“HONORING THE MESSAGE AND THE MESSENGER!”

“HONORING THE MESSAGE AND THE MESSENGER!” Matthew 23:39 “for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” In the latter part of Matthew 23, Jesus speaks a very strong word to the nation of Israel as He weeps or grieves over Jerusalem. But after the cross, those known as the people of God began to expand and even now, not only the nation of Israel are the people of God.

“THE FINAL GREAT AWAKENING – MYTH OR TRUTH!”

“THE FINAL GREAT AWAKENING – MYTH OR TRUTH!” Zechariah 10:1 “Ask the LORD for rain In the time of the latter rain. The LORD will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain.” There is no doubt in my mind that according to Bible prophecy, there will be a Great Awakening, or an End Time Revival as some call it, which must take place before our Jesus returns.

“PURSUING JESUS!”

“PURSUING JESUS!” Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” What is God’s kingdom and what is God’s righteousness? First of all, according to Romans 14:17 the kingdom of God “is not eating and drinking, but {it is} righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” In other words, it is maintaining a consistent expression of the kingdom of God in your life—when you are at church, at home, on the job, at the grocery store or anywhere else; and it is also more.

“WHO’S BEEN MESSIN’ WITH YOUR HEAD?”

“WHO’S BEEN MESSIN’ WITH YOUR HEAD?” Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” The Greek definition taken from the Strong’s Concordance used for the word “condemnation” is a compound word from which I interpret it as, “to put down mentally!” Other dictionaries also define “condemnation” to mean, “a strongly worded rebuke.” God is not condemning you; but the devil is.

“WHAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH MONEY?”

“WHAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH MONEY?” Hebrews 13:5 NLT “Stay away from the love of money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never forsake you.” In the context of this translation, Paul is not saying that we are to stay away from money. And he is not saying to remain satisfied with what you have and never strive for more. [To read this devotion, click link]

“HEALING FROM INSECURITY!”

“HEALING FROM INSECURITY!” 1 John 4:18 (GW) “No fear exists where His love is. Rather, perfect love gets rid of fear, because fear involves punishment.” Have you ever loved, and yet lived in fearful torment that you might be rejected for not loving others perfectly? This verse is often misunderstood as to whose love is spoken of here. When people attempt to love perfectly and still fall short, they find themselves feeling “insecure” and rejected over time. But as we all sometimes fall short in meeting the expectations of others, God always loves us perfectly, leaving us feeling secure and safe in Him. [To read this devotion, click link]

“AN EVERLASTING COVENANT FOR JEWS & GENTILES!”

“AN EVERLASTING COVENANT FOR JEWS & GENTILES!” Genesis 17:7 says, “And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.” When Abram was 99 years old, an everlasting covenant was established between God and Abram. This everlasting covenant seems to be exclusively for the Jews, even though scripture records that this covenant reaches to all the descendants after Abram. [To read this devotion, click on link]

“WHEN WE ALL PULL TOGETHER!”

“WHEN WE ALL PULL TOGETHER!” Ephesians 4:16 NLT “Under His direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.” Do you remember that little song we sang as Children, which said, “When We All Pull Together, how happy we’ll be”?

“THIS GOSPEL SHALL BE PREACHED!”

“THIS GOSPEL SHALL BE PREACHED!” Matthew 24:14 “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” There are a lot of so called gospels being preached today, but I always like to look and see what Jesus has to say on any subject. First of all, who is Jesus talking to? And keep in mind that the church had not begun yet? So, let’s find out. [To read this devotion, click on link]

“BIBLE-BASICS FOR LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH!”

“BIBLE-BASICS FOR LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH!” Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,” The truth is; the gospel is not hard to understand, but many seemingly intelligent people have complicated the message by mixing it with “logical” explanations of “how hard it is!” Rest in Jesus or hard work in religion.

“THE GLORY OF GOD!”

