                                                                            Able.   If You Are Not “Able”; “Why Not?”   I can do “All Things” “Through Christ” which strengtheneth me.  (Philippians 4:13)   “Believe, Learn, and Practice” Doing “All Things”; asking the Lord for Help.   Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Phillip and us know that we are “Able” to do “All Things” “Through Christ”.  We “Believe” because we are “Learned” and we “Practice” to be better Ambassadors and Soldiers for Jesus the Christ.   Can you “imagine” yourself doing All Things?  God’s Word “cannot be wrong”, and God “does not lie”; therefore, we are “Able To Do All Things”.  If we do not believe, learn, and practice doing all things, we will never do all things, maybe not even a lot of things, maybe nothing.     Doing “All Things” start between our ears through “Thinking”!   What are you “Thinking On”? Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are

                                                                   Caesar’s or God’s?   Who Do You Belong To?   And Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s”.  (Mark 12:17)   Give to Each, What Belong To Each. The Earth, Everybody, and Everything in it, “Belongs To God”.   Every person “Makes A Determination” about everything and everybody; the determination is “does it belong to God or Caesar”.  Oftentimes, we are not even aware of this made determination.  We will “act like” and treat the thing “according to our determination”.     Paul said, I am “determined” to know nothing “except Jesus and the fact that He was Crucified”.  Paul’s living let everybody know that his determination was he belonged to God.  If we “determine” that we are Ambassadors and Soldiers for Jesus, we will “Live Like” Ambassadors and Soldiers for Jesus.  If we never make that determination in our “heart/mind” we will never live like it.  We will live

                                                                       All Things.   All Things Work Together.   And we know that “all things” work “together for good” to them that “Love God”, to them that are “called” according to his purpose.  (Romans 8:28)   To Love God is to Obey The Bible. All things work together for the Bad of those “Who Do Not Love God”!   God is Spirit. The Spirit World controls “All Things”; good and bad, physical and spiritual.  Let this fact, move you to “Exercise Your Faith”.  Let this fact motivate you to “Live by Faith and Not by Sight”.  God has put “All Things” under the Power of Jesus.  Jesus had to go away; He sent the Holy Spirit to “Help Us” to Live like we should in this “dark world”; this “foreign land”.   Our Daily Nugget gives us the assurance that no matter what situation we are facing, that situation is included in “all things”; therefore “It Will Work Together For Our Good”.   The scripture tells us to “Count ‘It’ All Joy”, because we know t

                                                                         Trust “Truth”!   God’s Word is the Only Truth.   Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me.  (John 14:1) I am The Way, “The Truth”, and the Life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.   (John 14:6)                              Trusting Truth is “Resisting The Devil”, now, He’ll Flee. Every person that is born, is born in sin, “Separated from the Father”; now every person must get to the Father.  The work of the Holy Spirit is to get everyone to the Father; the work of the demonic spirit is to keep us from being reunited with the Father.  “This Is The War”!  The War is a spiritual war, “We Cannot See Our Enemy”.                             “Therefore, We Must Trust Truth To Protect Us and to Show Us The Way”. Based on our Thinking, “We will Trust Truth or Deception”. Truth – God’s Word, The Bible, Is “Truth”!   Belief is the highway to Trusting Truth.  Unbelief is the highway to Trusting D

                                                                            Intrigue!   Why Do We “Love” Intrigue?   At the end of their rule, when the transgressions have reached their “full measure”, a king of bold countenance shall arise, skilled in “intrigue”.  (Daniel 8:23) He will invade the kingdom when its people feel secure, and he will seize it through intrigue.  (Daniel 11:21)   Intrigue is Guided by the “Spirit of Deception”!   Intrigue – Arouse the curiosity or interest of; fascinate.                  Make secret plans to do something illicit or detrimental to someone.   Our fallen nature has a natural desire for “intrigue”.  Kingdom Citizens do not depend on the demon of intrigue to get what we want, we Trust God for Wisdom to get it.  When we are “intrigued” we are giving “too much attention” to the demonic spirits speaking to us.  We should immediately go to “The Word” for protection.   Eve became “intrigued” with the forbidden fruit.  We cannot be wicked, evil, and sin

                                                               He Asked The Father.   The Father, Gave The Holy Spirit.   I will ask the Father, and He will give you “Another Helper”, so that He may be with you forever; “The Helper Is The Spirit of Truth”, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not “See Him or Know Him”; but you “Know Him” because “He remains with you and will be In You”.  “I will not leave you as  orphans; I Am Coming To You”.  (John 14:16-18)   Is The Holy Spirit “Spooky”, and “A Stranger”, To You?   Our Daily Nugget is Jesus letting the disciples know that He is Going Away.  Jesus was the only savior and deliverer the disciples knew, and now He is telling them that He is Going Away.  This was a very disheartening statement to them; they felt alone and hopeless.    Orphan – A child whose parents are dead.  (Our Father is Alive). God wants to assure us that we are never alone nor hopeless.  “The sun shines the brightest, after the darkest storm”.  When life “s

                                                                   The Real Problem.   My People Have “Forgotten Me”!   Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel.  (Jeremiah 18:6) Yet, my people have “forgotten me”; they make offerings to false gods.  (Jeremiah 18:15)   To “Forget God” is to “Invite Destruction”.   How Can a New Creature, a Kingdom Citizen, Forget God?  “Kingdom Citizens” can “Forget God” just like God’s People whom Jeremiah was speaking directly to in our Daily Nugget.  They Choose “The World over the Word” and became “Evil in their Actions”.   Do yourself a favor; learn what wicked and evil are, study them.   The Real Problem - They Refused To Repent From Their Evil. To Forget or to Remember God starts “Between Our Ears”, through “Thinking”, and end “With Our Actions”.  When we forget the “God of Heaven and Earth”, we automatically default to remembering the “god of this world”.  The evidence that we have forgotten or remember God’s Word is s

