Let God Be Your Fortress

Thursday, February 18th, 2010


February 8, 2010

Man likes to be comfortable. He likes to build up walls that he thinks are secure through material things, personal relationships, ideas about the world and how it should be run. But man very often misses spiritual realities that only God can make him aware of. Like many of the great believers before us, such as Jonah, Abraham, Moses, Paul, Peter, we should step out of our comfort zone and stand in God’s strength and knowledge. “The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth, and even for evermore.” – Psalms 121:8

Verses:
Psalm 18:1-2
Jonah 1: – 2:10
Exodus 14:1-16
Acts 27:10-25, 29-41
Psalm 121:1-8
Psalm 125:1

God’s Majority

Thursday, January 28th, 2010


January 28, 2010

When we look at our problems we tend to see numbers; the number of people against us, the number of dollars we don’t have, the number of problems facing us. We don’t see a solution because we are only one in and of ourselves. God, on the other hand, can do above and beyond all we can ask or think. When we choose God we become more than conquerors. Our reality is that through Christ we are triumphant in all situations. Between you and God you constitute a majority; you are more than any number.

Verses:
II Kings 6:8-23
Leviticus 26:1-8
Psalm 91:1-7
II Corinthians 4:1-18
Ephesians 3:20
Romans 8:35-37
Luke 4:28-30
John 10:17-18
Matthew 26:51-53
II Corinthians 2:14

Bringing our thoughts Captive to Christ

Friday, January 8th, 2010


January 7, 2009

The desires of the flesh and the spirit are utterly contrary; though we are flesh and blood we battle not against the flesh, our warfare is spiritual. Knowing this we must put our trust in God and allow him to lead our paths. Obeying God is a conscious act; we must follow the directions God lays out and allow ourselves to be led. When we bring our thoughts captive to Christ, to emulating the mind of Christ, God lays out a perfect, righteous path before us. When we bring our thoughts captive to Christ God blesses us. We leave a legacy of these blessings and this in turns blesses others which glorifies God. The temptations of flesh and blood are a yoke of bondage but our captivity to Christ is freedom through God’s strength and power.

Verses:
Galatians 5:17-18, 16
Ephesians 6:12-13
II Corinthians 10:3-5
I Corinthians 2:12-16
Jeremiah 4:22
Psalm 23:3, 6
Galatians 5:1
II Samuel 22:33
