The Counsel of the Holy Spirit!

By

  The Counsel of the Holy Spirit “The counsel of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will make His covenant known to them.” — Psalm 25:14, MEV So many times when I’ve needed direction, God has spoken to me supernaturally. Whether it was a slow, emerging awareness of what I should do; a sudden burst of supernatural anointing that brought insight; or a dream in the night, the Lord spoke to me with the spirit of counsel. I know this is why I have come so far since I accepted Yeshua as Messiah—because I have been upheld, consoled, and directed by the counsel of the Holy Spirit. I want to encourage you to believe that God will personally counsel you. Oftentimes God’s people are not receiving the fullness of the counsel the Father has for them because rather than looking to the Father, they are looking, first and almost exclusively, to their friends for counsel. In other words, when faced with a problem, rather than looking to God about the issue, rather than praying about it, ra...

Deep Thoughts to Remember!

By

  Deep Thoughts to Remember Memorize and Meditate “ Young people, it’s wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do. ” (Ecclesiastes 11:9) “ Remember him before the door to life’s opportunities is closed and the sound of work fades… ” (Ecclesiastes 12:4) “ Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps and the golden bowl is broken. Don’t wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and the pulley is broken at the well. ” (Ecclesiastes 12:6) Soak your Heart These are the words of King Solomon, the richest and wisest person who ever lived. He had everything. After pursuing every endeavor imaginable, he came to the above conclusions. REMEMBER is the word he used repeatedly. We are going to give an account to God. Life’s opportunities will come to an end. We are wise to  remember  our Creator before the “silv...

Be Bold For Jesus!

By

  Be Bold for Jesus “What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.” — Matthew 10:27 Friends, there is no such thing as a secret Christian. There is no such thing as a believer who never shares his faith. When Jesus was on this earth, one of the last instructions He gave was for us to “go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15). That is the Great Commission, and it is for everyone. You and I have an assignment on the earth to be bold witnesses for Jesus. We are called to extend and expand the kingdom of God. Jesus said in today’s verse that we are to shout from the rooftops whatever He whispers in our ears. The apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:20 that we are Christ’s ambassadors, entreating the world to be reconciled to God. And Jesus said in Matthew 5:13–14 that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world, so we ought to let our light shine. In these passages ...

God Rewards Those Who Seek Him!

  God Rewards Those Who Seek Him Memorize and Meditate “ And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. ” (Hebrews 11:6) Soak your Heart The first step in soaking our heart in God’s Word is to memorize and meditate on it. The above verse is one we want to sink ever-so-deeply into our heart. Faith in God’s existence is key in developing a living relationship with our Creator through the person of Jesus Christ. All of creation “screams” of his existence when we think of the complexity and vastness of the universe… when we contemplate the intricacies of the human body, including the fact that an eyeball has 2 million moving parts, and the eye can see 10 million colors. Only God could create something this complicated. Most importantly is the promise he rewards to those who seek him. Wow! I want that! So I will seek God! How do I do that? I immerse myself in his Word. Sow to the Sp...

God Rejoice Over You!

  God Rejoices Over You “The Lord your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.” — Zephaniah 3:17 I think it can be hard for us as human beings who face tragedies and hardships to truly grasp how much God loves us. I know it is for me. We’re faced with so many challenges in this world. We see so much suffering around us, so many people in pain, so much divorce, so many people who have been betrayed in relationships. We are surrounded by darkness, and when we live in this world for long, we can become jaded by it. Then we read a verse like Zephaniah 3:17 that tells us the Lord loves us so much He is shouting over us. His banner over us is love (Song of Sol. 2:4). To believe God loves us with such abandon truly requires a paradigm shift that takes our eyes off the spiritual darkness we encounter in this world and onto the pure light of God’s supernatural love for us. Beloved...

  Call on God and He Will Answer Memorize and Meditate “ ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’ ” (Jeremiah 33:3) What a wonderful Spiritual M & M to memorize and meditate on! Almighty God says he will answer us if we call on him. Not only that, but he will show us great and mighty things we do not know. This is an incredible promise! Soak your Heart This is what I call a “Button Pusher” verse in that it stimulates me to do whatever is necessary to make the message personally operative in my life. In faith, I claim this promise from God. I want to soak, soak, and soak in this verse. Sow to the Spirit Pray this verse and recite it to God, saying you believe he will answer when you call in faith and in accordance with his will. Pray:   God, you have made this promise to me. I expect you to answer in your way and time. I am reading your Word discovering more about you, so I can ask for what is in accordance with your ...

Exodus 4:18-31

By

  Introduction Exodus 4:18–31: Moses returns to Egypt, taking his wife and sons with him. Aaron meets Moses in the desert, and together they return to Egypt to confront the king. Aaron gathers the Israelite leaders and tells them everything the LORD had said to Moses. Today’s Key Verse: Exodus 4:21a GNT Again the LORD said to Moses, “Now that you are going back to Egypt, be sure to perform before the king all the miracles which I have given you the power to do.” Read 18  Then Moses went back to Jethro, his father-in-law, and said to him, “Please let me go back to my relatives in Egypt to see if they are still alive.” Jethro agreed and told him good-bye. 19  While Moses was still in Midian, the Lord said to him, “Go back to Egypt, for all those who wanted to kill you are dead.”  20  So Moses took his wife and his sons, put them on a donkey, and set out with them for Egypt, carrying the walking stick that God had told him to take. 21  Again the...
