Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

When Noah sent a dove out from the ark, it was looking for a place to rest.

Genesis 8:8-9 (NKJV) – “He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from the face of the ground. [9] But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.”

The story of the dove is an analogy about the Holy Spirit looking for a place to dwell. He is always searching for a resting place. Unfortunately, the dove found no place to land and had to return to the ark.

When God looks for a place to rest, are the hearts of His people open and is His church ready to receive Him? Is Inspire Church calling for Him to draw close and bless us? Our greatest earthly role is to provide our hearts as temples where the Holy Spirit can dwell.  

Come Holy Spirit! Rest upon us … dwell in us. May I never grieve Your precious Holy Spirit with bad attitudes, unbelief, or thoughts and deeds that would prevent You from resting among us.

Today, I’m worshiping with Leon Timbo and “Resting Place.”

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

Greetings,

In this broken world, filled with strife, negativity and doubt, what type of sounds are you projecting each day? Hopefully, it is the sound of victory! 

Acts 16:25 (NKJV) – “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.”

In spite of the pain that Paul and Silas were experiencing after the indignity of having been arrested, beaten, bound with chains and thrown into prison, the only words we hear from them are those of praise and worship to God. Not one word of grumbling, disappointment, pain, or fear was spoken! 

As they began to sing and bless the Lord, the prisoners heard their songs of praise. That must have been different from the response of most newly arrested inmates— and it made the others who were in jail sit up and listen. Paul and Silas’ worship changed the atmosphere inside a prison. The result was that not only were they set free, but so were the other prisoners! Revival broke out among hardened criminals. Even the jailer and his family were saved and baptized. Hmmm, I just wonder … if we worshiped more and grumbled less, would things change for the better in our lives too?

Dear Jesus, oh how I thank You for being my Savior! You are wonderful beyond words, beautiful beyond description, and amazing beyond comparison. I love You!

Today, I’m worshiping with Tasha Cobbs Leonard and “Release The Sound.”

Greetings,

Can you imagine how many times the people of God have tried and proven that His Word is true?

Psalm 12:6 (NKJV) – “The words of the LORD are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.”

The words of the old song go, “He has never failed me yet…Every promise He has kept.” We can rely upon the promises that God has given to us.

Father, in an unstable and unreliable world, Your Word has remained steadfast and true. I thank You that every syllable is as pure as refined silver. You have proven Your promises to me over and over again. I love Your Word!

Today, I’m worshiping with Jeremy Riddle and “You’re Beautiful.”

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

Greetings,

The biggest rewards come when we take the biggest risks. On one occasion, Jesus told His disciples to let down their nets into the ‘deep’ water:

Luke 5:4 (NKJV) – “When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch."

The deep means there is greater danger. Too many people want to play it safe by staying close to the shore. Even though they have never ‘stretched’ their faith, they can’t understand why they aren’t as greatly blessed as others.

Lord, I want to believe You for ‘greater’ things. I don’t want to play it safe the rest of my life or be content with mediocrity. Help me to stretch my faith, that I may accomplish much more for the Kingdom of God!

Today, I’m worshiping with Free Chapel and “He’s Been Faithful.”

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