“WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT CREATION, BUT NEVER ASK!”

“WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT CREATION, BUT NEVER ASK!” Genesis 1:1-2 “¹In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ²The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” There are many debates within the Christian and scientific world about creation, dinosaurs and how it all came into being. Some say that dinosaurs roamed the earth and then there was an ice age. There really are biblical, scientific and common sense answers to it all.

“THE CHURCH OF HIS CHOICE!”

“THE CHURCH OF HIS CHOICE!” 1 Corinthians 12:28 “And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.” There is a major problem in the Church world today, stemming from a lie of the enemy which is affecting the mindset of the present and future church attendees. We have multiple opinions about how church attendance is simply a waste of time. [To read this devotion, click on link]

“THE MIRACLE OF NEW WINE!”

“THE MIRACLE OF NEW WINE!” John 2:10 “Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.” John 2:1-11 is an example of how the Bible is filled with historical facts, prophetic truths, symbolisms, numbered-meanings & typologies. The two most mentioned words are “water” and “wine.” The “water” speaks of your salvation experience, while “wine” speaks of Holy Ghost baptism. [To read this devotion, click on link]

“CORPORATE WORSHIP!”

“CORPORATE WORSHIP!” 2 Chronicles 5:13-14 “13 when the trumpeters & singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising & thanking the LORD … the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.” The church is identified both as the individual & the corporate body of Christ. Although God’s presence dwells within us, there are times as we worship when the Holy Spirit manifests Himself in a greater dimension than we are use to. God’s house of worship (individually & corporately) should be filled with continuous manifestations of His glory. [To read this devotion, click on link]

“RESIST satan STEADFAST IN FAITH!”

“RESIST satan STEADFAST IN FAITH!” 1 Peter 5:9 “Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.” When it comes to being submitted to Him, it is important to understand that by being submitted to God’s authority, it positions you for His promises to work in your life, as they should. And anything other than submission is rebellion. [To read this devotion, click on link] http://www.billhanshewministries.org/Devotion--316.html

“HOW TO AVOID DISCORD!”

“HOW TO AVOID DISCORD!” Proverbs 6:16 “These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:” The writer of Proverbs chapter 6 speaks of six things the Lord hates and the seventh really causes an upset in the kingdom and among God’s people. And out of all these, the seventh is said to be an abomination to the Lord. Although this sounds very negative, the cold hard fact is that God hates some things that people do. The one He hates more than the other six is “one who sows discord among brethren.” [To read this devotion, click on link] http://www.billhanshewministries.org/Devotion--317.html 

“SO, WHAT ABOUT GRACE?”

“SO, WHAT ABOUT GRACE?” Ephesians 2:8-9 “8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.” I cannot thank Father God enough for giving me something that I did not deserve, and for Jesus, who paid a debt He did not owe, even though I could not pay it. This is exactly why we must have a proper understanding of grace. [To read this devotion, click on link]

“WHY IS LOVE SO IMPORTANT?”

“WHY IS LOVE SO IMPORTANT?” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Anyone who writes from a biblical perspective on the subject of love; will inevitably mention John 3:16. As you know, the greatest example of love ever given is how God so loved the entire world's population; past, present and future, that He sent His only Son, who in turn gave His life as the ultimate sacrifice, worthy and pure enough to pay for the entire sin debt, for the entire world.

“WHAT ABOUT JUDGING?”

“WHAT ABOUT JUDGING?” Matthew 7:1-2 “¹ Judge not, that you be not judged. ² For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” When it comes to judging, there are a lot of misconceptions among Christians as to who to judge, when to judge and what to judge. When someone is being judged by others, most people will quote Matthew 7 saying, “Judge not, that you be not judged.” Yet if we do have the right to judge someone or something, how we judge is extremely important.

“SEATED WITH CHRIST!”

“SEATED WITH CHRIST!” Ephesians 2:6 “and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” It is said that in the workforce, position is everything. I personally believe that in the Kingdom of God, position is also everything. But the truth is that understanding your position in Christ is of the utmost importance. It’s like this: You can have an automobile; but if you don’t know where it is parked and how to operate it, it will be of no benefit to you. In the Kingdom of God, you must know your heavenly position and how to operate in it or from it. [To read this devotion, click on link]

“HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT!”

“HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT!” 2 Corinthians 12:9 “And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” When talking about this episode where the Apostle Paul faced a thorn in the flesh, there seems to be a lot of confusion about why God said, “My grace is sufficient for you,” instead of just rescuing Paul from this very demonic attack.

“FAITH IN THE RESURRECTION!”

“FAITH IN THE RESURRECTION!” John 11:26 “And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” Jesus told Martha and Mary the truth about the resurrection and that Lazarus would be resurrected then and later; when it was time. The death of Jesus was the payment required to “obtain eternal redemption” for us. The resurrection of Jesus provided the opportunity for us to think differently, live differently and walk in a new life—or a new way of living. [To read this devotion, click link]

“ANOINTED TO REIGN AS A KING!”

“ANOINTED TO REIGN AS A KING!” 2 Samuel 5:4 says, “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.” Remember the story of David in the Old Testament? When he was a young boy, he killed the lion, the bear and even the giant. Sometimes he was criticized and told he was too young. And some implied that even though he was out keeping his flock of sheep, his job was not as important as what others did. But David kept doing what he knew in his heart was the right thing for him and what was in line with the calling of God on his life. [To read this devotion, click on link]
