                                                                Desire for Pleasure .   “Desire”, fights, quarrels, and “Pleasure”.   What causes fights and quarrels among you?  Don’t they come from your “desires” that battle within you?  You “desire” but you do not have, so you kill.  You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight.  You do not have because you do not Ask God.  When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.  (James 4:1-3)      The “Real Reason” We do not Have what we Want.  “Wrong Thinking”!   Our Daily Nugget is explaining to us, “why” we do not have what we want and desire, even though we Obey the Command to Ask G...

                                                                  Possess the Land.   Nothing Is “Too Hard” For God!   Ah, Lord God, it is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and your outstretched arm.  “Nothing is too hard for You”.  (Jeremiah 32:17)   Let’s go “at once” to “take the land”, he said.  We can certainly conquer it!  But the other men who had explored the land with him disagreed.  “We Can’t Go Up Against Them”!  (Numbers 13:30-33)   “Remembering” this in Prayer “Help to get Answered Prayer”; Pray Always!    When we Remember God’s Word, “We Can Do All Things”. To possess the land or not to possess the land starts between our ears through “Thinking”. God’s Word says, “Nothing is Too Hard for God”....

                                                                   Worldly Wisdom.   The Hypocrisy of Worldly Wisdom.   Hypocrites!  You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky.  How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time?  (Luke 12:56)   Hypocrisy cannot dwell with Sincerity and Truth! Christian Wisdom “Must Begin” with Sincerity and Truth, or its Hypocrisy!   Our Daily Nugget is Christ giving us a warning about just how dangerous the “errors” of the Pharisees and the Sadducees really are.  Today we do not have religious leaders called Pharisees and Sadducees.  But we have religious leaders called by many other titles who are still controlled by the Demonic Spirit of Hypocrisy, “just like them”. Injecting their...

                                                                     Train Them Up!   How are we “Training Them Up”?   Train up a child “In The Way He Should Go”, and when he is old, he “will not” depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6).  He Should go in the way of The Word, the Bible.   We Parents, Train Them Up In The Way They Go.   Our Daily Nugget is letting us know that we, parents, are “the main characters in determining how our children’s lives will go”.  “We Teach Our Children What We Are”!  What type of person do you want your child to be?  You “must be” that type of person to teach them to be that type of person;  this is what you will teach them, “Good or Bad”.     If we are honest, that is what we will teach them to be, if we a...

                                                          The Spirit of Retribution!       Kingdom Citizens are to “Never Seek Retribution”.   Do not repay anyone evil for evil.  Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.  If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.  Do not take revenge (retribution), my dear friends, “But Leave Room For God’s Wrath”, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge”; “I Will Repay”.  (Romans 12:17-21)   A desire to seek retribution is part of our “fallen state”. A “Renewed Heart/Mind” is “Protection” from a “Spirit of Retribution”.   The Holy Spirit would “never” lead someone to seek retribution.  The demonic spirit would lead everyone to seek retribution.  The demonic spirit is alway...

                                                                    Constitution!   Our Constitution is “What we Believe”.    He who “Believes” and is baptized “Will be Saved”; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.  (Mark 16:16) For the “LORD” is our judge, the “LORD” is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King.  (Isaiah 33:22)    We Will “Live”, “Act”, According to Our Constitution; what we Believe.   Constitution – A set of fundamental rules that determine how a country, state, or                         person is run.  A “steadfast” heart/mind, due to what one “Believes”.            ...

                                                                           Evil Days.   Evil Days are here Today.   Be very careful, then, “how you live” – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because “the days are evil”.  Therefore, do not be foolish, but “understand” what the Lord’s Will is.  (Ephesians 5:15-17)   Love and Wisdom; Protection From Evil Days. Evil days are when people consider receiving more important than giving, when I treat you differently than what I would like you to treat me.  When my anger guides my actions toward you, when I live indifferent to God’s Word.  When I do things, with the intent of causing you hurt, harm, or pain for any reason.   Our Daily Nugget is a message to Christians fro...

                                                            My Soul is “Anchored”.   I have been given “Eternal Life” by God.   A “wise person” thinks about death, but a “fool” thinks “only about having a good time.  (Ecclesiastes 7:4) Stay away from “fools”, there is nothing they can teach you.  Wisdom lets smart people know what they are doing, but “stupid people only think they know”.  Fines are needed to make fools obey the law, but good people are happy to obey it.   (Proverbs 14:7&8). Fools and stupid people are the same. I give them “eternal life”, and they “shall never perish”; “no one will snatch them out of my hand”.  My Father, who has given them to me, “is greater than all”;  “no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand”.  (John 10:27-29) ...

                                                                    The Covering.                                         They Were “Covered In Prayer”.   While they were worshiping the Lord and Fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart ‘for Me’ Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them”.  So, after they had fasted and prayed, “they placed their hands on them and sent them off”.  (Acts 13:2&3)   To be Covered by Fasting and Prayer is protection from demonic spirits!   “Prayer Works”, it works better with “Fasting”. To add Fasting makes it work much better!  God asked Satan, “what have you been doing”?  Satan said, I’ve been going to and fro throughout ...

                                                                            Prove It!   If God Challenges us to Prove It.   Then the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father, “Take Your Inheritance”, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. The King will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.  (Matthew 25:34&40).   What if God said, Prove To Me that you were a Believer, and I’ll Let you In? Our Daily Nugget is a Challenge for us to “Prove It”; those who Loved can enter.   My Proof. Yes, I Have Proof:  Based on “Your Word”, I Can “Prove It”; Here is my Evidence! 1.      When you were hungry, I fed you. 2.  ...

                                                                         Splendor.   Recognize The Lord’s Splendor!   Honor and majesty surround him; strength and beauty fill his sanctuary.  O nations of the world, “Recognize The LORD”; recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong.  “Give to the LORD” the glory He deserves!  Bring your offering and come into His courts.  Worship the LORD in all “His Holy Splendor”.  Let all the earth tremble before Him.  (Psalms 96:6-9)   Magnificent – Great – Powerful – Holy – Glorious.  We Obey our Daily Nugget through “Obedience to The Word, the Bible”.   Honor – To show “high respect” or “great esteem” for someone. Majesty – Used to describe God’s Power, Glory, and Greatness. Splendor – ...

                                                                     Pain to Purpose.   The Fruit of “Enduring Your Cross”!   Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.  Those who go out weeping,  carrying seed to sow , will return with songs of joy carrying sheaves.  (Psalms 126:5-6)   Then Pilate had Jesus taken and whipped.  The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head and dressed him in a purple robe.  Over and over, they went up to him and said, “Greetings, King of the Jews”!  And they slapped him in the face. (John 19:1-3)   Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the Joy that was set before Him “Endured The Cross”, despising the shame, and “Is Set Down At The ‘Right Hand’ of th...
