Daily Devotional “What About The Holy Spirit”

Daily Devotional “What About The Holy Spirit”

September 10, 2023

“The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him.

And we know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He has given us” (1 John 3:24).

Because the Holy Spirit affects every area of the Christian life, it is vital that we have a balanced and correct view of His role.

The church’s understanding of the Spirit’s Person and ministry has been seriously distorted over the past few decades.

Charismatics have given an undue emphasis to certain pentecostal gifts so that subjective experience is often elevated over objective scriptural truth.

At the same time, many non-charismatics have overreacted to charismatic excesses by almost ignoring the Holy Spirit.

For most, an in-depth study of the Spirit does not fit with the pragmatic, psychological approach to solving spiritual problems.

But we can’t afford to go to either extreme; otherwise we’ll miss out on what it really means to know the Spirit and to minister by His power.

He is indispensable in saving us, enabling us to obey Jesus Christ, and ultimately perfecting us in glory.

Paul urged the Galatian believers not to abandon the Holy Spirit but to lean completely on Him.

“Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?” (Galatians. 3:3).

Too many Christians are wasting time looking to seminars, gimmicks, counselors, and novel interpretations of old truths to uncover “the secret” to the abundant Christian life.

But the key to such living is not a mystery or a secret.

The sufficiency of the Holy Spirit’s ministry, as revealed through the pages of God’s fully reliable Word, is all the information and resources we’ll ever need to live fruitful and prosperous spiritual lives.

In today’s verse, the apostle John is speaking of Christ’s indwelling presence in the believer’s life, which the Holy Spirit reveals to us.

Therefore the Spirit is working with the Lord Jesus in encouraging you, guiding you, enlightening you, and empowering you for every good work (see John 14:16-20; John 16:13).

By understanding the Spirit’s role and allowing Him to work in you daily, you’ll begin to see your life becoming more like Christ each day.

Prayer

Pray that God would grant you and everyone in your church a proper and balanced understanding of the Spirit’s role.

Jesus is portrayed as the Good Shepherd in John 10. Read that chapter, and list the major characteristics He has as our Shepherd.

Daily Devotional “Rejecting The World”

Daily Devotional “Rejecting The World”
Be different!
September 7, 2023



 

“Do not love the world, nor the things in the world.

If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15).

The world is opposed to everything God stands for.

Loving the world begins with thinking that God doesn’t know what’s best for you and is trying to cheat you out of something you deserve.

That thought soon blossoms into a willingness to disregard God’s warnings altogether and take whatever Satan has to offer.

Love of the world started in the Garden of Eden and continues to this day.

Genesis 3:6 says, “When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.”

What made them think the fruit was good for food or able to make them wise?

God didn’t tell them that. In fact, He warned them that they would die if they ate the fruit (Genesis. 2:17).

But Eve believed the serpent’s lie and Adam followed suit.

Satan continues to propagate his lies but you needn’t fall prey to them if you love God and remember that the world is opposed to everything He stands for.

It is spiritually dead; void of the Spirit (John 14:17); morally defiled; and dominated by pride, greed, and evil desires.

It produces wrong opinions, selfish aims, sinful pleasures, demoralizing influences, corrupt politics, empty honors, and fickle love.

You can’t love the world and God at the same time because love knows no rivals.

It gives its object first place. If you love God, He will have first place in your life.

If you love the world, the love of the Father isn’t in you (1 John 2:15).

Galatians 1:3-5 explains that Jesus “gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us out of this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forevermore.”

Christ died to deliver us from Satan’s evil system.

What greater motivation could there be to reject the world and live to God’s glory?

Prayer

Ask God for greater wisdom and grace to resist the world’s influences.

Further Reading

According to Ephesians 6:10-18, how can you as a believer protect yourself against Satan’s evil system?

Daily Devotional “The Reality Of Spiritual Warfare”

Daily Devotional “The Reality Of Spiritual Warfare”
Be different!
September 6, 2023

 

 




“Be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Ephesians. 6:10-12).

Victory in battle comes when you identify the enemy, resist his attacks, and then take the initiative against him.

Some nations have known many wars, but Vietnam was an especially frustrating campaign.

Thick jungle terrain made the enemy hard to find and guerrilla warfare made him hard to fight.

Many Vietnamese who peacefully worked the rice paddies by day donned the black garb of the Viet Cong soldier by night and invaded unsuspecting U.S. forces camped nearby.

American public opinion was strongly anti-war and morale among our troops was often low.

Spiritual warfare has similar parallels. Subtly and deceitfully, Satan disguises himself as an angel of light and “prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Peter. 5:8).

