Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

Is there a hereafter? In addition to the Bible assuring us that life does not end at death, countless people who have died and been resuscitated confirm that life does not cease when the heart stops beating. It continues.  

Proverbs 23:17-18 (NKJV) – “Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the LORD all the day; [18] For surely there is a hereafter, And your hope will not be cut off.”

We should never envy the unrighteous, but rather pursue the fear of the Lord with all the passion of our hearts. The fear of the Lord means to have great reverence and to be in awe of God. After all, life is but a vapor that appears for a little while and is soon gone. Then we go to our eternal reward. Living for God has dividends now and later.

Jesus, I thank You for caring so much for me, that You are not only interested in my life here on earth, but in me being with you forever as well. My hope is secure—because of You! Help me always live with eternity in mind.

Today, I’m worshiping with Hope Darsi and "To Love Like This.”

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

Greetings,

When God’s favor rests upon you, your life attracts and draws others to His blessings. No matter where you go, you’ll always stand out, because His blessings are constantly pursuing you.

Psalm 115:14-15 (NKJV) – “May the LORD give you increase more and more, You and your children. [15] May you be blessed by the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.”

After all, a God who can create countless worlds and the earth on which we live, is certainly big enough to bless and take care of us, regardless of what we are facing!

Dear Lord, I praise You for every blessing You have granted me, and those that are still coming my way. I declare that because of who You are, my best days are yet to come! You are a good God. I expect your favor and grace in my life to increase more and more. I love and worship You.

Greetings,

God wants to be our source of protection. While I appreciate having insurance, medication, hospitals, law enforcement, the military, and every other safeguard that helps make our lives more secure, I look to God as my ultimate Defender!  

Zechariah 2:5 (NKJV) – “For I,' says the LORD, 'will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.'"

When God’s glory abides with us, He becomes a wall of fire around us that doesn’t allow anything to penetrate and cause us harm. In these times of uncertainty and fear about many things, one of the best things we can do is to worship until God’s Presence surrounds us. The enemy can’t harm us when we are in the shelter of God’s Presence.

Lord, You are a Holy God. I worship and declare Your glory and praise. You are so beautiful to me, and I adore You!

Today, I’m worshiping with William Murphy and “You Are My Strength.”

Greetings,

The prayers of an intercessor can stop and reverse what would otherwise result in tragedy and sorrow. Notice what God said to Ezekiel:

Ezekiel 22:30-31 (NKJV) – “So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. [31] Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads," says the Lord GOD.”

You have the power to intercede for your family and friends—and even our nation! Did you know this passage of scripture actually referred to God’s search for an intercessor—for the nation of Judah? An intercessor can spare an entire nation from impending judgment!

Father, I pray today that You would spare our nation from Your judgment and wrath. Would you turn the leaders of our nation from their present course to You, oh God? Speak to all of us. Deal with our hearts, university professors, Hollywood entertainers, politicians, business leaders, Christian leaders, and those who have been leading our country in the wrong direction. Turn us back to the cross!

Today, I’m worshiping with Rebecca St. James and “Dawn.”

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