THE SPIRIT AND THE WORD: Daily Devotional

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light (Genesis 1:2-3).

As you read the Psalms, you will find that David knew the value of words and taught his son Solomon the same. It was Solomon who said: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue..." (Proverbs 18:21). David, his father, taught him that. David knew that life and death were not in the sword's power; they are in the power of the tongue. And he showed it when he faced Goliath of Gat.

You need to understand how he defeated Goliath.

It's easy to imagine that he defeated Goliath with a smooth stone and a slingshot. But not; it was with words! Study the account in 1 Samuel 17. He was sure of defeating Goliath because of his trust in words.

He used the tools guided by the wisdom of God. He had the rock and the sling and the words came out of his mouth. He knew he hadn't killed Goliath with a rock; the Spirit of God was upon him, and the Spirit of God uses words.

Words release spiritual power. Without words, the mind will do nothing.

Reread our theme verse. The spirit was all over the world, but nothing changed. So the Bible says, "And God said..."; Suddenly the Spirit acted and everything God said happened! Hallelujah!

At the second coming of Jesus, the Bible says that he will strike the Antichrist "...with the breath of his mouth..." (2 Thessalonians 2:8), referring to the sword of the Spirit, which is the "Rhema" of God - words that come out of His mouth (Revelation 19:15, Ephesians 6:17).

When you speak the Word, you release the power of God to act on your behalf. So if you find yourself in a life crisis, don't back down. No panic. speak words! Speak to it and make a change.

Jesus said that whatever you say you will get (Mark 11:23). Remember, words are powerful, but God's Word is almighty. Glory be to His name forever!

LET JESUS SAVE YOU : Daily Devotional

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. - Psalm 46:1 Do you think that you are working hard but the results are not coming out? You may feel like you are at a dead end in your career. Or maybe everything you've tried to save your marriage isn't working. Perhaps your hard work has to do with raising children. No matter how much effort you put into your child, your relationship is getting colder every day. My friend, now is not the time to give up, but to listen to your wonderful Savior, Jesus. Listen to him. Instead of relying on your experience and knowledge, rely on Him. you are not alone. Our Lord Jesus told Peter to cast “nets” (plural in Luke 5:4). The request made no sense to Peter because he and his fishermen worked all night and caught nothing. Nevertheless, Peter said in the singular, “You say, I will let down my nets” (Luke 5:5). Naturally, the net began to break and Peter had to call his friends for h...

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?: Daily Devotional

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever (John 14:16 AMPC). The Holy Spirit is not smoke or a cloud, nor is He a light. He's not a thing! The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. This is because He is the last of the Trinity known to us! In Genesis 1:1, God was introduced to us as “Elohim” (Hebrew). "Elohim" is the Hebrew plural for God. We are told in the second verse that "the Spirit of God hovered upon the face of the deep." Although the Holy Spirit is the first to be revealed from "Elohim", he is the last known to us because of what Jesus said to his disciples in John 14:16-17: "And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another comforter who will be with you forever; Even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive because it does not see him and does not know him, but you do know him; ...

Happiness - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: "This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalm 118:24 Happiness is something that we all desire and seek in our lives. It is a feeling of contentment, joy, and satisfaction. As Christians, we know that our ultimate source of happiness is God. However, sometimes in our daily lives, we can get caught up in the challenges and struggles we face, and we forget to be happy and grateful for what we have. The Bible verse above reminds us that every day is a gift from God, and we should rejoice and be glad in it. No matter what we may face in our daily lives, we can always find something to be grateful for and something to be happy about. It could be something as small as a beautiful sunrise, a kind word from a friend, or a moment of peace in our hearts. As Christians, we have the assurance that no matter what we face, God is with us, and He will never leave us or forsake us. This should bring us great joy and happiness, even in the mids...
