Inspiration For Saturday, October 27, 2012

Inspiration: One church leader constantly gives God glory during his services. In one service, I watched a seven year old mentally challenged boy get healed and start talking normally. His parents said their son had never spoken a word in his life. Then this church leader gave the microphone to this boy and asked him to sing the song “Jesus loves me.” The boy sang the song perfectly. I was in tears of joy and felt God’s power while the boy sang. God got all the glory as skeptics could not say this was fake.

Inspiration For Friday, October 26, 2012

Inspiration: I was falsely accused a few years back by a man and it hurt me because it was a blow to my integrity. Immediately after it happened, I heard God’s voice in my heart say: “Pray for those who persecute you.” At first it was hard to do, but I was obedient to the Word of God and prayed for that man. I now have compassion for him as I have seen some of the struggles he has gone through. The secret about forgiveness is to forgive and forget. Many people forgive but they do not forget the hurt and let those thoughts get them upset at a later date. How thankful we are for Jesus forgiving and forgetting our sins.

Inspiration For Thursday, October 25, 2012

Inspiration: Many people argue that there is no such thing as hell. These people have not studied the Bible or else they would not take that position. A Bible teacher shared that hell was created for the devil which is explained in Matthew 25:41. God does not force a person to go to hell. He wants everyone to be with Him in heaven. God is good and everything bad is from the devil. The devil gets people to rebel against God. It is the rejection of Jesus that causes separation from God, so it is the responsibility of each individual person to choose their eternal destiny to be with Jesus in heaven or be in torments with the devil in hell.

Inspiration For Tuesday, October 23, 2012

Inspiration: When I first read this scripture my thought was that sheep were smart enough to follow the shepherd’s voice, but Christians, including myself, don’t even know what the Great Shepherd’s voice sounds like. This gave me new insight into prayer and to be still before God, where I have a pen and paper always ready in case God wants to share something. God’s Word, the Bible, is the foundation for every Christian and He will never tell us anything that contradicts His Holy Bible.

Inspiration For Monday, October 22, 2012

Inspiration: Some churches have become so blind that they say the Bible is just a history book. They preach from other historians rather than the Word of God and wonder why their congregations are dwindling. The blessed and growing churches are the ones who preach the Bible as God’s Word and give altar calls each service for people to commit their lives to Jesus. These churches have outreaches and help new people feel welcome by listening to their concerns so that their questions can be answered.

Inspiration For Sunday, October 21, 2012

Inspiration: Christians who have not seen Jesus are blessed because they have received Jesus by faith and not by sight. One Bible teacher explained that this is the reason why Jesus did not stay on earth and show himself to everyone after His resurrection. Jesus could easily extend Himself to be a giant, taller than the mountains, put a sword in people’s faces and say: “Now, do you believe?” Everyone would say ‘yes’ in that situation, not out of love, but out of fear for their lives.

Inspiration For Friday, October 19, 2012

Inspiration: I have made the mistake of criticizing people, and in doing so, verified that this scripture is true, since my criticism came back to slap me in the face. If you criticize, your words will come right back to you in the same area in your life. I learned that this can help me see my blind spots. As soon as I am about to criticize someone, I quickly stop myself and say: “Do I do that also?” The answer is often yes, and now my blind spot has been revealed.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, Let me not judge people.

Please help me to judge words, but not the person speaking them. In Jesus’ name I pray.

Inspiration For Wednesday, October 17, 2012

Inspiration: I need joy all the time. There have been times in my life when I felt like the children of Israel going through the desert. After prayer, joy would come and revive me. This joy of the Lord would encourage me to be like Joshua and Caleb. They were leaders who crossed the Red Sea on dry ground that made it into the promised land. Real lasting joy comes from a deep relationship with Jesus Christ being thrilled with the plan God has for our lives. Joy and laughter destroys fear, stress and anxiety. Joy and laughter from God is what the world is looking for but more Christians need to ask the fullness of God’s joy.

Inspiration For Tuesday, October 16, 2012

Inspiration: Some people have criticized the church for not showing love and not having any more morals than they do. These people see one Christian denomination criticizing another denomination instead of loving them. They say the church is a bunch of hypocrites. I pray that these people will see Christian denominations work together as a team under one captain, Jesus Christ. I pray that Christians will love the lost with unconditional, unselfish love and have them look to Jesus as their example to follow.

Inspiration For Sunday, October 14, 2012

Inspiration: There used to be a time in my life when I was ashamed of the Gospel of Christ as I was more concerned with my career and was afraid that people would label me as a religious fanatic. When I asked for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, God gave me boldness to share with my colleagues. I often went to lunch with one colleague at a time as they would be scared to open up if any of their peers were listening. God blessed my work at this firm making me valuable to the company.

Inspiration For Saturday, October 13, 2012

Inspiration: One evangelist in Africa says intercession is the detonator to revival. Intercession involves praying in the spirit and praying this scripture so that the blinders would be removed from the non-Christian’s minds. This scripture says the god of this world (satan) is against the work of God. So powerful intercession involves binding (Mathew 18:18) all evil works and strongholds of the devil off the area and off the minds of the people so they would see the truth and see that the devil is out to ruin lives with sin. God’s plan is to give His forgiveness, love, peace, and eternal life to all mankind through His Son Jesus Christ.

Inspiration For Monday, October 08, 2012

Inspiration: I have attended services in many denominations and in many countries. Some Christians prefer to close their eyes during worship to block out distractions while others were like spectators, more interested in looking to see who was there and what they were wearing. I found the growing churches have a worship mix of hymns (for the older generation) and modern worship songs (for the younger generation) and these churches have taught people to worship God in spirit and in truth.
