Being Faithful in the Waiting
“Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time, we will reap if we do not give in. So then, while we [as individual believers] have the opportunity, let us do good to all people [not only being helpful, but also doing that which promotes their spiritual well-being], and especially [be a blessing] to those of the household of faith (born-again believers).” Galatians 6:9-10 AMP Have you ever felt like things are not going as planned or that you are not where you imagined you would be? That somehow, you’re stuck in a waiting room, waiting for something to happen? Friends, I…

Remain in Me
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. A branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. John 15:4 NLT Today, I woke up with a heavy heart. The memories were overwhelming my heart. I went to the Lord and lay my heart and the pain as I cried out to Him and told Him that my heart could no longer bear the pain and regrets of the past. “Lord, why can I let go? Help me, Jesus, I can’t do this without you,” I said. Suddenly, the Lord led me to read John 15:4.…

Seasons Of Waiting
Waiting is difficult. We don’t like to wait. We live in a world that is constantly moving at a dizzying speed. We don’t walk; we run. We don’t stay in our lane while driving; instead, we get irritated and veer off when the car in front of us moves too slowly. We become impatient when we have to wait at the doctor’s office. We don’t like waiting in line for too long. We want things done yesterday. God doesn’t work like that. He works according to His pace and will. One year for us can be a thousand years for God. So, what do we do during our season of…

The Lord’s Prayer: Day 3: “Deliver us from the evil one” (Matthew 6:13 NKJV).
Why did Jesus teach us to pray, “Do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one”? Satan, our enemy, knows our areas of weakness, and he will use them against us. But the good news is that our weaknesses, not strengths, draw us closer to God. Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 12:8-9, “Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time, he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses so Christ’s power can work through me. I enjoy my weaknesses and the insults, hardships, persecutions, and…

The Lord’s Prayer: Part 1
“Therefore, pray…Our Father in heaven, may Your name be kept holy.” Matthew 6:9 NLT We are all familiar with the prayer Jesus taught us, which became known as The Lord’s Prayer. However, do we understand why Jesus wanted us to learn this prayer? For centuries and decades, people have prayed this prayer and recited it as something passed on from generation to generation. Last summer, in my Bible study group, we broke down each verse of the Lord’s prayer, and the Holy Spirit revealed things that we didn’t know. For the next couple of days, we will unpack the Lord’s prayer as we do; let us ask the Holy Spirit…

In the Stillness, There’s A knowing
Have you ever faced a storm and wondered if God has forgotten you? Would I ever get out of this storm? During this trial (test), I learned to see and trust Jesus even though I couldn’t see or understand what He was doing. But God had other plans. I needed to learn that even in the darkest hour in my life, God never forgets me; He still has a purpose for me. I learned that God was fully engaged in my life. He sees our needs of tomorrow and, accordingly, uses our circumstances to create the ‘test” (to take a keen look at, to look, to choose. The Hebrew-Greek Word…

An Encounter With Yeshua
“Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions” (Joel 2:28 NLT. I was informed last Friday that I needed a second biopsy. Overwhelmed with uncertainty and fear, I cried out to the Lord. I threw myself at His mercy and asked Him why I had been suffering so much for the past year. I went to bed after I said my prayers and complained. I had a vision while I was asleep. In my vision, I found myself in a building that resembled…

Our Daily Bread
“Give us this day our daily bread.” Matthew 6:11 Ever since my surgery, I’ve been experiencing loneliness, defeat, and all kinds of trials. Being unable to move around due to pain has brought me down and discouraged me. Today, I cried out to the Lord for guidance. As I cuddled under the shadows of His wings, He reminded me of how Jesus taught us to pray: “Give us this day our daily bread.” God knows what I need every day. It’s great to talk about what He did for me yesterday, but it’s not enough to carry me today. Prayer is an expression of faith. Only as I partake of…

Unidad en Cristo Jesús
Mi oración no es por el mundo, sino por los que me has dado, porque te pertenecen. Todos los que son míos te pertenecen, y me los has dado, para que me den gloria. Ahora me voy del mundo; ellos se quedan en este mundo, pero yo voy a ti. Padre santo, tú me has dado tu nombre; ahora protégelos con el poder de tu nombre para que estén unidos como lo estamos nosotros. Juan 17:9-11 NTV Estudiamos el significado de la Oración de Lamento y cómo avanzar en la fe mientras estamos de duelo en nuestros dos devocionales más recientes. Como descubrimos en el Salmo 13, el lamento es…
