Teach your children to pray every morning and night. They need to know about Jesus so they can live in the world with peace and know that God has a plan for their lives. You don’t want your family to miss eternity with Jesus.

Commit your family and business to the Lord. If you have raised your children to know the Lord and they are away from God, keep praying God’s Word over them. *Great scriptures: Malachi 2:6, Isaiah 49:25, Psalm 129:4 and Jeremiah 29:11 are a few. 

The spoken Word of God does not return void. God’s Word never fails. If you got born again late in life, pray for your family now. It’s not too late if you have breath in your lungs. These two simple prayers will change your life. 

*Pray and apply the blood of Jesus daily and ask Him for wisdom.

*Ask God to forgive you for any wrong thoughts, deeds, actions and words, and to remove anything that would hinder your relationship with Him.

You can live according to God’s Word which is linear and get off of the vicious cycle of life through learning how to apply God’s Word to your daily life. You don’t have to live stressed out, upset, and in chaos. Choose this day whom you will serve. We are either living according to God’s Word and His ways…or choosing to operate in the world’s system. 

Each human being has a destiny.

God has a plan and a purpose for your life. The believer’s purposes are to know God and to make Him known. To love one another (John 13:35), and to serve each other (Matthew 25:34-40). There is no higher calling, no occupation so satisfying. 

God desires us to have pure hearts so we can walk in His power. A pure heart has experienced brokenness and realizes their need for God, is soft and pliable to our heavenly Father’s touch, and seeks to know Him more on a daily basis. 

God desires relationship with us and a total commitment to His justice first and foremost. The basis is the righteousness of God Himself, and it is revealed in His law (which is Word). We are to love the law of God as it applies to all walks of life: home, business, politics, and the arts. 

God wants us to obey His Word because He says so. God wants us to act justly and to love mercy. This means we don’t have any desire to bring harm or destruction to anyone, but that they might be saved. Walking humbly with God means remaining in close fellowship with Him…consistently. Walking humbly means submitting to Him, doing what He says, simply because He says to do it. Walking humbly with God means being eternally grateful to Him giving continual thanks to Him for all His many benefits. 

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind, and your neighbor as yourself. (Deuteronmy. 6:5; Lev. 19:18; Matt. 22:37, 39; Mark 12:30; Luke 10:27). Act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8). Use these responses to evaluate your walk with God. 

PRAYER:

“Father, I thank YOU for the blood of Jesus that is applied to my life that brings protection, provision, and purpose. I ask You to lead my path, give me YOUR wisdom, and bring divine connections my way. Lead me according to Your Word. Amen, let it be so.” 

At night, “Father, I ask You to forgive me for any wrong thoughts, deeds, actions, and words…and remove anything that would hinder my relationship with You. In Jesus’ Name.”

We can have peace in the midst of life…and through all the storms that come with it. Jesus is Peace. He is with us in every situation. We can have peace when we turn to Jesus in everything. Trust Him today. Teach your family to pray! God loves us so much He sent His Only Son that we might have eternal life with Him. We have everything we have need of through the Blood of the Lamb —Jesus Christ!

Oh how He loves you and me!

TWITTER…wisdom…from the bluebird on Twitter to the Courts of Heaven…better get praying! 

“Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.” (Ecclesiastes 10:20 KJV). 

That is a very interesting verse in the Bible. God’s Word is true and every question is answered in the Bible…the basic instructions before leaving earth. Several weeks ago, I was thinking about the bird in the air, and thought, “Wow, God in His infinite wisdom gave us the revelation for today about TWITTER…the little blue bird…that carries our words everywhere on social media.”

Coffman’s Commentary on Ecclesiastes 10:20 says:

This is a warning against any kind of seditious talk against a monarch and against even the entertainment of any uncomplimentary thoughts regarding such a ruler; because, the nature of human gossips being what it is, the account of your words will be relayed to the ruler, “In a manner as rapid and as marvelously as if birds or winged messengers had carried the information to the king.”

No matter if it is a “tweet” on Twitter or the Holy Spirit reveals something to us as one of His servants, the bible makes it clear that the Holy Spirit reveals all hidden truth and shows us things to come. (see John 16:13…take time to read John chapters 14-16). 

