Manna for Your Morning

Looking at them, Yeshua said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God!” — Mark 10:27 (TLV) The Scripture says: all things are possible WITH God. Are you with Him today? If you are, know that ALL things are possible. Fix your hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers. (See 1 Timothy 4:10 NASB1995) Great is His faithfulness! Job said: “God might kill me, but I have no other hope.” (See Job 13:15 NLT) There is no other. Like Job, we know that our Redeemer lives! (See Job 19:25) What we can conceive in the human mind is limited, but there are no limits to what our mighty God can do. So keep your hope and faith not in man, or any institution, or government, which is temporary, but in the Everlasting God. He is our only hope and the source of all life. Yahweh is good; His lovingkindness endures forever and His faithfulness endures to all generations. (See Psalms 100:5) ALL things are possible with Him.   ...as...

O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips will praise You. — Psalm 63:1-3 (NASB1995) As the deer pants for the water brooks, may your soul pant for Yahweh. (See Psalm 42:1) This world will wring you out, and leave you empty and weary. Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face evermore! (Psalm 105:4 NKJV) The LORD will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. (Isaiah 58:11 NLT) In Isaiah 55:2 (NASB1995), the LORD says: “Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and delight yourself in abundance.” Those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good th...

Seek and deeply long for the LORD and His strength [His power, His might]; Seek and deeply long for His face and His presence continually. — Psalm 105:4 (AMP) …those who wait for the LORD [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, they will walk and not grow tired. (Isaiah 40:30-31 AMP) The LORD gives his people strength. The LORD blesses them with peace. (Psalm 29:11 NLT) While the world seeks to seduce us, may we always long for the Presence of YAHWEH, more than anything or anyone else. ‘May the LORD bless you and protect you. May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you. May the LORD show you his favor and give you his peace.’ — Numbers 6:24-26 (NLT)

Companions as we are in this work with you, we beg you, please don’t squander one bit of this marvelous life God has given us. God reminds us, I heard your call in the nick of time; the day you needed me, I was there to help. — 2 Corinthians 6:1-2 (MSG) Well, now is the right time to listen, the day to be helped. Don’t put it off; don’t frustrate God’s work by showing up late, throwing a question mark over everything we’re doing. Our work as God’s servants gets validated—or not—in the details. People are watching us as we stay at our post, alertly, unswervingly . . . in hard times, tough times, bad times; when we’re beaten up, jailed, and mobbed; working hard, working late, working without eating; with pure heart, clear head, steady hand; in gentleness, holiness, and honest love; when we’re telling the truth, and when God’s showing his power; when we’re doing our best setting things right; when we’re praised, and when we’re blamed; slandered, and honored; true to our word, though ...

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. — 1 Peter 5:8 (NIV) How do we escape the hidden traps of the enemy? By being aware and alert to his wicked schemes. We must also know God’s Word and rely on His great wisdom and mighty power in every area of our lives. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11 NKJV). This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels (Ephesians 6:12 MSG).

I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead… — Ephesians 1:19-20 (NLT) Just as we diligently charge our mobile devices, let us persistently stay plugged into the Presence of Almighty God and His wonder-working power. We don't have to worry about power outages or exceeding the usage with our great God. Let us keep our batteries fully charged with His power that enables us to live the extraordinary life He has called us to live. As we stay closely connected to Him, we rise above the circumstances of this life. A close relationship with Him allows His power to work in us and through us. When our heartstrings intertwine with His, the power and strength of His love is dispersed within us. Then we can be conduits of His powerful love, positively energizing the lives of those around us.

For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power. — 1 Corinthians 4:20 (NLT) I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 1:19-20 NLT). God has given us a spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). May we stop trying to do things in our limited human strength and draw from God's supernatural power that resides in us. May we be brave, bold and courageous as we continue to fight the good fight of faith, empowered by His Spirit!

No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, — Philippians 3:13 (NLT) Don;t live stuck in the ashes of yesterday. What is ahead of us is so much more important and more glorious that what happened to us in the past. Living in the past will make us pitiful as we get a vision for our future, God’s power is unleashed in our lives. His compassions are new every morning, for the new thing He wants to do in our lives today. See, the former thing have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” (Isaiah 42:9 NIV)

The LORD asked Moses, “Is there a limit to the LORD’s power? Now you will see whether or not my words come true.”  — Numbers 11:23 (GW) God laid the foundations of the earth and marked off it's dimensions. He provides food for the cattle and feeds the young ravens (Psalm 147:9). Do not doubt God's ability to take care of you. He is well able to handle your situation. By His power, God raised Jesus from the dead (1 Corinthians 6:14). Nothing is too hard for Him. He is amazing God!

