I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.Luke 10:19

"I am the Alpha and the Omega" says the Lord God who is and who Was and Who Is to come, the Almighty". Revelation 1:8

Friend, there is nothing impossible to God. I cannot stress this enough. You can go to Him with all of your troubles and not just some of them. He really cares about you. When you have a pressing need, you must be diligent by bringing it to the Lord in prayers. Being diligent does not mean to be consumed by your situation. Remember God is in control. He is waiting to deliver you. His plan for your life is a good one. Trust Him for complete victory, and it doesn't matter if somebody you know went through the same situation and yet he/she didn't have victory. Don't measure God's ability by what is going on in somebody else's life.

Diligence means that you have to pray and read the word dealing with the issue you are going through. Let's say you need healing; then you must read and meditate on healing as often as you can. Faith comes by hearing (understanding) the word of God. You must read the word, listen to tapes and CD's. You must confess the outcome expected. You do the same thing when dealing with financial issues and so on.

Is the devil giving you trouble at every turn today? Is he trying to shake you down? If so, you have the power to turn the table on him. Start making him miserable for a change. You have the power to do it. You have the power inside of you to destroy his works, to heal, to deliver, to set the captives free, to reclaim you peace of mind, your emotional wholeness. An anointed man of God told my mother years ago that she has so much power in her that every time she wakes up in the morning the devil should worry and fear. The word of God says the devil should flee from us and not the other way around. (James 4:7) Jesus died to destroy the work of the devil (1 John 3:8). You have power through the blood of Christ.

At this very moment, right now, as you are reading this, the power of Christ is working within you. Align your thoughts with His might and you will accomplish great things. It does not matter what the situation looks like. You are to keep walking by faith and not by sight. You are more than a conqueror in Christ. You are destined to win in Jesus Name.

I command you to go give the devil some trouble today by acting the power you know you have (in Jesus) and by walking in faith and perfect peace. You are not alone. You have power in Jesus. You are powerful!

Praise the Lord!

Are You Saved?

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

Saved means SAVED! It means delivered from something that, without intervention, would result in injury or death. It means to be preserved from something. Even the dictionary will tell you that being saved, in the religious sense, involves deliverance or preservation/redemption. God says true salvation is being delivered from death, but this is not what is commonly believed.

What is salvation? I recently found out that there are people who have been going to church all of their lives and yet they are not saved. There are people who go to church weekly and yet they are not sure that they are saved. they still argue about destination after physical death. Sadly. people do not read their Bible. Friend, you can believe the plan of salvation and go to hell. You're not saved by the plan of salvation; You are not saved by going to church and do good. You're saved by the Man of salvation: Jesus Christ. His blood made salvation possible. You say, "Well, I believe if you live right, you'll go to heaven, "I'm a member of a good Bible-believing church." It's not any of these things. It's Christ. My pastor says to me when I was probably ten years old that Salvation is not believing something; it is receiving Someone: The Lord Jesus Christ.

Salvation is one of the promises of God to all believers: to be given the gift of eternal life. To be "saved" in the full sense of the word means to have received eternal life. The word salvation is also used to describe the process we go through before we can receive eternal life. (In a few scriptures "saved" refers to redemption, one of the steps in the process of salvation). The Bible exposes the life of Paul's epistles we can witness his struggle against his flesh upon accepting his salvation. You cannot be saved and continue the life you lived before, you cannot be saved and continue to lie or cheat or whatever your stronghold may be. Salvation must bring change. It's alright to struggle periodically but true salvation brings transformation.

We are all Spiritual beings. All of us will live eternally. The only question is where will each one of us will spend eternity? There are only two destinations and one simple choice today will decide your destination. It is that simple. Everyone will eventually face the death penalty. Since the wages of sin is death. You should be concerned. It is very important to know where you stand. Where you are going to spend eternity should be a major concern. You know your life better than anyone else. Look inside of you and answer these questions for yourself: Am I saved? Am I a work in progress? Am I changing or am I living the way I always lived? You may lie to your family and friends, and you may even lie to yourself but God is omniscient, all knowing, He sees everything, nothing escapes Him, Glory! It's time to get real and make the proper adjustment. Repent of your sins, accept God grace through Christ and start your new life: Eternal Life. Eternal life does not start after death. You can start it here on earth right now by choosing Christ as your lord and Savior. It is not as complicated as you have heard.

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

Salvation is only by faith through Christ. Nothing else will do: not your generosity and not your good heart. You can be sure of your salvation. You no longer have to wonder. My friend, invite the Lord Jesus Christ in your heart today and be sure!

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 91

¹ Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.^[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.”

³ Surely he will save you
    from the fowler’s snare
    and from the deadly pestilence.
⁴ He will cover you with his feathers,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
⁵ You will not fear the terror of night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
    nor the plague that destroys at midday.
⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
⁸ You will only observe with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.

⁹ If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
    and you make the Most High your dwelling,
¹⁰ no harm will overtake you,
    no disaster will come near your tent.
¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways;
¹² they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
¹³ You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

¹⁴ “Because he^[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
¹⁵ He will call on me, and I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble,
    I will deliver him and honor him.
¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him
    and show him my salvation.”

True Love............

Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Friend, love is a big theme in our society. There are countless websites claiming to be able to help you find love. It is really quite interesting because each one of them is loaded with thousands of profiles. People are desperately looking for love. Have you ever had an opportunity to read some of these profiles? People are searching for perfection. (Disease free, thin, smart, beautiful, tall, rich or have a great job, good communicator with no relationship baggage, ect.). But God wants you as you are: Sick, imperfect, broken, hurt, full of baggage, loss, confused, rejected. No need to change to find God's love because His kind of love will enrich and transform. Glory! There are times in our lives when those who claim to love us refuse to talk to us and ask for space but my dear friend, there are no silent periods with God's love. God love never takes a break. Divine love will always continue throughout time and eternity. In the darkest and the loneliest of nights, there will always be the eternal light of God's love. Glory to God! All you have to do is submit to love by allowing Christ to reside in your heart. He will never leave you. His promise to be with you through your valleys and mountain tops is true. You can count on His great love.

Love by definition has many components, without any of them, love is missing. This is evident by the seven definitions for love mentioned in the scripture above. Love does not insist on its own schedule and time constraints, and true love is not easily shaken, or only works when it is convenient. Jesus tells us here that our greatest command is to love. God gives us the ability to love when we are born again, the Holy Spirit fills our heart with the love of God so that we can show His love to others. What is it about true love that touches every heart? Why does the simple phrase "I love you" waken such universal joy? Why is it that some spend a lifetime pursuing love? You see, love was what prompted God to give His Son to die for sinners. Jesus explained "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind. And you must love your neighbor as yourself." (Luke 10:27). Responding to true love is part of our genetic make up because we are children of God and Love is God's attribute, which He delights in manifesting openly by sending Jesus to die on the cross.

God's love is persistent, ever-present, and very powerful. Our lives are transformed by the presence of love. All true love originates from God. Christians are to receive and replicate this love in their lives so people can know of God's love. When filled with God's love, we can understand things that we could not otherwise understand. The wonderful thing is that the more we know God’s attribute, the more we are going to obey His command to love "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment Matthew 22:37). Friend, love starts with God. One of my favorite preachers once said that “Trying to find lasting love without obeying God is like trying to quench thirst by drinking from an empty cup you can go through the motions, but the thirst remains.” We often miss out on this comprehensive picture of God's love because we are searching for it at all the wrong places while taking God’s love for granted. Invite Jesus Christ into your heart and experience true love.

Praise the Lord!

Choose Christ..................

"Be alert, your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8

www.bibletouravecjoline.blogspot.com

We have been learning about the things that made the Devil feel at home in our lives. The list is quite long, we will not continue to cover example. You understand by now, that anything that does not glorify God in your life attracts the Devil.

Friend, you can pray, you can fast, you can ask people to lay hands on you and cast the Devil out of your life, but I can assure you that nothing will change until you repent and make the quality decision to stop Satan's influence over your life. You have to be willing. Now it does not matter what area of your life need the change, it can be victory over sins, it can be restoration of your mind and soul, or physical health, it can be emotional wholeness, nothing will change until you make the cautious decision to get "your" victory. Remember, Jesus had asked the man at the pool of Bethesda, wilt thou be whole? (John 5:6). He did not ask him would you like to be well. The man had to be willing in order to receive healing.

God sent Jesus to the cross to carry our burdens, to give us victory over sins and to make us whole. He bore our sicknesses, He carried our diseases, and He already won every battle "you are facing by His death on Calvary, but it takes decision from your part to receive the victory you are searching for. It requires determination on your part before you can actually achieve victory. Decide to be free today.

Praise the Lord!

Jesus is my One True Love...............

Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. John 14:1

www.bibletourwithjoline.com
www.bibletouravecjoline.blogspot.com
www.bibletourwithjoline.blogspot.com

The love of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has no limitations. As He was approaching the end of His ministry one would think that He'd be more concerned about what was to happen to Him (He was about to accomplish His mission by dying on the cross to reconcile man with God), but He wasn't worried about himself. He instead chose to comfort the disciples. He knew what was in man and was well aware of what was passing in the minds of His disciples. He knew how they were troubled, and what anxious, and despairing thoughts were arising in their hearts, and He could not help but be touched with the feeling of their infirmities. They could not enter into His feelings; but He, could enter into theirs. There was room in His large heart for their sorrows, as well as His own. He feels their griefs, as if they were His own; and kindly comforts those whom He knew were soon to desert Him in the hour of His deepest sorrow.

"Let not your heart be troubled" (John 14:1). It was the sorrows of their hearts which now occupied the great heart of love and not His destiny. The disciples were troubled at hearing that one of them should betray Him (John 13:21). They were troubled at seeing their Master "troubled in spirit" (John 13:21); troubled because He would remain with them only a "little while" (John 13:33); troubled over the warning He had given to Peter, that he would deny His Lord not once or twice but tree times. They must have been confused because right after His entry into Jerusalem they had heard Him speak of Himself as the "corn of wheat" which must fall into the ground and die. He had said, "Yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you." All this must have been sufficient to fill them with anxiety and sorrow. Jesus of course knew it. He understood their sorrow and opted to once again put their needs before His own.

Friend, it should be remembered that the Lord Jesus was speaking not only to the Eleven disciples, but to us as well. "Believe in God," is an exhortation which we constantly need. "Let not your heart be troubled" definitely was not addressed to the eleven disciples alone. It is as relevant today for you and I. Friend, God knows what is best for you. He is still in control of "your" world, and He makes all things work together for "your" good. He is on the throne, ruling the army of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth and our savior.  Jesus Christ is sitting at His right constantly reminding Him of His great love for "you", the love that cause Him to die so that you may have abundant; therefore have no fear. Though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though your world seem upside down and your trials and tribulations come thick and fast, still worry not.

