Today's Promise from the Bible

Luke 8:21

And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

Reflection

Christ had earthly family members, yet here He defines those who are His true family: it is we who hear the word of God and put it into practice. Paul affirms this idea in Romans 8:17 by saying we are joint-heirs with Christ. So believe and go forth living righteously, knowing that you are of the family of God.

The Christmas TEN COMMANDMENTS

The Christmas
Ten Commandments

1. Thou shalt give thy heart to Christ. Let Him be at the top of thy Christmas list

2. Thou shalt prepare thy soul for Christmas. Spend not so much on gifts that thy soul is forgotten.

3. Thou shalt not let Santa Claus replace Christ, thus robbing the day of its spiritual reality.

4. Thou shalt not burden the shop girl, the mailman, and the merchant with complaints and demands.

5. Thou shalt give thyself with thy gift. This will increase its value a hundred fold, and he who receiveth it shall treasure it forever.

6. Thou shalt not value gifts received by their cost. Even the least expensive may signify love, and that is more priceless than silver and gold.

7. Thou shalt not neglect the needy. Share thy blessings with many who will go hungry and cold unless thou are generous.

8. Thou shalt not neglect thy church. Its services highlight the true meaning of the season.

9. Thou shalt be as a little child. Not until thou hast become in spirit as a little one art thou ready to enter into the kingdom of Heaven.

10. Thou shall not forget to share your joy, peace and faith with those around you.

JOYCE MEYER MINISTRIES

Do you like yourself? After years of trying to help people emotionally, mentally, spiritually and socially, it was a major breakthrough when I discovered that most people really don�t like themselves. Some of them know it, while others don�t even have a clue that this is probably the root of so many other problems in their lives.

God wants us to have great relationships, but self-rejection and even self-hatred are the roots of many relationship problems. In fact, I�ve found the Bible to be a book about relationships, providing valuable advice about my relationship with God, other people and even myself.

How are the relationships with other people in your life? What about your relationship with God�and even with yourself?

Did it ever occur to you that you have a relationship with yourself? While I�ve never given it much thought, I spend more time with myself than with anyone, and it�s vital to get along well with me. Remember, you are the one person you never get away from.

We all know how agonizing it is to work day after day with someone we don�t get along with, but at least that person doesn�t come home with us at night. We can�t get away from ourselves, not even for one second, so it�s of the utmost importance that we have peace with ourselves.

Many of us fall prey to self-rejection because we feel that nobody really loves us or accepts us. We figure that if nobody else loves us, then why should we love ourselves? Because we think others don�t love us, we feel that we must not be worth loving. But that�s a LIE we�ve believed for way too long!

We should love ourselves�not in a selfish, self-centered way that produces a lifestyle of self-indulgence, but in a balanced, godly way that affirms God�s creation as essentially good and right. We may be flawed by unfortunate experiences we�ve gone through, but that doesn�t mean we�re worthless and good-for-nothing.

We must have the kind of love for ourselves that says, �I know God loves me, so I can love what God chooses to love. I don�t love everything I do, but I accept myself because God accepts me.� We must develop the kind of mature love that says, �I know I need to change, and I want to change. In fact, I believe God is changing me daily, but during this process, I will not reject what God accepts. I�ll accept myself as I am right now, knowing that I will not always remain this way.�

Many times people who reject themselves do so because they can�t see themselves as good, proper, or right. They fail to see themselves the way God sees them�as precious children He dearly loves.

As you begin to see yourself through God�s eyes�someone who�s loved and cherished�your view of yourself will begin to change. You�ll begin to see yourself not as rejected, but as loved and accepted�unique and beautiful in His sight.

ARE WE TOO BUSY TO LISTEN....... Bob Gass - SATAN Might NOT BE???

The Word For Today with Bob Gass

... that Satan might not outwit us...

2 Corinthians 2:11 NIV

Addressing a worldwide convention of demons, satan told them: 'As long as Christians stay close to God we've no power over them, so: 1) Keep them busy with non-essentials. 2) Tempt them to overspend and go into debt. 3) Make them work long hours to maintain empty lifestyles. 4) Discourage them from spending family time, for when homes disintegrate there's no refuge from work. 5) Overstimulate their minds with television and computers so that they can't hear God speaking to them. 6) Fill their coffee tables and nightstands with newspapers and magazines so they've no time for Bible reading. 7) Flood their letter boxes with sweepstakes, promotions and get-rich-quick schemes; keep them chasing material things. 8) Put glamorous models on TV and on magazine covers to keep them focused on outward appearances; that way they'll be dissatisfied with themselves and their mates. 9) Make sure couples are too exhausted for physical intimacy; that way they'll be tempted to look elsewhere. 10) Emphasise Santa and the Easter Bunny; that way you'll divert them from the real meaning of the holidays. 11) Involve them in 'good' causes so they won't have any time for 'eternal' ones. 12) Make them self-sufficient. Keep them so busy working in their own strength that they'll never know the joy of God's power working through them. Do these twelve things faithfully. I promise-it'll work!' Have you figured out the difference between being busy and being successful in what God's called you to do? Sometimes being B-U-S-Y just means Being Under Satan's Yoke