We have endured many things: suffering, distress, anxiety, beatings, imprisonments, riots, hard work, sleepless nights, and lack of food. People can see our purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit’s presence in our lives, our sincere love, truthfulness, and the presence of God’s power. — 2 Corinthians 6:4-7 (GW) Yes, like the Apostle Paul, we will have to endure some difficulties in this life. However, may we live our lives in such a way that people can see the Holy Spirit's presence in us and the presence of God's power at work. Let us walk in truth, with pure and humble hearts, continually growing in our knowledge of Christ. And may our love and kind acts be sincere and genuine.

I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory. Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! Psalm 63:2-3 (NLT) Gaze upon the power and glory of the LORD. We can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature through everything God has made (Romans 1:20). Because His lovingkindness is better than life itself, let His praise continually pour forth from your lips.

But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress. Psalm 59:16 (NLT) Sing about God's incomparably great power, that is at work in you. By His power, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Sing with joy about God's unfailing love. His love surrounds us like a strong mountain and it will not be shaken. The LORD, our God is a place of safety when we are in distress. Praise the LORD!

The Lord asked Moses, “Is there a limit to the Lord’s power? Now you will see whether or not my words come true.” Numbers 11:23 (God's Word) Our God rules in power and glory. God formed the mountains by His power and armed Himself with strength (Psalm 65:6). He split open the sea by His power (Psalm 74:13). And by His power, God raised Jesus from the dead, (1 Corinthians 6:14). There is no limit to the LORD's mighty power. Have no doubt or fear. The LORD is able to bring you through your circumstances. We overcome with the LORD on our side. Nothing is too difficult for Him.

I begged the Lord three times to take this problem away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is made perfect in you." So I am very happy to brag about my weaknesses. Then Christ's power can live in me. 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 (NCV) Don't be afraid to admit your limitations. When we are weak, the power of Christ can work through us. Its a perfect combination: His power and our weakness. In addition, the Lord extends His grace which is enough for us to endure and persevere.

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21 (NLT) Surrender to the power of God's Holy Spirit who is at work within you. It is only by His Spirit that the battles of life are won. As we submit our wills, our minds, and our hearts to God, He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or imagine, by His mighty power gently working in us. Glory to God forever and ever!

‘Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You. Jeremiah 32:17 (NKJ) All things are possible with God, the maker of heaven and earth. He turns, "I can't," into "I can and I will." While circumstances and appearances shout, "no way!" He makes a way. Doctors diagnose the disease, and He rises with healing in His wings. The devil may try to hold you in darkness and bondage, but the light and power of God breaks you free. There may depression and weeping, but in His Presence there is fullness of joy and singing. Nothing is too hard for our great and awesome God!

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves. We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 (NLT) Troubles may be pressing in on us, but we are not crushed. Even when we don't understand, we keep our hope alive and stand firm in our faith. We may get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. God's great power inside of us helps us overcome any hardship. Praise the Lord! Love, Jackie

God will strengthen you with his own great power so that you will not give up when troubles come, but you will be patient. And you will joyfully give thanks to the Father who has made you able to have a share in all that he has prepared for his people in the kingdom of light. Colossians 1:11-12 (NCV) Almighty God strengthens us with His own great power to help us patiently endure the troubles that come our way. This is the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Surely, His divine power working in us will enable us to do all that we are called to. Be confident that victory is yours with God's all-surpassing power at work in you. Love, Jackie

I want to report to you, friends, that my imprisonment here has had the opposite of its intended effect. Instead of being squelched, the Message has actually prospered. All the soldiers here, and everyone else, too, found out that I'm in jail because of this Messiah. Philippians 1:12-13 (The Message) Our God turns things around. The Apostle Paul was put in prison to stop him from preaching about Jesus Christ. Instead, God used his imprisonment to further the gospel. Joseph's brothers meant to harm Joseph when they sold him to the Ishmaelites, but God used that to save the lives of His people. Whatever your situation today, God is able to turn it around. He turns darkness into light, sickness into health, and sadness into joy. In the presence of our great God anxiety becomes peace and fear is changed to courage. God makes the poor rich and gives hope to those who have no hope. Praise God forever and ever. Love, Jackie