His emissaries disguise themselves as apostles of Christ and servants of righteousness (2 Corinthians. 11:13-15).

It takes wisdom and discernment to identify them and defend yourself against their attacks.

Most people are defenseless, however, because they scoff at the supernatural and deny the reality of spiritual warfare.

They think Satan may be fine for movie plots and book sales, but assume only the superstitious and credulous take him seriously.

Unfortunately, many Christians have succumbed to their ridicule and forsaken the battle.

Ephesians 6:10-24 reminds us that spiritual warfare is real and that God has given us all the resources we need— not only to defend ourselves, but also to take the initiative and win the victory over the forces of darkness.

I pray that our studies this month will encourage you in the battle and challenge you to always have on “the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil” (Ephesians. 6:11).

 

 




Prayer

Seek discernment and grace to identify the enemy and stand against him courageously.

Daily Devotional “Your Resources In Christ”

Daily Devotional “Your Resources In Christ”
Be different!
September 4, 2023

 

 

“Be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might.

Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil” (Ephesians. 6:10-11).

In Christ you have every resource necessary for spiritual victory.

Satan opposes God and wants to prevent believers from glorifying Him.

One way he does that is by convincing them that he is either so formidable they could never defeat him, or so weak they can fight him on their own strength.

 

 

Second Corinthians 10:4 says, “The weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.”

Human resources alone can never defeat a spiritual enemy, but divine resources can.

That’s why it’s crucial to understand the resources you have in Christ that insure spiritual victory.

In Ephesians 1:3 Paul says you have received all the blessings of heaven through Christ.

That includes being forgiven and redeemed (vv. 6-7), and receiving knowledge, understanding, and wisdom (vv. 17-18).

Within you resides the Holy Spirit (v. 13), who strengthens you and accomplishes more than you can ask or think (3:16, 20).

 

 

Believers represent the awesome power of God in this world—the same power that raised Christ from the dead, seated Him at the right hand of the Father, and subjected all things under His feet (Ephesians. 1:19-22).

He is the Sovereign Lord against whom no one can successfully stand.

That’s why Paul exhorted us to “be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might” (Ephesians. 6:10).

We find this strength by putting on the armor He has supplied: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, the Word, and prayer.

Then, no matter what direction the enemy approaches from, or how subtle his attacks may be, we’ll be able to stand firm.

Satan’s attacks are complex and subtle. His ways of working in this world are cunning and deceitful.

Since it’s impossible to analyze and anticipate his every offense, focus on strengthening your defenses by understanding your spiritual resources and using them each day.

 

 

Prayer

•Ask God to increase your understanding of spiritual warfare.
•Seek wisdom in applying your resources in the most effective ways.
•When you face spiritual battles, confide in a Christian friend who will pray with you and encourage you.

Further Reading

According to Matthew 4:1-11, how did Jesus deal with Satan’s attacks?

Daily Devotional “The Sin of Worry”

Daily Devotional “The Sin of Worry”
Be different!
September 3, 2023

 

“‘Do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on’” (Matthew 6:25).

To worry about the future is to sin against God.

Someone has said, “You can’t change the past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.”

Worry does ruin the present, but even more important for the believer is to recognize that worry is sin. Let’s look at why that is so.

 

 

Worry means you are striking out at God. Someone might say, “Worry is a small, trivial sin.”

But that’s not true. More important than what worry does to you is what it does to God.

When you worry, you are saying in effect, “God, I just don’t think I can trust You.” Worry strikes a blow at God’s integrity and love for you.

Worry means you are disbelieving Scripture. You can say, “I believe in the inerrancy of Scripture.

I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of every word,” and then just live your life worrying.

You are saying you believe the Bible, but then worry about God fulfilling what He says in it.

Worry means you are being mastered by circumstances.

Let the truths of God’s Word, not your circumstances, control your thinking.

By worrying, you make the circumstances and trials of life a bigger issue than your salvation.

If you believe God can save you from eternal Hell, also believe He can help you in this world as He has promised.

 

 

Worry means you are distrusting God. If you worry, you’re not trusting your Heavenly Father.

And if you’re not trusting Him, perhaps it’s because you don’t know Him well enough.

Study God’s Word to find out who He really is and how He has been faithful to supply the needs of His people in the past.

Doing so will help give you confidence for the future.

Allow His Word to indwell you richly so that you aren’t making yourself vulnerable to Satan’s temptations to worry.

 

Prayer

Review the four points given above, and confess any sin to God.

Further Reading

Read Psalm 55:22; 1 Peter 5:7. What antidote to worry do both verses give?

