There are no Easter chimes, no happy fellowship with the Risen Savior, and no victory over dark and hostile forces. If you are Christ’s disciple you can affirm that you have risen in Him. You were with Christ when you fell into the grave. But you are now free to go forth according to God’s thought and purpose, if not your feelings or experience. This is clearly … Read Bible Verses

1 Collisions 6:19-20 Devotional On CONSECRATION

Todays Devotion Prayer Scripture Reading Reflection

Daily Scripture Reading: 1 Collisions 6:19-20 KJV 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV) 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. THE FACT THAT WE HAVE BEEN BOUGHT WITH A PRICE, NOT with corruptible items like silver or gold but with the precious Blood OF Christ, is the foundation of all consecration ( 1Pe 1:18). Consecration is not about making ourselves Christ’s, but acknowledging that we have an inalienable right to be His. Slavery was a market in which human beings were sold as … Read Bible Verses

To “abide under” the Almighty reminds us of His words: “How often would you have gathered thy kids together, as a chicken gathereth her brood under her wings,” and “you would not.” Bunyan states that the hen has four callings: the call to night, the call to food, the call to peril when the hawk approaches and the call to brooding … Read Bible Verses

Daily Scripture Reading: Mark 9:43 KJV Mark 9:43 KJV(43)  And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Today’s Devotional Is MAIMED: BUT FULLER LIFES OUR LORD asks all those who love Him and want to follow Him to be living sacrifices. This means that they will have to be exposed to salt with its searching sting and fire with its consuming flame (Mar_9,49).

Today’s Devotional Is RECEIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT ALL THOSE WHO RESORTED IN THE UPPER ROOM ON Pentecost were filled with Holy Spirit. Men must be filled with the Holy Spirit to serve as deacons in the Church’s secular affairs. Barnabas’s recommendation that he was a good, holy man was more important than the fact that he had left his lands. Most Christians believe that the filling with the Holy Spirit is the exclusive prerogative of a few. They have never considered it to be within their reach. The Church … Read Bible Verses

Our Lord said that He was not obligated to fulfill the demand. To use … Read Bible Verses
