Hebrews 3:15
"While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation."
God Is Speaking..... Are You Listening?
God is speaking to His people and some are tuning out His voice because of worldly pleasures.
Don't be tricked out of hearing Gods voice because you are afraid of what He will say.
Because we are human, it can be easy to ignore God's voice because of stubbornness or unbelief.
God will say things that move you closer to Him and further away from the world.
Be willing every day to shut out the world and turn your full focus to the One who saved your soul.
Often when I pray about situations I tell the Lord that I will do whatever He tells me because
I know it will probably be something I wouldn't normally do or something I don't want to do at first.
You will never look back regret hearing God's voice and doing whatever He tells You.
God's voice lines up with His Word and as His children we must study His Word daily.
Don't use the excuse that you can't hear Him but take time to wait on Him and get to know His voice.
Let's Pray (Always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus, You are the head of my life and I give You all of me.
As I am praying right now I ask You to give me ears to hear what Your Spirit is saying.
I take time right now to deny myself and to wait on You.
Please forgive me for anything that I allowed to come in between us.
I cast down imaginations and every thought that did not come from God right now.
In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

2 Timothy 3:12-14
"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of,
knowing of whom thou hast learned them;"
Finish the Race!
Remember that it isn't always going to be easy, but God will always be there to help!
If you are truly living for Jesus, it is promised that you will have to go through
seasons of suffering for what you believe in.
Don't give up and understand that you are equipped to finish the race and that you're not alone.
Continue doing what you have learned through God's Word and make up your mind to endure until the end.
Your feelings will change a lot, but that should never be an excuse for giving up.
If you acknowledge the Lord, He will continue to direct you even when you don't feel Him!
Know that it is a high honor to suffer for the Kingdom of God!
Let hardships make you stronger. You are not a quitter!
Let's Pray (Always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus, I am determined to make it!
I receive Your strength, Your wisdom and Your power to make it.
I resist the temptations of the enemy of my soul and boldly declare I AM A CHILD OF GOD!

James 4:4
"Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."
You Are Not of This World!
The Word of God is so serious and we must pay close attention to it when it warns us.
Many people today try to have one foot in the world and another in the Kingdom of God.
This simply doesn't work. You are part of God's Kingdom, or you're not.
Right now God has drawn a line in your life and you have to choose where you stand.
You may have struggles, but your mind must be made up to love God with all of your heart.
It's like a marriage. Do you want your spouse to partially love you or be kind of true to you?
We must love the Lord Jesus with all of our whole mind and all of our strength.
You can identify what you love the most by asking yourself what you think about the most.
If you find that you have been double minded or that you don't love God with all of your heart,
take time to pray today and give your whole self to God the best that you know how.
He is a loving God. He will forgive you and help you know how to do what He is asking.
Don't allow the enemy of your soul to tell you that it is too hard.
Wash your mind every single day with God's Word and pray before you speak or make plans.
Include God into every aspect of your life and you will find that He will give you things
that are better than you would give yourself and that He will even give you the desires of your heart!
Pray the prayer below if you are serious and if you need pray click on the prayer button below.
This is your soul that you are dealing with. Take it seriously.
Let's Pray (Always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus, please create inside of me a clean heart and renew a right spirit inside of me.
Please don't take me away from your presence, but draw me closer to You right here and now.
Please forgive me for when I've been selfish and haven't included You.
I am inviting You into every space of my life and asking You to renew my mind.
Please show me how to love You with all of my heart and all of my mind and strength.
Be the head of my life and help me to keep my soul healthy.
I reject every lie and plan of the enemy right now in Jesus' matchless name.

Matthew 26:41
"Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Stay Awake and Watch!
Always remember you can be tricked if you are not watchful or prayerful and if you feed your flesh too much.
The enemy is constantly searching for ways to get into your life and destroy what God has planted.
Jesus in this verse is saying that we must remain watchful and prayerful to avoid deception.
Once we have been tricked or deceived we become blind to what is true and many finish life spiritually blind.
Acknowledge the Lord in all of your ways because He sees things you can't see.
He will ALWAYS guide you to what is good for you and not always to what you want.
You will never regret watching and praying and committing your ways to the Lord.
Live a life of blessing and the security of God's divine favor and don't step outside of His protection.
Let's Pray (Always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus, I commit all of my ways totally unto You.
You are my Lord and my guide. Please watch over me today.
Please give me ears to hear what Your Spirit is saying so that I won't be tricked.
Make me aware of the schemes of the enemy and teach me how to watch and pray.
I resist the temptations of the devil.

Proverbs 14:34
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Godliness Brings Promotion and Sin Brings Destruction
The Bible lets us know that sin does bring pleasure for a season, but destruction comes soon after.
A true believer is willing to leave worldly pleasures in trade for the peace and joy that comes with Godliness.
Once you have entered into sin it is easy to be tricked into believing that serving God has no value.
When living in sin it is easy to believe that you have plenty of time or that you are never going to die.
You need to decide every day to leave sin alone and to embrace Jesus with all of your being.
Let's Pray (Always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus, I commit all of my ways totally unto You.
I embrace You with all of me the very best I can right here and right now.
Be the Lord every part of my life and steer me away from evil and those who do it.
I resist satan and every temptation he brings to me and I cast down imaginations.