“THE GLORY OF GOD!” Genesis 3:7 “Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.” At creation, God clothed man in His Glory. They were naked, yet they were covered. When they sinned, they made natural coverings for themselves because their supernatural covering was removed. [To read this devotion, click link]

“DOES THE LORD REALLY GIVE & TAKE AWAY?”

“DOES THE LORD REALLY GIVE & TAKE AWAY?” Job 1:21 “And {Job} said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.” This scripture has been used on many religious occasions, most often at funeral services. Ever wonder why many have asked, “Why does God do so many bad things to people?” [To read this devotion, click link]

“I BELIEVE I AM HEALED!”

“I BELIEVE I AM HEALED!” 1 Peter 2:24 “who Himself {Jesus} bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.” There are believers who do not believe that God still heals today. Others believe that God only heals if you are deserving enough. And still others believe that God heals occasionally… [To read this devotion, click link] http://www.billhanshewministries.org/Devotion--259.html 

“I’VE HAD ENOUGH CHURCH!”

“I’VE HAD ENOUGH CHURCH!” Acts 2:42 “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.” We must understand that people who have been hurt or wounded at church seem to have a hard time separating God from church attendance; even though church is an important part of the believer’s life and an important piece of biblical instruction.

“HELP FOR YOUR UNBELIEF!”

“HELP FOR YOUR UNBELIEF!” Mark 9:24 “Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” This story is one of many in which Jesus did not refuse to provide healing. This father said his boy had been demon possessed from his childhood. Jesus never turned anyone away and the Bible tells us repeatedly that Jesus healed them all.

“THE CURSE ON THE devil’s HEAD!”

“THE CURSE ON THE devil’s HEAD!” Genesis 3:15 “He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.” When the serpent deceived Eve, her husband watched the whole encounter rather than using the authority he had to stop the enemy. Adam had complete dominion over every living thing in the garden, and when the devil came into the picture, Adam had the authority, but didn’t use it. [To read this devotion, click link]

“RESOLVING MARITAL CONFLICT!”

“RESOLVING MARITAL CONFLICT!” James 1:19-20 “¹⁹ My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, ²⁰ for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.” God formed man from the dust of the earth, then took a rib from his side and made a woman. Men and women have been destined to meet, fall in love and get married. It is God’s plan. [To read this devotion, click link]

“THE FAITH OF GOD!”

“THE FAITH OF GOD!” Mark 11:22 “So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.” The Young’s Literal Translation is said to be one of the closest translations to the original manuscripts. What it says is, “Have faith of God.” Even the Greek Interlinear says having the, “faith of God.” There is a difference between having the faith of God, and having faith in God.

“KEEP PRESSING ON!”

“KEEP PRESSING ON!” Philippians 3:14 “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Often we hear someone say, “Just keep pressing on!” When you are seemingly at your lowest moment in life, how do you just keep pressing on? Every believer must strive for one essential thing & that is to know the Word. For if you know the Word of God; you will come to know the heart of God. [To read this devotion, click on link]

“HOW TO GET FED IN CHURCH!”

“HOW TO GET FED IN CHURCH!” Romans 1:16 “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.” I have noticed that church dinners draw larger crowds than church services. If church is boring, people will be bored and may not pay attention. Boredom may be a symptom in those who do not realize the importance of being fed from God’s Word.

“ONLY A LIE CAN KEEP YOU FROM VICTORY!”

“ONLY A LIE CAN KEEP YOU FROM VICTORY!” Hebrews 4:15 “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.” We know the devil was defeated through the cross, grave and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Even though this is true, many fail to walk in that freedom when the enemy comes at them with a temptation.

“GOD’S SUPERNATURAL REFRESHING!”

“GOD’S SUPERNATURAL REFRESHING!” Isaiah 28:12 AMP “To these [complaining Jews the Lord] had said, This is the true rest [the way to true comfort and happiness] that you shall give to the weary, and, This is the [true] refreshing--yet they would not listen [to His teaching].” In this word, God wanted His people to put their faith in Him and not just in the ritual of a Sabbath rest.

