No One Is Stronger Than God 

SEPTEMBER 10, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

John 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

    If you watch enough so-called Christian TV today you are bound to hear some Faith Healing Evangelists suggest if you are sick, it is because there is some sort of demon in you which needs to be cast out. Then again, if it is not a demon, you have some terrible mortal sin you need to confess. Some go on to tell you where their next meeting is going to be so you can come and be healed. (Hope you do not die in the meantime, because they also believe that if you sin, you lose your salvation.)

     However, this verse in the Bible tells us clearly sometimes trials and personal afflictions are not a result of our sin, or the result of the sins of others. The illness is also not a demon possessing us or even tormenting us. Occasionally, we are made to go through these things because God knows our character and that we will give honor and glory to Him even during these struggles. He knows many others may come to see Jesus by seeing Him in the life that you live in the midst of your trouble. They may have never seen Him in any other way.

     Do not fall into the money pit of lies which tells you just because you are in a bad situation you have lost your faith or have been possessed by some demon. If you are possessed by the Holy Spirit, a demon cannot get in there. Jesus says you are kept by the power of God in 1 Peter 1:5. Friend, no one is stronger than God. NO ONE.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

  Romans 8:38 & 39 really says it all. “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

The Only Way To Look Is Up

SEPT 09, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 65:3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

    Have you ever heard the phase “there is trouble on every side” or “trouble is everywhere?” In today’s world, it seems to be so. We turn on the radio and hear someone using vulgar language. On TV, sinful lifestyles are not only portrayed but also applauded. In advertising today, sex is used to sell everything from shampoo to underwear. Wickedness seems to prevail on the street, in our workplace, in our towns, and even now in some churches, which have seemingly turned a blind eye to the truths that are written in scripture. Sadly, with sin so prevalent in today’s world we find ourselves tempted, and yes even falling into some of this worldly life from time to time. However, for the true Christian this is quickly followed by a time of sorrow for our sin and shame in front of God and others

    The psalmist had the right feelings when he cried to the Lord “iniquities prevail against me.” His sin became an overwhelming burden to carry. Nevertheless, the last part of the verse can make the first part null and void by the blood of Jesus Christ.

    There are not a lot of places we can look any longer and not see sin, except up. Look up to Jesus. If you have trusted in Him as Lord and Saviour, the Bible says He is the Author and the Finisher of your faith. Ask Him for forgiveness, walk away from the sin in your life, and He shall truly, “purge them away.” Jesus paid it all.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    James Nicholson penned the words in a song by the same name that fits so well here. “Whiter than snow, yes whiter than snow; now wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.” Even so Lord Jesus. Amen.

It Is A Really Long Verse 

SEPTEMBER 08, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Isaiah 61:1-2 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

    Would you like to know about a real long verse in the Bible? It may not be long in the number of words used, but it sure is in the time to which it refers. Isaiah 61:2 talks about “the acceptable year of the LORD” and “the day of vengeance of our God.” Jesus read aloud these very words in the Synagogue in Luke 4:16-21. He read up to the point of where He said, “To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD” and then He stopped and closed the book. Why? Well in Luke 4:21 He answered that question when He said, “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.” “The acceptable year of the LORD,” or the first coming of the Lord had come. These people were faced with a choice. Believe Jesus was God in the flesh, or believe He was liar. They made the wrong choice and tried to kill Him.

We today are still faced with the same choice. The first part of the verse became fact in the person of Jesus Christ. However, there is a part to this verse yet to deal with. “The day of vengeance,” has not yet come. This will happen at the second coming of our Lord to the earth. A lot has happened between His first coming and the awaiting of His second coming. Nevertheless, just like part one is a fact of the past, part two is just as much a future fact. So, what will you do with this truth today? Will you accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour, or try to kill the idea of Him in your heart and believe He was a liar?

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus. His grace was sufficient then, but many rejected it. His grace is sufficient today. However, He will not always extend that grace. Now is the time. Today is the day of salvation.

Human Sexuality Or Human Sinfulness! 

SEPTEMBER 07, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Proverbs 7:27 Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

   “Human Sexuality” is a term used today to make sexual sin sound more sophisticated. It sounds more scientific than calling it what it is. Adultery is still adultery. Living together outside the bond of marriage is still sin in God’s eyes. Homosexual acts are called an abomination to God in the Bible. A child engaging in sex with adults is pedophilia. Any youth engaging in what God reserved for adults in marriage should outrage us. However, it does not. Instead, we are told they’re expressing their “Human Sexuality.” This is just another way for society to hide the truth. The truth is they are expressing their “Human Sinfulness.”

     God so much wanted to warn us about sexual sin that He listed it as part of the Ten Commandments. All of chapter seven in Proverbs warns of the snares of immoral behavior. Sexual sin is addictive, progressive, and destructive. It can destroy a person through destructive relationships, diseases, and addictions that will develop and control you. It causes mental anguish and shame. The ways of illicit sexual relations and addictions are as destructive as any other addictive device. “Her house is the way of hell.” First, there is the feeling of hell here on earth, as people feel bound by these sins strong hold. Then, there is a real eternal hell if they never give their life over to Christ.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

  If you are involved in sexual sin or find yourself struggling with sexual addiction, turn it over to God immediately. If you are saved remember, greater is He who resides in you than all the sin in all the world. Only God can free you from this sin. Find someone you trust and ask them to be a prayer or accountability partner to help in this matter. If you are not saved, ask Jesus into your heart today. He can set you free from all past sin and give you strength for tomorrow. Jesus is the Answer.

Isn’t He A Jewish God?  

SEPTEMBER 06, 2021

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

John 5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

THOUGHT ON GOD’S WORD:

  Have you ever tried to tell someone about Jesus, and they ask you a question like, “Do you believe in the God of the Old Testament or the God of the New Testament?” Maybe they did not say it in such a way. Maybe they asked, “Isn’t God and the Old Testament a Jewish God and Jewish book?” I have had people say before, “I never hear of Jesus in the Old Testament!” Another said, “I will only believe the words in red in my Bible, they are what Jesus said.”

    Friend, what a blessing it is for us to know that the God of the Old Testament and the New Testament are the exact same God. The God of the Jews is also the God of the Gentiles. Furthermore, in the red-letter words, Jesus claims the Old Testament was true. So, if we are only going to believe what Jesus says, we must believe the Old Testament is true and that all the Old Testament pointed to and spoke of the coming Messiah. Jesus was referred to in the promises to the Old Testament leaders and prophesies made by all the Old Testament Prophets. Jesus is the focal point of the entire Bible. It has been said that well over 300 prophecies of the Old Testament were fulfilled in one person. JESUS.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

  God said I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. What a complete sense of security we can have in a never-changing God. He will not treat us one-way one day, and then because he feels bad treat us another way tomorrow. He is just, fair, and true throughout all of scripture. He is the same God from Genesis to Revelations. We can have a wonderful assurance He will always be the same.
