Psalms 119:2 Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts. You do not have to know all that lies ahead of you, and you never will. But if you will set your heart on seeking His presence and His will, doing what you know is right, taking the next step and the next, you will end up in the God-appointed place for your life. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with one step. You can’t do everything at once but you can begin. You and you alo

Deuteronomy. 30:19 “Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! Your life is a journey, and in God it is to be an upward journey that continues to go higher in Him. How do I do that you may ask? Every day you will be given choices. Do you start, do you stop? Should you go, should you stay? To

Today I want to take another look at the very first miracle Jesus did, turning water into wine. Have you ever considered that wine is only wine if it’s aged. But the wine of the miracle had no past to be aged. It had to, in a sense be given a new past. So, if God can give a past where there was no past, then He can remove a past where there was one. When I receive the gift of salvation, it’s not simply that everything is the same and we are forgiven in spite of it, it is

John 3: 1-3 There was a man named Nicodemus, a Jewish religious leader who was a Pharisee. After dark one evening, he came to speak with Jesus. “Rabbi,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you.” Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God.” By our first birth, which was a natural birth, we were born corrupt, shapened in sin, and denied fellowship wit

Today, I would like to pull another nugget out of John 2:6-11... Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where

Today we will continue in John 2:6-11 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though th

Today’s devotion comes from John 2: 1-5: On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now, in that last statement is the key to living a supernatural life, “do wha

During the month of February, we will add a new devotion every day. I will extract some things from the Book of John that I think will encourage and strengthen you during this time of fasting and prayer that we have set aside at New Life. Today we are going to look at John 1:12-13: “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will o
