WORKERS NEEDED! So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” —Matthew 9:8 Do we see lost people? Do we take the time to be with lost people? Do we listen to lost people? Do we really care about the destiny of lost people? Plain and simply do we want to be a worker in Jesus’ fields? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEhRucEVzH8 Who will I talk with today about Jesus? Will I at least hand them the gospel in written form? Do I have the heart of Jesus in this area? May it be so! Dear Father, help me to be sensitive…

FOLLOW JESUS! “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said. —Matthew 9:9 Are you following Jesus? There are those who follow other men and hang on their every word. It is not wrong to listen and learn from godly leaders. We should be doing that, but if it is at the point where a person is being fully trusted without checking their teaching from the Word of God ourselves, then we are in a dangerous place. We are to follow Jesus and those who are following Jesus, but if we do not check out what men are saying from the Word of God then we are putting our faith in…

FEAR NOT! “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” —Matthew 8:26 Can fear and faith mix? Why do I fear when I fear? When I fear is it because I am in circumstances that I cannot control and I do not trust the One who is in control? Do I lack faith in the One who is in control of all things at that moment that I fear? How do I overcome fear? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbAkKDBQoG8 The context of the verse above was when the disciples found themselves in a fierce storm. Water was coming into the boat as the waves broke. They absolutely believed they were going to drown.…

HATE EVIL, CLING TO WHAT IS GOOD There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. —Proverbs 6:16-19 In Proverbs 8:13 we read that “The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil.” In the verses above are some of the evil we should hate because the Lord hates them! 1- Haughty eyes speak of someone who thinks they are important. They are arrogant and…

YOU ARE LIGHT! “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. —Matthew 5:14-16 As the sun is rising toward the horizon the darkness is fleeing and the light is revealing more and more. Trees, bushes and other things are becoming more visible and clear the further toward the horizon the sun…

THE RAINBOW Yes, I am confirming my covenant with you. Never again will floodwaters kill all living creatures; never again will a flood destroy the earth.” Then God said, “I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come. I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth. When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds, and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life. When I see…

BREATHE & BE REMINDED! Everything that breathed and lived on dry land died. —Genesis 7:22 Ever think about breathing? I read that a person takes between 17,280 to 23,040 breaths per day or about 6,307,200 to 8,409,600 breaths per year or about 588,672,000 breaths over the course of 70 years. Now, how did that start? “Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person” (Genesis 2:7). Evolution? Really? I don’t believe that even for a micro second! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCoD0Pfq7B8 How amazing is it that God breathed into Adam and he…

DUSTY CLAY POTS For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return.” —Genesis 3:19 “But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him” (Jeremiah 18:4). “Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?” (Romans 9:21). Wow! We are but dust and to dust we will return. And yet the Lord God Almighty shapes us into the vessel He desires. We are His handiwork— like “earthen pots, the work of…

2017 IS UPON US! And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel. — Genesis 3:15 “Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord arrives. His preaching will turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers. Otherwise I will come and strike the land with a curse.” — Malachi 4:5-6 He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! — Revelation 22:20 The…

DIAMOND HARD They made their hearts diamond-hard lest they should hear the law and the words that the LORD of hosts had sent by his Spirit through the former prophets. Therefore great anger came from the LORD of hosts. —Zechariah 7:12 Hard hearts will not hear the Word of God. They are like the hard-hearted person in Matthew 13:4, 13 that “hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.” Diamond-hard is so very hard. Examples of softest to hardest (1=softest, 10=hardest): 1- Talc 2- Gypsum 3-…
