Freedom from Sin; Self Righteousness; Comfort; Contentment; Food & Clothing; Death; Success; Long Life; Trust; and Redemption of Sin. Taken from the CBS Version.
Freedom from Sin: Romans 6:6-7: "For we know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that sin's dominion over the body may be abolished, so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, 7 since a person who has died is freed from sin's claims."
Wow! What a great sacrifice God and Jesus made for us. Do we have a right to complain about how hard we have it? Do you stop and think about the sacrifices He made for us? When one does, we should be able to refrain from sinning much easier.
Self Righteousness: Isaiah 5:21: "Woe to those who are wise in their own opinion and clever in their own sight."
Without Him, we are nothing. For those who try to go it alone, something always manages to happen.
Comfort: Psalm 18:2: "The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my mountain where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."
I'll tell you what, whenever I'm starting to let my guard down and the enemy starts to sneek in, you can really tell the difference. Stay in the prescenc of the Lord and life is so much more exciting.
Contentment: Proverbs 15:15: "All the days of the oppressed are miserable, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast."
Amen and Hallelujah to that! Be happy, don't worry, cast all your cares and worries up to the Lord. He will take care of us!
Food and Clothing: Psalm 111:5: "He has provided food for those who fear Him; he remembers His covenant forever."
The Lord will make sure we are provided with all necessities.
Death: Proverbs 14:32: "The wicked are thrown down by their own sin, but the righteous have a refuge when they die."
How sweet is that. Follow the Lord our God for eternity in paradise, or don't follow and suffer for all eternity. Ewww, gives me the shivers just thinking about it. I believe!!!
Success: Deuteronomy 30:9: "The Lord your God will make you prosper abundantly in all the work of your hands with children, the offspring of your livestock, and your soil's produce. Indeed, the Lord will again delight in your prosperity, as He delighted in that of your fathers."
Do as you are expected and you will be rewarded!
Long Life: Proverbs 20:29: "The glory of young men is their strength, and the splendor of old men is gray hair."
Ah yes, the splendor of gray hair, the crown of glory. Life for eternity when you give yourself to the Lord, believe, baptized, and repent of all sins.
Trust: Psalm 37: 3-5: "Trust in the Lord and do what is good; dwell in the land and live securely. 4 Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desires. 5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act."
Life is much better when we put our trust and faith in His hands. Believe and receive goodness. You must believe wholeheartedly though, not just a part time believer/follower.
Redemption of Sin: 1 John 3:5: "Jesus answered, 'I assure you: Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."
One must be baptized in order to enter into the Kingdom of God.One must be baptized in order to enter into the Kingdom of God.

