Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

Do you ever become weary of  facing the many problems you encounter in this broken world? Do you ever become exhausted with the tests and trials, disappointments, and setbacks that come with life? Of course! We all do, but here is a promise we can stand upon:

Isaiah 43:2 (NKJV) – “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.”

God did not say, “if” you go through difficult places, but “when!” We are living in a broken world that is ruled over by a fallen lord. Therefore we are sure to encounter a host of obstacles along the way. Our enemy’s sworn objective is to cause us conflict, loss and pain. He is constantly creating new challenges and difficulties, all in hopes of making us stumble and fall.

But now the good news: we are not alone! God is our constant companion. He is our strength in the middle of every problem and situation. We don’t have to deal with them by ourselves. He will always be with us!

Lord, I thank You for being an ever present help in time of trouble! That’s better than having an army to defend me. It’s better than owning a hundred banks and having my own team of medical specialists to take care of my health. You are an amazing God. I love and praise You.

Today, I’m worshiping with Israel and “It’s Not Over.”

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

Greetings,

God never speaks a Word that fails to accomplish what He has said. How is that possible and why is that so? Every Word that He has ever spoken is like a seed that contains within it the ability to fulfill its potential and reproduce itself.

Luke 1:37 (AMPC) – “For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.”

A tiny acorn contains the potential to reproduce a massive oak tree exactly like the one from which it came. In the same way, God’s Word contains the ability to fulfill everything that He has ever promised. His Word, which is powerful beyond imagination, holds the key to your next breakthrough.

Faith is simply agreeing with God and sharing the conviction that what He believes about Himself is true. Faith takes the seed off the shelf, plants it in the soil of our hearts, and then activates what He has promised. This is why trusting in God’s Word is so impactful in our lives!

Father, increase my faith by increasing my understanding of who You are, and what You know to be true about Yourself. Help me to have the same convictions about You that You also hold regarding Your divine nature. You don’t question Your authority, nor do You question Your love for me. You are never in doubt regarding Your ability or power. Why should I question any of these things either?

Today, I’m worshiping with Israel Houghton and “Alpha and Omega.”

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

Greetings,

Habakkuk tells us that the knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters do the sea. It might seem like that couldn’t possibly happen because the hearts of so many people lack an understanding of God, but without question, a great awakening is coming to our world! Could this be the year when it really begins? Could it begin in you or in me? God has been doing great things recently at Inspire!

Zechariah 2:11 (NKJV) - "Many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.”

Not only does God want to visit our world, He wants to dwell among us. Think how much that would benefit humanity! Our God, who is perfect in all His ways, has never faced a problem that He couldn’t solve abiding with us? He can do anything!

Humanity rightly keeps trying to fix the problems our world is facing. Sadly, we keep trying to do it without God’s help. By leaving Him out, our flawed nature keeps getting in the way. It causes us to stumble and fall.

Father, come and dwell among us. Awaken our world! Let Your Presence sweep from the north to the south and from the east to the west, until the Glory of the Lord covers the earth as the waters cover the sea! Our Lord, You who has never lost a battle, let this awakening begin in me!

Today, I’m worshiping with Tauren Wells and “Never Lost.”

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

Greetings,

We all know that while Christ wants to unite us, Satan seeks to divide us. This is how Paul describes what Christ does for His people:

Galatians 3:26-28 (NKJV) – “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. [27] For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. [28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

This is Jesus’ explanation for division:

Matthew 12:25 (NKJV) - “But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.”

Just as a marriage or family cannot thrive when there is division, neither can a company, a church, a sports team, an army, a government, or a nation. Division is the work of the enemy. God’s desire is that His people to bring healing to a divided world.

Father, You have made us one. I ask that You would help us understand how to put this revelation into practice in our daily lives. My prayer is that You would help all humanity experience a revelation of how division is working against us. Cause Your Kingdom to prosper by showing all of our brothers and sisters how to live according to the principles of oneness that You teach in Your Word. Let it begin in me.

Today, I’m worshiping with Josie Buchanan and “Whatever Your Plan Is.”  

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