The Devil didn't make you do it

​Devo The Devil didn’t make you do it

James 1:13-15 (NIV)
13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
There was a saying made popular by a comedian some years ago.  He would say the: “Devil made me do it.”  We have to take responsibility for our sin.  You can’t blame God, the Devil, you momma, daddy or anyone else.  You chose and you did it.  You will stand before God and give an account. 
 Mark 4:27-28 (NIV)27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head.
Plant and reap a harvest.  Is it going to be life or death?  It not God’s choice it’s yours.

I like Black and White

​Devo I like black and white

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NIV)
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men[a] 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
​

The Bible makes it clear what sin is and if we walk in it we will NOT go to heaven.  It also says be washed in the blood of Jesus and no longer be these things and you will cleansed, sanctified, justified and you will inherit heaven.  Who do people think they are fooling when they continue in sin and think they are ok?  God, I think not, but they are fooling themselves.  Blinded by sin's deceitfulness.  Lord have mercy and open their eyes again to truth.

God won't be mocked

Devo God won’t be mocked

Galatians 6:7-9 (NIV)

7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
I have people tell me what they do in private makes no difference, but God says He won’t be mocked.  What we do in private or otherwise matters.  Plant the seed, reap the harvest.  Plant sin, pornography, fornication, adultery, lie, etc. reap a harvest of destruction.  Plant fruits of the Spirit, pray, spend time in His word, etc. reap eternal life.

Why am I on this Merry Go Round?

​Devo Why am I on this merry go round?

Galatians 6:7 (NIV)
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
I remember when I was a child hearing an adult seeming to brag how poor they were when they were young.  They went on and on about clothes, only one pair of shoes and how they carried them to school so not to wear them out.  Then they made a statement that struck me as strange.  They said: “Well at least we never went hungry.  We had beans.  Beans for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We may have had nothing else, but we had beans to eat, but some had nothing.  I got tired of beans, but it was better than going hungry.”  I could not have been more than six and I stood there in bewilderment.  They lived on a hundred acre farm.  I thought well why didn’t you plant something else.  It may have been better than going hungry, but why so many beans.  Now, I was a child and I wasn’t trying to be smart.  I just couldn’t comprehend why you would plant nothing but beans. Well that’s the way we always did it.  That’s just what we planted. They said.  Albert Einstein would say: “The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over again and expect a different result.”  Looking back I can see that same mentality was carried over to every area of their life. That is why they were poor.  They just kept planting the same thing over and over again expecting to have a different result.  A rich man once told me: “If you want to be rich hang out with the rich and do what they do.”  Good advice if you want to be rich, but what if you want more?
Well if you want to be like Jesus then fill your heart with His word.  Hang out with Him, and His friends.  I wanted to be like Smith Wiglesworth, John G. Lake or the Apostles.  I want to be like Jesus, so I spend time with Him. I study God’s word, went to Bible college, hang out with believing Christians.  My wife and I have planted churches and I worked a business on the side to pay the bills.  Businesses would not always go so well, but we saw healing and salvations.  I didn’t go to business college.  I didn’t want to be a business man so that’s not what I planted.  Some say you are what you eat.  I agree.  You reap what you sow.  Do you want change in your life?  Then change what you plant, be patient, and it will grow in due season.  Then it will produce, but don’t complain if you keep planting the same crop.  Now whose fault is that?  God’s or yours.  God expects us to grow up.  People call me to pray their life changes.  I need money, healing, a better marriage, and so forth, but they keep doing what they always have done.  I see God deliver them, only to have them return to their vomit.  Change what you plant and be careful to nurture it.  
Mark 4:26-29 (NIV)  26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”
Want a new harvest in your life?  Stop planting the old seed and plant what you want to harvest.

His Presence

​Devo His Presence

Exodus 33:21-23 (NIV)                                      
​
21 Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”

Exodus 34:33-35 (NIV)                            
 
33 When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil over his face. 34 But whenever he entered the Lord’s presence to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out. And when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, 35 they saw that his face was radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the Lord.

