Things That Cling
/

Matthew 8, beginning at verse 2, says, “And behold, a leper came and worshiped him, saying, ‘Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.’ Then Jesus put out his hand and touched him, saying, ‘I am willing. Be cleansed.’ Immediately, his leprosy was cleansed.”

Going through life every day, things of this world try to cling to us. Attitudes, resentments, habits, and such can make us wonder if God still wants to work in and through us.

Let the touch of God come into your heart and your mind today. Just let Him touch your life. He loves you. He wants to heal you.

You Have Everything You Need

You Have Everything You Need

Ephesians 4:7–8 says, “But to each of us, grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore, when he ascended on high, he led captivity captive and gave gifts to men.”

In other words, you have everything today that you need to be able to do what God has called you to do. Whatever He’s calling you to do, He will equip you.

When Jesus rose from the grave, He took the power of Hell and destroyed it. He took everything that the Devil would have to bring us into bondage. He broke those chains, opened prison doors, gave us life and light, and the gifting that we need to do everything that we’re called to do. We have it all right now inside of us. Will we answer the call?

Talk to Him about it because it’s time to pray.

God's Purpose For His Church WWPM
/

God’s purpose for His church is to be people who proclaim His mighty works. We are not left on the earth to just an argument about His existence. We’re left here to demonstrate the reality that He is alive.

We must tell others what Christ did on the cross for humanity. We’re not called to argue; we should know doctrine and truth. We should never be relegated to just an argument. We have to allow God to do something in us and through us so that people won’t be able to deny the power of God and the fact that He is real. It’s time to stop being just an argument and start allowing God to use us in such a powerful way that others will see His mighty hand working in and through our lives.

I encourage you to talk to God about this today because when we pray, mountains still move, and giftings are still given.

Ephesians 3:20–21 says, “Now, to him, who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

Did you know that God can do more than you can even think? Imagine what you’d like to be. Think about the best plan you believe God could ever have for your life. The Bible says He can do more than you can ask according to His power within you. His ability, desire, and heart are for you.

Despite all your struggles today, God plans to bring glory to His name through each of us. Grab hold of this promise. Take time to talk to God.

The Power of Comfort

The Power of Comfort

In 2 Corinthians 7:5–6, Paul says, “For indeed, when we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. Outside were conflicts, inside were fears. Nevertheless, God who comforts the downcast comforted us by the coming of Titus.”

Proverbs 25:25 says, “As cold water to a weary soul, so is good news from a far country.”

Have you ever been encouraged by someone when you didn’t expect it? A kind gesture, encouraging word, or even a smile can bring sunshine back into somebody’s cloudy day. Ask Jesus to make you the Titus in someone’s life today. You have the power to comfort somebody who desperately needs it.

Do Not Be Afraid

Do Not Be Afraid

Joshua 1:8 says, “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you to be strong and of good courage? Do not be afraid nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Fear and dismay are potential enemies of Christians reaching their full potential. Fear comes when we’re called to face an entrenched and strong enemy, and dismay follows when we look within ourselves and don’t see the resources needed to fight the battle.

Remember that the battle is not yours but the Lord’s. His presence with and within us is the assurance that victory will be ours. Thank Him for your victory today.
