Good morning. No matter what’s going on in our lives we have to bless the Lord. When we lift the Lord’s name on high and praise him through our pain, it will be easier for others to join in on the praise. David declared; Oh magnify the Lord with me, let us exalt his name together. It’s hard to get people to magnify the Lord when they see us walking around like a defeated foe. So, let’s lift up our heads and act like we know who our father in heaven is. He’s wonderful, counselor, prince of peace, the almighty, the great I AM, Jehovah-Jireh our provider, Jehovah-Nissi our banner, Jehovah-Shalom our peace, and anything else we need him to be.

Psalms 34:1-3
I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Good morning. When we keep ourselves from evil no one can find fault in us. The Bible declares we should not let our good be spoken evil of. We have to make a conscious decision daily to stay away from foolish communication and evil deeds. We have to be on alert because Satan will use those close to us to try and trap us, and make us lose our witness. We must always keep in the forefront of our minds whats most important, heaven, wanting to see the Lord face-to-face; so we must keep the faith no matter what. Everyday won’t be easy but, if we give everything to the Lord, trust and depend on him; he will give us a way of escape.

1 Timothy 6:11-14
But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses. And I charge you before God, who gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who gave a good testimony before Pontius Pilate, that you obey this command without wavering. Then no one can find fault with you from now until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.

Good morning. Just because we live in a nation that’s forgotten about God doesn’t mean we have to forget about him. When we’ve experienced the goodness of the Lord and we understand who he is, that’s enough for us to serve him for the rest of our lives. God is going to deal with each godless nation and we don’t want to be in the number when calamity comes. We want to be found serving God and doing what’s pleasing in his sight. We don’t have to be destroyed; by not living the word, we choose to be destroyed.

Obadiah 1:15
“The day is near when I, the LORD, will judge all godless nations! As you have done to Israel, so it will be done to you.
All your evil deeds will fall back on your own heads.

Good morning. When we’re more concerned about money and material things more than we’re concerned about the Holy Spirit, it causes us to lie to the Holy Spirit. When we lie to the Holy Spirit, God doesn’t even want us in his face. When God doesn’t want us in his face destruction and death is sure to come. We better very careful before we open our mouths to spew lies before the Holy Spirit. Will this lie be the death of us or will God give us a chance to repent.

Acts 5:1-5
But there was a certain man named Ananias who, with his wife, Sapphira, sold some property. He brought part of the money to the apostles, claiming it was the full amount. With his wife’s consent, he kept the rest. Then Peter said, “Ananias, why have you let Satan fill your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself. The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling it, the money was also yours to give away. How could you do a thing like this? You weren’t lying to us but to God!” As soon as Ananias heard these words, he fell to the floor and died. Everyone who heard about it was terrified.

Good morning. We all have a sense of belonging. We want to belong to a family, a group of friends, a sisterhood or brotherhood, or some specific organization. It’s good to know that as believers we belong to the body of Christ and that God watches over us. Not only does he watch over us, he’s with us wherever we go. He’s with us in the good times and he’s with us in the bad the times, therefore, we have no reason to fear. No matter what we’re facing on today, we have the confidence of knowing that God won’t allow us to be consumed by the enemy; he won’t let the enemy prevail against us. God protects the ones he calls his own.

Isaiah 43:1-2
But now, O Jacob, listen to the LORD who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.

Good morning. It’s one thing to hear about God but, it’s another thing to have an experience with him for yourself. When we’ve only heard about God we have to rely on other people’s testimonies and their portrayal of who he is. However, when we’ve had an experience with God and get to know him for ourselves, no one can tell us what he can and cannot do. When we get to know God for ourselves he’ll blow our minds and we will see how foolish we were for letting someone else give us their version of the Lord. Seek to have an experience with God and not just a story about him.

Job 42:1-5
Then Job replied to the LORD:
“I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you. You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’ It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me. You said, ‘Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.’ I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes.

Good morning. As believers we come freely to God to confess our sins. We acknowledge our wrong, knowing, we serve a God that’s faithful and just to forgive our sins. Evil doers are afraid to walk in this light because they are not trying to change from their evil ways, and they don’t want their sins exposed. We must let our light shine before men, so they may see our good works and glorify God in heaven.

John 3:20-21
All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.”

Good morning. We must reevaluate how we love people. Those of us that are in Christ cannot pick and choose who we love. For, God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son. God loves us all and we make his name a reproach amongst men when we say; we love God in one breath and hate some people in the next breath. In fact, the Bible declares we are liars when we don’t follow God’s commands and claim to be his children. When are we going to stop lying? When are we going to start walking in truth? If we have a problem with loving others like Christ loves others, we need to place this on the altar and ask God to create in us a new heart and renew a right spirit in us. Let’s stop walking in error and fooling ourselves into thinking that God is pleased with us. Hating people is not apart of being holy or walking upright before the Lord.

1 John 4:20-21
If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers.

Good morning. How we display our representation of God affects how people choose to accept him or not. Are we taking being ambassadors for Christ serious? Do we care how we put the Lord on display? As an ambassador of Christ we will pay the price for being a stumbling block to those who are looking for Christ but our behavior makes them stray away; and we will be rewarded for showing the love of Jesus and drawing all men unto him.

2 Corinthians 5:20
So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”

Good morning. There comes a time in life when we have to take our own advice. That same confidence and no-nonsense attitude we had when we were helping other people in the midst of their storm is the same attitude we have to have in our storm. God is the same God we’ve been sharing with others in their misery. We have to speak life over ourselves and our situations. We have to keep telling ourselves; we’re coming out, we will not be ashamed, we’re more than conquerors, this is but a light affliction and God knows what he’s doing. Don’t allow your circumstances to change how you see God. He’s a good God when things are going well and he’s an even better God when calamity finds our address.

Job 4:3-6
“In the past you have encouraged many people; you have strengthened those who were weak. Your words have supported those who were falling; you encouraged those with shaky knees. But now when trouble strikes, you lose heart. You are terrified when it touches you. Doesn’t your reverence for God give you confidence? Doesn’t your life of integrity give you hope?
