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!

God's Promises: Sunday
Today's subjects will talk about God's Correction; God's Faithfulness; Forgiveness; God's Love; Loving God; God's Protection; Word of God; Grow in Grace; Eternal Life; Seeking God. All from the NKJV.
God's Correction: Proverbs 3:12: "For whom the Lord loves He corrects, just as the father the son in who he delights."
The Lord is just like our earthly fathers, He corrects us when we do wrong. The difference between the Lord and our earthly fathers, is some fathers are not loving, some do not care, some are part time. The Lord is loving, cares, and is full time all the time. He never let's us go unattended. His corrections are gentle and loving, never harsh.
God's Faithfulness: Deuternonomy 7:9: "Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments."
Isn't that a comfort to know. He will never forsake us. He loves us always. He is always there for us!
God's written word is a promise for obeying.
Forgiveness: Matthew 5:44-45: "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless thsoe who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you. 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."
We are to model ourselves after Christ, so why is it so hard for some of us to forgive others? Holding onto animosity, anger, discontenment, etc. only causes more grief, allows the enemy in, and puts a block against any chance of keeping a close relationship with the person(s) one is unable to forgive.
God's Love: John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
This is God's promise through Christ for salvation. Ahhh, everlasting life! What a great promise this is.
Loving God: Deuteronomy 7:9: This is the same as God's faithfulness.
God's Protection: Proverbs 18:10: "The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and are safe."
Yes, He does protect us when we let Him. We can draw our strength in Him as well. He is our strong tower, as the enemy can not win if we believe. He is much stronger! Amen!
Word of God: Roman's 1:16: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for teh Greek."
God doesn't care who we are, what color, what creed, sex, nationality, etc.; He loves us all!
Growth in Grace: John 15:8: "By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you wll be My disciples."
As we do as the Lord says, we follow and bear much fruit, we become His dicisples. So the more people brought to Him, the better for all!
Eternal Life: John 6:47: "Most assuredly, I say to you , he who believes in Me has everlasting life."
Isn't it amazing; all one has to do is believe in Him and we have eternal life. But...one must follow what the Lord has planned for them. It takes more than just believing. You must live righteously as well.
Seeking God: 2 Chronicles 15: 2: "So he went out to meet Asa and said to him, 'Asa and all Judah and Benjamin, hear me. The LORD is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you abandon Him, He will abandon you."
As long as we believe in Him, and seek Him, He is there for us. Seek and you shall find.
God's Correction: Proverbs 3:12: "For whom the Lord loves He corrects, just as the father the son in who he delights."
The Lord is just like our earthly fathers, He corrects us when we do wrong. The difference between the Lord and our earthly fathers, is some fathers are not loving, some do not care, some are part time. The Lord is loving, cares, and is full time all the time. He never let's us go unattended. His corrections are gentle and loving, never harsh.

As long as we believe in Him, and seek Him, He is there for us. Seek and you shall find.