Though you are misunderstood and unappreciated, though your children abandon you, and you are rejected by a spouse, your last relationship ended once again and no one seems to care about you, but my dear friend you can believe in the absolute, immutable, and unconditional love of God. "If God be for us who can be against us?" Believe in the love that sent His only son to die so that you and I can become a son/daughter of the almighty God. Believe in His absolute sovereignty, His infinite wisdom, His unchanging faithfulness; believe in the limitless compassion of God. Believe in the One who put your needs before His own. Believe that one day (soon) He will come to take you with Him so you can be where is for all eternity. "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am, there you may be also." John 14:3

Praise the Lord!

God Speaks.............

In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. Hebrews 1:1-2

www.bibletourwithjoline.com
www.bibletouravecjoline.blogspot.com
www.bibletourwithjoline.blogspot.com

God is a good Father and an awesome communicator. His children know how to expect because He always tell them ahead of time and even when they go against His will He always finds a way to bring them back to Him. Since the Fall of Man, God had made talking to His children a habitual occurrence. He spoke to Moses, Abraham, David, the prophet Isaiah and many more people in the Old Testament and yet God people continue to live wickedly. In the New Testament, God decided to send His Son as an act of love. Jesus is the Word of God.

Friend, when you find yourself in need of a word from God, look up to Jesus. He is the Word of God to us. Jesus should be your go to contact in times of great need. He walks on this earth as a man. He knows the struggle you are up against and He knows how to help you because He himself was tempted in every area (but never sin). He understands temptation and He will give you victory because He overcomes the world. Jesus was never afraid. He walks with the confidence of the love of the Father and He exercise authority over sickness, temptation and (wait for it) even death. Jesus taught us by example how to live in fellowship with the Father and how to have dominion over the creation.

God does not have to say another word. He already sent you a word. He sent you His only Son. Are you in need of Wisdom? Look into the Word. Do you need healing mind, body and soul? Look into the Word. Do you need financial freedom? Look into the Word. Do you need to renewal dead relationships? Look into the Word. Do you need salvation for a loved one? My dear friend look into the Word. Jesus is the Word. He is God. He is Lord forever!

Put the Word to good use. Apply the Word to your situation and be blessed!

Praise the Lord!

Trust and Obey.........

For our present trouble, which is only for a short time, is working out for us a much greater weight of glory; (2 Corinthians 4:17)

www.bibletourwithjoline.com
www.bibletourwithjoline.blogspot.com
www.bibletouravecjoline.blogspot.com

Matthew 9:28-29 tells the story about how Jesus asked these blind men, "'Do you believe that I am able to do this?'" What did they say? "'Yes, Lord.' Then he touched their eyes and said, 'According to your faith will it be done to you,' and their sight was restored.'" The Bible is full of God's promises, but unlike the promises that we make, God's promises are true and he fulfills every one. Abraham believed God's promise that he would be the father of many nations. He did not waver through unbelief but was made strong as he believed in the promise of God, because he knew the one who promised it was able to perform it. You have to rest assured that God is still able to perform miracles. He is able to hear and answer your prayers. God gives us grace every time we pray. God is able to answer your prayer, and if you are born of God, He will most certainly answer it. Contrary to popular belief, God does not only answer prayers about our great needs. He gets involved in our minor troubles as well. He is a loving and concerned father. He cares about everything about us. You can trust Him and go to Him with all your complications.

Jesus Himself lived like that, in daily unhindered communion with the Father, He went to Him all the time so that He could say to His Father and our Father, "I knew that you hear me always" (John 11:42). And all the teaching of Jesus about prayer shows that we too can have communion with God. Friend, the normal Christian life is a life of regular, daily answer to prayer. It is perfectly normal for an obedient child to ask God for things in prayers and get it, get all he wants. "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" (Matt. 7:11). Friend, trust God, He will not fail you. Dare to be like Daniel. Read your Bible for the better you know God, the easier you'll find it to trust and obey Him. And the more you'll sense how deeply God cherishes you, and how desperately He wants to answer your prayers. So learn more about God each day. Grow closer to the glorious God who treasures you beyond your wildest dreams. You can trust Him. Focus on Him and be blessed.

Praise the Lord!

Discipline our Children...............

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6

Truly, I was formed in evil, and in sin did my mother give me birth. Psalm 51:5

Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4

www.bibletourwithjoline.com/dailydevotions.asp
www.bibletourwithjoline.blogspot.com
www.bibletouravecjoline.blogspot.com

Children need training. Psalm 51:3 tells us that inside every one of them is a sinful nature and it begins expressing itself almost immediately after birth. Parents have the responsibility to show them how to live right. Therefore, parents are not only challenged to teach children to do the right thing, they also have the obligation to punish them when they do the wrong thing. If parents do not punish their children when they are young, then the children will punish them for sure in the future. I see red when a parent let a child gets away with terrible behavior. A wise parent trains up a child in the way He should go. Not according to the parent's will for the child, but according to God's will. Children should be trained in ways that lead them to develop a hunger for God and are internally motivated. Parents must raise the children right. Parents who do not discipline their children because they don't want to make them unhappy are setting themselves up to be disappointed in the future and they are setting the children up for failures and worst of all, they are in disobedience to God. To train the children young is a command from God and not a suggestion.

