Good morning. The Holy Spirit is God’s promise of eternal life for those who believe in him. The Spirit is in us now by faith, and by faith we are certain to live with Christ forever. When the Holy Spirit is working within us, we will believe that Jesus Christ is God’s son and that eternal life comes through him. The Holy Spirit empowers us to serve God and do his will. The Holy Spirit helps us through daily problems when we pray. As a Christian we cannot complete this journey without relying on the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:9-11
But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.) And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

Good morning. Many of us have heard the saying ” if you’re looking for something you will find it”. Whenever we’ve heard that statement normally it was meant in a negative way. The things and information we find ourselves searching for in this life; do we really want to discover the information we’re seeking? We must ask ourselves what is the purpose for me searching out the things and information I do? Why must I know everything? There’s nothing wrong with being knowledgeable and having wisdom about things and people; just know that it comes at a price.

Ecclesiastes 1:18
The greater my wisdom, the greater my grief. To increase knowledge only increases sorrow.

Good morning. God watches how we align ourselves with unjust, unholy, and unrighteous people. He sees how we excuse their behavior by turning a blinded eye. We must stand for what is right and just. We don’t have to worry about if other people agree with us; we just have to make sure that God is pleased with us. It’s time to do right by God and stop trying to please man.

Psalms 82:2
How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked?

Good morning. Sometimes it seems like people who are not living for the Lord get away with everything. It seems like God is not punishing them for their sins and their lives are carefree. We have to stop looking at what they are doing and keep our eyes focused on the Lord. The Lord knows what he’s doing and nothing gets passed the Lord. No one is getting away with anything. So let God be God; and let us serve him with gladness.

Psalms 37:7
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Good morning. Children are just as valuable to the kingdom of God as adults. We should never push a child away from getting closer to Jesus. Jesus’ character drew children to him. Kids observe the character of adults and they know who’s real and who’s fake. If we are privileged enough to work with the children’s ministry in our various churches we should teach the kids everything about Jesus; instead of just sitting them in a room and giving them hotdogs and punch. We should take this opportunity to poor into them the word of God and be instrumental in giving them a godly foundation.

Matthew 19:13-15
One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could lay his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him. But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” And he placed his hands on their heads and blessed them before he left.

Good morning. The trials we’re going through are but for a moment; there will be glory after this. Hold on, God sees everything that we are enduring. He sees our tears, he knows our fears, he feels what we feel and trust and believe he’s got us. These trials we face actually shows us what’s within us; it exposes how much or how little faith we have. We need to determine within ourselves what we’re going through will be a faith-builder. We have to determine within ourselves no matter what it looks or feels like we will trust the Lord. So let’s remain strong and endure unto the day of Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 1:6-7
So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.

Good morning. God is in the restoration business. He wants to restore us back to him. He is giving us time to turn to him but we must hurry for time is running out; for none of us know when Jesus shall appear or when we will close our eyes in death. Let’s get back to the basics of serving God. Let’s get back to praying, fasting, and crying out to the Lord. God is compassionate and his love is unfailing. Let’s not waste anymore time being out of right relationship with God.

Joel 2:12-13
That is why the LORD says,
“Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Don’t tear your clothing in your grief, but tear your hearts instead.” Return to the LORD your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He is eager to relent and not punish.

Good morning. With injustices going on throughout the land please remember we serve a faithful God. He sees all and knows all and he will defend us. Yes it hurts when we feel like we’re not vindicated in our time but make no mistake about it; God’s timing is the best and he will set the record straight. He will rise up and subdue our enemies. No one is getting away with anything. We must trust that God knows how to deal with our enemies and the injustices of this world.

Psalms 12:5-8
The LORD replies, “I have seen violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor. Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed for me to do.” The LORD’s promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over. Therefore, LORD, we know you will protect the oppressed, preserving them forever from this lying generation, even though the wicked strut about, and evil is praised throughout the land.

Good morning. Do you give your all at work or do you try to get over? God isn’t pleased with lazy people; for they bring poverty upon themselves and they irritate their employers. The Bible declares; work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.

Proverbs 10:26
Lazy people irritate their employers, like vinegar to the teeth or smoke in the eyes.

Good morning. Nothing we do can be hidden from God. God knows our thoughts and our motives. The Lord knows what’s in the depths of our hearts. As we go through this journey called life and God shows us what’s really in us; let’s seek to keep the good he shows us and rectify the bad that’s within us.

Proverbs 20:27
The LORD’s light penetrates the human spirit, exposing every hidden motive.
