“Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, said the LORD of hosts.” (Zechariah 4:6 AKJV)

God can do in a heartbeat what we couldn’t do in a million years. Put your faith in God. He can do it.

“But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33 AKJV)

It is more important to be righteous than to be practical. Don’t compromise. Stand on God’s Word no matter what the world may say.

Tuesday, February 17, 2009

“Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.” (Psalms 141:3 AKJV)

This prayer would save all of us a lot of trouble. Let the Lord direct your thoughts and your words.

“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” (Revelation 20:11-12 AKJV)

This is a picture of eternity. Are you ready to stand before God? Is your name in the book of life?

Thursday, February 19, 2009

“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:14-15 AKJV)

Eternal punishment is for real. Give your life to Jesus before it is too late. He is your only hope for Heaven.

Friday, February 20, 2009

“Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day on the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall split in the middle thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.” (Zechariah 14:3-4 AKJV)

Jesus is coming back. Are you ready? He alone is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Saturday, February 21, 2009

“He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. He tells the number of the stars; he calls them all by their names.” (Psalms 147:3-4 AKJV)

God is personal and He is awesome. He cares about you. Cast your cares upon Him.

Sunday, February 22, 2009

“Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul to you.” (Psalms 143:8 AKJV)

Here is a great prayer to begin your day. Pray it now.

Monday, February 23, 2009

“You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy. But I say to you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you, and persecute you;” (Matthew 5:43-44 AKJV)

Jesus has a supernatural message because He is the Son of God. Only He can truly change the human heart.

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” (Matthew 5:17 AKJV)

Jesus does not do away with the law of God. He confirms it. He shows us our great need to be forgiven by God because of our sin which the law points out to us.

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8 AKJV)

If you want to experience God, seek to be pure. Confess your sin and seek His forgiveness.

Thursday, February 26, 2009

“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 4:17 AKJV)

If we turn to God we must by necessity turn away from sin. We can’t have it both ways.

Friday, February 27, 2009

“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4 AKJV)

We must not forget that we are first and foremost spiritual creatures. Feed your soul. Read your Bible.

Saturday, February 28, 2009

“Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, Yes, has God said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” (Genesis 3:1 AKJV)

The devil’s ploy to make people sin begins by questioning the Word of God. Believe God’s Word and save yourself a lot of trouble.

Sunday, March 1, 2009

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1 AKJV)

This verse sets the table for understanding life. This is God’s world and we are His guests.

Monday, March 2, 2009

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis 1:27 AKJV)

You are made in the image of God. You have a soul. You can fellowship with the Creator of the Universe. You are very important in God’s eyes.

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

“And God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Genesis 1:28 AKJV)

Man is to rule over things not things over man. We were commanded to be fruitful and multiply. We are not in the way. God’s plan is clear.

Wednesday, March 4, 2009

“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall join to his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24 AKJV)

This is the building block for family and civilization. It’s really not that hard to understand.

Thursday, March 5, 2009

“Enter you in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14 AKJV)

The way to Hell is easy to travel. The road to Heaven is narrow. Which road are you traveling?

Friday, March 6, 2009

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you:” (Matthew 7:7 AKJV)

The Lord invites us to pray. He will answer prayer.

Saturday, March 7, 2009

“But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33 AKJV)

Pursue holiness and God will take care of you. What a wonderful promise!

Sunday, March 8, 2009

“And Lot went out, and spoke to his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked to his sons in law.” (Genesis 19:14 AKJV)

Take heed to the warnings of God. He is not kidding. There is a judgment coming. Think it over.

Monday, March 9, 2009

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” (Matthew 6:24 AKJV)

You can’t stay neutral. Are you with God or against God? Your obedience to God will answer that question.

Tuesday, March 10, 2009

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:” (Matthew 6:19-20 AKJV)

Real wealth is deposited in the bank of Heaven. Are you making deposits that will last?

Wednesday, March 11, 2009

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Matthew 6:21 AKJV)

Your bank transactions will show you your priorities. Would God be pleased? Are you pleased? Think it over.

Thursday, March 12, 2009

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:” (Matthew 6:14 AKJV)

Forgiveness should be a characteristic of every Christian. Do people see Jesus in you?

Friday, March 13, 2009

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, which built his house on a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell not: for it was founded on a rock.” (Matthew 7:24-25 AKJV)

We must do more than just hear and know the will of God. We must do the will of God. Is your life built on solid ground?

Saturday, March 14, 2009

“Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21 AKJV)

Being a Christian is more than just saying you are one. Christians obey the Lord and others will be able to see Him in us.

Sunday, March 15, 2009

“Honor the LORD with your substance, and with the first fruits of all your increase: So shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst out with new wine.” (Proverbs 3:9-10 AKJV)

God will take care of His own if His own will honor Him by giving back to God first. Obey the teaching above and experience God’s blessing on your life.

Monday, March 16, 2009

“But when Jesus heard that, he said to them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go you and learn what that means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” (Matthew 9:12-13 AKJV)

We all need the healing touch of Jesus but He can only help those who will acknowledge their need. Are you ready? He is.

Tuesday, March 17, 2009

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 AKJV)

We don’t know what is best. God does. Give your life to Him and trust Him completely.

Wednesday, March 18, 2009

“My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction: For whom the LORD loves he corrects; even as a father the son in whom he delights.” (Proverbs 3:11-12 AKJV)

God’s discipline is an act of God’s love. It is great to have the God of the universe to be our loving and concerned Heavenly Father. Have you committed your life to Jesus so that you can have God not only as your Creator but also as your Savior and Lord?

Thursday, March 19, 2009

“But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.” (Matthew 9:36 AKJV)

You are not just a number to Jesus. He cares about you. Give your burden to Him today.

Friday, March 20, 2009

“The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.” (Psalms 12:8 AKJV)

Exalting sin and those who promote it hurts us all. Let’s stand for holiness and make this world a better place.

Saturday, March 21, 2009

“Help, LORD; for the godly man ceases; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.” (Psalms 12:1 AKJV)

Thank God for the faithful and loyal people who make this a better world. If they were not here this would be a sad state of affairs. Be godly and encourage others who seek to walk with God.
