I set a time for bible study and have a relationship with God.

My group God's Word I started about a week ago. We can all learn from each other and grow stronger in God.

Your group Miracle Grow is very knowledgeable and am happy to be here.

Eddie HighlyFavored Alford 11:42am Apr 16 Taking Dominion and reigning in Life is Part of Your Divine Make-Up, Part of Your Divine Nature after the New Birth, You are Not just a ordinary Person After JESUS come into Your Life You have the Divine nature of Your Heavenly Father In You.. Today Do not allow Religion and Denomination Rob You of Who "YOU" really ARE and what "YOU" really Posess In Christ Jesus.. Today I really Want YOU to Know that YOU are Created to Have Dominion and to Reign in Life over the Devil and all Life Situations and circumstances.. If I were You I would Print this off and not Go over it not one time.. But over and over and over untill you see yourself walking in Dominion that Jesus Purchase and Gave Us. Make Your Heavenly Father Proud, Walk in Your Dominion and reign in life so that the Father look at jesus and Say thats my "Son - Daughter" look at them they got the devil Under our Feet. Look at them they are taking Back What You Paid the price for On the Cross.. Look, Look, Look, they are Reigning in Life ... They are In the Kingdom Winners Circle .. I can Hear the heavenly father say I'm Proud.. They are not letting Religion distort the true value Of My word .. Today I feel the annointing Just Writing this ... Come on Rise Up YOU are a winner the hard Part Has Been Done. YOU were created to REIGN and have Dominion In Life. Have Your Ever Wondered? • What Did Jesus Mean When He Said: "I Give You Authority and Power!" [Luke 10:19] • What Did Jesus Mean When He Said "..And Even Greater Works shall you do!"? [John 14:12] • What Does the Bible Mean When It Says: "You Have Given Him (man) Authority" [Ps 8:6] • Do we Really Have Supernatural Power to change things Available to Us? If We do - What is the Secret to A Christian's Power? • How Do We Access the Power the Bible Speaks of In Acts 1:8? Brothers and Sisters, These are the questions that so many people are asking? And the answer to all of these is found in Scripture. Find out what the Bible says about you and the authority that Jesus gave you as a part of His glorious church! Are You tired of Being Powerless? • Wouldn't you prefer to rule over your finances instead of having them rule your life and dictate what you can, and cannot afford? • Wouldn't you prefer to rule over your body (and any sickness) instead of having your body tell you what your day is going to be like - how you are going to feel - and whether or not you are strong and healthy enough to do what you want to do God says we can! And, He even tells us how in the Word of God. Scripture :"For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)" [Rom:5:17] "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth." [Gen:1:26] "What is man, that you are mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For you have made him (man) a little lower than the angels, and have crowned him with glory and honor. You made him (man) to have dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet:" [Ps:8:4-6] "...Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And has made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." [Rv:1:5-6] Who and What Are We? Pay close attention to what GOD has said about His children - every person who has been born again into the family of God (the Church): • "(He) has made us kings and priests unto God". • "(He) made us to have dominion over the works of His hands" • "(He) made us to be kings" Did you notice that when speaking about US - GOD did NOT say that he is going to make us kings and priests unto Him (at some time in the future) - or that He was going to give us dominion - but rather that he has ALREADY MADE us (past tense) kings and priests and He has already given us dominion? Now it is important to remember that it is the WORD of GOD that says this - and not me, or some man - but God Almighty said this about US in His Word. I do not believe that this is a misprint or that God made a mistake when speaking to us about this subject. If you pay attention to the scriptures in Romans 4: 16-18, this is exactly how God spoke about Abraham before He even had a child: "As it is written, I have made thee (past tense) a father of many nations,..." It was only when Abram believed what God had said - and began to call himself Abraham - that he then saw the promise fulfilled - manifested - become reality. It is important to understand that Abram began to call himself 'Abraham' - (meaning "Exalted Father") - despite the fact that there was no physical evidence that he had a child (much less