Daily Devotional “Letting The Fog Lift”

Daily Devotional “Letting The Fog Lift”
Be different!
September 2, 2023

 

“‘Do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on’” (Matthew 6:25).

God’s Word commands us not to worry.

A story I once read reminded me that worry is like fog.

According to the article, dense fog covering seven city blocks a hundred feet deep is composed of less than one glass of water—divided into sixty billion droplets.

In the right form, a few gallons of water can cripple a large city.

Similarly, the object of a person’s worry is usually quite small compared to the way it can cripple his thinking or harm his life.

Someone has said, “Worry is a thin stream of fear that trickles through the mind, which, if encouraged, will cut a channel so wide that all other thoughts will be drained out.”

All of us have to admit that worry is a part of life.

The Bible commands us, however, not to worry. To break that command is sin.

 

 

 

Worry is the equivalent of saying, “God, I know You mean well by what You say, but I’m just not sure You can pull it off.”

Worry is the sin of distrusting the promises and providence of God; yet we do it all the time.

We don’t worry about anything as much as we worry about the basics of life.

In that regard we are similar to the people whom Jesus addressed in Matthew 6:25-34.

They were worried about having sufficient food and clothing. I suppose if they were to try and legitimize their worry, they would say, “After all, we’re not worrying about extravagant things.

We’re just worrying about our next meal, a glass of water, and something to wear.”

But there is no reason for a believer to worry about the basics of life since Jesus says He will provide for him.

You are neither to hoard material possessions as a hedge against the future (vv. 19-24) nor be anxious about your basic needs (vv. 25-34).

Instead of letting the fog of worry roll in, it’s time to let it lift.

 

 

 

Prayer

“Rejoice in the Lord always. . . . Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians. 4:4, 6).

Daily Devotional “Materialistic Christians”

Daily Devotional “Materialistic Christians”
Be different!
September 1, 2023

 

“‘Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth’” (Matthew 6:19).

You cannot pursue both God and riches.

Ours is a society consumed with material things.

Status, success, and importance are all too often measured by a person’s financial worth.

Those with wealth flaunt it; those without wealth fake it.

People often rack up huge debts in their desperate and futile pursuit of happiness through accumulating material things.

Sadly, that same materialistic mind-set permeates the church.

 

 

Instead of offering an alternative, that of being distinct from the world, the church joins the world in its pursuit of riches.

Most tragically of all, the saving message of the gospel of Jesus Christ is lost in the process.

It is not wrong to have possessions. Job, Abraham, and Solomon were among the wealthiest men of their day.

But it is wrong to covet, to make the pursuit of material things the main goal of your life, to serve mammon instead of God.

“Do not love the world,” wrote the apostle John, “nor the things in the world.

If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15).

 

 

James addressed these scathing words to those whose focus is on material things: “You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God?

Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God” (James 4:4).

Behind much of the pursuit of riches in the church is a lack of trust in God’s provision.

Instead of finding security in His promise to supply all our needs (Philippians. 4:19), we seek it in a house, a bank account, or a stock portfolio.

God did not give us our money and possessions so we wouldn’t have to trust Him.

He gave them to us to enjoy (1 Timothy. 6:17) and to test the legitimacy of our spirituality (Luke 16:11).

Whether you are rich or poor, your attitude toward your possessions and how you handle them is a test of your spirituality. How are you doing?

 

 

Prayer

Pray with us, “Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is my portion, lest I be full and deny Thee and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or lest I be in want and steal, and profane the name of my God” (Proverbs. 30:8-9).

Daily Devotional “A Little Piece of Bread”

Daily Devotional “A Little Piece of Bread”
Be different!
August 31, 2023

 

“Let your character be free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for [the Lord] Himself has said, ‘I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you’” (Hebrews 13:5).

God promises to provide for all your needs.

In World War II the death of many adults left many orphans.

At the close of the war, the Allies provided some camps to feed the orphans and to try and find a place to relocate them.

The children began to develop and grow, receiving the finest food and care.

But in one of the camps, the officials became perplexed because the children couldn’t sleep.

 

 

They would eat three good meals, but at night they would lie awake.

The camp authorities brought in some doctors to do a study of these orphans to find out why they couldn’t sleep.

The doctors came up with a solution. Every night when the little children were put to bed, someone would come down the row of beds and place in each little hand a piece of bread.

So the last thing the children experienced at night was grasping a piece of bread.

In a matter of days they were all sleeping through the night.

Why? Even though they were fed to the full during the day, experience had taught them that there was no hope for tomorrow.

