The Sacred

'All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for showing people what is wrong in their lives, for correcting faults, and for teaching how to live right.' 2 Timothy 3:16 (NCV)

 So then, as far as scripture goes, it is all a revelation of God through men and women that Holy Spirit inspired to write for us and therefore it is good for teaching and showing people how to live.

The Bible. It is sacred. It is practical. It is worth studying. The Scriptures are more precious than gold. Men have died to get its message out to others. There can be no greater reference. God gives us Life and He gives us Light and with it comes responsibility. We are to know more than this one verse, but He gives us 66 Books to teach us!

As for prophecy, how could the authors have known about Jesus Christ long before He was born if not for God's inspiration? 

And as for the historical record that has been proven and that gives us an accurate report of man and civilization back six thousand years and even more, how could its antiquity have been kept and not lost without God's Holy Spirit.

The Word is most assuredly God-breathed. I love that! Just the thought of it gives me joy and inner peace in the sense that what I hold in my hand is the most valuable thing I could ever own. The Bible is Alive and just as God gave me the breath of Life when I was born, God also breathed through the writers that He inspired then to bring Jesus alive and also breathes through the readers while it is being read now.

The Word says 'The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me and His Word was in my tongue'. You are faithful to watch over Your Word. God breathed Himself out in His Word and I can breath Him in when I pray and read His Word. His Word becomes alive in me that way. I receive life when I read it. It is fresh and new and it renews me every morning.

As for the Bible, it is God's Word to me. He speaks through it to me. His Word became flesh and it reveals His Son Jesus Christ so that I might have a personal relationship with Him and get to know Him as my Savior. Through His death and resurrection He became the holy-breath, the life-giving Spirit.

Dear Father
Thank you for Your Sacred Life-giving Word. Thank you for the breath that You have given me. Bind the plans of the enemy and spirit of death to steal the breath from Your children this year. Loose the Spirit of healing and health of heaven. Give us back our breath! Let us speak the same Words of Life that you do.
In Jesus's name.
Amen.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
