Mathew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. When you read this, how can you think anything other than how much God loves you? On more than one occasion, while praying for people, I have had a vision of Jesus wearing a crown of thorns, placing a yoke upon His shoulders.

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Let me give a bit of the historical background. It starts about 250 years before this event when the twelve tribes of Israel split into two different nations, Israel, which was composed of ten tribes. The other two tribes were Judah and Benjamin, the two most minor tribes, which made up the kingdom of Judah. The king of Judah was ex

Ezekiel 4:1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it the city even Jerusalem. I’ll have to paraphrase this devotion because the verses needed are too long, but please open your bible and read verses 1-7. The Lord is telling Ezekiel to take a tile and make a drawing depicting the city of Jerusalem. Next, he tells Ezekiel to build fortifications around it, laying siege to the city. Then here comes the confusing part, God tells Ezekiel

1John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure. It seems like every man struggles with hope. Hope defines us for who we are. The word hope comes from the Greek translation, el-pece´, which means: expectation or confidence: - faith, hope. People can easily place their hope in the wrong things. Every belief you have is trust-based; someone or a source that you trusted shared some information or taught you on a subject, with or without r

Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because God does not punish sinners instantly, people feel it is safe to do wrong. Does this verse relate to what’s going on in the world today? It seems as though people have no regard for God or man, no fear of judgment. I have heard people say this: “If you don’t get caught, it’s not a crime.” But, the truth is this, even if you get caught and paid the maximum penalty of human law, you will stand in judgment before God, and if you’re not caught, you will

Psalm 103:13 He is like a father to us, tender and sympathetic to those who reverence him. Webster's dictionary defines the word 'Reverence' as, Profound respect mingled with love and awe; as for a Holy being… God loves us; in fact, you can't out love God. As much love as you can muster, He still loves you more. He's a Father to us, loving and compassionate. Tender means to take care of any person or thing, and sympathetic has an enormous meaning, but I believe He means to su

Psalm 119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad. This scripture is one of those verses you can read over and thoroughly not understand and just keep on reading. What the Psalmist is saying is this: I have seen a limit to all completion. Psalm 104:9 And then you set a boundary for the seas so that they would never again cover the earth. Everything has a boundary, even the oceans. God set a limit to what things can do. A plane can only

Ecclesiastes 7:8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Our nation is in adversity & much trouble—people scoffing in the land that wants to be free. When you read or watch the news, there is so much violence and so much hate. Place the afore trio into a funnel, and it dribbles down to this, bondage. It is all about trying to bind the Holy Spirit, and The Holy Spirit has told me, ‘He wants to be fr

Genesis 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. On the day of the forbidden fruit, what did we do? We have all partaken of the forbidden fruit, the fruit of temptation. The enemy tempts everyone, and just like Eve, we have all eaten. There are so many ways the enemy can deceive. Jesus is the, Way the Truth and the Life; Satan is the father of all lies, quite the contrast. The enem

John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. & Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. In the beginning was The Divine Expression, the Logos of God. Notice that in John 1:1, Word is capitalized because it is the name of Jesus Christ. When written In the original Greek, they used the word Logos, and Logos means: The Divine Expression (That is Jesus Christ
