Thoughts on the decline of our Lifespan.
We see a continuing decline in the Lifespan of Humanity as we move from the initial span of eternity with a direct walk with the Almighty to the declining span of Adam, Seth, Noah down to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob down to the present day where we are to live for about 120 years and are living a…

Hello Pastors, leaders and sanctified men and women of God! The summer is a great time to share Christ as you walk at the beach or park. The increase in drug and alcohol abuse, anxiety, depression, and family conflicts is partially a result of the last year. It has made people more aware of their need for hope and help. As the outdoors is opened up, use the opportunity to show the love of Jesus! Also, let's remember to pray for Haiti as the country is…

"Highway to Heaven - It is Time to Learn to Fly"
One of the most tragic mistakes of Christianity has been to focus on the prophecies of judgment about the end of the age instead of fulfilling the commandment to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom. Gospel means "good news," and it is the greatest news the world has ever or will ever hear. When that greatest hope of all is articulated, no message on earth will have ever had a greater impact. It is time to take up this…

Forgiveness Heals
It’s easier to be bitter
Than to feel the pain of grief
It’s easier to be angry
Than look for true relief
It’s easier to blame someone
For all the sufferings
It’s easier to sit alone
When imperfect grace stings
But if my Lord I’d follow
I’ll not seek ease,…

When God Heals
When God Heals
When God comes to heal us
It’s final and complete
There is nothing that is lacking
When He meets us in our need
Whether it be in our body
Or the hurt within our soul
He will touch the point of need
And will truly make us whole
His healing is there for you
Just receive it from the Lord
Believe upon the living word
That you can be…

Meeting You Where You Are?
Daily Bible Verse & Prayer
Today's Verse - 2 Corinthians 7:1
Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God has blessed us with so many wonderful promises. He secured them by sending his Son "to conquer death and bring life and immortality to life" (2 Timothy 1:10). He will "transform our lowly bodies to be like his glorious body" (Philippians 3:21). He will take us home to be with him eternally, but until that day, he will live inside us, make his home in us, and reveal himself to us (John 14:20-23). He will make us more than conquerors and will not allow anything to separate us from his love (Romans 8:32-39). So what should our response be? We should offer him praise, but we must not limit our praise to just words (Colossians 3:16-17). God wants our lives to be pure, staying away from what is evil, vile, putrid, and corrupt (1 John 3:1-3). He wants us to do this, not so we can claim some moral superiority, but so that we can show him our adoration and reverence. In our desire to offer God praise, let's not forget that one of the greatest ways to praise him is to seek him in purity and holiness!
My Prayer...
Forgive me, Heavenly Father, for my sins. Purify my heart and cast out any foothold the devil may have in me because of my previous sin. Empower me to holiness and accept my life as an offering of praise and thanks to you for your amazing grace. In the name of Jesus, I offer you my heart, my life, and my all. Amen.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
What grand "Kingdom dreams" do you have for God's glory?
What incredible ideas can you imagine requesting that God would bring to fruition?
What are your expectations of heaven with God?
Now that you have stretched your mind a little, challenged your imagination a bit, and loaded up your expectations for the future, are you ready for some down-to-earth truth straight from the true Marvel of heaven, God Almighty?
God "is able to do immeasurably more" than any of that. God's "power at work within us" will do his glorious will and accomplish his eternal purposes, which far exceed what we can imagine, ask, or even believe. We must not set our sights too low and expect too little. We can live for God's glory and expect to see it at work in our lives as we live for him!

My Prayer...
O LORD, God of heavens and earth, my Abba Father and loving Shepherd, please stir my thoughts with your Spirit to dream bigger dreams and have higher hopes than my earthbound and selfish brain can imagine, then do more than that! Please give me a sense of wonder and expectation as I live for your glory in my life. In Jesus' name, I pray in expectation. Amen.

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
God is our comforter, sustainer, and LORD. Only his gracious presence and tender blessings can bring consolation and comfort to our restless and discouraged souls. Let's turn our hearts toward God, honestly confessing our sins, sorrows, and anxieties. Let's ask him to restore our passion, joy, and confidence in our salvation. As the apostle Paul told the Philippians when he wrote them from prison:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
My Prayer...
Almighty Shepherd, I need your consolation in my soul. The noise and confusion of my thoughts weary my spirit. The burdens and concerns I feel for others weigh down my heart. Please minister to me through your Comforter, the Holy Spirit. I need your comfort and peace to quieten my anxieties and worries. I ask for your presence and your grace to restore the joy of my salvation. I invite the Holy Spirit to work your comfort, peace, and joy into the fabric of my being. In Jesus' name, I ask for your help in finding grace in all I think, feel, and do. Amen.
