DON’T GROW WEARY IN DOING GOOD! As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good. —II Thessalonians 3:13 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. —Galatians 6:9             Doing good and not giving up are what He encouraged to do. Have you ever said, “What’s the use”? or “Does it matter?” or “Does anyone care?” or “Is it worth it?” or some other question like those? These are clear signs of weariness and can keep us from doing that which is good in our Lord Jesus and for our Lord Jesus.…

THOSE SLAUGHTERING CHILDREN— YOUR JUDGMENT IS COMING! “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” —Jeremiah 1:5             In the verse above our Lord God Almighty is speaking about Jeremiah. He knew him before He formed Him in the womb.   Before Jeremiah was born God had a plan for him, an appointment. Those who kill children in the womb are killing those the Lord is forming. They are killing children that He is in the process of forming. Who would do such a thing? It is Satan and all those who…

HE WILL RIGHT ALL WRONGS… TRUST HIM! All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord…

WAIT! From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him. —Isaiah 64:4 We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. —Psalm 33:20 Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. —Psalm 27:14  Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD. —Psalm 31:24  Hope in the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it. —Psalm 37:34  I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,…

GENERATIONAL FAITHFULNESS “And as for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the LORD: “My Spirit that is upon you, and my words that I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, or out of the mouth of your offspring, or out of the mouth of your children’s offspring,” says the LORD, “from this time forth and forevermore.” —Isaiah 59:21             His Word will be in my mouth and not depart out of it as His Spirit works in, on and through my life. Yes, His Holy Spirit will work in and through my life by His Word to have an impact on my…

A CALL TO UNITED PRAYER TO OUR CAPTAIN My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. —Isaiah 56:7 And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’ (Mark 11:17). “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer’; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers'” (Luke 19:46).             The Temple was to be known as “a house of prayer for all peoples.” God’s people are to be praying people. God’s people are to be dependent…

HIS SENT FORTH WORD WILL ACCOMPLISH HIS DESIRES For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. —Isaiah 55:10-11             This summer was a warm summer without much rain. Lakes and pond levels were down a couple feet and some dug wells were going dry. We were…

BE STILL BEFORE HIM The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary. Morning by morning he awakens; he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught. The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious; I turned not backward. —Isaiah 50:4-5             We who follow Jesus have ample opportunity to be taught by Him and to serve others for Him. The questions are— Do I take advantage of this opportunity? Will I take advantage of this opportunity? Oh, to sit with the King of Glory! He teaches…

PRAY FOR OPEN DOORS At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak. —Colossians 4:3-4             Can I pray this for someone today? Who am I praying for that a door would open for them to share the Word of God with someone or a group of people? Not only pray for them that a door of opportunity would open, but when it does that they would speak the message clearly?             When I…

EVER CHANGING Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. —Colossians 3:9-10 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins…  But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. —Ephesians 2:1, 4-5 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test…
