Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

Concerning Israel, God said in Hosea 10:2 (NKJV) - “Their heart is divided; Now they are held guilty. He will break down their altars.”  

Many believers in our day have divided loyalties. They love God, but they also love the things of this world. God is calling us to whole-hearted devotion. The Apostle John warned,

1 John 2:15 (NKJV) - “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”

Does this verse mean that we should not enjoy the things that life has to offer? NO! Paul tells us:

1 Timothy 6:17 (NKJV) - “God gives us all things richly to enjoy.”

Our Lord wants us to enjoy His blessings, but our greatest love should be reserved for Him. Nothing else should ever rival the devotion that we have for our Savior. What is the opposite of a divided heart? It’s a steadfast heart that loves God and is fully committed to Him.

Lord, I pray that my heart will be wholly devoted to You today and always. I want to love You with ALL my heart, soul, mind and strength. You loved me enough to take my place on the cross. How could I ever love You less?

Today, I’m worshiping with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir and “Total Praise.”

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

Greetings,

God has been moving in America and the world. What He is doing at Inspire is extraordinary! Could that be because everyone has been praying? A broken economy, political upheaval, war and the uncertainty of our times have had a devastating effect on our world. It made us more aware of our need for God. People began to pray.

When Solomon prayed at the dedication of the temple concerning what would happen if Israel should forsake the Lord, this is how God responded to him:

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) – “IF My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Some have called the word “IF,” in God’s reply to Solomon, the world’s greatest possibility. He always stands ready to help us--IF the people of our nation will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways to Him. Let’s acknowledge our need of Him.

Our Mighty God, we do need You! More than words can possibly express, we need You. We must have Your help or this world will suffer even worse things than what we have already experienced. We repent for ever thinking that we could possibly live without Your assistance. In You we live, move and have our being. Be with us! Guide our decisions and help us to live by the principles of Your Word, for in them we find life.

Today, I’m worshiping with Kari Jobe and “Heal Our Land.”

Greetings,

Psalm 46:1-2 (NKJV) declares, “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. [2] Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.”

Did you read that? God is VERY PRESENT in times of trouble. When darkness surrounds us, we often question whether or not God is with us. The reason we can’t see Him, is because we find it difficult to see when it’s “dark.” That’s as true in the spiritual as it is in the natural.

But God doesn’t have a problem with His vision. In fact, some of His best work is done in the darkness. King Hezekiah went to bed one night really stressed about a huge army that had surrounded Judah. So, he decided to pray. That night, God walked into the enemy’s camp and killed 185,000 warriors.  When the sun came up the next morning, they were all dead.

Daniel spent the night in a lion’s den; but in the darkness of the night, God worked for him by closing the mouths of the lions!

Thank You, my Savior, for You are always with me. You are a very present help in times of trouble and difficulty. Even if this earth encounters such turmoil that mountain ranges disappear into the ocean, Your Word says that You will not forget or forsake me. I can trust You to be there, making a way for me and giving me joy throughout the process. You are with me, and I worship You!

Greetings,

Have the odds ever seemed to be stacked against you? Does it seem at times, that life has become impossible? While David was being pursued by Saul and his mighty army, David never forgot who his Protector was.

When the Ziphites betrayed David by reporting his hiding place to King Saul, he feverishly sought to kill David. There seemed to be no way David would survive—but he did!  Notice what David wrote:

Psalm 54:4 (NKJV) – “Behold, God is my helper.”

Since God cannot fail—and He’s on your side— when we trust in Him, how could it ever be possible for you to fail? With God’s help, David not only continued to elude Saul, he was able to thrive while enduring extreme pressure from his adversaries. During that time, he just kept drawing closer to God … and so can you! David wrote many of our favorite psalms during this season. Don’t let your troubles get you down.

People may betray you, talk about you, and try to hold you back, but we read in Romans 8:37 (NKJV) - “Yet in all these things we are MORE than conquerors through Him who loved us.”

When you’re in Christ, adversity cannot stop you unless you let it. It will only promote you! Just think of all that He has already brought you through!

Lord, I thank You for being my helper! Even though I can do very little about many of the things that I face in life, having You, the Lord of Angel Armies to help me, guarantees the outcome. So I praise You in advance. The battle is Yours, but the victory is mine.

Today, I’m worshiping with Marvin Sapp and “Never Would Have Made It.”

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