God's Promises: Wednesday
Children; Children's Duties; Marriage; Parents Duties; Money; Lust; Jealousy; Sexual Sins; Gossip; and Laziness. Taken from the CBS version.
Children: Isaiah 54:13: "Then all your children will be taught by the Lord, their prosperity will be great."
Get them in church, in classes of the church, whatever is available for them. Teach them young. Get the Lord in their hearts now, so they grow up in a Christ filled environment. This will make their lives so much richer and fuller as they mature.
Children's Duties: Deuteronomy 27:16: "Cursed is the one who dishonors his father or mother. And all the people will say, 'Amen!"
Teach them now that they need to show respect. Just today while picking up my grandsons at their school, so many kids shoved me around, no excuse me, no holding the door, rather almost knocking me over. I was shocked at how many showed that kind of behavior. Sad. We need to teach the younger generations. It is up to us.
Also, it doesn't hurt to give them small duties and work up to harder tasks as they get older. This will instill good work ethics in them. Show your gratitude as well when they do well. Be builders!
Marriage: Proverbs 5:18-20: "Let your fountain be blessed, and take pleasure in the wife of your youth. 19 A loving doe, a graceful fawn--let her breast always satisfy you; be lost in her love forever. 20 Why, my son, would you be infatuated with a forbidden woman or embrace the breast of a stranger?"
Pretty self explanatory. You can't have your cake and eat it too!
Parent's Duties: Deuteronomy 11:19: "Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
This is so good. What we present to our children is the molding of what they will become when they mature. Teach them when they are young, talking to them, setting good examples. Show them now, or be regretful when they are older.
Money: James 2:5: "Listen my dear brothers: Didn't God choose the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He has promised to those who love Him?"
So what is all the hype about money? I had it put to me in a meaningful way; money is not the root of all evil, it's how the people use that money that is evil. Really made me think, and it makes great sense. Spend wisely, save wisely, give freely!
Lust: Matthew 5:27-28: "You have heard that it was said, Do not commit adultery. 28 But I tell you, everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
This is probably one of the hardest ones to not commit for many. As it is human nature to look and like what they see. But...when ones lusts, (wants, or dreams of) this is not healthy. For many it's a hard habit to break, but is necessary.
Jealousy: James 4:5: "Or do you think it's without reason the Scripture says that the Spirit He has caused to live in us yearns jealousy?"
Rearing that green head of jealousy just makes matters worse. The person feeling the jealousy, ends up hurting even more. There is no point to it. We were all created equally and need to get off our high horses, quit looking down our noses at others and be accepting and loving of others. It's not that hard to do!
Sexual Sins: 1 Corinthians 7:1: "About the things you wrote: 'It is good for a man not to have relations with a woman."
Meaning a woman other than his wife. This keeps the man pure.
Gossip: Proverbs 20:19: "The one who reveals secrets is a constant gossip; avoid someone with a big mouth."
Gossip no matter how we look at it is hurtful, spiteful, and wrong. Tame the tongue!
Laziness: Proverbs 28:19: "The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty."
In other words, just do the job, do it to the best of your ability. Don't be a slacker. The sluggard is the one who pays the price.
Children: Isaiah 54:13: "Then all your children will be taught by the Lord, their prosperity will be great."
Get them in church, in classes of the church, whatever is available for them. Teach them young. Get the Lord in their hearts now, so they grow up in a Christ filled environment. This will make their lives so much richer and fuller as they mature.

God's Promises: Tuesday
Shame; Lying; Slander & Reproach; Anger; Guilt; Enemies; Prisoners; Loneliness; Worry & Pride. Taken from the CBS Version.
Shame: Romans 5:5: "This hope does not disappoint, because God 's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
We should not feel shameful for those who believe, as the Lord is all gracious, loving and forgiving.
Lying: Proverbs 25:18: "A man giving false testimony against his neighbor is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow."
In other words, your lies can hurt. The old cliche' "stabbing one in the back" is about what it feels like when your bear falsities towards your neighbor. So keep an honest tongue.
Slander & Reproach: Psalm 57:3: "He reaches down from Heaven and saves me, challenging the one who tramples me. God sends His faithful love and truth."
Yes he does! Hallelujah! I can testify to this one. I've seen His hand reach down literally and save me. Thank you Father!
Anger: Psalm 30:5: "For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor, a lifetime. Weeping may spend the night, but there is joy in the morning."
God is always there to heal, to love, and to protect.
Guilt: 2 Chronicles 30:9: "For when you return to the Lord, your brothers and your sons [will receive] mercy in the presence of their captors and will return to this land. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful; He will not turn [His] face away from you if you return to Him."
Amen! Thank you Lord! Do not turn away from Him, lest you want to grieve for eternity, and you want the next generations to suffer as well.
Enemies: Deuteronomy 28:7: "The Lord will cause the enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you. They will march out against you from one direction but flee from you in seven directions."
Isn't this great? He will take care of us no matter what!
Prisoners: Psalm 69:33: "For the Lord listens to the needy and does not despise His own who are prisoners."
He truly is an all loving God.
Loneliness: Isaiah 43:4: "Because you are precious in My sight and honored, and I love you, I will give human beings in your place, and peoples in place of your life."
We will never be alone with Him!
Worry: Philippians 4:19: "And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
We are provided for as long as we believe in and follow Jesus.
Pride: Proverbs 26:12: "Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him."
It is not good for one to fluff his feathers and look down on others. For we were all created equally. We all have a reason. Where some lack in one area from others, they will pick up where the others lack. When we come as one, we accomplish so much more!
Shame: Romans 5:5: "This hope does not disappoint, because God 's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."
We should not feel shameful for those who believe, as the Lord is all gracious, loving and forgiving.

