Jesus Wants You
on May 3rd, 2023
In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness. Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me. Keep me free from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge. Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me,... Read More

Trust God’s Plan
on May 2nd, 2023
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. (2 Corinthians 1:3-5) ... Read More

Awakenings and Public Prayer
on May 1st, 2023
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. (Acts 2:42) We certainly need a Great Awakening in our country! We have to be willing to do our part to allow God to move in us and through us so that the awakening can spread. We learned that great awakenings start in our quiet times with the Lord. When these private devotions are accompan... Read More

Awakenings and Quiet Times
on April 30th, 2023
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off -- for all whom the Lord our God will call.” (Acts 2:38-39) The First Great Awakening occurred at Pentecost. God did an amazing thing that had never happened be... Read More

Fellowship
on April 29th, 2023
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. (1 Thessalonians 5:11) Have you noticed that all of Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances are primarily to groups? That is important; don’t miss this fact. In all of my decades of doing ministry and reading the Word, it suddenly jumped out to me that God wants to minister to His children in a group. If there was ever a... Read More

God’s Grace and Mercy
on April 28th, 2023
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:8-10) How would you answer the question, “How do I see God?” Many of us want to blame God for what is happening in the... Read More

How Does God See Me?
on April 27th, 2023
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:13) When you look at wrath and what is to come in the end times, you have to ask yourself, “How does God see me?” When He looks at me, does He see me like those who do not know Christ? Ephesians 2 tells us that “those who do not know Christ are objects of God's wrath.” I will tell you th... Read More

Patient Endurance
on April 26th, 2023
This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus. (Revelation 14:12) In other words, don't give up, walk on, and trust God and His timing. All of “God's saints need to be patiently enduring.” As believers, we are called to trust God, even when we don't understand it. Do you see God doing things that you don’t understand? Does i...

Steps and Stops
on April 25th, 2023
The steps of a godly man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. (Psalm 37:23) I love the story of A.T. Pearson, who was a great preacher of yesteryear. He had the privilege of opening the Bible of George Mueller, a great man of faith. In the early days of our country, Pearson raised millions of dollars to underwrite the care of orphans in his care. When Pearson opened the Bi... Read More

Focus on the Future
on April 24th, 2023
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” (Isaiah 43:18-19) For many of us, when we go through problems, we look back and say, “I can't change yesterday, but it would really help if I could.” If you could just go back and change the past or make dif...

Hope in Trials
on April 23rd, 2023
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9) What are you walking through right now? What circumstances are you facing? What trials and tests are you experiencing? As you answer these questions, are you wondering why y... Read More

Made To Lie Down
on April 22nd, 2023
He makes me lie down in green pastures… (Psalm 23:2) Have you ever been made to “lie down?” I mean really lie down. Have you ever had a situation where it appeared you were led to stop what you were doing and were forced to stay in one place? Not just any place, mind you, but a perfect place where nourishment would flood into your soul? I have! Years ago (in the middle of a fast-track ministry w... Read More