Faith Unlimited e-magazine August 2015

Plus there are many, many more wonderful articles. I pray you enjoy this issue and share with your family and friends. https://issuu.com/fayeghanshew/docs/august__2015-9-a/1?e=0 

“EMPOWERED THROUGH PRAYING IN TONGUES!”

“EMPOWERED THROUGH PRAYING IN TONGUES!” 1 Corinthians 14:19 “yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.” As Spirit-filled believers, we are accustomed to speaking or praying in tongues in our private time, which is a place most people call, the prayer closet. But also according to the teachings of the Bible, we are taught to pray in tongues in our public worship services. [To read this devotion, click link]

“MY FAITH IS ESTABLISHED BY HEARING!”

“MY FAITH IS ESTABLISHED BY HEARING!” Romans 10:17 “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Great importance is placed on hearing the Word of God in this single verse of scripture. James 1:22 tells us to be “doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” Here we are encouraged to do what we hear, because we have to hear it before we do it.

“THE IMPORTANCE OF HEARING & RECEIVING TRUTH!”

“THE IMPORTANCE OF HEARING & RECEIVING TRUTH!” Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” It is the will of God for us to grow in His Word. It takes wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other for this process to take place. [To read this devotion, click link] http://www.billhanshewministries.org/Devotion--270.html 

“THERE ARE ANGELS AMONG US!”

“THERE ARE ANGELS AMONG US!” Hebrews 13:2 NLT “Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!” God has sent angels among us for many reasons, & they include the protection of God’s creation. God personally has assigned angels “to keep you in all your ways”, which means that angels are charged to protect you… [To read this devotion, click link] http://www.billhanshewministries.org/Devotion--272.html

“ARE YOU MOVED BY SYMPTOMS OR BY THE WORD?”

“ARE YOU MOVED BY SYMPTOMS OR BY THE WORD?” 2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” The Greek word for “sight” used here has to do with our physical senses. While it is vital to pay attention to our physical and mental senses, it is extremely important to understand that we also have spiritual senses (or sensors), which are driven by the knowledge of God’s Word.

“GOD WILL TURN IT AROUND FOR YOU!”

“GOD WILL TURN IT AROUND FOR YOU!” Deuteronomy 23:5 “Nevertheless the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam, but the LORD your God turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.” Have you ever had a situation you thought could never be fixed? It’s time to put your faith in how great your God is & not in how big your circumstances seem to you. [To read this devotion, click link] http://www.billhanshewministries.org/Devotion--274.html

“GOD’S FOUR-LETTER WORDS!”

“GOD’S FOUR-LETTER WORDS!” Ephesians 4:29 “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.” The world seems to have an array of choice four-letter words they are not ashamed to use. While I’m not going to list these words, it is important to understand that God has some four-letter words He likes. [To read this devotion, click link]

“LOVE JESUS & OBEY!”

“LOVE JESUS & OBEY!” John 14:15 “If you love me, obey My commandments.” As Jesus speaks here, some translators say that this should read, “If you love me, you will keep My commandments.” Either way, it is important that we as believers obey or keep what the Word commands us to do. Did you know that many Christians have a problem with the word “obey” even if Jesus did say it? [To read this devotion, click link] http://www.billhanshewministries.org/Devotion--278.html 

“WHEN THE CHURCH PRAYS!”

“WHEN THE CHURCH PRAYS!” Acts 12:5 “Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.” We live n a sense-ruled world where natural things can affect us. Yet as we deal with the supernatural realm, the more we progress n understanding the authority of God’s Word & the Name of Jesus; the more we learn 2 live by our supernatural senses.

“HOW THE TITHE HONORS JESUS!”

“HOW THE TITHE HONORS JESUS!” Hebrews 7:8 “Here mortal men receive tithes, but there He receives them, of whom it is witnessed that He lives.” Jesus is our New Covenant High Priest & has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ & those blessings are designed to be released from the spirit realm & manifest in this natural realm through an act of our faith.