Moses wanted God’s presence to go with him and Israel.  He wanted to see God’s glory.  God tells him to stand in the cleft of the rock and He will pass by with His hand over Moses, then He will remove His hand.  The literal Hebrew here is Moses will see the residue of God’s glory left from where He had been.  Then Moses goes down the mountain side and some of that residue still remained on Moses.  He shown with God’s glory so much so he had to wear a veil so the Israelites could approach Him.  Not only that but the presence of God went with him and Israel.  Because it was during these times with God he was given the word of the Lord for the people, and the word remains among us till this day.  Jesus is the word.  One must spend time in the presence of God to get the word of the Lord and have that residue remain on you.  People, demons, and Satan know when you have been in God’s presence.   Now if you are going to be in ministry you must spend time with God.  Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to be with the Father.  You can’t give away what you don’t have.

Devo Delivered from bondage

Jeremiah 29:13-14 (NIV)                     
 
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity….

What an incredible piece of scripture.  Simply if we seek Him out with all our heart we will be set free.  He will never leaves us or forsakes us.  He is near us even in our mouth.  Just seek Him and He will reveal Himself to you.

Do You Know God's Plans for You?

12/21/2015

​Devo Do you know God’s plans for you?

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) 
 
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.                          
 
1) Corinthians 2:9-10 (NIV                       
9 
However, as it is written:    “What no eye has seen,
    what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”
  a— the things God has prepared for those who love him—  10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

God has a plan for each one of us, but that does not mean you will fulfill that plan.  God does not force His will on us.  We must seek it out, search for it, and want it.  It is an inexpressible plan.  He will and can do so much for us, but most people miss out on God’s plans and when their plans go bad they blame Him.  Walking in God’s plan starts with loving Him, and if you love Him you will obey Him.  That is where so many get hung up.  They say they love Him, but not enough to obey Him.  That starts with humility.  You must bow to Him.

He Never Leaves Us

​Devo He never leaves us

Proverbs 18:14 (NIV)                             
  
14 
The human spirit can endure in sickness,
    but a crushed spirit who can bear?

Psalm 34:18 (NIV)                                         
 
18 
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

We will most likely all go through a time when we will be crushed in spirit. The weight of a difficulty will be more than we can withstand.  Like bricks on a flower we will be smashed beneath the weight of whatever we are going through.  Some a loss of a loved one, a pet, job, no love, children who forsake us, medical issues, and the list can go on.  What might be nothing to one person may be a heavy weight to another.  It makes no difference.  If it is you it can break your spirit and God will be patient, compassionate loving, understanding, and save you from what ever you need saving from.  He sticks closer than a friend.  He may well be the only on who does understand, because He knows where you have been and where you are going.  Don’t throw you pearl before swine.  Take it to Him or you may well be opening yourself up for more disappointment.  I am not saying that He don’t work through others,  just take it to Him first.  You will find He has an ear for you.

A Symbol of Grace

​Zechariah 3:1-5 (NIV)  
3 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan[a] standing at his right side to accuse him. 2 The Lord said to Satan, “The Lordrebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?” 3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. 4 The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.”  Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.”  5 Then I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.
​

It is in verse eight God says this is symbolic of things to come. The name Satan means accuser.  Satan accuses us of our sin, and we are guilty.  The Lord said to satan; ” the Lord rebuke you.”  This seems like a strange statement , is He telling Himself to rebuke satan?  Yes The Lord God the Father is telling Jesus to rebuke satan, because He can.  God rebukes satan in our behalf, forgiving us our sin.  Jesus paid our price.  He takes away our sin and clothes us with glory.  He makes all things new and gives us a new name as He did Simon and gave him the name Peter.  A new name that is revered, not looked down on.  This is God’s grace, for we are all sinners, but God can make us clean.
