Good morning. Each and every one of us has a gift given by God. We are to use our gifts to glorify him. Our gifts are not to be used just inside the four walks of a church building, they are to be used everywhere we go and in everything we do. Let’s not sit on our gifts then wonder why we’re not being used by God.

1 Peter 4:10-11
God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.

Good morning. When we ask God for a Christ like mind we are asking that his desires become our desires. The Lord’s desire is that no one perish and that should be our desire too. The Lord’s desire is that the wicked turn back to him and live, that should be our desire too. We should never look at anyone and think they are useless and unworthy unless we are looking at ourselves. God’s grace loves the sinner, the unlovable, and the unworthy, so that includes us. We should thank God daily for delaying his return because it’s giving someone else a chance to be saved.

2 Peter 3:15
And remember, our Lord’s patience gives people time to be saved. This is what our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you with the wisdom God gave him—

Good morning. When trials come into our lives that is not the time to murmur and complain; that is not time to have a pity party and say why me Lord. That’s actually an opportunity for great joy knowing that our faith has a chance to grow. We have an opportunity to experience God’s mighty hand, to see how powerful he his. We have have an opportunity to stand on the word of God and watch the word come alive in our lives. Nowhere in the Bible does it say when trials come our way we are to faint, lose hope, change our character and act like the world, doubt God, or get worldly advice. Yet, sadly this is what many of us do at the slightest sign of trouble. Will we trust God today? Will we activate our faith and give it a chance to grow? Will we endure on today? Now is not the time to throw in the towel; for greater is he that’s in me than he that’s in the world.

James 1:2-4
Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

Good morning. It’s not good to talk too much. The Bible declares too much talking brings about sin. The Bible also declares we will give an account for every idle word we speak. In this season let’s learn to be quiet and learn to listen more. We don’t always have to say anything. We don’t always have to have the last word. Many times we can’t hear God because we’re too busy running our mouths. If we feel like we just have to talk, then we need to let the conversation be with God in prayer.

Proverbs 10:19
Too much talk leads to sin.
Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.

Good morning. We don’t ever want to get to a point in life where our sins make God so mad that he instructs people not to pray for us. We should never delight in sinning nor should we willfully keep turning our backs on God. God is a loving, compassionate, and good God; he’s slow to anger but when he becomes angry it’s a wrap. We cannot take God’s mercy and grace for granted; and please stop saying the Lord knows my heart like that’s a get out of jail free card. God is giving us every opportunity not to die in our sins, yet we keep provoking him and forcing his hand. We have to be careful how we treat God because we won’t be able to handle the backlash.

Jeremiah 11:14-15
“Pray no more for these people, Jeremiah. Do not weep or pray for them, for I will not listen to them when they cry out to me in distress. “What right do my beloved people have to come to my Temple, when they have done so many immoral things? Can their vows and sacrifices prevent their destruction? They actually rejoice in doing evil!

Good morning. In this season we must take a stand. Now is not the time to be carnal and appease the world. Now is the time to let the world know what we believe and who we believe in. We cannot be ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and our lifestyles will tell the story. Jesus has paid the ultimate price for us and the least we can do is serve him with our whole heart. We must stop thinking that we can be worldly and God is pleased with us. Let’s repent and get back in line.

Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.

Good morning. There’s no need to ever worry or fear because Jesus has given us power. Power to pray, power to speak the word over our lives, power to tread upon scorpions and serpents, power to lay hands on the sick and they recover, power to overcome the enemy, and power to stand in the midst of adversity. Many of us are walking around defeated, hopeless, and with hung down heads because we don’t utilize the power within us. We don’t realize that spirits are subject unto us and although this is good, this is nothing to rejoice over. The only thing we should be rejoicing over is the fact that our names are written in the book of life.

Luke 10:19-20
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Good morning. We know Satan’s objective in the world but we also know God’s objective for our lives. Since we know what God spoke over our lives we shouldn’t be concerned with Satan’s wishes. We need to start speaking what Jesus said. Whenever Satan comes to tempt us we must speak the word. When we see trouble on every side we must speak the word. When things don’t look like what God promised we must speak the word. We can’t speak the word if we don’t know the word. Therefore, we must read the word and meditate on it day and night.

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Good morning. Whenever we fix our mouths to lie we are not lying to people we are lying to the Holy Spirit. As children of God we shouldn’t want to be dishonest to anyone. Our Heavenly Father is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords; nothing gets pass him. If we find ourselves having a lying spirit we need to repent immediately and reach out to God for deliverance; for a liar won’t even tarry in the sight of God. In other words if we’re going to lie God doesn’t even want us in his face. We cannot allow anything to keep us out of the presence of the Lord.

Acts 5:1-4
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!”

Good morning. Is your character such that someone is willing to follow you and the God you serve? Or is your character such that people question if you’re a child of God at all? As children of God people should be able to see that Christ resides in us without us having to tell them we’re Christians. If we have to continue to tell people we’re Christians we have to check our character. The Bible declares the world will know we are his disciples by our love for one another.

Ruth 1:16-17
But Ruth replied, “Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD punish me severely if I allow anything but death to separate us!”
