

Maybe you are dealing with an overwhelming circumstance or your heart is filled with grief. Will you allow God to strengthen your heart? You can lay your head in the Father’s arms and know that He will wipe the tears from your eyes give you sweet peace for your soul.

All Things Made by Him

John 1: 3 {AMP} All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.

What a wonderful thought to know that Jesus fingerprint is on everything we see.  As we admire the flowers, clouds, grass and even the bumble bees let it serve  as a reminder that Jesus was there in the beginning with God. Not one thing was made without Him that includes you and I. How amazingly awesome to know that His fingerprint is on our lives.  Today let’s be grateful for all creation including mankind.  Let’s pray for peace and that all men would come to value human life.
