Everyday Life With John

Sometimes, as Christians, we make things so complicated. I know for sure that I do. So, there are times where it seems like God is quiet. No words of affirmation or comfort for your life? Nothing to comfort your grieving spirit? You just lost your job and there is nothing from God? You feel stalled without a purpose. CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT MY VIDEO ABOUT YOUR PURPOSE! So, how exactly do you hear from God? YOU GO TO THE WORD OF GOD! THE BIBLE!!! Let me direct you to a verse...John 5:38 You do not have His word (Scripture) abiding in you [actually living in your hearts and minds], because you do not believe in Him whom He has sent. So, God's scripture is His Word! God's Word is the way that he talks to us. That is the primary voice that we have! Next, I feel as if God speaks to us through...our situations, circumstances, and through others. Whatever lines up with God's Word IS His Word! So, the next time that you or I feel that we need a word fro...

This is a topic close to my heart. So many of us get it wrong and miss the point of money. At the end of the day... Money is like a screwdriver, hammer, saw... IT IS A TOOL... Let's look at what the Bible says.

Here is ANOTHER verse concerning money... This time from Ecclesiastes 10:19 The officials make a feast for enjoyment [instead of repairing what is broken], and serve wine to make life merry, and money is the answer to everything. Did you catch that last part? MONEY IS THE ...

So, you want to know why you are here? DON'T WE ALL!!!!!!! Most of our problems, setbacks, and failures come from us not walking in our purpose. I know that is my experience. And I'm still trying to figure it out for myself. But I do have a starting point to consider. I know that the popular verse is Jeremiah 29:11... JEREMIAH 29:11 NLT For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Most of us want the hope and the future.. AS WE SHOULD... Any human being living should wanting better for their lives and those of their family. But the verse you (and I) need to be more focused on is.... Matthew 6:33 Here is it... MATTHEW 6: 33 NLT Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So, what am I saying?
