The Real You

March 9, 2013

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith . . .
–Ephesians 3:17

Experts have told us that society is sick. Their panaceas have treated human frailty with infusions of low-income housing, welfare payments, integrated education, and psychological conditioning. But we are learning that this is not the total answer. The world does need changing, society needs changing, the nation needs changing, but we never will change it until we ourselves are changed. And we never will change until we look into the mirror of our own soul and face with candor what we are inside. Then freely acknowledge that there is a defect in human nature, a built-in waywardness that comes from man’s natural rebellion against God. I am not preaching now, just trying to give you an understanding of what makes you tick. But I also expect to show you that, in the end, you can find your answers only in a personal relationship with God.

Prayer for the day

It is useless to hide the real me from You. I pour out this day all my innermost thoughts and feelings, Lord Jesus.

Truly what this man of GOD says is the only way The LORD can heal a sick society. We all, as GOD'S creation , must come to the end of ourselves. As believers in JESUS CHRIST, I have come to a place in my daily life I need HIM more than HE needs me

Glory to You Oh Father. Thank You Lord, for only You and You alone know my heart. I desire to have a more personal relationsahip with You, Father. I Love You Lord. Glory, Glory, Glory. Amen, Amen and AMEN!!!

When we try but fail to do the things we know we ought to do, don't remain too discouraged. Quickly ask God to forgive you and strengthen your area of weakness . He is faithful to pick you back up, every time you fall.

Lord, Search my heart, and reveal those things contrary to Your will that keep me from fulfilling Your purpose and plan for my life. Keep me focused on Your path for my life. Amen.

Responding to Sister Malala, My spiritual father Rev. Billy Graham is great example for me! 6 decades serving God....but how humble he is.....! Daily Devotional "Prayer For The Day" he is asking for God's guidance...I'm also the same. Thank you!

Joe says 3.9.2012, 08:34 a.m.

Amen Gerry.

Malala says 3.9.2012, 08:28 a.m.

Thanks that we can preach the Good News of Jesus Christ. Control and lead us Lord by the Holy Spirit who lives in our heart each day so Your Glory and Honor would be manifest in our lives. Sister Annie Would You read "I Cor 2:16" In Christ.

Malala says 3.9.2012, 08:23 a.m.

Dear Heavenly Father, thanks for choosing us and giving us faith, thanks for saving us through Your Son Jesus Christ. Thanks that we have holy communion with You. Thanks for all godly people around us, so we can pray and encourage each other

Sera que Deus pode me usar igual como estÃ¡ usando o pastor Billy Graham? (Please, that God can use me the same as he is using Billy Graham)

Chad says 3.9.2011, 3:44 p.m.

Just read the book of Ephesians, I love God's Word itGives me life for ever and ever in Jesus Christ..Amen

Russell says 3.9.2011, 11:55 a.m.

I thank GOD everyday for all he does to make things a little easier for me. I have found a little secret. That is if I pray for other people ahead of what i want everything seems to turn out for the best. Only then do I begin to realize that my problems weren't as big as I thought they were.

sam says 3.9.2011, 04:49 a.m.

We have to change our earthly persona into a persona having a personal equation with God. We have several eminent examples. Rev. Billy Graham is one.

Gerry says 3.9.2011, 04:43 a.m.

The battle wages on between our fallen nature and our Godly nature . Sometimes it feels like we are losing but never give up because God won't. Ultimate victory is assured in Christ.

CHRISTOPHER says 3.9.2011, 04:39 a.m.

EACH DAY WE WAKE UP, AND FACE EITHER WE SERVE GOD OR SERVE SATAN! THE CHOICE IS EASY1WINNING WITH GOD! YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG. YOU WILL HAVE TO STRAITHEN UP, AND FLY RIGHT. FORGET AND REPENT TO JESUS, AND BELEIVE AND HAVE FAITH, TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF WHAT EVER YOU ASK. JUST LEAVE IT TO HIM!!!
