How to make the Word come Alive within you
Reblogged from nonelikejesus.tumblr.com Have you ever read a portion of Scripture – perhaps even several pages or chapters – only to realize that you have no idea what you just read? Your eyes may be reading words but your mind is thinking about the phone call you just received or your day’s schedule. If you wish [...]

I just loved yesterday’s reading. (I’m a day behind). Here is an excerpt. My Utmost for His Highest By Oswald Chambers // As long as you maintain your own personal interests and ambitions, you cannot be complety aligned or identified with God’s interests.

He’s been there
How Christ’s Humanity can encourage us Hebrews 2:14-18; 4:14-16 How many different challenging life experiences can you think of that Jesus participated in, and therefore can encourage us in? Is there anything practical that we can do to receive this encouragement into our lives? The Gospels tell us of the ways that Jesus was tempted. [...]

UNDER THE SAME YOKE
This brought great encouragement to me yesterday. It is the balance of Jesus as my yoke-mate that I desire. I am learning everyday what it means to keep in step with the Holy Spirit, responding and listening in obedience so that His voice becomes loud and strong in my heart and mind. I am prone [...]

My awesome friend Rose and I have been sharing links back and forth this week and she sent this link to a site called Internet Cafe Devotions and as I read just a couple of them I knew I needed them. I posted this prayer on my FB wall and have been re-reading it daily, [...]

“My present focus is learning to fall in love with Jesus, allowing Him to show me areas in my life that are not pleasing to Him, and ridding those things from my life. I am also learning to daily deny self and to pursue an intimate and passionate relationship with God, who has an amazing [...]
Sing and Make Melody
*Photo by Jessica Marquez* from Neil Anderson’s Daily in Christ devotional: Ephesians 5:18, 19 Be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord. How pathetically unaware we are of the biblical prominence of music in the spiritual realm. [...]
Under Spiritual Attack
from Neil Anderson’s Daily in Christ: UNDER SPIRITUAL ATTACK 1 Timothy 4:1 The Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons A seminary student stopped by my office to tell me he was having difficulty getting to school on time.
