This Day With God – A Spiritual Journey | Share The Word

Inspired To Do Something

Posted on November 3, 2015 by Mark Shields

In the post “The Event and Its Extent” about the physical death of Jesus on the cross and the significance of this event, both natural and religious phenomena occur. The reaction of the people to this phenomena communicates to us their recognition that Jesus was who He said He was. We know today that this was just the beginning; for in three days He would arise victorious over death.

Let us be inspired today because of this victorious kingdom of God which has become reality. We are now blessed with this new helper called the Holy Spirit to solve our problems at work, at home, and wherever we are. God created each of us as His hands and feet to change the world. Be inspired by today’s video: Do Something – Matthew West.

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. – James 1:22

The Event And Its Extent

Posted on November 2, 2015 by Mark Shields

Reading in Luke 23:44-56, there is both natural and religious phenomena that accompany Jesus’ physical death. As recorded, about noon darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon (v. 44). The curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When He had said this, He breathed His last (v. 46).

The centurion praised God when he saw all this that happened. The people who were spectators to the execution saw enough that they mourned and were convicted of their sins. The friends of Jesus stood at a distance and watched. They were not surprised at this miraculous phenomena because they knew that Jesus was the Son of God before His crucifixion and even more so after witnessing the crucifixion.

This day with You Lord, help us to understand the significance of this victory on the cross. Because of the cross, we can approach You directly. We are now blessed with the Holy Spirit working to guide us. We are thankful that You are with us even in our worries, our doubt, and our questions but through this prayer, we can feel confident because prayer allows us to talk to You. In speaking with You, we are speaking to the ONE who has all the answers. Amen!

Sermon Thoughts – (11/01/2015)

Posted on November 1, 2015 by Mark Shields

A sermon titled “Streams Of Life” was presented last week at the church I worship at. Here is a link to the podcast of each of the sermons. http://www.fumcwaco.org/pod.html

One thought from last week’s message was that many desire a life in which they feel God’s presence. In order to achieve a “With God Life”, one should remember that He wants to be present with us too. It’s not about our character traits, our talents, or our physical appearance but about setting aside time and inviting Him into our heart.

This day with God, share a thought from one of the great sermons in your community or from a podcast.

I am The Door ~

The key to being a disciple is connecting the power of God to others. You might have something someone needs today and this might make all the difference in helping them. Here is a poem to share with others today that might be that key to help them unlock the power. Have a wonderful weekend!