The Bible offers 5 good reasons to discipline our children:
* To Remove Foolishness - Pro. 22:15
* To Rescue From Judgment - Pro. 23:13-14
* To Receive Wisdom - Pro. 29:15
* To Relieve Anxiety - Pro. 29:17
* To Reflect God's Character - Heb. 12:10-11

By following God's word we can raise children who avoid evil and serve God faithfully. Bible principles about child raising are very critical. The subject of raising children deserves careful study by almost everyone. Are you a young person, not yet married? Almost certainly someday you will be a parent or will work with children in some capacity. Acts 20:27 implies that Christians must teach "the whole counsel of God." That includes Bible teaching about parenthood. All of us need to learn this, no excuses. So if you have children or ever will have them, and even if you don't have them, as a Christian you need to know God's will. Allow me to remind you that it is far easier to build a child that to repair and adult and friend, please allow the Lord to help you to do everything in your power to be the best parents you can be to the children He entrusted you with, for His glory.

Praise the Lord!

I Trust God................

The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes. Deuteronomy 1:30

www.bibletourwithjoline.com/dailydevotions.asp
www.bibletourwithjoline.blogspot.com
www.bibletouravecjoline.blogspot.com

Life gets tough but we can handle it. We do not run and hide when things get tough. We can face adversity head on when we have Christ. The truth is that challenges facilitate growth. I'll be the first to tell you that I do not like to go through adversity but I know that my challenges have been instrumental in my Christian Walk. I learn at a very early age that I perform best under pressure. My hardships have kept me in check and at God's feet and I now see them as opportunity to see the glory of God but it wasn't always the case.

There are stages in walking with God and I was just teaching that lesson to my niece earlier. When walking with God we will know his ways and his heart, but when we only go to him when we have a need we will never know his heart. We are not entitled to anything. God gives us by grace. We have to spend time with God. We have to enjoy the relationship with him. Our priority should be the relationship and not the advantages that it brings. It is only by staying near God that we will get to know Him. As he takes us from victory to victory our faith gets strengthened and we no longer panic every time we get a telephone call or every time the doctor open his mouth. I have learned a long time ago that it is easier to trust God than to worry. I had a taste of that peace that surpassed all understanding and I wanted it to be a lifestyle. You too can do it. You can decide to trust God no matter what you hear and no matter what you see. You can put your flesh under control. Say "Flesh, I will trust the Lord. I will not worry. God will see me through this as well. the blood of Christ gives me victory over sickness, disease, lack and curse"

God has been taking care of His children since day one. Why wouldn't trust Him? He took his people out of Egypt. He saved some out bondage. He delivered one out of the lion's den. He saved others from the furnace. he can be trusted. His record speaks for itself. Friend, learn to trust God and be blessed!

Praise the Lord!

Restoration.............

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.” Ezekiel 37:4-6

www.bibletourwithjoline.com/dailydevotions.asp
www.bibletourwithjoline.blogspot.com
www.bibletouravecjoline.blogspot.com

God can restore whatever situation you are facing today. The Bible is filled with countless stories of restoration. Redemption is major theme in the Bible. God wants his people to trust Him and to live in total peace. There is nothing that He cannot do. I am sure you remember what He did for Joshua, Daniel and many more. Do you remember the story of Paul in the island of Malta? Paul was beaten by a poisonous snake? The people of the island thought he would die and started to speculate that perhaps he was a murder and later on they concluded he must be a god. Though your situation seems dangerous right now, it is not the end. Don't you worry! God wants to restore you. People maybe talking about you and laughing behind your back but God is about to lift you up for his glory. You have to stand firm and you have to hang on to the word of God. He promise to never forsake you and He will not. He is the promise keeper. He will do what He says. He can be trusted. He will restore health back in to you. He will restore your finances. Your love ones will come back to Christ."I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten--the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm my great army that I sent among you." Joel 2:25

How many times have you wished you can turn back to time and have a new beginning? How often have you wished you could get something back whether it is a health, wealth or a love one? With God every day is an opportunity for new beginning. Lamentations 3:23 says that His mercies are new every morning. God loves you so much that He chose to forgive and forget our sins and our past by the cleansing blood of Jesus. Why wouldn't He restore you? God wants you to know that He loves you. He is with you through high and low. He sees you. He hears you. He is a good Father. You are not an orphan. There will come a time when He will dry your tears and He will not allow you to be shamed and talked about anymore. This is the truth. The situation you are facing is temporary. God is going to show up in a major way.He will breathe new life into you.

Then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you. Deuteronomy 30:3

Praise the Lord!

MY Rock, My Fortress & My Deliverer!

The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Psalm 18:2

www.bibletourwithjoline.com
www.bibletourwithjoline.blogspot.com
www.bibletouravecjoline.blogspot.com

God has a reputation of being everything to His people. He was David's fortress, Daniel's deliverer and my rock. The first time rock appeared as a metaphor for God was when Jacob blessed Joseph. He calls God “the Rock of Israel.” That is a powerful image of God. I grew up in a mountainous Caribbean islands and rocks are not easily moved and they are used for safety. When I think of rocks, I think of a place of safety. When I was a child my mother was my rock. I knew God, My mother was my safety, my go to person for comfort and when she unexpectedly died in her mid thirties my world also crumbled. I desperately needed someone I can turn to and someone who cares and could make things better. Fortunately my mother was a praying woman who lived by the Word of God. She made sure we knew God. When nothing else made sense, I always found refuge in the Lord. When I was at my weakest point the Lord was my rock.

Thankfully, I was introduced to God as a child and I grew up knowing Him as my rock. I did not have to struggle with it as an adult. I was blessed to have known God as my rock, my stronghold and deliverer at an early age. Now as an adult, I realized that I have been through many changes. I have had high and low moments. I have lived many places. I have experiences certain level of success and I struggled in some areas but God has always been consistent. He remains faithful through my ups and downs. He remains my rock. As I am facing some challenging times, I am encouraged for I know my redeemer lives. He will work it all out for my good. I do not have to be afraid.

