March 21, 2014

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    
"Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God." (Hebrews 3:12)

TODAY'S WORD   
, we all know of situations, activities, and places we can go that make it easier for the devil to tempt us. But now that we have been delivered from his power, we don't want to put ourselves in a position of vulnerability again.

Why do I bring this up? Because I believe that we are living in the last days. And one of the prophetic signs we sometimes forget about is that in the last days, there will be a great apostasy, meaning that people will fall away from the Lord. According to 1 Timothy 4:1, "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons." This means that in these critical days in which we are living, the devil is walking around like a roaring lion and is looking for people that he can pull down (see 1 Peter 5:8).

But the Book of Hebrews warns about the perils of spiritually turning away. Hebrews 3:12 tells us, "Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God." Notice this verse doesn't address unbelievers. Rather, it is a warning to Christians. The passage continues, "But exhort one another daily, while it is called 'Today,' lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end" (verses 13-14). Did you catch that? You will "become partakers of Christ"-if you are faithful to the end. In other words, you need to cross the finish line.
  
 
A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY    

Blessed are you, Lord God: Blessed are you for ever. Holy is your name: Blessed are you for ever. Great is your mercy for your people. In the morning I cry out to you: Blessed are you for ever.

 

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I praise you and give you glory: I bless you for calling me to be one of your holy people. Remain in my heart, and guide me in my love and service all of this day. Help me to shine your light before others and lead them to the way of faith. Holy Trinity of love, I praise you now and for ever. In Jesus Name, Amen.

, my your life be full of His blessings. 

Pastor Eric & Rita
