Rom 8:35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

Rom 8:36  As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

Rom 8:37  No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Rom 8:38  For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

Rom 8:39  nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I hope you walk in peace and blessing today knowing that nothing can separate you from God’s love.

Eph 2:8  For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,

Eph 2:9  not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Eph 2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

God loves you so much that He saved you because He wanted to! You did not do anything that made Him want to, He just wanted to. And you know what else? He already created the good works that you are to do.

1 John 3:16

Mat 5:43  "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'

Mat 5:44  But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

Mat 5:45  so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Mat 5:46  For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

Mat 5:47  And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

Mat 5:48  You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

You may have a long prayer list.

God's word for you 2/22/15

2/22/15

1Jn 4:18  There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

1Co 13:1  If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

1Co 13:2  And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

1Co 13:3  If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

1Co 13:4  Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant

1Co 13:5  or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

1Co 13:6  it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

1Co 13:7  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

1Co 13:8  Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

1Co 13:9  For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

1Co 13:10  but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.

1Co 13:11  When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

1Co 13:12  For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

1Co 13:13  So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

The attributes of love here for us, is a reflection of God’s love for us.

God's word for you 2/20/15

2/20/15

1 John 3:1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

The father, the creator of the universe, the king of all kings, loves us so that He has allowed us to be called children of God.

Job 34:19  who shows no partiality to princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?

2/8/15

1 John 4:9-11 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

“This is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us!”

Rom 5:15  But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.

Rom 5:16  And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification.

The love that God gives us is totally unmerited and unconditional!

God's word for you today!

2/4/15

Eph 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,

Eph 1:4  even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love

Eph 1:5  he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,

Eph 1:6  to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.

Eph 1:7  In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

Eph 1:8  which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight

Eph 1:9  making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ

Eph 1:10  as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

Lavish;

expended, bestowed, or occurring in profusion:

using or giving in great amounts; 

to expend or give in great amounts or without limit:

Oh the love that He has given to us!

A verse for 2/3/15

2/3/15

Rom 5:8  but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

A sinner does not have a love for God, so, God loved you even when you did not love Him and He showed you that love by dying for you while you were still a sinner.

A verse for 2/2/15

2/2/15

Joh 3:16  "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Joh 3:17  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

The love that God has for us is far greater than you can possibly know.

February has been called the month of love, let’s look at Christian love this month. Paul prays for Christians that their love may abound more and more. I pray this for all of you also.

Verse for January 31, 2015

1/31/15

Php 2:8  And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Php 2:9  Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,

Php 2:10  so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

Php 2:11  and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

It is God who brings salvation and it is to His glory that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess! We cannot be the judge of that in any way, for it is not from us but it is by Him and through Him and to His glory that anyone at all is saved!

Php 1:5  because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.

1Co 1:5  that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge—

1Co 1:6  even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you—

1Co 1:7  so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

1Co 1:8  who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Co 1:9  God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

1/26/15

Rom 1:7  To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

When we really trust and know that we are saved by God, from God, and that He is totally sovereign and all powerful and that He works all things for our good and that no one or nothing in all of the universe can turn back anything that God has ordained, the more peace you will have.

So have peace!

Isa 12:2  "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation."

Isa 54:10  For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion on you.

Joh 6:37  All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.

Joh 6:38  For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.

Joh 6:39  And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.

It is very plan for us to see that it is the will of the Father that Jesus should not lose any that has been given to Him. And we read earlier this month in;

Isa 14:27  For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?

1/19/15

1/19/15

Psa 51:7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Psa 51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Psa 51:9 Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities.

Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.

Psa 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy spirit from me.

Psa 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit.

Please, please never hear me say that you can live any way that you want and not have conviction and shame for the sin in your life. Since you are a child of the king of ALL, you will have conviction of your sinfulness, and rightly so! I pray that your bones will feel as though they are broken with conviction when you sin and that you would pray a genuine prayer of repentance as David did. And He will create in you a clean heart; And renew a right spirit within you.

Job 23:13 But he is unchangeable, and who can turn him back? What he desires, that he does.

Job 23:14 For he will complete what he appoints for me, and many such things are in his mind.

As you go about your day today do the best you can, be kind and loving, make wise choices,try to be a good citizen. And when the day is done know that what ever God has appointed for you God will complete.

1/17/15

1/17/15

Isa 14:26 This is the purpose that is purposed concerning the whole earth, and this is the hand that is stretched out over all the nations.

Isa 14:27 For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?

The questions, “who will annul it?” “and who will turn it back?” is not answered here because they need no answer; It is very obvious that no-one can! If it has been purposed by God then it will be.

1/16/15

1/16/15

Luk 10:21 In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.

If we read the verse before, we see that what has been revealed is the fact that our names are written in heaven and it is the will of the Father!

2Ti 1:9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,

2Ti 1:10 and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

Take notice that your salvation is not depended on you, no no! It is “because of HIS own purpose and grace!”

1/14/15

1/14/15

Tit 3:4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,

Tit 3:5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,

Tit 3:6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

Tit 3:7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Man O man! There is so much gospel in the verses we have for today. Reread them and give time for them to sink in, contemplate what they mean for us. Then take a moment to give praise and adoration to our Savior.

Love you all; thanks for reading, please don't read them because I wrote a comment about the verses, but read them because the word will make you a stronger person.

Joh 20:19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

Rom 8:36 As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."

Rom 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Rom 8:38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

Rom 8:39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When you read this and you think, “well he did not say anything about this or that” then you must have read right over this, “nor anything else in all creation”

I pray that this new year be the best year that you have ever had in your life.

That you would trust Him in all things every day, and that you have His peace through every thing that comes your way this coming year.
