    Are You Able to Drink the Cup?

    Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him. And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She *said to Him, “Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit one on Your right and one on Your left.” But Jesus answered, “You do...

    For You are My Praise

    “Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; Save me and I will be saved, For You are my praise. Look, they keep saying to me, ‘Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come now!’ But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd after You, Nor have I longed for the woeful day; You Yourself...

    We Cannot Stop Speaking Truth

    Peter and John had been instrumental of God in the healing of a man who was lame from birth. The authorities didn’t like what they did, and they didn’t like that they were teaching the people about Jesus, and so they had them arrested and thrown in prison. And, on the next day, when they were...

    For the Will of God

    “Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. For the time already past is...

    Fear Not Their Intimidation

    “Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone...

    Encourage One Another

    “You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains; but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me— the...

    Struck Down, But Not Destroyed

    “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are constantly being...

    Deliver Me From My Enemies

    “Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise up against me; deliver me from those who work evil, and save me from bloodthirsty men. For behold, they lie in wait for my life; fierce men stir up strife against me. For no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord...

    The Church Under Fire, Hear My Case

    Chapter Four Hear My Case May 27, 2023 I am now reading in Acts 25. The Apostle Paul was being held in custody under the authority of the governor Felix. And during this time, Felix would visit him on occasion and would listen to Paul sharing about his faith. And this went on for two years...

    Remain Steadfast in Your Trials

    “As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.”...

    We are Treated as Impostors

    “We put no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; by purity, knowledge...

    Speaking the True Gospel

    This is a continuation of the lesson from Acts 26:12-20 in the devotion titled, “Turning from Darkness to Light.” Paul was under arrest and was serving time in prison for his testimony for Jesus Christ and for his testimony of his salvation from sin, i.e. for the sake of the gospel message. And...

    A Lamp to My Feet

    If the Word of God is truly a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, then we are walking in the ways of the Lord, and we are no longer walking in the ways of the flesh. Sin is no longer our practice. Righteousness, holiness and obedience to our Lord and to his commands under the New Covenant...

    Letters to the Seven Churches, Smyrna

    The true gospel of our salvation from sin, which promises us eternal life with God, is that, if we want to come after Jesus Christ, we must deny self, die daily to sin, and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to our former lives of living in sin and for self, we will lose them for eternity. Yet...

    The Lord is My Portion

    If the Lord is your portion, he is your inheritance, your source of security, your all sufficiency, your Lord (Owner-Master), your Savior (from bondage to sin), and your all-in-all. He is the love of your life, your husband, your Father, your brother, your friend, and your companion. For the...

    A Woman Called of God

    Originally written April 17, 2024: Earlier today the Lord Jesus had me share a little bit of my testimony in the writing, “God Chose the Despised,” and again he is leading me to share a little bit of my testimony here, for I really identify with what Paul said here, and the Lord is leading me...

    God's Words in Our Mouths

    All of us who have put our faith in Jesus Christ to be Lord (Owner-Master) and Savior of our lives have been called of God to his service. All of us have been given spiritual gifts of the Spirit of God to be used to minister to the people of God and to the people of the world, and we have been...

    Are We Praying for One Another?

    Jesus Christ was about ready to be put to death on a cross in order to put our sins to death with him so that, by God-persuaded faith in him, we might die with him to sin and now live to him and to his righteousness in walks of surrender and obedience to him and to his commands. So he was...
