Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

Have you ever been in a situation that made you doubt whether Jesus really cares about you? If so, you’re not the first to question His love during an extremely difficult situation.  

Mark 1:40-41 (NKJV) – “Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean." [41] Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."

Jesus was moved with compassion for at least two reasons. The first—and most obvious? He emphasized with the man’s pitiful condition and what he had already suffered. He knew that as a leper, the man could not associate with anyone, even with his own family. If a person came within twelve feet of leper, he had to cry, “Unclean!” This man had suffered rejection and being ostracized from his community.

The second reason that Jesus cared is less obvious. It was in regard to the man’s long emotional struggle concerning his relationship with God. Did God not care about him? When the leper saw Christ, who was God manifest in the flesh, he had already heard about Him healing others—but would God would care enough to heal him? This is why he questioned, “IF You are willing…?”

He doubted whether Christ would be interested in healing a miserable reject and outcast like a leper. But those doubts were soon transformed into belief when Jesus declared without hesitation, “I am willing; be cleansed!”

That’s God’s heart for you too. He loves you and He is willing to help, no matter the need.

Father, I thank You for Your great love for us. You were willing to give heaven’s best that we could be saved and remain with You for all eternity. I love You!

We must teach our children about God. While we may outsource other parts of their education to public or Christian schools, where they will be taught subjects such as math, English, and science, God requires us to be personally involved in the spiritual education of our kids.

Psalm 78:5-7 (NKJV) – “For He established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children; [6] That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children, [7] That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep His commandments.”

Father, help me to instill in the hearts and minds of my children the values that are taught in Your Word. Enable me to teach the ways of God to those I love. I want to instruct them how to love You and love Your Word with all their hearts! Transform me that I may set the kind of example with my life they would want to follow.

Greetings,

Hope is a strong and impenetrable stronghold the enemy cannot breach! We might be struggling to get by but if we hold on to hope, we will win before it’s over.

Zechariah 9:12 (NKJV) – “Return to the stronghold, You prisoners of hope. Even today I declare That I will restore double to you.”

Hope will carry you through the inevitable disappointments and challenges of life. No, this is not a perfect world—and it certainly isn’t heaven. Since it’s impossible to avoid problems in this broken place where we live, we should put our trust in God. By building strong faith in Him, He will keep us secure and steadfast! He will even restore to us double what the enemy has stolen.

Father, I thank You for the hope that You are giving me. I am secure in the stronghold of hope and faith that exists in You and nowhere else. That hope is the anchor of my soul.

Today, I’m worshiping with Zacardi Cortez and “You Don’t Know.”

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

Greetings,

Before Adam and Eve sinned, there were no ‘seasons’ in Eden. They enjoyed an unending, continual harvest. But when they disobeyed God’s command, the ground was cursed and it brought forth thorns. As an accommodation of grace, God provided them with a few weeks of harvest each year:

Jeremiah 5:24 (NKJV) – “They do not say in their heart, "Let us now fear the LORD our God, Who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season. He reserves for us the appointed weeks of the harvest."

When the earth is purged of sin at the end of time, Revelation 22, says that we will again enjoy continuous, unending harvests. But until then, we must actively engage in sowing love and righteousness, cultivating good works in faith, and reaping the rewards that God has promised to provide.

We are in harvest season—right now! In this time of increase and blessing, our loved ones are being saved and our prayers answered. If you will believe, the God of the harvest has reserved this time for you!

Oh Lord of the harvest, we pray for revival, NOW! I believe that my time for harvest has come, in Jesus’ Name! Let my prayers be answered and my service to You be rewarded.

Today, I’m worshiping with Covenant Worship and “Split the Sky.”

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