CAUSE OF DEATH…  Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord; he did not keep the word of the Lord and even consulted a medium for guidance, and did not inquire of the Lord. So the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse. —I Chronicles 10:13-14              So many are fearful, yes fearful of getting and dying of the present day Covid virus. Do you know that your day of death is already determined? Yes, we need to be wise, but you cannot die until our Lord’s timetable for you on earth is over. He knows when you are going to die and how you are going to…

YOU ARE SERVING SOMEONE!  Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him. —Malachi 3:18              Jesus said, “By their fruit you will recognize them” (Matthew 7:16, 20).   Fruit is the outward identity of the inward reality. What a person is will be seen in what a person does— the fruit seen produced by his life. So… what fruit is there that is seen in your life?             In the verse above the distinction between the righteous and the wicked is that the righteous serves God. This service comes out of a…

LIFE-LONG LIVING FOR JESUS!  So I will bless you as long as I live. —Psalm 63:4              The Lord is our life, not part of it, not a compartment of it, not just showing up on Sunday, but He is all of our life! —“By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.” Yes, He is the God of my life and I will bless and exalt Him as set apart from all others. He is to have first place in my life and this is to be the case for all my life and in every…

KNOWING REST, SALVATION, HOPE AND HONOR! The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person… —Zechariah 12:1 Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken… Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.

MY HELP  So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty. —Zechariah 4:6  Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless. With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies. —Psalm 60:11-12                “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble” (Psalm 46:1) and at all times.   Why would we trust in man when we can trust in God? Who or what are you trusting in right now? Will you trust Him today and for the…

WORK’S FOCUS AND CHOICES  “Thus says the LORD of hosts: These people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the LORD.”  Then the word of the LORD came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins? —Haggai 1:2-4  And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts,…

Yeh, that is not true at all. Our Most High King of Glory rules and controls all things. He decides who will be in power and who will not be in power.   They all will give answer to Him one day as to how they ruled. We also will give…

BEWARE OF DECEPTION!  His speech was smooth as butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords. —Psalm 55:21              There are those who are masters at speech, but what they say and the intents and motives of the heart are diametrically opposed from each other. This is not an accident. It is very intentional because they have a wicked plan devised and are stealthily seeking to put it into operation. Beware of those who do not know our Lord Jesus and are in positions of power and influence. Their desires, worldview and intentions are not godly. The motivations of their…

GO… SO THEY CAN CALL ON HIM! And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved. —Joel 2:32 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame. For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without…

THE FOOL  The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity; there is none who does good. —Psalm 53:1               This is what God says about those who say, “There is no God.” God says they are fools. Why?   A fool is one who has been tricked, duped, conned and deceived. They have been led astray and need to “come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.”   The fool “must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of…
