Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

When you first give your heart to God, one of the lies that the enemy will tell you is that you must now be perfect. Of course, you will sometimes fail. When you do and come to realize that you’re still living in a weak and imperfect body, he will loudly declare that you’ve sinned, and therefore God will sternly reject you. Satan’s next tactic will be to make you feel overwhelmed with shame.

How do you defeat these lies of the enemy? One way is to live in a continual state of humility before the Lord. All we have to say is, “Lord, I thank You that I stand forgiven. Forgive me any time I have failed You. I thank You for grace.”

David sinned horribly, but he found mercy. That was before Christ had come to earth to atone for our sins. How much more is forgiveness available to those who stumble today after what Jesus did on the cross? When you’ve blown it, don’t listen to the enemy. Instead pray as David did:

Psalm 51:1 (NKJV) – “Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions.”

Father, today I thank You for the blood of Jesus that cleanses my heart from all sin and unrighteousness. Forgive me where I have failed You. I thank You today that I am clean in Your sight. Not because of anything I’ve done, but because of the sacrifice of my Lord and Savior.

Today, I’m worshiping with Donnie McClurkin and “Create in Me a Clean Heart.”

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

Greetings,

Over the many years, from the days long before the psalmist David until now, song writers have tried to describe how wonderful God is. In spite of their eloquence and passion, words still fall short of describing our Lord’s love, magnificence and glory. We cannot help but be overwhelmed when we think about Jesus leaving the splendors of heaven to allow us to experience the riches of knowing Him.

This scripture is one of my very favorites:

2 Corinthians 8:9 (NKJV) – “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”

Think about that. For our sakes, He became poor! That’s what He did for every one of us! Doesn’t that amaze us?

Lord Jesus, I thank You for all that You have done for me. I am in awe of Your sacrifice. You did it all that we might become the children of God! Such love and devotion are too glorious to comprehend. I love You!

Greetings,

God wants you to be blessed today—in every area of your life! This is what His Word declares:

3 John 1:2 (NKJV) – “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in ALL things and be in health, just as your soul prospers:”

Did you notice that God wants us to prosper in ALL things? Just as He desires for our souls to prosper, He also wants us to be healthy and well. It is a lie from the fallen one that our Heavenly Father would prefer for us to limp along spiritually, or that He wants our marriages, finances, health, and the other areas of our lives to be lacking and inadequate. God wants to bless us—period!

Lord, I worship and thank You in advance for every blessing that is coming my way. You always have my best interests at heart. Blessings are coming to every area of my life because You have declared that is Your will. Knowing this is what You desire for me, by faith I can agree with Your Word and declare, “This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it!”

Today, I’m worshiping with Phil Thompson and “Atmosphere Shift.”

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

Greetings,

Have you ever noticed how many of God’s blessings are connected with “His House?” David called this the “fullness” of God’s House, where we are able to drink from the river of God’s pleasures.

Psalm 36:7-8 (NKJV) – “How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. [8] They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.”

The enemy clearly does not want us to be satisfied as we live for God. He wants us to experience emptiness. That’s because he can use emptiness to our harm by enticing us to fill the void on the inside with other things. Just as you are less tempted to eat something you probably shouldn’t when you are full, the wrong things are far less attractive when our hearts are satisfied in God.

We find rivers of delight in the House of God. He satisfies us like nothing else can when we gather together in corporate worship. The radiance of His beauty and love captivates, and then satisfies our deepest longings. No wonder the enemy opposes you each time you make an effort to be committed in worshiping at God’s House!

Father, I want to be satisfied with the fullness of Your house. Nothing else meets the longings of my heart so completely. You alone can fill the emptiness we all experience within. What a God You are! How marvelous, how glorious! How worthy You are of my praise.

Today, I’m worshiping with Morgan Faleolo and “Touch of Heaven.”
