Make Sure You Have a Sure Foundation

February 23, 2013

Construction of a house is a detailed business that starts with the cornerstone being laid to make a solid foundation.  The reference point for a building is the cornerstone that has only true right angles.  It is perfect, not 1 mm off.  Jesus is our Chief Cornerstone for a building not made with human hands.  He is our moral and spiritual cornerstone, the perfect Son of Man on which the church is built into a holy house of God.  The body of Christ is a spiritual house for the Spirit of God to dwell in, and the Christians are the "living stones".  Jesus is the precious Cornerstone as spoken of in Isaiah 28:16, and He is a sure foundation.  Jesus is also the Capstone, or the last stone to be laid in the building.  The capstone anchors the building together.  Jesus is the first stone and the last stone, the First and the Last, the Alpha and Omega who has no beginning or end.  We serve a living God who is building a holy habitation, and believers are the living stones of His Temple.  The sure foundation is Jesus Christ, and righteousness and justice are the foundation of His glorious house.

 

Altered for Good

February 9, 2013
We all have a past with some wonderful memories and some not so great.  But we have an opportunity to give our past to Jesus, who died for our sins, and lay it on the altar before Him.  When we give our past to God, He alters our lives and extends grace and mercy to us.  As we receive His love and allow His Word to penetrate our hearts and minds, we are renewed with freedom that enables us to look to our future with hope.  Trust in His love and run the race set before you with joy.  At the fi...

Trust God

January 11, 2013
Trust God who is fighting our battles for us.  Isaiah 26:3 "God will keep in perfect peace those whose minds and thoughts are focused on Him without waivering."  When God is on our side, the enemy will flee.  The Shield of Faith protects us as we use it to cover ourselves.  The sword in our hands is the Word of God, the Sword of the Spirit.  Declare God's promises and goodness over your life.  Trust Him for divine protection and deliverance.

Truth is Liberating

December 20, 2012
Today we hear so much bad news, tragedies around the world are brought to us in an instant via media and smart phones.  How do we stay anchored and let the peace of God abide in us even when trouble is all around us?  Ask God for His guidance.  Father God, open our hearts and minds to hear and obey You and to receive revelation and wisdom and strength.  Let us know Truth and be free.  Let our love grow.  We want to hear Your voice and listen well.  Holy Spirit teach us Your ways and covenant ...

A Place of Shelter

November 6, 2012
Those who love God will find a place of shelter and security in Him.  They will rejoice in the secret place and praise His holy Name.  Psalm 64:10.  The Lord will destroy our enemies.  He takes care of those who run to Him for shelter.  Under His mighty wings we will trust like little chicks hiding under the wings of the mother hen.  Stay close to God and sing for joy in the shadow of His protecting wings.  Psalm 63:7  Trust God and praise Him for His love for you is great.

True Life

October 11, 2012
"True life isn't working to eat; true life is feeding on the Bread of Life, Yeshua Messiah, Jesus Christ, and on every Word of His."  Deut 8:3  Don't hinder your Christian walk by forgetting to read the Word daily.  The Word is Jesus; He is the Living Word of God breathed forth by the Spirit of God.  It is life and health to those who feed on it.  Remember daily to have time alone with God, to commune with Him.  The Lord is loving and faithful.  Commit time for your relationship with Him.  My...

My Salvation

TREES OF GOD

August 1, 2012

God is a master Gardener, and He cultivates, waters, and tends to His beautiful garden in great detail and with such pleasure.  His children are like trees planted by the flowing rivers, with leaves that are always green and lush. Psalm 1:3.  God's trees always have delicious fruit in season and their roots grow deep.  For those who delight in the Law of the Lord and in His Word, and meditate on it always seeking His ways, they are blessed and whatsoever they do will prosper.  We are trees of...

Sin is Sin

June 30, 2012

Ignorance of sin is not bliss.  Denying our sins doesn't make us innocent.  Even unintentional sin required a sacrifice for forgiveness under the Old Covenant.  Sin is sin.  Acknowledge sin and ask God to forgive you, and He will.  We can't live by our own standards and prosper.  If God's standards become our guide and we follow His Word obediently, then we will be blessed and prosperous.  Walk in the Spirit and in love and your life won't be controlled by your flesh.  Jesus gives us His righ...

Children of God

June 21, 2012
Who is the One mighty in battle? The Rock of Ages is strong on our behalf. One will put a thousand to flight. Therefore we will not live in fear. Our hearts will be in peace because we are children of the Most High God.  John 1:12.
A personal prayer: "Father, give me peace in my heart as I trust that You have sent your angels to minister around me that You assigned to protect and help me in everything that I do on earth for Your Glory."  Praise God!
