Stiving to get closer to Jesus every day and sharing what I learn.
Rick Costa Now, suppose a person has enough to live on and notices another believer in need. How can God’s love be in that person if he doesn’t bother to help the other believer? Dear children, we must show love through actions that are sincere, not through empty words.
– 1 John 3: 17-18 (GOD’S WORD ® Translation)
Generosity, whether financial or otherwise is something that should be automatic for a Christian. Jesus wasn’t just a preacher but was a Man of action.
God establishes us, together with you, in a relationship with Christ. He has also anointed us. In addition, he has put his seal of ownership on us and has given us the Spirit as his guarantee.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22 (GOD’S WORD ® Translation)
The angels, the devil and all the spiritual world can plainly see who belongs to God. Why do you think the enemy is working so much harder to destroy you since you’ve been saved? Thank God His angels protect us!
“It is written in the prophets, ‘AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

For those that still say that Jesus never claimed to be God…well here you go! Anyone wanting to learn about God simply needs to find Jesus.
“So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. “A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. “So then, you will know them by their fruits. ”
– Matthew 7:17-20 (New American Standard Bible ©)
What kind of fruit do people see you producing from your life? Believe me, it gets noticed!
We don’t look for things that can be seen but for things that can’t be seen. Things that can be seen are only temporary. But things that can’t be seen last forever.
– 2 Corinthians 4:18 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Don’t put so much focus on the physical things of this world that come and go like the wind wind but rather on spiritual things that are eternal. Having fun is ok but bringing souls to God is better.
My voice shall you hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer to you, and will look up.
-Psalm 5:3 (American King James Version)
The best way to start the day is by talking our Heavenly Father. Jesus did it. We should too.
“When you go to war in your own country against an enemy who is oppressing you, the trumpets will sound a fanfare. Then the LORD your God will remember you and rescue you from your enemies.
– Numbers 10:9 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
Blowing trumpets often represent praise to God in the Bible. So before you have to enter into a big battle be sure to lift up a loud praise unto God for the victory!
For He had cured many of the people, so that all who had any ailments pressed upon Him, to touch Him.
– Mark 3:10 (Weymouth New Testament)
Are you desperate enough in your pain to reach out and touch Him for your healing? He doesn’t simply have healing…He IS healing.
O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
– Psalm 30:2 (New American Standard Bible (©1995))
Doctors are limited by their knowledge in what they can do for us and thank God that they are there to help but the ultimate true healer is the Lord Himself.
He has done this so that they would look for God, somehow reach for him, and find him. In fact, he is never far from any one of us.

Did you ever play hide and seek as a child? Well with that same determination, go and seek after God. He wants you to find Him. Once you start, it won’t be long before He reveals Himself to you.