many children) - or that he would ever have a child! When Abram did that - God called it: Faith. Kings And Priests There is much to say about being made both a king - and a priest, but today I want to focus on the fact that God has MADE us kings - and that HE has GIVEN us dominion over the earth, and our life! Question: What do kings do? answer: They reign over their kingdom - they rule. (Don't they?) If they do - then that would explain more fully what the passage in Romans 5 means: "For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)" , [Rom:5:17:] What exactly do the words "Reign" and "Dominion" mean? To find out the meaning of the words - we need to first look at the original languages (Hebrew & Greek) and see what words they used. Dominion: The original Hebrew uses the word "radah" [Genesis 1:26] - which means literally: • "To Rule over with Authority" • "To Subjugate" • "The Right and the Power to Govern and Control" • "To Dominate" In Psalm 8:6 the Hebrew word used is "mashal" which again means: • "to have ruling power over" "To dominate" • "To make to have the right and power to govern and control Reign: The original Greek uses the word "basileuo" - which means literally: "To Rule over with Authority." Wow! - Did you see what God said to us by the Holy Spirit thru the hands of Paul? If I read this passage in the original Greek it would be translated like this: For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall rule over their life with supreme authority by one, Jesus Christ.)" [Rom:5:17:] Again I want to remind you that it was GOD - and not I who said this to us in His Word. And if He said it - it must be true- even if we don't understand it - accept it - or believe it. It's still true! The Key to Reigning in Life: I understand that many people might have questions as to why they don't seem to be able to do this. After all, if God said it, then how come so many can't do this? "they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness.." According to this scripture, we will not be able to reign over our lives - rule with authority - until we receive the abundance of Grace and the gift of righteousness. And sadly, most Christians wrongly believe that if they received salvation thru Christ; then they received there is - and the truth is that they haven't All they received was that they get to go to heaven when they die (because that's all they believe) - and most never recognize - accept - or believe that there is a whole lot more that was given to us then just getting to go to heaven when we die (not that salvation is not tremendous enough on its own). Yet the Word of God clearly states that there is a whole lot more that is available to us then just getting to go to heaven when we die: "But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak." [Heb:6:9] Did you notice that God says in His Word that there are OTHER THINGS that accompany salvation? In other words there is a whole lot more that is also available to us then just getting to go to heaven when we die! Receiving the Other Things:Just because something is given - does not mean that we receive it. There have been many times when someone has tried to give me something that I chose not to receive. How about you - has anyone ever offered you something that you refused to take? So it is with salvation - God gave the gift of Eternal Life thru Christ to the entire world - yet not everyone chooses to receive it. And one cannot and will not receive it unless it is by FAITH! [Eph 2:8] And just as salvation is received thru faith - so are ALL of the other blessings and promises - including the ability to rule and reign over our lives. As with salvation - one must first believe that the promise is true and available for the taking - and then receive it by faith How To Rule And Reign In Life Like A King:Wouldn't you prefer to rule over the circumstances instead of having them rule over you? Wouldn't you prefer to rule over your finances instead of having them rule your life - dictating what you can, and cannot afford? Wouldn't you prefer to rule over your body (and any sickness) instead of having your body tell you what your day is going to be like - how you are going to feel - and whether or not you are strong and healthy enough to do what you want to do? God says We can! The key is knowing HOW! I encourage you to "READ" this powerful teaching OVER, Over, Over, Over and discover for yourself what the Bible says about the incredible promises of God that pertain to the power and authority that God has given us to rule over every circumstance that life throws our way! Don't spend another day sick, broke, oppressed, depressed or defeated! Remember You Was Created to have Dominion and to REIGN in life .. YOU are a Born Winner