When they had that bread tucked in their hands, they knew that at least they would have breakfast the next day.

 

 

Similarly, God has given you a piece of bread for your hand.

That bread is this promise: “My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians. 4:19).

If you have that piece of bread in your hand, you can sleep.

You don’t need to stockpile for the future. God is the owner of everything in the world, and He controls all the assets to provide for you because you are His child.

Life for the Christian consists not in the abundance of things he possesses (Luke 12:15), but in being content with the things that he has (Hebrews. 13:5).

 

 

Prayer

Thank God for His promise to provide for all your needs.

Daily Devotional “The Lord Who Provides”

Daily Devotional “The Lord Who Provides”
Be different!
August 30, 2023

 

“Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him a ram caught in the thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the place of his son.

And Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide, as it is said to this day, ‘In the mount of the Lord it will be provided’” (Genesis 22:13-14).

When God provides for a believer, He’s being true to His name.

The Old Testament gives God many names, but one of the most lovely is Jehovah-Jireh, translated in verse 14 of today’s passage as “The Lord Will Provide.”

 

 

It is so much a characteristic of God that it’s His name.

We would never question that God is love and great and mighty and holy and just and good.

But some question whether God provides.

They doubt and are afraid that God isn’t going to meet their needs.

That is exactly what the Lord speaks to in Matthew 6:25-34 when He says, in summary, “Don’t worry about what to eat, drink, or wear.”

The Lord is still Jehovah-Jireh. That is His name, and it is synonymous with one of His attributes.

God is a God who provides, and that is why David said, “I have been young, and now I am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, or his descendants begging bread” (Psalm. 37:25).

 

 

The world digs and scratches and claws to make sure it has enough.

Unlike the world, your Father knows your needs, and He will always give you what you need.

You don’t have to own everything, and you don’t have to control everything to meet your needs.

You can receive what God gives you to invest in His eternal kingdom and put away all anxiety about your needs.

Worship God with your life, and rest assured in His promise to provide for you.

 

 

Prayer

First Timothy 6:8 says, “If [you] have food and covering, with these [you] shall be content.” Does contentment characterize your life? If not, confess that to the Lord, and thank Him for the many ways He so faithfully provides for you every day.

Further Reading

Read the following passages, which show God’s faithfulness to provide: Deuteronomy 2:7; 1 Kings 17:1-16; 2 Kings 4:1-7. In what different ways does He give that provision?

Daily Devotional “Covering Sin”

Daily Devotional “Covering Sin”

Be different!

August 29, 2023

 

 

 

“[Love] bears all things” (1 Corinthians. 13:7). Love confronts sin but protects the sinner.

 

In 1 Corinthians 13:7 Paul mentions four qualities of love that are closely related: bearing all things, believing all things, hoping all things, and enduring all things.

 

That might sound like love is indiscriminate and accepting of anything that comes along, but “all things” in that verse is qualified by the context.

 

Love rejects jealousy, bragging, arrogance, and so on (vv. 4-6), but it bears, believes, hopes, and endures all things that are within the parameters of God’s Word.

 

“Love bears all things” speaks of love’s willingness to cover sins and protect sinners from further harm.

 

That’s opposite our tabloid-mentality society in which gossip is big business and people seemingly have an insatiable appetite for exposes and “true confessions.”

 

Love seeks to protect, not expose.

 

It confronts and disciplines sin but never broadcasts failures or wrongs.

 

It feels the pain of those it loves and is willing to take that pain upon itself when necessary—as Christ did when He suffered for our sins.

 

In the Old Testament, the mercy seat was the place where the blood of atonement was sprinkled to cover the sins of the people (Leviticus. 16:14).

 

That covering prefigured the perfect covering of sin that Christ brought through His death on the cross (Romans. 3:25-26).

 

All who trust in Him are forever covered with the mantle of God’s love.

 

You cannot cover sins in the redemptive sense, but you can help protect and restore its victims.

 

Proverbs 10:12 says, “Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions.”

 

First Peter 4:8 says, “Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.”

 

When you hear of someone’s sin, what is your first reaction?

 

Do you think the worst of him or even gloat over his failures?

 

Or do you expect the best and want to protect him from further exposure, ridicule, or harm?

 

Are you willing to confront sin when necessary and even help bear the burden that person might be carrying?

 

How you react indicates the quality of your love.

 

Prayer

 

 

•Thank God for covering your sins with Christ’s blood.

•Commit yourself to loving others in a way that truly bears all things.

 

Further Reading

 

Read Isaiah 53:3-12.

 

 

•How is Christ pictured?

•What did He endure on your behalf?
