Matthew 4:23

"Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people."

-- Jesus is the manifestation of who God is. If you look at Jesus you see God. Jesus taught the people and proclaimed the Good News of the Kingdom God and healed every sickness among them. He revealed the heart of God.

God is still healing and delivering today. May we enter into the blessings that the Lord has to offer and not fall short of living in complete victory and joy. Amen.

prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus I thank You that You are still healing and delivering today. I thank You that I can live in the Kingdom of God. I pray that I will be strong and trust in You at all times. I praise You. Amen.

In His service,

Psalm 121

"I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber, indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber not sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore."

--This is such an incredible Psalm. It is filled with amazing principles. If we seek and look to the hills (the hills around Jerusalem, sacred Mt. Moriah, where the Lord was crucified) the Lord is ready to help. He will sustain our lives, He does not get tired, He watches out for us and protects us. He keeps us from evil and guards our lives.

May we rest today, knowing that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the same God who watches and sustains us. Amen.

prayer:
Dear heavenly Father, I thank You for Your Word. I thank You for the principles and promises found in it. I look to You now, I pray that I will trust You in everything. I love You Lord. Amen.

How Precious is the Word of God

"and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
2Timothy 3:15-17

-- The Word of God is our final authority. The Scriptures are God's words to us, His thoughts, His laws and His ways to us. We learn who God is, what He is like and What He desires. We find direction, comfort, correction, and strength in the Scriptures. May we have a renewed hunger for the Word of God today.

As strong as we are in the Word of God is as strong as we will be as a Christian. May we give ourselves to reading the Word on a consistent basis.

prayer:
Dear heavenly Father I thank You again for Your Word that is so powerful and life giving. I pray for a renewed hunger and thirst for Your Word. I pray that You will open my eyes to see great things from Your Word. I praise You. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

In His Service,
Philip