My dear friend, you too need a rock. You need someone who cares. You need someone who will always hear you. You need someone to shelter you in time of great danger. God is the ultimate rock. The One who will never leave you or forsake you. The beauty of it is that you do not have to ask God to be your rock. He already is your rock. When you are hurting and need a hiding place, go to him. When you are happy and need to share your joy, go to him and give him praise. He is the One who causes everything to work out for your good. He is a good father who only wants good for his children. You need God all the time. Invite Jesus Christ into your life and let God be for you what he has been for many before you: A fortress, a stronghold, a refuge and a rock!

Praise the Lord!

Come to Jesus...............

Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint." Jeremiah 31:25

On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. John 7:37

I just can't comprehend why Christians insist on carrying their burdens. Jesus invite us to come to Him. We do not have to do anything alone. He is with us. He wants to lighten the load. Let us turn our worries to him and let us rest. People who believe in God experience peace. Worry comes from unbelief.It is unbelief that causes people to be/remain restless. Christians should spend a lifetime trying to believe. There must come a time when Christians surpass the point of unbelief and just believe. The above scripture invite us to come no matter what the need. You and I must learn to go to God for all of our needs. We must enter His rest. Christ died for our victory. We no longer have to strive. We can actually attain through Christ.

My dear friend, do you trust the Lord? Do you know that He loves you and He will bring you through? You do not have to worry about anything. Victory is yours. Do not panic. Do not spend your night crying and second guessing your decisions. Bring all your concerns to the Lord in prayer. At the end of the day it is all that matters. An eternity with him is worth getting excited even if nothing else ever happened in your life. You are already saved from eternal death and you have eternal life through his death and resurrection. You have a reason to shout. You have a reason to praise.

"Come to me" is an invitation you cannot pass on. You can continue to worry or you can go to him. The choice is yours. I pray that you will make the right choice and be blessed.

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 3

How many rise up against me!

2 Many are saying of me,

“God will not deliver him.”



3 But you, Lord, are a shield around me,

my glory, the One who lifts my head high.

4 I call out to the Lord,

and he answers me from his holy mountain.

5 I lie down and sleep;

I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.

6 I will not fear though tens of thousands

assail me on every side.

7 Arise, Lord!

Deliver me, my God!

Strike all my enemies on the jaw;

break the teeth of the wicked.



8 From the Lord comes deliverance.

May your blessing be on your people.

Paise the Lord!

God Loves "YOU"

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." (Psalm 100:5).

This message does not get old. It is imperative that we understand how much God really does love us.  He sent His son to die for our redemption.  Father God has a love for us that far surpasses the love of any human parent. God is the Father of those who accept and follow His Son (John 1:12). "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" (Matthew 7:9-11). The kind of love that God offers is unconditional and difficult to comprehend. We are too used to "Quid pro Quo". We are not used to unselfish love. God love so much that He sent his son to die to reconcile us with Him. The original sin separated us from God but God made possible through the sacrificial death of the lord Jesus Christ. You and I are loved! But you don't have to take my word for it. Look around and see God's love. Examine you own life and realize His love. Pray to Him and feel God's love. Each time you read the Bible I know you will be able to understand that God loves you. He does not require you to change in order for him to love you. He loves you as you are and his love will transform you.

So you you just received disturbing diagnosis from the doctor? Your spouse walks out. Your children are rebellious. The challenges are many but you have not lost it all. God loves you. He promised to always be with you and that nothing could ever separate you from Him. You can still be joyful. You can still have a future. When you have God, you have everything. God never asked you to understand His love. All God asked is for you to receive it. No guilt, no second guessing and no mental anguish. His love is pure. it is available to you. There is no need to be skeptical. God has an excellent track record. He can be trusted. You can rely on his life changing love.

The Lord Jesus Christ offers each one of us a fullness of life that is impossible without him. He said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6), and "I am the bread of life" (John 6:35), and He also indicated, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again" (John 3:3). Jesus' death, resurrection, and offer of eternal life is the greatest manifestation of God's love for you.

If you have not been born again (accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior) if you have not yet decided to become a Christian/ follower of Christ, let me officially invite you to come to him right now. The Bible says in Romans 10:13 "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." My dear friend, do not wait any longer. Do not waste another minute. Give your life to God by accepting Jesus as your Savior and Lord right now. You also can be recipient of this great love. You can do what you have always done or you can try something different. "Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him." Psalm 34:8
It is so easy to do so right here, right now and in the privacy of your own office. yoou can say this simple prayer:

Father in the name of Jesus, I thank you for this opportunity to approach you. Thank you for sending Jesus. I realize that I am a sinner. I also know that I need a savior. I confess Jesus is the living son of God who came and died for my sins. Please forgive my sins and accept me in your family. Be my Savior and the Lord of my life. I surrender all that I am to you. Take complete control. I thank you Lord. I praise you Lord. Amen!

Praise the Lord!

What to Do when the Devil Attacks your Joy..........

He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. Psalm 91:15

and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me." Psalm 50:15

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. Jeremiah 33:3

An area that the devil attacks is our joy. Christians don't always seem to recognize his work in that area as quickly as they should. By the time they realize his work, he had already done much damage. That is why the Bible urges us to be vigilant. I have learned from scripture that Satan is persistent. We have to be even more persistent when it comes to resisting and rebuking him. It is important for you and I to remember that when we let the devil steal our joy we are in disobedience to God. We lose our joy when we worry and choose to believe Satan's lies over God's truth. God says tells us not to fear. He says he will always be with us. He says to be of good cheer. God says he will never forsake you. You need to find strength in God's word.

