Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

 Why is God so good to us? It’s because His nature is to be good and also because of the great love that He has for each one of us. When you truly love someone, you cannot help but want them to do well. As Jesus declared in the Gospel of John,

John 3:16 (NKJV) – “For God soloved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

Someone once said, you can give and not love, but you can never love and not give. God loved us so much, “He gave.” When we love others, we want the best for them.

Thank You, my Lord, for being good and for loving me so much, You were willing to give everything for me. I receive Your favor and blessings today. I am so thankful! Help me to show that same love to others.

Today, I’m worshiping with Kurt Carr and “Bless Somebody.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!

Greetings,

How much worship is enough? How do we know when we’ve given God enough praise? Scripture instructs us to:

Psalm 150:2 (NKJV) – “Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!”

When our praise is equal to His greatness we will have given Him the praise that He deserves. That could seem like an impossible assignment. After all, He is greater and more wonderful than we could ever comprehend. Notice the words of this psalm:

Psalm 106:2 (NKJV) – “Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can declare ALL His praise?”

Who can declare ALL His praise? There aren’t enough hours in the day to give Him all the praise He deserves. That’s why scripture tells us:

Psalm 113:3 (NKJV) – “From the rising of the sun to its going down, The LORD's name is to be praised.”

Father, today I praise You with my whole heart. You are worthy of much more praise than I am able to give You as a mere mortal. I want to spend this day praising You for being far more than just “good” to me! You are the best thing that has ever happened in my life. I love You!

Greetings,

What should we do as believers when laws are passed that oppose scripture? I’m referring to laws such as those for abortion or other things the Word of God is against. This is a dilemma. What position should we take when it is an election year and a candidate adopts a platform that is contradictory to the Law of God? These are challenging issues. As believers we must stand against these things in love, but as we stand in truth!

Psalm 94:20-23 (NKJV) – “Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, Have fellowship with You? [21] They gather together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood. [22] But the LORD has been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge. [23] He has brought on them their own iniquity, And shall cut them off in their own wickedness; The LORD our God shall cut them off.”

The ‘throne’ in Verse 20 refers to the legal system. As believers, we should love everyone, even those who do wrong. But regarding the legal system, remember that just because laws are passed that condone evil, it does not mean those laws are approved by God. As His children, we must also obey the laws of His Kingdom. They supersede the laws of man. In verse 23, God promises to judge those who violate His Law. He alone is qualified to do so and His judgment can be very severe!

As believers, how should we respond to ungodly rulers? There are elections in which we are forced to choose between the lesser of two evils. When that happens, we must remember to: (1) stand on the values of God’s Word; (2) pray; and (3) encourage more believers to become engaged politically. If more godly leaders will rise up and stand together, we can change our nation!

Father, I pray that You will guide us. Take control of our political and legal systems so that righteousness may prevail in our nation. Help believers to stand for righteousness in love. Cause us to embrace the principles of Your Kingdom in order that our nation can be blessed. In Jesus Name

Greetings,

Never believe that you are powerless, no matter how terrible the situation you may be facing is. Why? Because, as a child of God, you are stronger than your wildest dreams!

Acts 1:8 (NKJV) – “But you shall receive POWER when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

The Greek word for ‘power’ is dunamis. In our day, it would be translated as ‘dynamo’ or ‘dynamite.’ When God took up residence in your life, you became the temple of the One who created the universe. Imagine what that means! You are not a weak or insignificant person; you are strong and powerful beyond imagination! It’s the enemy who whispers that you are weak and cannot help but fail.

Lord, I thank You for living inside of me. Thank You for giving me the power to overcome, to change the world that I live in and to be a witness to others. Help me live by the power of Your Holy Spirit and not by my own strength.

Today, I’m worshiping with Jesus Culture and “Break Every Chain.”

We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