                                                               God Doesn’t Studder!   We can “Act Like” we didn’t “Get It”.   God means what He says.  What He says goes.  His “Powerful Word” is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to “listen and obey”.  (Hebrews 4:12-13)   God Means What He Says & He Says What He Means.   A man had a vision; in this vision God asked him a question.  The question was a very heavy question to the man, and instead of the man answering God, he restated the question to God.  God said, “I Don’t Studder”.  The man said, you’re right God, you don’t studder; you know I am fishing for an answer.  God knows everything about us; when we are Thinking Right and when we are Thinking Wrong; He requires “Sincerity and Truth”.   God’s Word Cut’s Through Man’s Foolishness. When Adam sinned by eating the forbidden fruit, Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent.  They both “Plainly Knew God’s Word” and they

                                                                    Above All Else!   Get Wisdom.   Above all else, guard your heart (mind), for “everything you do flows from it”.  (Proverbs 4:23)   GIGO – Garbage In Garbage Out. God’s Word Going In, Brings Holy Living Out.   Our Daily Nugget is telling us that “Everything We Do” is the “Fruit” of what we “Hear and See”; therefore, we should “guard”, “protect” our heart/mind.  How does one obey our Daily Nugget?  Read The Word Daily.  What is the source of the things we hear and see?     How Does One “Guard Their Heart, Mind”? We Guard Our Heart, Mind, by being “Wise” in choosing what we allow ourselves to hear and to see; this determines “What We Think”.  What we “Think” determines what we do.  Our actions have no choice but to follow our Thinking; this is the way God made us.   Verses one through twenty-two is a laundry list of instructions on how to allow “Wisdom” to guide our living. In our Daily Nugget Solomon is telling us that “

                                                             The Son & Sun Rise.   The Son and the Sun Are Always “Faithful”!   Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge Him.  As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; “He Will Come” to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.  (Hosea 6:3) Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing: The LORD’s unfailing love and mercy still continue, “Fresh as the Morning, As Sure as the Sunrise”.   (Lamentations 3:21-24)   Never Hurry, Never Worry; Always “Trust” the “Son” to Rise.   We Kingdom Citizens have been blessed beyond measure by God through Him sending Jesus to bring “Salvation”.  Salvation is “Saving Power” from “Every Possible Dilemma” that Satan shoot at us.    God has given us “A Measure of Faith” that is sufficient, when exercised, to save us from what we are facing.  By us Exercising our Faith “we will” be able to “quench every attempt” of Satan’s to make people be wicked and evi

                                                                           Stand Up!   Why Can’t We Stand?   The Lord said to Joshua, “Stand Up”!  What are you doing down on your face?  Israel has sinned; “they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep”.  They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions.  “That” is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies; they turn their backs and run because they have been made “liable for destruction”.  I will not be “with you” anymore “unless” “you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction”. (Joshua 7:10-12)   Sin Makes Us “Coward Down” To Our Enemies. Sin Makes Us and Our Households “Liable For Destruction”.   One of the greatest blessings we can have, is to be surrounded by people who walk, live, in obedience to God’s Word, the Bible.  One of the greatest curses we can have is to be surrounded by people who steal, lie, walk, live, in

                                                               The Purpose of Time.   The Future –The Present – The Past.   And sware by Him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, and “There Shall Be Time No Longer”.  (Revelation 10:6) Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of “The Time”, because the days are evil.  (Ephesians 5:15-16)   Time is not an “Eternal Concept”. The “Concept of Time” was created by God for Humanity.    God created Time and sent all people through Time in “An Effort to Redeem People Back To Himself”.  God’s Love for people would not allow Him to have them enter into eternity in their “Fallen State”.   Time has not always existed, and Time shall be no more.  God is Spirit, Spirit moves at the Speed of Light; at the Speed of Light, there is no Time.  There is no Time to Waste.  We must

                                                                           Respect.   Respect Is “Given” not “Earned”!   Show “proper respect to everyone”, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.  (1 Peter 2:17)   To “Respect” People is a Command.   In our Daily Nugget, Peter is telling the people “How To Live Godly Lives in a Pagen Society”.  In a Pagen society Respect must be earned; in a Godly Society people give one another Respect, it’s also called Love.  God “gives” people value and “respect” that “they can’t earn”.  God’s Children should “give people value and respect because we cannot earn it” and God Commands it.   Respect – An “attitude” of reverence and deference that acknowledges the                 significance of a person or a thing.   Who, which person, is the “Authority” on when our actions say, now respect is sufficient to qualify as “earned”.  To respect a person is to “Love Your Neighbor As You Love Yourself”.  The Word says, “Show Proper Respect t

                                                                 Watch Your Mouth.   Our Words “Guides our Living”.   A good man out of the good treasure of his heart (mind) “bringeth forth that which is good”; and an evil man out of the treasure of his heart (mind) “bringeth forth evil”: for of the “Abundance of the Heart (Mind) his Mouth Speaketh”.  (Luke 6:45)   Our Speaking follows our Thinking. To “Watch Our Mouths” is “Great Wisdom”. Never say something that, “You Do Not Want To Happen”!   I looked around at my situation and I said, “I Said That Was Going To Happen”!  Our Words are commands, demands, to the Spirit World to bring forth that which we say.  We are God’s Children, made in His Image; just like God’s Words Create, His Children’s Words Create, for we are made in His Image.   The Words that come out of our mouths start between our ears, through Thinking.  Our Thinking is determined by “What We Have Consumed” through our ears, eyes; things we see and hear.  Solomon said t