Friend, you must remember that Satan will consistently try to take the circumstances in your life and turn them into an attack. (Psa 55:22) Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. Satanic attacks are indeed burden and God wants us to cast that burden on Him since He knows our own strength is inadequate for the job of fighting Satan. Fighting the devil is a job that God is well-equipped to handle. Your job is to hand your burden over to God. To carry your burden is to disobey God.(2 Cor 13:8) For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. When you are under attack because of the devil's lies answer with truth just like Jesus did when He was tempted. Satan cannot handle truth and he can’t destroy truth. That is why it is imperative that you get familiar with the truth found in scripture. Read your Bible. It would be silly to go to war without weapons. Like wise, it is silly to handle your warfare without the full armor of God.

Friend, as first sign of sadness cut it off with the word of God and start praising God.So put on the full armor of God. Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (James 4:7

Praise the Lord!

Do Not Be Afraid!

Do not be afraid of sudden terror or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes, for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught. Proverbs 3:25-26

There are a few passages in the Bible where God tell us to “Fear Not”. I found 31 verses, there could be even more, and that makes me wonder why the word of God discusses fear? God knew that our journey here on earth wouldn’t be easy and we’d have to face some challenging times and we may be tempted to fear, as the loving father that He is, He left us with certain guidelines to get through our temptations. Fear can paralyzed you and keep you fro praying and keep you from enjoying the life that God gave you. Well, fear is a powerful force that can keep your focus off of God, and that is the most dangerous aspect of fear. We tend to focus on our circumstances more than God, but Jesus died on the cross to take us from our circumstances. So many Christians today worry about things they have no business worrying about. The word God urges us to bring all our burdens to God. Not some of them, not the ones we can’t fix ourselves but all of them.

Fear should not be in the heart of the believer because it is rooted in unbelief. Faith and fear cannot co-habit. You either have faith or you don’t. If you are terrorized by the fear of what might suddenly happen to you, around you or in the life of your love ones than you are in disobedience because the word of God tells us not to worry because God is able to supply all of our needs. He has done it before and He will do it again. There are a lot going on today, from wars to national disasters, to numerous scary/devastating new diseases that keep coming out of no where. There are numerous natural disasters in every part of the globe, but we remain in faith because we believe in God’s ability to come through for us. We know whose children we are.

My friend, don’t worry. Whatever it is you are fighting right now is temporary. God is going to work it out. As a matter of fact, Christ already won the battle for you more than 2000 years ago. Whatever it is, as hard and hopeless it may seem in the natural, DON’T WORRY. It is already taken care of in the spiritual. God is the answer. He wants to help and He is able. Call on His name and invite in, tell Him about your trouble, He cares and loves you. Remain in faith and He will see you through it. There is no need to fear when you put your faith in God.

Be courageous and be fortified in Jesus name.

Praise the Lord!

Be Encouraged!

How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 36:7

David was a very spiritual man. God said "a man after my own heart"). He admitted he had challenges and expressed them through song in his psalms. The reality is there are so many people struggling through life with one form of challenge or another. I think what happens is that when we go through hard times, somehow we feel like we are the only one going through it. We tend to feel like no one else has been through this or even see the vulnerable places of our heart and can relate to what’s going on in your life. We tend to forget that we still have God on our side, and He is the one who really matters. God wants us to trust Him. He does provide for those who put their trust in Him. When He wanted to provide for Abraham, He tested his faith by asking him to sacrifice his only son (we know that God did not spare his own son for our salvation). God wants us to trust Him. He does provide for those who put their trust in Him. When He wanted to provide for Abraham, He tested his faith by asking him to sacrifice his only son (we know that God did not spare His own son for our salvation). A man of God has this to say about faith "Faith isn’t believing in God in spite of evidence but it is obeying in spite of consequences."

Christians still count on their own ability. When in trouble, they get discouraged if they are unable to see a way out. They worry time and again and finally, in absolute frustration and when they have exhausted all they know to do, they finally surrender and declare that it's now "in God's hands?" Friend, God should not be your last resort. He is our first and only hope, God will really provide for those who trust in and understand that He is indeed Jehovah Jireh. After analyzing my life, from childhood to today and after reading my Bible thoroughly, I am convinced that is NOTHING that cannot do. God can do all things. "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist" Colossians 1:16-17. As believers in Christ, you and I must trust the Lord. When troubles come, we must trust that God it all under control and that He has our best interest at heart. The True Believer does not ask why he should trust God; instead, he asks, "How can I trust God more fully?" The true believer does not ask why this and that has happened or haven’t happened to me, he instead invite God to use him as He sees fit.

God loves us and wants to help us with ALL our problems (from a broken nail, loss of employment, to our struggle with Diabetes, Cancer, High Blood Pressure, to our broken relationships and our emotional trials). All we have to do is let Him in. He wants to help. He wants to be in our lives. He wants us to experience His peace but we need to read and meditate on the Word to know him better. We can only trust someone we know. Friend, get to know God. Let Him be to you what He already is: Your creator, your provider, your healer, you joy, your peace, your salvation and your everything. Let not your heart be discouraged. He is able!

No weapons of disease, no weapons of death, no weapons formed against you shall prosper. Trust God. the adversary cannot win.

Be saved! Be healed! Be delivered!

"The fear of man brings a snare: but whoever puts his trust in the LORD shall be safe" (Proverbs 29:25)

Praise the Lord!

