Thoughts on the decline of our Lifespan.

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 - 1 Corinthians 12:14

Now the body is not made up of one part but of many.

1 Corinthians 12:14

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

The human body is an amazing arrangement of parts, members, vital organs, systems, and interdependent structures. When the body is healthy, these many different organic structures and systems work together, and the human body can do amazing things. The same is true with the Body of Christ! As long as we each do our part and offer our gifts and abilities for the good of the whole, Christ can do amazing things through us! Both the Body as a whole, functioning as the presence of Christ, and each structure and system and part working as it is gifted to do are essential and interdependent. You, in your role, using your giftedness and fulfilling your purpose, are essential if we, the Body of Christ as a whole, are going to be able to serve the world as Jesus' presence among people he longs to seek, serve, and save!

My Prayer...

Holy and loving Father, please help us each know our place and purpose in the Body of Christ so we can serve faithfully and productively to seek, serve, and save those in the world who need to know your Son's grace and so we can bring glory to you, dear Father. May the Holy Spirit guide us as we use the giftedness the Spirit gave us, we pray. Amen.

Today's Verse - 1 Corinthians 12:13

For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body — whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free — and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

1 Corinthians 12:13

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Do you know what makes us family? In God's family, the Holy Spirit makes us one. We are made a child of God by our new birth into his forever family by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is God's presence and power in us and God's spiritual DNA that connects us to each other and to our Father. This spiritual bond transcends human family, race, nationality, gender, and all other human barriers. The Spirit's presence ensures we are God's children and enables us to function as Jesus' Body here on earth.

My Prayer...

Thank you, dear Father. Thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for making my body a holy dwelling for your presence through the Holy Spirit. Thank you, LORD Jesus, for pouring out the Spirit on me and making me new. I ask, dear Father, that the blessed Holy Spirit continue to work in my heart to tear down any wall of prejudice that may exist toward any of my brothers and sisters in Christ. I pray that the Holy Spirit makes us one here on earth, just as the reality of our oneness is true with you in heaven. I pray this in the one who died to make us one in him. Amen.

Today's Verse - Romans 12:12

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Romans 12:12

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

How can we keep our circumstances from determining our mood?

How can we emancipate ourselves from the limitations that life deals us?

The last in this trio of commandments from Paul opens the door for the other two to be true — we can rejoice in hope and be patient in affliction because we have been faithful in prayer. No matter our situation, we can pray joyfully because of our hope in Christ. We can remain patient, persevering through affliction, by presenting our requests and intercessions to God with thanksgiving. Prayer is God's gift to us so that we can be patient and joyful, even when things don't appear to be going well. We can be joyful in hope and patient in affliction because we are faithful in prayer!

My Prayer...

Father, I thank you because no matter my struggles, you assure me of my ultimate victory in Christ Jesus. I thank you, dear God because no matter the hardship or burden I face, I know you will help me through it and bring me into your presence with great joy. So until that day of ultimate and victorious joy, please ransom my heart from discouragement by the power of hope from your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name. Amen.