God's Promises: Friday
Today's subjects consist of: Freedom from Sin; Self Righteousness; Comfort; Contentment; Food & Clothing; Death; Success; Long Life; Trust; and Redemption from Sin. The context is from the NKJV.
Freedom from Sin: Ezekiel 36:25-26: "Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
What God wants for us a fresh new begining of a fresh spirit so that we will have the desire to do His work. He wants us to transform to His ways; and not to just exist doing our own thing.
Self Righteousness: Proverbs: 30:12-13: "There is a generation that is pure in it's own eyes, yet is not washed from it's filthiness. 13There is a generation--oh, how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.
If we look at today, there are many that do not believe, that do not respect their parents and others. They feel that they are the ones that matter only, have it all, and can do as they please. This is of all ages. These are the people we need to be praying for, that they may be saved and quit living in the flesh.
Comfort: Psalms 46:1-3: "God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in throuble. Therefore we will not fear. Even thougth the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though it's waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with it's swelling."
No matter what, if we put ourselves in God's hands, we will be okay. We need not worry when with Him, He will not leave us; He will always care for and provide for us.
Contentment: Proverbs 17:22: "A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.
When we allow ourselves to be content and in the arms of our Father, we are able to have a light heart. When we live in the ways of the world in the flesh, our spirits become broken and we live in pain. We become a broken people.
Food & Clothing: Joel 2:26: "You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be put to shame."
When we are thankful for our Lord our God, He takes care of us, provides for us, and makes sure we are happy. Always remember to thank Him. He deserves our praises to Him.
Death: Psalm 23:4: "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
No matter what our circumstances, He is there to protect us. All we need to do is believe and turn our worries and cares over to Him.
Success: Proverbs 15:6: "In the house of righteousness there is much treasure, but in the revenue of the wicked is trouble."
As long as you come by your means legally and honestly, you will be well provided for. If you are a thief and a liar, coming by your wealth in a dishonest manner, you will have pain and suffering.
Long Life: Isaiah 46:4: "Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you."
Is this a great promise or what. As it states in the Footprints poem, during hard times and trials, He does not leave us, it's then that He is carrying us, and this is so when we age and perhaps become frail. How sweet that is.
Trust: Psalm 46:1-2: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and the though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea."
This is just as comfort, we must also trust in Him to provide, care for, and in healing.
Redemption from Sin: Matthew 1:21 "And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."
This is our promise for salvation. The promise that Christ will deliver us salvation.
Have a truly Blessed day in the Lord our God! Amen
Freedom from Sin: Ezekiel 36:25-26: "Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

God's Promises: Thursday
Today's subjects discuss the following topics: Joy; Meekness; Patience; Honesty; Wisdom; Sickness; Obedience; Courage; Fear; and Hope.
Again, all passages will be taken from the NKJV.
Joy: Isaiah 55:12: "For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands."
It is when we shine with the love of the Lord with joy in our hearts that others see and are led to the Lord!
Meekness: Matthew 5:5: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
Humble oneself onto the Lord. A humble heart can do so much. God wants us to humble ourselves before him.
Patience: James 5:7-8: "Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. 8You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for teh coming of the Lord is at hand."
We never know when God is going to reward us for our patience, but He will when the time is right. God's timing is always perfect. That is why is is so important to remain patient. Just as God had promised and promises again Christ's return.
Honesty: Leviticus 19:11: "You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another."
Plain and simple, "Honesty is the best policy." Lying and stealing are sins.
Wisdom: James 1:5: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
God promises the Holy Spirit in wisdom, knowledge, and revelation.
Sickness: James 5:14-16: "14Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the same name of the Lord. 15And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lrod will raise him up. and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16Confess your trespasses ot one another, and pray for one another, that yo may be healed. The effective, fervent pryer of a righteous man avails much."
It is important to remember that we can not act upon a multitude of God's commands when we are sick and without close fellowship with others who believe. Often times the only way to get help is when you are a group instead of one.
God promises to preserve with healing.
Obedience: Deuteronomy 30:15-16: "15See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, 16in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commnadments, His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess."
They only way we are going to make it to eternity is to obey God's lessons.
Courage: Psalm 27:14: "Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord."
Waiting on the Lord can be hard at times, but this is when patience comes in. He knows when it is the right time to move. Strength will come from Him when we wait upon Him.
Fear: Mark 4:40: "But He said to them, 'Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?"
We should never lose our faith in our Father. He has never forsaken us. He has never done us any wrong. So why do we push Him away and doubt Him?
Hope: Psalm 42:11: "Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you desquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the help of my countenance and my God."
It is common to not even realize when we've lost hope, or have become discouraged. When we do realize it is important to get focused on God. Place your hope in Him. Once you've lost hope all togehter, you will end up in a deep dark hole. I've been there. It's no fun.
Again, all passages will be taken from the NKJV.
Joy: Isaiah 55:12: "For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands."