Amen! Thank you Lord! Do not turn away from Him, lest you want to grieve for eternity, and you want the next generations to suffer as well.

God's Promises: Monday
Belief; Faith; Mercy; Worship; Prayer; Guidance; Fruitfulness; Holy Spirit; Salvation; and Peace. CBS Version.
Belief: Romans 9:33: "As it is written: Look! I am putting a stone in Zion to stumble over, and a rock to trip over, yet the one who believes on Him will not be put to shame."
Faith: James 1:5-6: "Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be give to him. 6 But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind."
The ones who do not believe are given plenty to deal with. This is the Lords way of trying to shake them up and bring them to Him. But if they do not heed, they will receive more and more disruption in their lives. This comes from experience in my own life.
Mercy: Psalm 103:13: "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him."
He is a compassionate Father without a doubt. He has such great love for us all.
Worship: Psalm 99:9: "Exalt in the Lord our God; bow in worship at His holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy."
He is Holy, He is Holy, He is Holy, our God!
Prayer: Isaiah 30:19: "For you people will live on Zion in Jerusalem and will never cry again. He will show favor to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears, He will answer you."
Yes, the Lord answers our prayers faithfully. Maybe not in the way we want, but He does answer them. We just need to be patient and wait on Him, as it's by His timing.
Guidance: Proverbs 16:9: "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps."
This is true. Without the Lord's guidance, we set ourselves up for stumbling often. We can't go it alone. With the Lord, life is much, much better. Without Him, there is much, much sadness and frustration.
Fruitfulness: Jeremiah 31:12: "They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant with joy because of the Lord's goodness, because of the grain, the new wine, the fresh oil, and because of the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like an irrigated garden, and they will no longer grow weak [from hunger].
Isn't this great!
Holy Spirit: John 7:38-39: "The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.' 39 He said this about the Spirit, whom those who do believe in Him were going to receive, for the Spirit had not yet been received, because Jesus had not yet been glorified."
Being filled with the Holy Spirit is a beautiful thing when we listen to Him.
Salvation: 2 Corinthians 5:21: "He made the One who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."
What a sacrifice God and Jesus made. All to save us from our sins. If that isn't a profession of love, I don't know what is. This morning, I was woken at 3, and finally gave in and got up at 3:30 am. I was sitting praying by my computer after I turned it on. The screensaver came up and He spoke and said, "look at your screen." There was Jesus in the clouds with His arms outstretched and it said, "How much do I love you? And He spread His arms and died on the cross for us." Hmmm, that is a lot of love.
Peace: Psalm 85:8: "I will listen to what God will say; surely the Lord will declare peace to His people, His godly ones, and not let them go back to foolish ways."
When we follow the Lord, we do not have to worry about being foolish. When we let ourselves slip away from Him, we set ourselves up for embarrassment.
Belief: Romans 9:33: "As it is written: Look! I am putting a stone in Zion to stumble over, and a rock to trip over, yet the one who believes on Him will not be put to shame."
Faith: James 1:5-6: "Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be give to him. 6 But let him ask in faith without doubting. For the doubter is like the surging sea, driven and tossed by the wind."

He is a compassionate Father without a doubt. He has such great love for us all.
Worship: Psalm 99:9: "Exalt in the Lord our God; bow in worship at His holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy."
He is Holy, He is Holy, He is Holy, our God!
Prayer: Isaiah 30:19: "For you people will live on Zion in Jerusalem and will never cry again. He will show favor to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears, He will answer you."
Yes, the Lord answers our prayers faithfully. Maybe not in the way we want, but He does answer them. We just need to be patient and wait on Him, as it's by His timing.

When we follow the Lord, we do not have to worry about being foolish. When we let ourselves slip away from Him, we set ourselves up for embarrassment.

Amen, yes He is!
Forgiveness: Mark 11: 25-26: "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your wrongdoing. 26 But if you don't forgive, neither will your Father in heaven for your wrongdoing."
Self explanatory.
God's Love: Deuteronomy 7:13: "He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will bless your descendants, and the produce of your soil--your grain, new wind, and oil--the young of your herds, and the newborn of your flocks, in the land He swore to your fathers that He would give you."
Isn't it great the promises he makes us?