Amazing Love!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

I went through a couple of years of denial following my mother's death. I refused to pray. I refused to honor God. I refused to eat. It sounds silly now but it made perfect sense to the twelve-year old that I was. I decided that it was all a scam and God did not exist and if He did exist, He did not love me. The truth is I knew God. I loved Him but He never had my whole heart. I only loved him when all was perfect. In my own way I thought I was punishing him by denying him. Even in my rebellion I knew that there was a God. How can I punish Him if he did not exist? I was miserable not only because of the loss of my mother but also because I was grieving the relationship God and i once had. I missed our fellowship and I did not want to admit it. Thinking back today, It scares me that I stayed away for so long. But even when I ignored God, He did not forget about me. Though I no longer loved him, He loved me anyway. He brought me face to face with my own mortality and I came back running. I cried over the loss of my mother so hard and so long that I forgot that I was also a mortal. I forgot how desperately I needed God but one day He gave me an experience that was greater that having both parents alive. He touched my heart and restored our relationship. He reconnected with me and brought me back home to him and that was a bigger miracle than healing. Friend, healing is minuscule compared to salvation. God taught me in one week the lesson that my mother tried to teach me for twelve years. I finally learned that there is no bad news when I have Jesus as Lord.It is a win/win situation. Regardless of what happened in my life, I still have God and that is all that I need. After it all said and done I will be with God in glory. My mother knew Christ as Lord and Savior and she is now with him in glory and there is no better deal than Jesus.

I do not know why God did not spare my mother's life but I believe that all things work together for our good. My mother had her own relationship with Christ. I did not have inside information concerning their relationships but I know that God is a living God. I know that He is a giver of life and not a taker. I know without a doubt that everything that happens in my life is part of His divine plan and that God is putting me in position for the next stage of my life. I know that God cares about me. I know that He loves me despite my imperfections and when I become to look inside of me and away from my circumstances I was able to feel His unconditional love.

Dear friend, are you at a crossroad? Do you believe that God had forsaken you? I have good news: God cares. He loves you. He hears your prayer and He wants to save you. God wants to touch you also but He does not want part of you. He wants all of you. God is a good father and He wants to cradle you in his arms. He wants to consume you and He wants to shower you with his love but are you willing to receive it? What do you want more? Do you want a relationship with God or do you want all the riches of the world? Friend, it is time to come to God and remain at his feet. He says to seek his righteousness and everything else will be added on to you. Are you one of those people who are going through the motion but never really make a real connection with God? It is about time that you let that love that is inside of you come to life. It is about time that you choose God. He already chose you. God wants to touch you. He wants to reveal himself to you in a big way. Is your heart ready? He does not want you to be perfect. His love will perfect you. Come as you are. Health, wealth, family are all good but none of it greater than salvation. If you really want it all then come to God. Salvation is about healing mind body and soul. The Bible says to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. Choose life (eternal).

Jesus Christ is the greatest miracle. The Bible says that every knee shall bow at the sound of his name. Cancer, Diabetes, Heart disease, High Blood Pressure and anything you may be facing today shall bow at the name of Jesus. When you have Jesus you have it all. Jesus comes with healing, joy, peace and salvation. My friend God loves you regardless of what you feel and what you see. It is time to step in your destiny and be what God wants you to be. When you have God, sickness no longer intimidate you. Sickness is an opportunity to experience God's glory. Go after Jesus and everything will change. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

Let us pray: Father in the name of Jesus I come before you today. Thank you for being an accessible Father. Thank you for opening up my heart to your truth. Thank you for sending your son. Thank you for your love and the gift of salvation. Thank you for pursuing me. Thank you for not giving up on me. I am no longer looking for treasure on earth. My treasure is in you. You are my redeemer. You have my complete attention and all of my heart. I no longer wish to be cautious when it comes to your kingdom. Use me for your glory. You have full access Father and please use me as you see fit. I love you and I adore you for only you are worthy, only you are holy and only you are God

Praise the Lord!

Facing Terrible Times.............

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you.” Isaiah 43:2

How should we deal with grief? The world seems to be a very dangerous place. Natural disasters alone are enough to keep people running scared. There are more kidnapping than ever before and numerous gun-related shouting. Child abuse does even shock us anymore, it is part of our current event, but how do we deal with all of it? Do we run to the pharmacy for Valium like the world does? Should we sleep through life or should we face our grief head on? A friend told me the other day that he was thinking of moving somewhere safer than here. A place where there will be no hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquake, tsunami, ect. God is Omniscient, Omnipotent, Beginning and End. He is everywhere at the same time. We cannot escape His presence. He is able to protect us wherever we are. We don’t have to run scared and stay up all night. He who watches over us does not sleep. This is no time to be half-consecrated and some what dedicated. This is the time to go all the way with God, to give Him your whole life. This is the time to start relying on His might totally.

One of the lessons I recently learned is that we have to put the Word of God to good use. It’s nice to read it and to know the truth but you won’t really get excited about the Word of God until you realize that it’s more than just a collection of inspired stories and that it’s actually guideline provided by our heavenly father to carry us from victory to victory when we apply it to our life. The same power that raises Jesus from the dead is available to us. We are children of God. He is in us and us in Him. When dealing with grief we must call on God’s power. Naturally, our flesh cannot take much grief, but we do have the. God has everything in abundance and He wants to give us everything abundantly. It’s all at our disposal. He loves us too much to force anything on us, but when we ask, we do receive. Praise the Lord!

