Discovering Truth - Verse of the Day

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.4.24.kjv  The reason why so many Christians struggle as a Christian is because they are not spiritual. How can you serve God if you are not spiritual? Being spiritual means to not judge by your five senses, like many of us do. We are to see things differently, and know that our enemy is not a fellow human, but satan. And satan is not a human, he is a spirit. And if we are not spiritual, we cannot fight him. This is why satan likes our foolishness, because that means we cannot fight him. The problem you are having, do not blame it on the people around you. Blame it on satan. He is the one who controls people to do what they do - which is many evil things. If you ask these people why they do what they do, I don't think they would have an answer for you. Because they are being controlled by the devil. Satan is the one who controls them. This is why we m...

“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8 KJV http://bible.com/1/rev.21.8.kjv  What I want us to notice here is the sins that Jesus mentions. No liar, idolater, murderer etc. is going to Heaven. But when you think of a murderer, you usually think of someone who has killed someone. But the Bible puts it this way: “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.” 1 John 3:15 KJV http://bible.com/1/1jn.3.15.kjv  Yikes! And we know the no murderer has a part on the new Heaven and earth. But where does love come from?  I can tell you this: love does not come from yourself. Your natural self can not and will never produce love. We can only have love by the Holy Spirit. He is the one who provides ...

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Matthew 16:24 KJV http://bible.com/1/mat.16.24.kjv  Man Christians make a great mistake when thinking they can be a part time Christian. Christianity is not a lifestyle, or a way of life, it is the life of God given by God for you to live! So, when you decide to follow Jesus, you are not yourself anymore. You MUST live for Christ. In everything you do. EVERYTHING!  You cannot live in the world still. You cannot do all the things you used to do, as a sinner. Jesus must rule now, and what He says, you obey. There is a very wrong doctrine being preached that needs to be stopped.  Many say, the sins that you have committed and will commit God has forgiven.  WRONG!  God forgave your sins, and He made you righteous. He made you sinless; and you want to ruin the righteousness? This actually brings conflict against what the...

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4 KJV http://bible.com/1/1jn.5.4.kjv  Whoa! This is mighty! Mighty! Did you know that WE are born of God? Yeah! God gave birth to us, and He made us His sons! “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” John 1:12 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.1.12.kjv  Wow! The vital thing that will make you a son of God, and make you overcome the world is faith. Once you have faith, you are flying. No, you're zooming, soaring! I didn't say satan wouldn't try! He will always try, but he cannot overcome you. You have to resist him still (James 4:7)! Satan will come tempting, but this temptation will make you stronger. God will not allow you to be tempted more than you can handle. “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will n...

“And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:” 1 Corinthians 2:4 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.2.4.kjv Unfortunately, many of the churches we are at now are dead, with no demonstration of the Spirit and of power. Therefore, what these churches are using is enticing words of man wisdom and not the Word of God. And the reason it is able to lure you in is because: the flesh is not dead. Unless the flesh is dead, you cannot walk with Jesus. Christ cannot work with you. You will be double-minded, a person who is unstable. James said it here: “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” James 1:8 KJV http://bible.com/1/jas.1.8.kjv  We cannot walk with Christ unless flesh is dead. And it is because flesh is not dead that we stay in a place that seems 'comfortable' to ourselves. Ourselves. Not the Will of God. Once the Will of God swallows up your will, you will do everything to...

“But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.” Luke 9:55-56 KJV http://bible.com/1/luk.9.55-56.kjv  Many people get confused about what Jesus meant in this verse. You see, at this time, the disciples did not have the Holy Spirit and were still in their normal state. They did not understand; Christ and to save men's souls. He is loving, kind but just. God is merciful but just. God gave up His entire life for us, to save us from the killer, sin. Jesus wants us to follow Him, so that we may be saved. In everything we do, we must do it as Jesus would do.

