Stay inspired in the word.

Greetings,

Believers who do not understand the merciful nature of our God are troubled by this scripture:

Psalm 66:18-20 (NKJV) – “If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear. [19] But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. [20] Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me!”

What does it mean to ‘regard iniquity’ in my heart? Does it mean that if I ever do anything wrong, that God will no longer answer my prayers? No! Everyone makes mistakes. But if we choose to sin instead of living righteously, or desire the world rather than God, our prayers will no longer be effective.

Father, I thank You for Christ’s sacrifice at Calvary and that He died in my place. Because of His blood, I can overcome sin and be in right standing with You!

Today, I’m worshiping with Richard Smallwood and “Calvary.”

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

Greetings,

A simple encounter with God in worship can change your life!

Proverbs 16:6 (NKJV) – “In mercy and truth Atonement is provided for iniquity; And by the fear of the LORD one departs from evil.”

The Bible says that the ‘fear’ of the Lord causes us to depart from evil. What does that mean? This type of fear refers to reverence for God, or to be in ‘awe’ of God.

In Isaiah, chapter 6, the prophet’s life was radically transformed when he saw the Lord, high and lifted up. Apparently, Isaiah’s speech had been unclean because this encounter with God cleansed his lips!

Can you imagine what would happen if each of us had such a personal encounter with God and just our speech was impacted? Wouldn’t the world be a much better place if the only thing we got from an encounter with God was that everyone began to speak words that were kind and encouraging?

Father, we desire to know You and lift You so high, that You will be enthroned in our praise. We desire to worship You with all of our hearts!

Today, I’m worshiping with One Voice Children’s Choir and “I Can Only Imagine.”

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

Greetings,

Have you ever noticed the connection between the Presence of God and prosperity?

Psalm 132:13-16 (NKJV) – “For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: [14] "This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. [15] I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread. [16] I will also clothe her priests with salvation, And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.”

Wherever God’s Presence is enthroned and His principles are practiced, poverty will soon be banished. When we seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, all the other things we desire will become bonuses.

But if we seek other things first—instead of God’s Presence, life becomes a daily struggle. When we do not exalt Him, we must deal with unrighteousness, fear, and discord, then the terrible by-products of poverty and emptiness.

Father, I claim the blessings and prosperity of Your Kingdom over my life and family today. I will honor and live by the principles of Your Word. Help me to live under an open heaven of favor.

Today, I’m worshiping with William McDowell and “Hymn of Praise.”

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

Greetings,

Did you think to speak God’s blessings upon you and your family today? If not, why not form a new habit and begin each day with prayer, reading the Word of God, and speaking blessing, favor and abundance upon yourself and your family!

Proverbs 18:20 (NKJV) – “A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled.”

Whatever your lips speak is what your life becomes full of. So, how does that work? God has placed within us that same power He used to speak the worlds into existence. And that’s how we speak our world into existence with the words we say! Speak faith and peace, joy and hope, and love and comfort.

Father, today I speak abundant blessings, unparalleled favor, and undeserved grace and protection over my life and my loved ones. Thank You for giving us such amazing power!

Today, I’m worshiping with Anthony Brown and “Praise Him.”

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