John 8:31-32
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
"If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Don't Stop
Jesus let's us know that not everyone will make it to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Only those who do His Father's will and endure until the end.
It's like starting a race and quitting before the finish line, so we must continue living out His Word.
Studying the Word of God everyday and learning how to literally live it out pleases God.
There is clear cut evidence that follows a true believer and evidence that follows the unbeliever.
A person that is "continuing" in the Word is known by their love and their conversation.
People talk about what they love the most. True disciples talk about their Lord that saved them.
A disciple simply means that you are a follower of Christ. It doesn't mean you know everything.
A disciple is willing to learn and change according to the information that they get learning God's Word.
Always remember who you are and don't get sucked in by the cares of this life.
Keep your mind on things above!
Let's Pray (Always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus, I commit all of my ways totally unto You.
You are the Light of the world and I rejoice that You live in me.
Please help me to continue and endure until the end that You will be pleased with me.
Please clean out any darkness in my mind and help me to stay hungry for righteousness.

John 3:16-21
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world,
and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
Stay In The Light
Jesus paid the price for us to escape hell and to be a part of the Kingdom of God.
Yet He gave us a choice and we have to decide every day to serve Him with all of our being.
We prove every day who we serve by the things we entertain and the conversations that we have.
Note that Jesus says that people who do evil hate the light (and the light is Jesus).
This means that they prefer the darkness and dark things over the light.
A true believer does right even when he feels like doing wrong.
A true believer continuously comes to the light to be corrected and strengthened.
Let the light of God's Word penetrate your spirit and renew you every day.
You will never regret living in the light. You will always regret doing anything pertaining to darkness.
Choose this day and every day who you will serve.
Let's Pray (Always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus, I commit all of my ways totally unto You.
You are the Light of the world and I rejoice that You live in me.
Please help me to continue and endure until the end that You will be pleased with me.
Please clean out any darkness in my mind and help me to stay hungry for righteousness.

John 4:14
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst;
but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Living Water
Jesus is the only source for a kind of water that quenches your thirst and gives you everlasting life!
The world has been deceived into thinking that if they have money and popularity that they will be happy,
only to find out that they have been tricked and trapped into believing a lie and are left desolate and thirsty.
Don't wait to find out the consequences of sin, but drink the Word of God daily and continue seeking Him.
Jesus is absolutely the ONLY person who can say "I will never leave you or forsake you."
Natural water sustains us and cleanses us.
Spiritual water does the same thing to our spirit and leads to living forever!
Sometimes you are literally able to feel the springs of living water in your stomach!
Also, FYI it is possible to be drunk in the spirit! No sin.... No hangovers!
Let's Pray (Always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus, I thank You so much for that living water.
Thank You that whoever hungers and thirsts after righteousness shall be filled.
I drink today of Your source of life and plan on treating this like feeding my natural body daily.
Fill me Lord and teach me Your ways. I submit myself wholly unto You.
Please cleanse me of any lies I have believed and from the ways of my past.
You have made me a new creature and I will remain faithful to You.
Please save my household and draw them to Yourself by Your Holy Spirit.
I break every curse over my life, my family and my acquaintances.

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."
The End
There is nothing to be afraid of when you hear about "the end."
The end of time for those of us who believe is just the beginning of eternity with Jesus!
We are living on the edge of the end because the gospel is being
preached world wide as Jesus said it would be!
Be strong and courageous and determined to stay in the Word of God.
Continue to learn what pleases your God and continue in what you already know is right.
Be glad and rejoice that YOUR NAME is written in the Lamb's Book of Life!
Let's Pray (Always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus, I thank You so much that my name is written there!
Please cleanse me of everything that is not like you and help me to grow in wisdom.
I am determined to make it and if I stumble I WILL get back up and continue with You.
Please order my steps today and go ahead of me to straighten my paths.

Proverbs 21:6
"The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death."
Handle Your Business Honestly
The truth is you are not gaining anything if you have to deceive someone to get what you want.
Remember that Jesus said all liars and fornicators have their place in the pit.
Ask God, who is a perfect provider for everything you need and be willing to wait.
When you ask the Lord for something stop and listen for His answer and instruction on how to get it.
Be willing to take no for an answer and be willing not to understand God's reasoning at the time.
When you look back, you will never regret doing things the right way.
The penalty for dishonesty is just too high to go there.
Let's Pray (Always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus, please help me to conduct all of my business honestly.
I will acknowledge You in all of my ways so that You can direct me.
I resist the urge to be deceptive in any matter.

Mark 8:36-38
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation;
of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
Your Soul is Priceless, Take Care of It!
The only thing that will stand for all of eternity is the Word of God.
So much of the world today is consumed with the cares of this life, mainly popularity and money.
What good is money if you have a sickness that cannot be cured?
What good is popularity if this were to be your last day on earth?
So many even in our churches are ashamed to say the name of Jesus.
Live today as if it were your last.
Let's Pray (Always pray out loud if you can)
Lord Jesus, I thank You for the awesome price You paid for my sin.
I will boldly serve You unashamed.
You are my King, my Savior and my Lord and best of all my friend!
I ask You to order every step in my life today and give me ears to hear Your voice.
Please forgive me for the times I've forgotten who I serve.
In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