Thank the Lord for this.

Praise the Lord!
Word of God: Revelation 1:3: "Blessed is the one who reads and blessed are those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep what is written in it, because the time is near!
Reading the Bible, going to church and hearing the word spoken, listening to programs, what ever it takes, get in the word daily.
Growth in Grace: Philippians 1:9: "And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment."
Same as above.

Yes I do! Thank you Jesus!

Amen!

Pretty simple, don't you think?
God's Faithfulness: Deuteronomy 4:31: "He will not leave you, destroy you, or forget the covenant with your fathers that He swore to them by oath, because the Lord your God is a compassionate God."
Amen, yes He is!
Forgiveness: Mark 11: 25-26: "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your wrongdoing. 26 But if you don't forgive, neither will your Father in heaven for your wrongdoing."
Self explanatory.
God's Love: Deuteronomy 7:13: "He will love you, bless you, and multiply you. He will bless your descendants, and the produce of your soil--your grain, new wind, and oil--the young of your herds, and the newborn of your flocks, in the land He swore to your fathers that He would give you."
Isn't it great the promises he makes us?
Loving God: Proverbs 8:17: "I love those who love me, and those who search for me find me."
Thank the Lord for this.
God's Protection: Psalm 34:7: "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and rescues them."
Praise the Lord!
Word of God: Revelation 1:3: "Blessed is the one who reads and blessed are those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep what is written in it, because the time is near!
Reading the Bible, going to church and hearing the word spoken, listening to programs, what ever it takes, get in the word daily.
Growth in Grace: Philippians 1:9: "And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment."
Same as above.
Eternal Life: John 11:25-26: "Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live. 26 Everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die--ever. Do you believe this?"
Yes I do! Thank you Jesus!
Seeking God: Hosea 10:12: "Sow righteousness for yourselves and reap faithful love; break up your untilled ground. It is time to seek the Lord until He comes and sends righteousness on you like the rain."
Amen!

God's Promises: Friday
Freedom from Sin; Self Righteousness; Comfort; Contentment; Food & Clothing; Death, Success; Long Life; Trust; and Redemption of Sin. CBS (Christian Standard Bible).
A quick note first: For those who are wondering, P.U.S.H. stands for Pray Until Something Happens. This comes from hon at God is Our Love. Thank you hon for sharing. It's a good reminder.
Freedom from Sin: Acts 10:43: "All the prophets testify about Him that through His name everyone who believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins."
How awesome is that!
Self Righteousness: Proverbs 12:15: "A fool's way is right in his own eyes, but whoever listens to counsel is wise."
Need anything more be said?
Comfort: Psalm 138: 7 "If I walk in the thick of danger, You will preserve my life from the anger of my enemies. You will extend Your hand; Your right hand will save me."
Oh how true this is. I can testify to that fact. I've had the His hand reach down and save me. Thank You Lord!
Contentment: Hebrews 13:5: "Your life should be free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for He Himself has said, 'I will never leave you or forsake you."
Food & Clothing: Palm 147:14: "He endows your territory with prosperity; He satisfies you with the finest wheat."
He will always provide for His people.
Death: 1 Corinthians 15:55: "O Death, where is your victory? O Death where is your sting?"
Death is not something to fear, for when we die, if we are followers of Him, we will be going to a much better place.
Success: Deuteronomy 30:9: "The Lord your God will make you prosper abundantly in all the work of your hands with children, the offspring of your livestock, and your soil's produce. Indeed the Lord will again delight in your prosperity, as He delighted in that of your fathers."
Is He an Awesome God or what?
Long Life: Job 12:12-13: "Wisdom is found with the elderly, and understanding comes with long life. 13 Wisdom and strength belong to God; counsel and understanding are His."
Follow and have a long life.
Trust: Psalm 84:11-12: "For the Lord God is a sun and shield. The Lord gives grace and glory; He does not withhold the good from those who live with integrity. 12 Lord of Hosts, happy is the person who trusts in You!"
Hallelujah and Amen!
Redemption of Sin: Acts: 13:38: "Therefore, let it be know to you, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you."
Thank You Lord!!!
Have a great weekend everyone and May God Pour His Blessings Upon You All!