	Press toward the Promise TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “...Imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised” (Hebrews 6:12, NIV) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria Are you facing a challenge today that seems overwhelming? Through faith and patience, you will see God’s promises come to pass in your life. Understand that the enemy always fights the hardest when he knows you are closest to your breakthrough. He’d leave you alone if he thought you were going to live in mediocrity. If you keep pressing on toward your promise, through faith and patience, you will get there. Don’t be like the Israelites in the Old Testament who were right next to their promised land when they talked themselves out of it! They said, “There are giants in the land. It’s too difficult.” No, today, don’t look at the obstacles in your life. Lift up your eyes because you serve a supernatural God! Follow the example of Abraham who believed God even when his circumstances looked impossible. Remember, God always rewards the people who seek after Him. Stand in faith and keep believing because God will take you places that you never dreamed. Keep pressing toward the promise so you can live in the supernatural victory He has prepared for you! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Heavenly Father, I come to You today choosing to believe Your promises. Fill me with Your faith and patience to press through to victory. I give You all the glory. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

	By His Divine Power TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence” (2 Peter 1:3 NLT) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria Whether you realize it or not, God has already given you everything you need to live the life He’s called you to. You don’t need to feel stressed out, worried or afraid. You don’t have to wonder if you’re “good enough” to receive from God because God’s blessing has nothing to do with your performance. He has already blessed you and given you everything you need by His divine power! The world’s system tells us to strive, toil and scrape to get what we want. Our culture puts limits on people because of their natural abilities, resources, background or circumstances. But with God, there are no limits! By His divine power, you are equipped, well able and strong. You are covered by His grace and mercy, and you are empowered to do all He has called you to do! The next time you start thinking “I can’t...” or “I don’t have what it takes...,” attack those negative thoughts with the truth by declaring, “I have what it takes; I am well able; and I am equipped by His divine power at work in me!” A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father God, thank You for Your power which is at work in me. Thank You for equipping me and calling me according to Your good purpose. Give me Your strength and peace today. I keep my mind stayed on You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen

	The Supernatural in You! TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you” (Romans 8:11, NIV) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria We serve a supernatural God! He is not limited by anything or anyone. He’s ready to do the impossible in you, for you and through you! Think about this for a moment: when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Spirit of God actually makes His home in you — the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead! That means that you have unlimited power, unlimited wisdom, unlimited ability, unlimited joy and unlimited peace living inside of you by the power of the Holy Spirit. As a believer, you have the unlimited, supernatural, living God inside of you! Let that sink down deep into your heart. Let it restore confidence and strength to your being. Let it energize your thoughts and attitude today. As you meditate on Him and the vastness of His power inside of you, you will tap into that power more and more. Every day, you’ll experience His supernatural increase as you put Him first — the Supernatural One living in you! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father God, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, so that I can have eternal, abundant life in You. Thank You for choosing to make Your home in me and empowering me by Your Spirit. Father, give me Your wisdom and revelation so I can rise higher and embrace everything You have in store for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

	He Will Deliver You TODAY’S SCRIPTURE "Call on Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall honor and glorify Me" (Psalm 50:15, AMP).

Welcome to Verse of the Day!

Today's Bible Verse:

Romans 5:7–8
For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (ESV)

Today's Inspiring Thought: God Loves You

God gave the most costly sacrifice to secure our salvation—his very own, precious Son. And Jesus demonstrated his love as well, through his willingness to be the perfect sacrifice. He died so that we might live.

If you ever doubt God's love, ask yourself this question: Who do I love enough to give up my only child for? Who would I die for so that he or she might live?

Are you beginning to get a sense of the greatness of God's love for you?

Avoid Stumbling TODAY’S SCRIPTURE "Great peace have they who love Your law, and nothing can make them stumble" (Psalm 119:165, NIV). TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria If you're outside walking and see something that could cause you to trip and fall, maybe a rock or a stick, you probably don't make a big deal about it and just go around it. However, if you are distracted, not looking where you're going, or if it's too dark to see, that same object can become a stumbling block. Friend, in our spiritual journey, the enemy has strategically placed all kinds of stumbling blocks in our paths. When we make the Word of God our number one priority, it helps us to move forward with our eyes wide open. His Word lights our path and helps us see clearly where to step. When we love His Word, we keep our peace and avoid stumbling. Remember that the most important thing you can do is take time to read and meditate on His Word. His Word is life and strength to your body, and it will protect and direct your every step today! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, thank You for Your Word which is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I choose to hold Your commands close to my heart knowing they will protect and guide me. I bless You and thank You for keeping me close to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

When Life Throws You a Curve

Inspiration   >  Bible   >  When Life Throws You a Curve

When Life Throws You a Curve

 

“Play ball!” Nothing says spring like robins and crocus…and baseball. The smell of grass, the crack of the bat, the fun of rooting for your favorite team. Baseball, like all sports, is based on a set of rules. And as long as everyone follows the rules, the game is fun and fair.

Life, however, has a way of not “playing by the rules.” Things aren’t always fair or fun. Problems arrive with disconcerting regularity. Here are four things to remember when life “throws a curve” your way:

Problems help you grow. Just as children develop only by constant use of their muscles, so you grow mentally and spiritually by shouldering each load that comes your way. Fortunately, you don’t have to do this alone. In Matthew 11:28 Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Problems help you learn. Even the Son of God “learned…obedience by the things which he suffered” (Hebrews 5:8).

Problems help you become Christlike. “Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” (Hebrews 12:11).

Problems bring out the best in you. “God knows the way that I take,” said Job. “When he has tested me, I will come forth as gold” (Job 23:10). The Apostle Paul adds that we are tested “that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 1:7).

So, no matter what comes, face life with confidence—God is on your team!