“TRUE FREEDOM COMES FROM JESUS!”

“TRUE FREEDOM COMES FROM JESUS!” John 8:32 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” When we think of freedom, many people ponder the freedoms a particular nation can afford them. However, no military can fight for, nor can any government pass any laws that could ever provide any degree of freedom that would last for an eternity.

“WHEN THE GLORY CAME DOWN!”

“WHEN THE GLORY CAME DOWN!” Acts 7:55 “But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.” This was said about a man named Stephen as he was being stoned to death, but it also gives us a picture of a person who is “full of the Holy Spirit” and one who catches a vision or glimpse of the glory of God.

“MY MIRACLE TESTIMONY!”

“MY MIRACLE TESTIMONY!” Psalm 107:20 “He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” In 1996 I had an injury and was in need of a miracle. I had injured my back, went to many doctors, only to find myself getting worse. I felt like the woman in the Bible “who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up” (Luke 13:11). [To read this devotion, click link]

“SPEAK THE WORD ONLY!”

“SPEAK THE WORD ONLY!” Matthew 8:8 “The centurion answered & said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word & my servant will be healed.” What does it mean to speak the word only? It simply means to say what God says every time you speak. The truth is; if we are not saying what God says, we are saying what the devil is speaking to our minds. [To read this devotion, click link]

This issue has 4 stars throughout the magazine that you click on and hear a song. 3 of those songs are tributes to our Country.

“WHAT DOES THE WORD SAY?”

“WHAT DOES THE WORD SAY?” 2 Corinthians 4:13 “And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak.” The thing that will satisfy the stomach, meaning to be hollow or the hollow place deep inside, is supplied through the words that come out of your mouth (Proverbs 18:20). The thing that will heal your body or supply your need comes from or out of what is coming out of your mouth. So, the question is; what’s coming out of your mouth?

“GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE!”

“GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE!” Romans 8:31 “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” Have you ever faced a battle in life and absolutely felt alone? The reality is; you were never alone, God was with you the entire time. It’s like the story called, footprints in the sand. As you are walking along, you see one set of footprints and the devil says, “See there, God has abandoned you and left you all alone.” [To read this devotion, click on link]

“FROM THE SUPERNATURAL—INTO YOUR HAND!”

“FROM THE SUPERNATURAL—INTO YOUR HAND!” Ephesians 1:3 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.” Every tangible blessing that exists before your eyes today and everything you are able to touch with your hands, manifested out of the supernatural or heavenly-realm.

“IF YOU BELIEVE IT, THEN GO AHEAD AND SAY IT!” 2 Corinthians 4:13 “And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak.” Christians everywhere at some point in their experience with God has said, “If I could just be like Jesus…” One foundational-truth that brings balance to this thought is when we look at what God said in Genesis 1:26 “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…” [To read this devotion, click on link]

“NO BODY LIKES A LOUD MOUTH!”

 “NO BODY LIKES A LOUD MOUTH!” 1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” Have you ever been irritated because of a loud-mouth in the room? What about the loud-mouth in your mind or thoughts? Christians should know by now the sound of satan’s roar. It goes something like this: “lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.” [To read this devotion, click on link]

“DO YOU SPEAK EVERYTHING YOU THINK?” Psalm 39:3 “My heart was hot within me; While I was musing, the fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue:” During episodes of anger, do you open up your mouth and just let-er-fly? Many times in moments of an emotional outburst, people have been known to speak whatever comes to mind, without engaging the art of both thought and eloquent speech.

“BEING HEAVENLY MINDED!”

“BEING HEAVENLY MINDED!” 2 Corinthians 5:8 says, “We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.” Somebody once made the statement, “Many people are so heavenly minded, that they are no earthly good.” But in reality, we need to be so heavenly minded, that we become so helpful and useful on this earth, and that we see our world change for the better.