“But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:” Matthew 12:39 KJV http://bible.com/1/mat.12.39.kjv Our generation is very adulterous. When Jesus was talking about adultery in this case, He was talking about how the bride sometimes ignores Jesus, and starts to chase another thing. A worldly thing belonging to Satan. Imagining have a wife that always follow another man? What type of wife is that? I don't think the husband would be very happy... You see, in Jesus there is everything! Then why oh why do we chase worldly things? Things that can be found in Christ, and these things can be found even better in Christ! Why? Stay with Jesus; everything you need.

“For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.” Galatians 5:13 KJV http://bible.com/1/gal.5.13.kjv This verse states that we have been called to freedom in Christ. Many people choose not to accept this freedom, because it seems uncomfortable to them. Satan uses earthly, material things to trap us and everything in our lives. Satan already knows his fate, and he wants others to go to that huge Lake of Fire with him. When people are revealed Christianity, they refuse to accept it and stay comfortable. Comfortable in the pleasures of sin. Satan produces fakes, God produces naturals. There is always a trap or something bad when Satan gives you something. But when God gives, it's bundle of blessings and joy! A life with God is not rules; it's being a king! A son! We have the authority of Jesus Christ, the light of Christ, the love of Christ and the mind of Christ. Don't let anyon...

“Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.” John 8:56 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.8.56.kjv  Tell me: how could Abraham have met with Jesus...in Heaven? Maybe when the three visitors came to Abraham's house? Those are all good guesses, but the Truth lies in the book if Hebrews, chapter 7. “This change has been made very clear since a different priest, who is like Melchizedek, has appeared. Jesus became a priest, not by meeting the physical requirement of belonging to the tribe of Levi, but by the power of a life that cannot be destroyed. And the psalmist pointed this out when he prophesied, “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”” Hebrews 7:15-17 NLT http://bible.com/116/heb.7.15-17.nlt This is only an excerpt of what I wanted to show you, I recommend you read the whole of Hebrews 7 to get the full picture of Melchizedek.  Now, many of you may say to me, "Hey, it says Jesus was LIKE Melchizedek, not He was Hi...

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12 KJV http://bible.com/1/1ti.6.12.kjv  Many people lose the eternal life, because of their worldly desires. It could be unforgiveness, lust, the desire for power, lust for money, selfishness, pride and many other worldly things. The eternal life that people have they do not value, because they don't know how much it's worth; the value. If you didn't know the value of gold, you would throw it away when someone gives you it. Eternal life gives you power if anyone and anything; you live above everyday situation. You reign in Christ. A king! Don't lose that for anything!

“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” Revelation 3:17 KJV http://bible.com/1/rev.3.17.kjv  What is in this world that people enjoy? If something is set for expiring soon, what's the point of trying to enjoy it? It's like you knowing that in 3 days the bread will turn into a diseased thing, as you've seen traces it's poisonous. And you still eat the bread 🍞? It could be infectious at this time... It would be common sense to let it expire quickly and just evaporate, then you can get some new bread. Done! It's like how Jesus is going to make a new Heaven and earth, sin-free and perfect. I need to tell you this; it is not the sins of the unbelievers that will take them to Hell, and then the Lake of Fire 🔥. It is the rejection of the antidote for sin that will take them to Hell, and then the Lake of Fire.  This scenario is...

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.6.9-11.kjv  Many people come themselves Christians yet one of these titles, a fornicator, an idolater or of the such, and I'm talking about any sins, according to the Holy Spirit, you aren't going to anywhere near God's Kingdom. You see, you cannot live with sin and walk with Christ. Didn't Jesus say that if you were hot or cold, He would spill you out of His mouth? “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” ...

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11 KJV http://bible.com/1/2co.2.11.kjv It's a good job the church in Corinth were aware of Satan's devices, a.k.a schemes. You see, today, Christians fall for the schemes of Satan to easily. Don't think Satan will make his schemes transparent! He'll come in the form of dresses, fake beauty, and beads and jewellery, from his kingdom. He  even has his own fake holy  communion! What else? False prophets. The reason I don't say pastors is because the name pastor is from God. And if you go and say 'some pastors', when they may not be men of God, you blaspheme. It is a sin. Be careful! Satan can even distribute a Bible verse ribbon 🎀 in the name of Christ.  So, what is the difference between a prophet or man of God and a false prophet of Satan?  One acts on the Word and teaches, one teaches it.  The real prophet or pastor acts on the Word, and ha...