If there ever was a time we need to pray as a nation, it is now. Instead of attacking and maligning, we must be praying as God tells us in His Word. Why would anyone in their right mind try to destroy someone? They are deceived by the enemy. 

There is a destructive element in griping and complaining all the time about the government, or anything else for that matter. While we do need the facts, we learn to operate in truth. Truth is God’s Word and His ways. Truth is doing the right thing at all times. Truth is being the same person in private as in public. Truth takes a stand with God. 

A heart problem will eventually show up if it is not fixed, repaired, or replaced. A heart problem eventually shows up in actions as well. The Bible tells us that whatever is in the heart will come out of the mouth. Listen to your words and check yourself. Don’t check your neighbor. Check your own heart. We each have to stand before God as individuals. 

Jesus taught us by His own example. He showed what true leadership is….action not a position.   Jesus, the Son of God, taught us that we lead by serving. 

When Jesus wrapped the towel around him and began to wash the feet of his own disciples, he was teaching a principle for all time. Even though we are clean on the inside as born-again believers, we must daily cleanse our walk through spending time in God’s presence where we are empowered to live a spirit-filled life in a world of hurting people. Where we are not so distracted by technology that we can hear God at the slightest whisper at the door of our hearts. Where we are empowered to live with eternity in mind at all times. 

Check your own heart….always stay humble and kind. We must constantly focus on loving and leading as Jesus Christ does….and renew our minds so our words line up with God’s Word. When we remember that how we treat people is how we are treating Jesus Christ, we have a wakeup call. 

Pray for the President of the United States, President Donald J. Trump and all those in authority. We are called to pray for leaders across the land. If you live in another nation and are reading this, pray for your leaders. Pray for each other. Stand in the gap through prayer. Be kind. The secret to love is kindness. 

“First of all, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be offered on behalf of all men for kings and all those in authority, so that we may lead tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity” (1 Timothy 2:2…A CALL TO PRAYER)

LCU (Life Christian University Satellite Campus in Statesville, NC)

If you are seeking God’s will for your life, desiring to go deeper in your relationship with Him, and want to get a degree to open more doors, LCU is the place to be. 

We believe Jesus is still doing today, through His body, what He began in His own ministry while on earth. We are called to study to show ourselves approved. To be effective in ministry—from the church to the marketplace, we must continue to grow spiritually.  

TESTIMONIALS:

 “My LCU experience has been a “spiritual” eye opener and has heightened my walk with Christ.”

—Regina Rhodes-Steele

“LCU has given me the opportunity to pursue my dream and God’s will for my life! The word that we get here will change your life, and when you spread the Gospel that has been sown in you, you will be able to change someone else’s life!”

—Gavin Owens

“The benefits of Life Christian University (LCU) for us: When I got saved, I wanted to give my all to the Lord. And especially when I answered the call to ministry. I felt the need for accreditation, to show an effort to apply substantiation to the feelings of my heart and spirit. God knew it, but men needed to see something. LCU has given me the tools to not only undergird ministry but also my life. The school is an asset to anyone who wants to further their knowledge in the Lord. Dr. Jason Bost, Dr. Deborah Starczewski, and Dr. Mark Flory have imparted a wealth of information, wisdom, experience and friendship in helping one such as myself to grasp what it is the Lord is doing and saying to me in practical ways. I feel enriched by the experience. And to top it off, it’s affordable. My wife and I will graduate at the same time with minimal impact to our household…and debt free! Thank you LCU.” 

— Pastor Ivan & Olivia Tate 

 “Although I had no intention of getting a degree at Life Christian University, I thoroughly enjoyed the four years I went there. The knowledge of the Bible that I gained will forever stay with me. The instructors were all amazing and had great insight into scripture. The class discussions were also very helpful. I am glad I decided to go and get my degree at LCU in Statesville, North Carolina.”

 —Mary MacDonald, Senior Loan Officer, Towne Bank Mortgage 

“To God be the Glory; not only was my physical mind advanced, but transformation to my inner man…which resuscitated my heart in greater spiritual growth. Can’t wait to start back!”

—Susan Chambers

No matter if you are ordained as a minister or not, we are all called to be ministers, cleverly disguised in our sphere of influence, from the house of God to the marketplace, from the White House to our family, friends, and neighbors.
