Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

My grandmother used to teach me, “Be friendly to everyone, but choose your friends carefully.” That was great advice back then—and it still is today.

Proverbs 12:26 (NKJV) – “The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.”

The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your thoughts. If you want to change your conduct, you must first change your thinking. For that to happen, it sometimes helps to change your context. That could mean that you must change your companions.

Wrong companions will not allow you to change the way you think. They keep articulating the same wrong ideas. They influence you to think that way too. Until your thinking changes, your conduct will remain the same. If your conduct is not changed, your character will never improve. Wrong friends are sure to lead you astray!

Father God, bring the kind of people into my life who will help me better please You. Bring people around me who will help me aspire to the standards of kindness, godliness and goodness that I read in Your Word. I don’t want to be influenced by the wrong forces to think negatively or act incorrectly. I want to live a life that pleases You. I belong to You!

Greetings,

Sometimes, what we need is the rain of Heaven to fall upon us. There are times that extra finances or a miracle isn’t what matters most. What our hearts thirst for is the sweet rain of the Holy Spirit to fall upon our souls!

We can become like the dry, dusty ground in the summertime when it is so parched you can hardly remember the last time it rained. It seems as though our souls are dry, cracked, and lifeless.

Until God sends the rain, nothing seems to work right. Marriages are unproductive, we become irritable and short-tempered and everything we touch seems to wither. Lord, we need Heaven’s rain!

Hosea 10:12 (NKJV) – “Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the LORD, till He comes and rains righteousness on you.”

Father, send the rain of Your Holy Spirit upon us. Let it fall upon me! Rain upon my heart until I’m saturated with Your Spirit. Rain until my soul flourishes and is alive again. Rain until I thrive in Your presence once more. I need Your Spirit to rain upon me.

Today, I’m worshiping with Earnest Pugh and “Rain on Us.”

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

Greetings,

God never sleeps. His eyes are always upon His people to bless, encourage, and keep them safe.

Psalm 121:3 (NKJV) – “He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.”

At times, you might wonder if God even sees what is happening in your life. In a broken world such as ours, people can endure almost unbearable levels of stress and tension. If you’ve ever doubted that God cares, believe me, He does! Child of God, He is watching over you today and will not allow your foot to be moved.

So, look to Him as you pray. Trust Him to be your Source and Protector. He will never let you down!

Father, I thank You for always watching over me. You have always been faithful. Thank You for what You’ve already done for me and what You’re going to do as You guide and protect me today. I’m grateful that I don’t need to worry. You are my Shepherd. I love You, Lord!

Today, I’m worshiping with Natalie Grant and “Isn’t He.”

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

Greetings,

Do you ever feel spiritually weak? At times, does it seem that you are overwhelmed? It doesn’t have to be that way. You can be strong and stand tall--even in adversity. How is it possible to do this? By strengthening your inner man.

The best way to strengthen the inner man is to pray in the Holy Spirit. To do so, learn to pray until you break through the fleshly barrier into the realm of the Spirit. When you touch God, everything seems to change!

Jude 1:20 (NKJV) – “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,”

I used to hear folks say they had “prayed through” about a particular matter. When you’ve “prayed through” about something, there’s no need to worry about the outcome. You know that God heard you and it’s going to be all right!

Father, strengthen our inner man as You build our faith. Teach us how to break through and touch You when we pray. Our prayer time is much more powerful in those times than when we just utter words that are spoken in the general direction of the ceiling. In breakthrough prayers, we are rising up and taking action, as we are empowered by You! Angels are being released to work on our behalf. Nothing we face can withstand Your holy Presence!

Today, I’m worshiping with Tasha Cobbs Leonard and “Intercession.”
