I know your works. Look! I have set in front of you an open door that no one can shut. You have so little power, and yet you have kept my word and haven’t denied my name. Because of this I will make the people from Satan’s synagogue- (who say they are Jews and really aren’t, but are lying)—I will make them come and bow down [...]
Forty Days with God | Philippians 4:4-9 All through the Bible, we have examples of God’s promise to take care of whatever we need. Christians have been given the promise of, and the formula for, a stress free – worry free life. Psalms 55:22: “Cast on the Lord whatever He sends your way, and He will sustain you. He will never allow the [...]
I’m not there yet, nor have I become perfect; but I am charging on to gain anything and everything the Anointed One, Jesus has in store for me – and nothing will stand in my way because He has grabbed me and won’t let me go. Brothers and sisters, as I said, I know I have not arrived; but there is one thing that [...]
Wake up and strengthen whatever you have left, teetering on the brink of death, for I’ve found that your works are far from complete in the eyes of my God. So remember what you received and heard. Hold on to it and change your hearts and lives. If you don’t wake up, I will come like a thief, and you won’t know what time I will [...]
In my last post, When Life Interferes I shared a few of the things going on in my personal life right now. This morning I decided I’m not going to let the devil win. I don’t care how many times he tries to stop me I am going to finish this. If it takes me 80 days to finish this 40 day bible study. I Am [...]
Day 13 | 40 Days with God | Ephesians 5: 6-20 Nothing stays hidden when light shines upon it. The rising of the sun illuminates the earth.The flip of a switch will achieve total transformation of a darkened room. Things that were previously hidden in shadow become visible.

Day 12 | Forty Days with God | Ephesians 5:1-5 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. I heard a loud voice [...]
Day 11 | 40 Days With God | Ephesians 2: 4-10 Our God is a God of love. It’s difficult, maybe even impossible, for the human mind to fully comprehend the love, grace and mercy God has for us. We are saved because of His love. Salvation is His gift. We have done nothing to earn it so we have no right to brag about [...]
Day 10, Forty Days with God, Ephesians 1:15-19 Things have calmed down in my life, so I’m getting back on track with my 40 day postings. Hopefully there will be no further interruptions. In this letter to the Ephesians, Paul tells them when he heard of their faith in Christ and the love they demonstrate toward all people, he thanked God for them and [...]
Day 9 | Forty Days with God | 1Corinthians 12:12-27 Our bodies are composed of many different parts, (members) and each one has it’s own function. A hand can’t function independently of the body and neither can an eye. Our bodies are wonderfully and fearfully made by the careful Hand of the Father to function as one superb, beautifully crafted being, all the way down [...]
Day 8 | Forty Days with God | Luke 18: 10-14 When we approach the Lord we should recognize that we are all lowly sinners who can only come into God’s holy presence through the blood of Christ. If we got what we deserved we’d still be spiritually dead and on our way to a fiery hell. Anyone who has the nerve to get up [...]
Day 7 | Forty Days with God James 4: 6-12 My base nature is sinful. An envious, yearning, and covetous spirit lives inside me. Whether I want it or not – It’s there. But living under the influence of a spirit that yearns for the things of this world is a choice. We can’t serve God and man. Jesus said I’m either for Him or [...]
