Isa 43:1-4 ...Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are Mine. 2 When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. 3 For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt as a…

Paul’s Prayer for Spiritual Growth

14 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 15the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16 I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources He will empower you with inner strength through His Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him. Your roots will grow down into God’s…

Matt 14:24-33 24 Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves. 25 About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. 26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!” 27 But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” He said.…

Let us take a look when Jesus Prays. We see some very Powerful statements here. Hope and Grace is woven in this Prayer for us and others. We also are given many scriptures on which we can stand upon.

The First Disciples

1One day as Jesus was preaching on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, great crowds pressed in on him to listen to the word of God. 2He noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge, for the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. 3Stepping into one of the boats, Jesus asked Simon, its owner, to push it out into the…

I am Praying for you. I will Pray for you. They sound the same but, they are not. Both, are Powerful actions. However, they can be miles apart. As we grow in the Lord, we learn that what we say matters. When we tell another that we are or will Pray for them, we are held to this. To tell someone, “I will Pray for you,” means at some point we will remember them in Prayers. To tell someone, “I am Praying for you,” is not even close to the same thing. To share with…

Matt 9:30 Two blind men were sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was coming that way, they began shouting, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

Matt 9:31 "Be quiet!" the crowd yelled at them. But they only shouted louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!" We see this same thing again and again. People who need Jesus cry out; they shout, they are exercising faith. They believe if only Jesus…

How do we serve God? How do we Love Him? Both of these questions are based not on ourselves but, Him. We can only serve and Love Jesus based on His Love to us. The inspiration and even desire, comes all through His Love. However, we must be obedient to the leading of Holy Spirit. As we mature and grow in Him, this become more and more important. A daily Bible reading, a few moments of Prayer now and again will not satisfy us, the same as when we were young Christians. It is not for lack of…

Ps 40:3 He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.

Ps 96:1 Sing a new song to the LORD! Let the whole earth sing to the LORD!

Let it be that we sing a new song to the Lord. The song you sang yesterday was good, but that was then we have a…
