Scripture of the Day - PLACE OF THE SKULL

Romans 12:2 - "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- His good, pleasing and perfect will."

Observation:

THE PLACE WHERE JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED WAS CALLED "GOLGOTHA", WHICH MEANT "PLACE OF THE SKULL". IF I WILL BE EFFECTIVE IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE, THE FIRST FIELD OF CONFLICT WHERE I MUST LEARN WARFARE IS THE BATTLEGROUND OF THE MIND; IE. THE "PLACE OF THE SKULL".

Romans 8:6 - "The MIND controlled by the spirit is life and peace."

Psalm 94:11 - " The Lord knows the THOUGHTS of man; He knows that they are futile."

Matthew 22:37 - " ' Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your MIND.' "

Scripture of The Day - KNOWING HIS VOICE

John 10:4 - "The gate keeper admits him, and the sheep hear his voice; he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. When he as brought them all out, he goes ahead and the sheep follow, because they know his voice. "

JESUS DID NOT SAY, "MY SHEEP WILL KNOW MY BOOK." IT IS HIS VOICE THAT WE ARE TO KNOW. WHY THE DISTINCTION? BECAUSE ANYONE CAN KNOW THE BIBLE AS A BOOK - THE DEVIL HIMSELF KNOWS AND QUOTES THE SCRIPTURES. BUT ONLY THOSE WHOSE LIVES ARE DEPENDENT ON THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL CONSISTENTLY RECOGNIZE HIS VOICE.

Observation

I MUST DILIGENTLY STUDY THE SCRIPTURES, REMEMBERING THAT IT IS IN KNOWING HIM THAT THE GREATEST TRUTHS OF SCRIPTURE WILL BE UNDERSTOOD.

Scripture Of The Day - BELIEVING FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE

Acts 3:6,7 - "But Peter said, 'Silver and gold I do not have; but what I do have, that I give to you: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk! ' Then he took hold of the man's right hand with a firm grip and raised him up. And at once his feet and ankle bones became strong and steady."

PART OF OUR PROBLEM IS THIS: WE ARE ACCUSTOMED ONLY TO DOING THINGS FOR GOD THAT ARE NOT IMPOSSIBLE. IF GOD DOESN'T SHOW UP AND HELP US, WE CAN STILL SUCCEED. 
THERE MUST BE AN ASPECT OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT DIVINE INTERVENTION THAT KEEPS US ON THE EDGE AND PUTS US IN CONTACT WITH OUR TRUE CALLING.

Scripture of the Day - FAITH IN GOD'S PROMISES

Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

All fear is rooted in the notion the God's promises won't come to pass. Fear of poverty is really fear that Philippians 4:19 (concerning God providing all my needs) won't work. Fear of sickness is really the fear that 1 Peter 2:24 (concerning God's promise to heal me) won't work.

Observation:

I KNOW THAT GOD IS MOTIVATED BY MY FAITH AND NOT MY FEARS.

AS I HEAR GOD'S WORD AND RECEIVE IT, FAITH WILL COME.

LIKEWISE IF I LISTEN TO AND RECEIVE SATAN'S WORD'S, FEAR WILL BE AMPLIFIED IN MY LIFE.

SINCE I HAVE A CHOICE - I CHOOSE FAITH!

Scripture of The Day - KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT REVELATION

John 7:18 - "He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him."

THE PRIDE THAT COMES FROM MERE BIBLE KNOWLEDGE IS DIVISIVE. IT CREATES AN APPETITE FOR ONE'S OWN OPINION. THOSE TRAINED WITHOUT A REVELATION THAT TAKES US TO HIM ARE TRAINED TO SPEAK FROM THEMSELVES, FOR THEIR OWN GLORY. THIS DRIVE FOR KNOWLEDGE WITHOUT AN ENCOUNTER WITH GOD WARS AGAINST TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Scripture of The Day - WOLRDNINESS, LUKEWARMNESS, AND DECEPTION

Revelation 3:15,16 - "I know what you have done; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either one or the other! But because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit, you out of my mouth."

IN THE MIDST OF WORLDLINESS, LUKEWARMNESS AND OUTRIGHT DECEPTIONS, THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM IS THE MESSAGE JESUS SAID WOULD BE PROCLAIMED IN THE LAST DAYS.

AND IF WE ARE LISTENING TO SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT CENTER US FIRMLY UPON THE PATH INTO GOD'S KINGDOM, IF WE ARE NOT BECOMING LIKE JESUS IN HOLINESS AND POWER, WE ARE BEING MISLED, AND THAT MISLEADING KNOWLEDGE IS AN IDOL.

2 Timothy 3:5 - "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

Scripture of The Day - TRUSTING THE WORD OF GOD

1 Samuel 17:38,39 - And Saul armed David with his armor, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail (armor made of metal plates) and David girded his sword upon his armor, and he tried to go but could not, for he was not used to it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.

DAVID WAS SAYING, "I CAN'T USE THESE THINGS; I HAVEN'T PROVED THEM."

HOW MAY TIMES IN SPIRITUAL BATTLE DO WE TRY TO USE EVERYTHING WE CAN GET OUR HANDS ON - EXCEPT THE WORD OF GOD? WE TRY TO FIND ANSWERS IN OUR OWN STRENGTH. WE TRY TO SOLICIT HELP FROM OTHERS OR TRY TO WORK IT OUT OURSELVES. IT SEEMS WE'RE AFRAID TO TRUST THE WORD OF GOD, AND IT'S THE GREATEST WEAPON WE COULD EVER HAVE.

Scripture of The Day - THE POWER IS ALWAYS PRESENT

Ephesians 1:17,19,20 - "That He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the deep and intimate knowledge of Him. And so that you can know and understand what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength. Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places. "

Affirmation:

I KNOW THE MIRACLE OF RESURRECTION FOR ME IS -- JESUS IS THE POWER AND THE POWER IS ALWAYS PRESENT -- THAT SAME POWER THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD, ENABLES ME TO RISE OUT OF MY ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES AND STEP INTO THE PURPOSES OF GOD FOR MY LIFE.

Scripture of The Day - HIS NAME IS JEALOUS

Exodus 34:14 - "You shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God."

THE LORD DID NOT SAY HE WAS, AT TIMES, JEALOUS; HE SAID HIS NAME, WHICH REVEALS HIS NATURE, IS JEALOUS. RIGHT NEXT TO HIS NAME "I AM" IS HIS NAME "JEALOUS". 
HIS JEALOUSY FOR US IS PERFECT. IT IS NOT THE SAME AS HUMAN JEALOUSY: PETTY, POSSESSIVE AND INSECURE. HIS JEALOUSY IS BASED UPON HIS PURE LOVE FOR US AND HIS DESIRE TO BLESS US AND FULFILL OUR LIVES IN HIM. HIS LOVE IS NOT SOME ETHEREAL PRINCIPLE OF "HIGHER COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS." HIS LOVE IS FOCUSED UPON US, ACTUALLY JEALOUS FOR US AS INDIVIDUALS.

Observation:

JESUS KNOWS MY NAME. JESUS LOVES ME PERSONALLY. JESUS GAVE ALL FOR ME. JESUS DESERVES ALL FROM ME.

James 4:5 - "Or do you suppose it is vain that the scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us."

John 10:3 - "To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice; and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out."