“But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.” 1 Corinthians 2:15 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.2.15.kjv  To many people, this verse seems to conflict with what Jesus said in Matthew 7. Let's read it ourselves: "Judge not, that ye be not judged.” Matthew 7:1 KJV http://bible.com/1/mat.7.1.kjv  This is the very verse that many people use to get away from the Gospel. 'Don't teach me; doesn't your Bible say not to judge?' But you see, you have to address what Jesus was talking about and who he was talking to.  Answer me this; when Jesus was talking to these people, were they not sinners? Or had they been saved?  The answer is NO! They were sinners! How can a sinner lead another sinner...didn't Jesus say they would fall into a ditch? “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” Matthew 15:14 KJV http://bible.com/1/mat.15.14.kjv ...

“A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;” 1 Timothy 3:2-3 KJV http://bible.com/1/1ti.3.2-3.kjv  Wow. What things sin can do to a man's life. What love and beauty there is in God's forgiveness. Envy, strife and jealousy are powerful and easy traps, that, unfortunately, ruin many lives today. He also ha straps of anger and frustration lying wait round the corner. Their will always be traps. Everywhere. Distractions. Everywhere. But, God has made us over comers!  “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” Romans 8:37 KJV http://bible.com/1/rom.8.37.kjv  “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33...

Title: Keep your vision focused! Scripture: "But when he saw the strong wind he became afraid. And starting to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!"" - Matthew 14:30 When Peter lost focus of Jesus, and began to look at the strong wind and how powerful the waves were, his faith weakened and he no longer stood above the situation. He was now sinking. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a very good symbolism of what happens to many Christians. They begin they're Christian life, stable and focused on the target; the centre: Jesus. But, as soon as they notice how impossible the situation is or may be, or how they may not get through it, Satan doesn't wait - not even for a split second. Then, you let yourself into his trap because you lost focus. Focusing on Jesus means everything...and He is the Unchangeable Changer, the one who can fix those issues! It's a tes...

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.3.19.kjv You see, for new born believers, it takes a while for the fact that they cannot be loved by or be part of the world. Unfortunately, this is usually found out after devastating consequences. In this chapter of 1 Corinthians, verse 19, Paul talks about the Wisdom of God being foolishness to the world. This portrays the relationship between a Christian and the world. THEIR SHOULD'NT BE ONE. No-one can sit on the fence. For those of you trying, you still will belong to the darkness. Until you take a step of faith to reach the light, you and your darkness remain. After becoming a Christian, you are made holy. But maintenance and discipline are needed to keep the holiness and remain pure. People begin to defile this holiness by continuing and re-doing their past life! Don't follow them! Remain pure!  ...

“And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬ http://bible.com/1/1co.6.14.kjv

“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16 KJV http://bible.com/1/gal.5.16.kjv  As Christians, God has given us power over flesh, Satan and his demonic beings. But...many still have doubts in their minds; do I really control satan? Let me not just be saying it: back it up with Scripture!  “Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;” 1 Corinthians 3:21 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.3.21.kjv  This is why God tells us not to be envious; because everything is yours! This is why He tells us not to worry; because all things our yours. This is why we have power over satan, because all things are ours! So, whatever Satan stole from you was a case of mistaken identity! Command him to give it back; don't blame the body! 

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7 KJV http://bible.com/1/gal.6.7.kjv Many people expect world peace, jobs and no more poverty. Good goals, but unless you sow it, you can't reap it. Sow seeds of faith in your children, and they shall reap faith. Sow anger, and you will reap anger. Some people sow without knowing what they will reap, or they don't know what they sow at all! Some people make people sow things they don't want to. But, either way, you reap what you sow. So, the next time you think about being angry at the kids, be careful and remember that they learn!  Remember this; be wise! #dbverses2016 

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:19-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬ http://bible.com/1/gal.5.19-20.kjv The flesh. That is basically what Paul is describing, through the Holy Spirit, in this passage. You see, you can't be a Christian in the flesh. Become spiritual and not judge by your sight or five senses. 

“Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬ http://bible.com/1/1pe.1.6.kjv

Title: Spirit of Jesus Scripture:  "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind." -  2 Timothy 1:7 What an amazing Truth! That God HAS NOT given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. But... Question: What is this spirit?  This spirit is the spirit of JESUS! What does this mean? We have the power of Jesus, the love of Jesus, and the sound mind of Jesus! The power of Jesus enable us to pray, perform miracles, and do the Lord's Will, the love of Jesus enables us to love others, and the sound mind enables us to keep calm in tough situations.  With the Spirit of Jesus, we can make our future and fulfil our destiny!  You see, Satan puts many traps in place in our life, especially in the life of the Christian. We can uproot them in the name of Jesus through commanding prayer! Get used to using your power!  Here's a Q&A for today:  Why do people kill each other, steal or be d...

Title: Free Indeed "So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered Him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?” Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." ( John 8:31-36, ESV) What does it mean to be free indeed? For many people, getting to the freedom is one very hard step. But it isn't hard. They themselves make it hard. Jesus wants us to be free, but your faith is what matters. The man of God has his half to do, and you have your half. You can show your faith by your efforts and only that. But, don't get me wrong, God's freedom is SOOOO unique, beautiful and peaceful, a...

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:105‬ ‭KJV‬‬ http://bible.com/1/psa.119.105.kjv

Title: Distractions are Traps Scripture: "You will keep him in perfect peace, he whose mind is fixed on You, because he trusts in You." - Isaiah 26:3 Are you easily distracted or distracted in worship or prayer? Instead of coming to church, do you spend time at discos or parties? Do you have another priority than Jesus? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, check your life. This is something I'm saying - not to offend you, but to try and guide in the right way, by the power of the Holy Spirit. You see, distractions are from the pit of Hell, and, he sends them especially when you are in church, listening to the Word or in prayer or worship. A child might start making annoying noises, an accident might happen on the street, hunger, a phone call, a bang might be heard and many other ways to distract you. People believe that once you answer the phone or give in to these distractions you can come back to prayer and worship. But when you come back, you don't c...

Title:  WATCH AND PRAY  Scripture:  "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." - Matthew 26:41  Christians everywhere, from babies to youth to the adults and elderly, should all be watching, praying and at alert in the spirit. Why? Because Satan's end is closer than it was 2000 years ago. This is good. But it also means that Satan is on a stronger rampage trying to capture as many as he can to go and burn in the Lake of Fire with him. Hell, death, Satan and his angels, and those who are in Hell, are all destined for the Lake of Fire. Satan is targeting many Christians; most of them without knowing. He is doing this with 'no roots Christianity'. This is Christianity which seems simple and the right way to the human mind, which is one of the easiest traps that many fall for. But, the Bible says:  'There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death....

Philippians 4:4

“But Lot’s wife looked back as she was following behind him, and she turned into a pillar of salt.” Genesis 19:26 NLT http://bible.com/116/gen.19.26.nlt  The story of Lot's wife make a vivid point on what happens when we look back to what we miss. I can tell you, it happens daily, with Christians turning back from the faith, because they were fed with emptiness from the dead churches they belonged to. Jesus warned us about looking back on the plough - and on what happens when you look back. The Master Himself related to Lot's wife as an example of those who look back on the world and think it still holds such beauty. But, what is the point of running after something that will be destroyed soon? It's like buying milk that will expire tomorrow.  Here's what Jesus said:  “Remember what happened to Lot’s wife!” Luke 17:32 NLT http://bible.com/116/luk.17.32.nlt  You see? What is still in this world? Heaven is waiting for us; filled with love and...
