By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today!  

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE   
"Clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and make no provision for [indulging] the flesh [put a stop to thinking about the evil cravings of your physical nature]..." (Romans 13:14, AMP.)

TODAY'S WORD   
, is there something in your life that you would like to put a stop to today? Maybe it's a certain behavior, addiction or bad attitude that isn't pleasing to God. When Adam and Eve disobeyed in the garden, the first thing God did was to put clothing on them. They needed to be covered. In the same way, you and I need to be covered today. What should we cover or clothe ourselves with?

When you "clothe yourself" with the Lord Jesus Christ, you will be protected and able to stand strong against temptation. How do you clothe yourself with Jesus Christ? First of all, when you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are covered and cleansed by His blood. You are restored and renewed. Then, just as you get dressed daily, you have to daily "cover" your mind with the Word of God. That means you cover every point that has access to your thoughts. Cover your ears by listening to the Word. Cover your eyes by watching only what is pleasing to the Lord. Cover your mouth by speaking the Word and encouraging those around you. As you cover yourself with Christ, you'll be strong against temptation, you'll walk in victory, and you'll experience the good things He has in store for you!

 

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to redeem me and restore me. Thank You for making me new and covering me so that I can stand strong against temptation. Today, I submit every area of my life to You and invite You to have Your way in me in Jesus' name. Amen.


, we really do love you and we pray this will be the best year ever!

Daily Devotion from Pastor Eric & Rita - Empowered by His Presence


Empowered by His Presence

      
Today's Devotional Reading: 2 Sam. 4-5; Ps. 139; Mt. 16

April 29, 2013

By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today!  

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE   
"Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus." (Acts 4:13, NKJV.)

TODAY'S WORD   
, God wants to empower and strengthen you to overcome every obstacle in this life. He wants to give you confidence, wisdom and boldness to pursue the dreams and desires in your heart. He wants to give you supernatural insight so that you can be a witness of His goodness. In scripture, Peter and John were supernaturally equipped. Everyone around them marveled at their boldness, at their ability. They knew Peter and John didn't have any formal training. They knew there wasn't anything special about them. This power and wisdom could have only come from one place-the presence of Jesus.

, when you spend time with Jesus, people will see it. You'll be energized by His anointing and equipped by His grace. That's why it's so important to take time every day to be in His presence. No matter where you are on this earth, His presence is only a prayer away. Scripture says He is near to all who call upon His name. It says that He inhabits the praises of His people. Make your relationship with Him your number one priority and be empowered by His presence each and every day!

 

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY   

Heavenly Father, I humbly come before You giving You all that I am. I surrender every area of my life to You and invite You to have Your way in my heart. Empower me with Your love as I daily set my focus on You in Jesus' name. Amen.


, we really do love you and we pray this will be the best year ever!
