"Witnessed to at the Proper Time!"(1 Timothy 2:5-7)

"5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles."(1 Timothy 2:5-7)

Greetings Saints of God in Christ Jesus,

You and I have been appointed to take the Gospel message to the nations.  Jesus Christ has called us to please God in this way.  We begin with praying for all and follow the instructions given to be witnesses in this present age.  There are so many tools like the internet, radio, TV, etc. to be used for God's glory.  Let us persevere in preaching this good news to the world.  Jesus is soon to return!  Let us be found faithful and true!

Challenge:  

"8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing."(1 Tim. 2:8)

"He Hears Us!"(1 John 5:14-15)

14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. (1 John 5:14-15)

Believers in Christ Jesus should have the confidence in seeking God in prayer!  His will is revealed in the Holy Bible.  The Holy Spirit is given as the Counselor and Advocate to pray through us with the goal of leading to the truth.  The importance of a private prayer life is being magnified in these last days.  Why?  More and more believers will need discernment.  They will need to take their responses to life to the Lord in prayer.  There is no other way to survive and keep one's faith grounded in the truth.  This is the truth, "He hears us."  God listens and responds.

Challenge:  

"13 I remain confident of this:

    I will see the goodness of the Lord

    in the land of the living.

14 Wait for the Lord;

    be strong and take heart

    and wait for the Lord."(Psalm 27:1-14)

"Like a Tree!"(Psalm 1:1-3)

"1 Blessed is the one

    who does not walk in step with the wicked

or stand in the way that sinners take

    or sit in the company of mockers,

2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,

    and who meditates on his law day and night.

3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,

    which yields its fruit in season

and whose leaf does not wither—

    whatever they do prospers."(Psalm 1:1-3)

This Bible verse calls us blessed when we avoid evil and mockers, find joy in God's law, and think about Him continually.  There are results to follow these actions.  We are like trees strong and having much fruit.  We are people of His presence.  We have an awareness of the Lord Jesus because of the time spent with Him. Other results are: We are growing and prospering in faith in Jesus!

Challenge:  This is growth is meant to bring us closer to Jesus.  He is in charge of the results.  Jesus stated, "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."(John 14:12)

"Victory by Faith!"(1 John 5:4)

“For we live by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7)

Greetings Saints of God,

Spiritual battles are being waged for the souls of family, friends, enemies…  It is our faith in God that will win the victory.  Faith is not relying upon the physical realities, but it is trusts in the One who is real in acting upon our prayers.  Jesus replied, “ Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”(Matthew 21:21-22)

Child of the Most High God, you must ask and believe.  If you must, keep asking, seeking, and knocking, your faith will be rewarded.  This is a promise of God.  Believers live by their faith.

Challenge:

“For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”(1 John 5:4)

"The Weapons We Fight With!"(2 Cor. 10:3-5)

“Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”(Ephesians 6:12)

It is hard to remember the above verse when you are going through battles with people.  It is the truth.  Believers if not abiding in Christ Jesus and unbelievers under the enemy’s influence are at times coworkers with evil.  Their minds are blinded.  They have been taken captive to do the enemy’s will.  Addictions, gossip, evil plans, and habitual strongholds are devices being used.

What is one to do?  Fight!  How? 

“Though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.  The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.  On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.  We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”(2 Corinthians 10:3-5)

Christians living for God have the weapons of prayer, praise, giving, fasting, and living in obedience to God’s Holy Bible.

Challenge:  Live by faith and practice the above disciplines.  “Everyone born of God overcomes the world.  This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”(1 John 5:4)
