Scripture of the day

Philippians 3:20-21

But Our Homeland is in heaven, where are Savior the Lord Jesus Christ is; and we are looking forward to his return from there. When he comes back he will take these dying bodies of ours and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same mighty power that he will use to conquer all else everywhere.

Scripture reading of the Day

Matthew 4:15-25

The Land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, beside the Lake, and the countryside beyond the Jordan River, and Upper Galilee where so many foreigners live—there the people who sat in darkness have seen a great Light; they sat in the land of death, and the Light broke through upon them.

From then on, Jesus began to preach, “Turn from sin, and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”

One day as he was walking along the beach beside the Lake of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—out in a boat fishing with a net, for they were commercial fishermen.

Jesus called out, “Come along with me and I will show you how to fish for the souls of men!” And they left the nets at once and went with him.

A little farther up the beach he saw two other brothers, James and John, sitting in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets; and he called to them to come too. At once they stopped their work and, leaving their father behind, went with him.

Jesus traveled all through Galilee teaching in the Jewish synagogues, everywhere preaching the Good News about the Kingdom of Heaven. And he healed every kind of sickness and disease. The report of his miracles spread far beyond the borders of Galilee so that sick folk were soon coming to be healed from as far away as Syria. And whatever their illness and pain, or if they were possessed by demons, or were insane, or paralyzed—he healed them all. Enormous crowds followed him wherever he went—people from Galilee, and the Ten cities, and Jerusalem, and from all over Judea, and even from across the Jordan River.

Sam’s Response….

God is with the person who dares to stand upon his Word.

When we come to Christ and we are his, Jesus said he would send another. The another is the Holy Spirit who lives within us. The Holy Spirit Convicts of our Sin. We know when sin is upon us as the spirit of God that lives within us does not want us to go on sinning. I have found this to be so true in my life. What I used to do before Christ, I cannot do without the knowledge that I am in the wrong place doing the wrong thing.

This is a gift from God, the Holy Spirit is the most mighty gift we can receive. Do not deny yourself of this.

God may be dealing with you now as you read this. For each of us he reveals his truth at his timetable.

The Story above about the Miraculous healings of Jesus are amazing to read.  What sticks out to me is that Jesus healed EVERY sickness and disease. This is amazing because he also promised we would do even greater miracles in his name when we call upon the name of Jesus.

It says in Acts (1:8) “You shall receive power hen the Holy Spirit has come upon you”

Lord, I invite the Holy Spirit to come into me and be my guide. To be my light. To send  me upon the path upon which you have called me. And I pray for every person who is reading this that you would convict them of any sin they need to get rid of and turn it over to you. We shall bring them before you at the foot of the cross, where we can lay all our burdens down.