The Word God in the above scripture didn’t say we wouldn’t pass through the waters, but it did promise to be with us when we do. Glory! When you go through the fire, you will not be scorched, so why are you afraid? You already know the outcome. When all is said and done, you are going to be alright. So how do you deal with grief? You do it with courage and faith, holding to God’s promises and by continuing to praise Him through it all. You are not another ordinary, lonely person. You are a special, extraordinary, legitimate son/daughter of the Living God. Stop trying to believe in God. Take it up to the next level by actually putting your faith in Him. It’s time to stop being a spectator, watching God work wonders in other people lives. It’s time to be part of it all and claim your inheritance. Once you do that, changes will start to take place in your life. I am so excited this morning, Are you excited? You and I have nothing to fear. We are never alone. In the middle of a month full of bad news God gives us a reason to smile, to hope and to move forward. Love, serve and praise God with your whole heart. Walk closely with Him in the good times and through your grief. Remember, God will not take your cares away from you. You have to give them to Him. As hard as it is, you are the one responsible to keep your thoughts under control, but you can do it, “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” 1 John 4:4

Praise the Lord!

Authority in Jesus.................

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed". Isaiah 53:5

www.bibletourwithjoline.org/dailydevotions.asp
www.bibletourwithjoline.blogspot.com
www.bibletouravecjoline.blogspot.com

I often hear Christian say that it is the will of God for them to be sick. God is probably teaching them a lesson when they get ill. You need to know this and act on it today. It is not the will of God for His children to be sick and poor but the devil's. He has convinced people into believing that God is putting them to a test. Jesus bore our sicknesses so we wouldn't have to be sick. There's authority in the word of God and we must act on it. Christians don't know that they must apply the word of God in their lives. The Bible is not for the early Christians only; it is as valid today as it was 2000 years ago. You have to apply the Word of God to your life.

When you get sick or facing a financial challenge you have to cast it out by speaking the word of God. You have to fight with the Word and that is why it is so important that you know the Word, People perish for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Jesus didn't suffered sickness on earth until He received every disease that could affect mankind on the cross. "He took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses" (Matthew 8:17). We don't have to beg for Healing. We are children of the most High God, and He already provided the medicine to our diseases and it up to us to exercise the power and claim the victory and rebuke the devil for we have the authority in Jesus name. As Jesus hung on the cross, He said, "It is finished" (John 19:30), it meant that God's plan for redemption was done. Jesus was the sacrifice. The work is done. You can have your miracles financial and physical and emotional; it is the will of God for you. The word of God is the will of God.

"Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick."(Luke 9:1-2)

"And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease." (Matt. 10:1)

Praise the Lord!

Living According To God...........

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2

To live the will of God, you must know what it is. The will of God is "what God intends to do in and through your life for His glory." Most of God's will is revealed in the Scriptures (Bible) and some of it is revealed piece by piece as you grow in faith and in your relationship with God ("In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.") Proverbs 3:5-6. As you seek God's will through your journey, He will reveal Himself to you. Glory! I promise you, it is the sweetest thing. When you realize God's presence in your daily living, you can truly live a life without limit. You can go from victim to victor. "I am the Lord, your God, who teaches you what is best for you!" (Isaiah 48:17) and Romans 12 tells us that God's will is "good." Do you think of the Lord's will as good? I don't know anyone who wants to keep repeating the same mistakes. God really wants the best for us when He gives us His will. You're on to something good when you find the will of God for you and when you start living in His will, your life will forever changed. God's will is the only plan for a SUCCESSFUL LIFE.

Friend, you can say you love God all day long but if you are not living a sacrificial life and start resisting temptation then how much do you really love him? Love come with certain sacrifices and you have to be willing to make them. The will of God comes from the heart of a loving heavenly father and therefore it cannot be anything but "good, pleasing, and perfect" for you and for me. You cannot run away when the going gets tough. God created us perfectly. We have what it takes to go through trials and come out of them victoriously. We have the Word of God which is His will. "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

Are you going through the same issues? Are you going in circle? I don't care what you are going through today, there is a way out. Christ lay His life down so you and I can have access to the perfect will of God. Let's pray this simple prayer: Lord, make me think about your will the same way you do. I want to love the will of God, relish the will of God, embrace the will of God and Lord Jesus I want to submit to the will of God no matter what and Lord I believe you have the power to make it so. I trust you to be the Good Shepherd and I know you will lead me to green pastures. I love you and thank you." Amen!

Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you,' declares the LORD, 'and I will restore your fortunes and will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 63

1 You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.

2 I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
3 Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
4 I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
5 I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

6 On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
7 Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
8 I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me.

9 Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;
they will go down to the depths of the earth.
10 They will be given over to the sword
and become food for jackals.

11 But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God will glory in him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.


Praise the Lord!

Healing Confession..........

Let the Word of God speaks louder than anyone else. All of God promises are yes and amen. They are yours. Receive them.

“I refuse to fail!” That what you need to tell the devil and every challenge in your life! No matter what storms come against you, the Greater One lives on the inside of you & He will empower you to live in victory in every area of your life. It is time to speak life over your situation! Take authority and establish a word of victory over your body. All enemies are conquered before you ever face them. Jesus defeated them at the cross. Cancer, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Dementia, Multiple sclerosis don't have any power over you. Healing is yours in Jesus Holy name. Confess this today “I simply refuse to become agitated anymore; I am holding on to my peace at all costs. Reject fear, and embrace faith. Let your heart remain fixed trusting in Jehovah.

1. Psalms 118:17 “I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of Jehovah.”
