HELP ME BE A BETTER PERSON

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming--- not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins."  Hebrews 10:1-2  (N.I.V.)

"First he said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them"--- though they were offered in accordance with the law. Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second. and by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all..."   Hebrews 10:8-10


PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You for Your Word and those who teach and preach it! In the name of Jesus help me to understand it and share it with others boldly and confidently. Let my own life reflect the blessings that are for everyone who receives You and Your Word. Let my life be the proof of Your truth that sets Your people free from guilt and condemnation. Thank You for love, joy and peace, health, prosperity, abundance and freedom, security and happiness. All the blessings of Abraham.. Watch over and protect my children and grandchildren, all family and friends, from all forms of accidents, sickness and disease and attacks by the enemy. Thank You Lord God in the name of Jesus, Yeshua, our Lord and Savior!

SPEAK IT OUT LOUD!

SPEAK THE WORD YOU WANT TO BE?

God spoke 'everything' into existence and He also created us in His image. So, I reason that we have some of the same power of God in us through Jesus Christ our Savior. I have noticed that the things I talk about the most seem to happen, good or bad... When I say to myself or someone else things like, "I always seem to get a cold or flu this time of the year." I come down with a cold or flu... So now I  say to everyone reading, "I am immune to colds and flu by the stripes Jesus I am healed of all sickness never to have a cold or flu again. Make it so in the name of Jesus!" Or when I say to myself or others, "I seem to get depressed and don't feel good about myself because I have done wrong and feel guilty." Now I say things like, "I am forgiven of all my sins, God loves me no matter what and He will help me to be a better person and to bring glory and honor to His name and I thank Him for all my blessings." Or I might say, "I never have enough money." Then it seems I'm always broke before my next payday or find myself lacking something that I need or want... So I start saying, "The LORD is my shepherd I shall not want....." I have memorized the entire 23rd Psalm and I say it out loud everyday and guess what? It works! The Spirit that God is, works in us when we 'speak' His Word. If you haven't yet tried this do it and do it everyday and watch what happens.... It does take some practice so start today!

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitude of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account."   Hebrews 4:12-13  (N.I.V.)

"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD my strength and my Redeemer."   Psalm 19:14 (N.K.J.V.) 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, I thank You for Your Word and the Spirit that helps us to understand it... I thank you for the preachers and teachers that remind us of the power we have in our tongues by the blood of Jesus. Help me Lord to use the power You have given me to do good and share this with others who believe in You so they can see Your blessings in their own lives and experience all the good things You desire for us to have. I love You Lord and I love Your Word. Help me to be a better man and share this wonderful knowledge. Make it so in the name of Jesus, Yeshua, our Lord and Savior...

THANK GOD!

GET THE "WORD" IN YOU!

It seems the more of the "Word" I listen to, read, and study and meditate on the better I understand who God is and the better I feel about myself as a believer. I've heard this may times, "God is a Spirit" but did not really understand what that meant. A spirit is an invisible active force that has a mind and can think and can also influence our thoughts and actions. There are also 'evil' spirits in this world that can hurt us by simply the power of suggestion, meaning a thought comes into our minds which may seem 'right' but when acted upon can cause harm in one way or the other. The Holy Spirit on the other hand is the Spirit of the living God that will guide us and direct us in our thoughts to our benefit. He, the Holy Spirit, will come and live inside us if we ask Him to and He will override and kick out all the evil spirits which seek to destroy us. We can purge the evil spirits out of our minds with the "Word" of God. They hate God and us, so they come to kill, steal, and destroy us and deceive us into thinking we are not worthy of God's love and that God, our Father has abandoned us because of our sin and sinful nature. Now this is where Jesus comes in. Before Jesus did what He did on the cross for us we were not worthy of God's salvation so in His infinite wisdom God sent His perfect Son to earth as a human to be the final sacrifice once and for all to put away all the sin's of mankind and to give of the "gift" of righteousness which means right standing with God our Father. So now, if we choose to accept this gift we are made right with God and He will remember our sin no more... He sees Jesus and His finished work on the cross when He looks at us and not our sin... Our Spirits have been born again but our flesh is still the flesh and that is why we continue to have these fleshly desires that are so hard to resist. "The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." Thank God for Jesus and God's love for all of us! We need only to say "Yes and Amen!" To Jesus and receive Him as our Lord and Savior despite our weaknesses and sinful nature and we will be righteous in God's sight. Eventually all these things that we are tempted of will pass and we will have the power to resist the evil that tries to influence us. We who receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and King are joint heirs with Him to inherit everlasting life and all the blessings of Abraham in this life.
So, lift your head up high and know that you are "the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus," submit yourself to the "Word" of God and little by little you will see your life changing for the better effortlessly. The Spirit will guide you... Make a new habit if you haven't already to read the Word, listen to the Word, and speaking the Word and your faith will grow stronger and stronger. Faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing the Word of Christ over and over and over again...
