Prayer Can Impact Our Lives, Community, and Nation
Wednesday Jun 20, 2018
Wednesday Jun 20, 2018
Message Summary Our prayers can impact our community and our nation if we will pray to God and plead on behalf of the people – we live in a time when we need for God to intervene., as Jesus tells us in John 14:13-14: “Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.". Hosea words, in Hosea 14:1-5, ring even more true for us today as we navigate the uncertainties arising in our lives and in our country: “Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity. Take with your words and return to the LORD; say to him, ‘Take away all iniquity; accept what is good, and we will pay with bulls the vows of our lips. Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride on horses; and we will say no more, ‘Our God,’ to the work of our hands. In you the orphan finds mercy.’ I will heal their apostasy; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them. I will be like the dew to Israel; he shall blossom like the lily; he shall take root like the trees of Lebanon.". Our prayers can make a difference; and, hopefully, our prayers will stay the hand of destruction that is coming our way because we have ignored God and left Him aside and told Him we do not want Him in our lives or the life of our country. Pray as Paul advised us in Romans 12:12: “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.". Pray; we can have an impact with our prayers!
Today’s Affirmation: Today, I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, God isn’t finished with me yet. (Philippians 1:6). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:14).

n Your Relationship with God, Pray Always -- Don’t Give Up!
Tuesday Jun 19, 2018
Tuesday Jun 19, 2018
Message Summary: Often, when we pray, we know that additional prayers for the same issue are not needed. However, at other times, it seems we must pray continuously. Irrespective of the period of time we feel we must commit for the same issue, we must continue to pray and not give up – this means we pray and don’t give up on God. As Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-22: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirt. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.". The Lord will be faithful, in His time, to accomplish His good work in us, through us, and for us. He will be faithful to meet us in our times of need – He will be there even when we don’t think that we need Him.
Today’s Affirmation: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Self-centeredness. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit’s fruit of Love. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Where Is God’s Involvement in Your Life?
Sunday Jun 17, 2018
Sunday Jun 17, 2018
Message Summary: Where is God’s involvement in your life? God’s “life interventions”, in your life, can provide either a success or a setback. For example, we lose a job; or we get a job. God can turn our world upside down. It’s not that we have done anything wrong; it’s the Holy Spirit working out God’s purpose in your life. We need to hear what the Angels said in Mathew 1:20: “an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.’”; and we need to hear what Jesus said in Mathew 6:34: “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”. If we follow the lead of the Holy Spirit in all aspects and seasons of our lives, we can see the birthing of another miracle in our lives.
Today’s Affirmation: I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM RIGHTEOUS IN GOD’S EYES. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21).

In Our Hurting World, God Wants a Better Life for Us
Friday Jun 15, 2018
Friday Jun 15, 2018
Message Summary: We live in a hurting world, but God wants more for us. To achieve God’s desire for our lives, we must stay in fellowship and communion with God; and we must let Him work in our lives. In Colossians 3:17, Paul challenges us: “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”. We need to live the Christian life in whatever we do – at home; in our jobs; in the way that we drive; and in the way that we treat our friends. If we live our lives, in all places and situations, in the name of Jesus, we will live a better life in our hurting world.
Today’s Affirmation: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Insensitivity. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit’s fruit of Gentleness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

What Is God Up To in Our World?
Thursday Jun 14, 2018
Thursday Jun 14, 2018
Message Summary Can we tell what God is up to in our world, in our time, in our church, and in Our Country? Are we a part of what God is doing, or are we just reacting to what God is doing – thereby, creating conflict and division? Paul, in 1 Corinthians 5:4, promise us the impact of the presence of the Holy Spirit on our personal lives and the lives of our communities: “When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus.”. When the Lord is leading, and directing, it seems that we are wrapped up in our agenda and our way of doing things; therefore, we miss God’s presence – we miss the Holy Spirit.
Today’s Affirmation: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Past Failures. Rather, I will abide in the Lord’s Grace. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

Spending Time Alone with God
Wednesday Jun 13, 2018
Wednesday Jun 13, 2018
Message Summary Jesus said, in Mark 2:27-28, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”. Therefore, practice a weekly Sabbath – worship and rest. This practice of the Sabbath is to build back into our lives a time alone with God each day. In Mark 1:35, Mark tells us about Jesus: “And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, He departed and went out to a desolate place, and there He prayed.". If Jesus needed to spend time in prayer, doesn’t it make sense that we need to spend time in daily prayer as well?
Today’s Affirmation: Today, I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, He will supply all my needs. (Philippians 4:19). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:14).

Your Problems Are Not Too Big for God
Tuesday Jun 12, 2018
Tuesday Jun 12, 2018
Message Summary: : God is faithful – our financial issues, our debt, our health issues, and our sins are not too big for God. God is faithful, and He is trustworthy. Why not take all those things in our lives that are creating anxiety to God? In Psalms 9:9-10, the Psalmist encourages to put our trust in God: “The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.". Also, Jesus tells us, in Mathew. 6:33-34, that we can put our trust in Him and not be anxious about our problems: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”. Our God is a faithful God.
Today’s Affirmation: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Addictions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit’s fruit of Self-Control. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).
