Thirty Second Devotions

Devotional
Before I was saved, I had a whole different way of thinking. I had my own theology. I thought that I could get to heaven by going to church, and doing good works. When I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior, that old way of thinking went out the window. It is only by grace, through the precious blood of Jesus, that I can get to heaven.
 
 
Scripture Reference
1st Corinthians 5:7
Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.
 
Action Point
When you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are transformed. I am no longer the man I used to be. The stench of sin has been removed, and I am made new by the cleansing blood of Jesus. Trust in Jesus today, and let His blood wash you white as snow.

Devotional
There is no such thing as self righteousness in God's eyes. We are either righteous, or we are sinners. We can not get to heaven on our own righteousness. We will never make it. It is only through the shed blood of Jesus, that we can enter into God's presence.
 
 
Scripture Reference
Philippians 3:9
and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

Action Point
The only righteousness there is, is through Jesus. Any thing that we do is rubbish to God. It isn't about what we do. It's about what has been done. Three nails plus one cross equals forgiveness.

Devotional
I used to go to a lot of gospel singings. You could always tell the ones who were singing for the Lord, and the ones who were singing to be seen by people. When you are up front, all the people see is you. When you step back, the people will see Jesus.
 
Scripture Reference
John 3:30
"He must increase, but I must decrease.
 
Action Point
Jesus needs to be the center of attention. When you live a Christ centered life, the only thing people should see is Jesus. He must increase, but I must decrease.

Devotional
I hope the title of this devotional got your attention. The fact is we spend too much time going to church, and not enough time bringing the church to others. Jesus never said, stay, and I will bring them to you. He commanded us to Go. We can't let our light shine before men, when we keep it inside a building.
 
 
Scripture Reference
Mathew 5:16
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
 
 
Action Point
Yes, we do need to go to church, but more important, is that we bring the church to others. Take time this week to share the gospel with others. Let them see the light that shines in you. Don't hide it under a bushel.

Devotional
Have you ever had something so wonderful happen, that you couldn't stop talking about it? I know that I still talk about the day my children were born, and the day I got married. The fact is these things are minor compared to the wonder of what Jesus did for me on the cross.
 
 
Scripture Reference
Psalm 34:1
I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
 
 
Action Point
We can never praise the Lord enough for saving us. The gift that you receive, when you ask Jesus in your heart is the most wonderful gift you will ever receive. I can't stop talking about it. I can't stop praising Him for it.

Devotional
We often times will have many reasons for not doing what God has called us to do. We say; I can't do it. It is too hard. Jeremiah said "I cannot speak, for I am a youth." God will not call you to do something, then leave you to do it all on your own. He will be there with you.
 
Scripture Reference
Jeremiah 1:6-7
Then said I:   "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth."  But the LORD said to me:   "Do not say, 'I am a youth,' For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
 
Action Point
God will give you what you need, when you need it. Trust in His will, and heed the call. He will give you the words to say, and the strength to accomplish what He has called you to do.

Devotional
What is motivating you, when you pray in public? Is it to keep up appearances, or is it just a ritual? We need to pray with a sincere heart. God knows our motives when we pray. Ask yourself this one question. Why am I praying? If it is to please men, then you are praying for the wrong reason.
 
Scripture Reference
Matthew 6:5
"And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.
 
Action Point
Before you pray in public, ask God to guide you. Pray to Him, and no one else. Be sincere, and don't try to please the people around you. Pray to God, and only Him.

Devotional
Have you ever started to do something, and something told you not too? Have you ever felt that you needed to do something, yet no one told you to do it? Often times the Holy Spirit will guide us. You don't need to search the scriptures, and no amount of study can teach you like the Holy Spirit can.
 
 
Scripture Reference
1st John 2:27
But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
 
Action Point
Listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying to you. Let it guide you, and direct you in all that you do. You cant get it buy studying, or by being taught. It is only by His power.

Please be in prayer for Judi Eckert. They found a mass on her ovary. Pray that it is not cancer. Please pray for the doctors, and nurses that are treating her.

Thanks and God bless

Devotional
I remember when my boys were little. Anything that I said, they would believe. They didn't ask questions, or even doubt me for a minute. God wants us to come to him with that same faith. If our Father says it, then it must be true.
 
Scripture Reference
Mark 10:15
"Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."
 
Action Point
It is only by faith in Jesus, that we can enter into heaven. There is no other way. There is nothing that I can do to earn my way to heaven. I can't even buy my way into heaven. It is only by faith in Jesus, and nothing more. Place your faith in Him today.
