Daily Devotional – Isn’t There Some Misunderstanding?

Isn’t There Some Misunderstanding? – From Utmost.org March 28, 2016 “Let us go to Judea again.” The disciples said to Him, “…are You going there again?” —John 11:7-8  Just because I don’t understand what Jesus Christ says, I have no right to determine that He must be mistaken in what He says. That is a dangerous view, and it is never right to think that my obedience to God’s directive will bring dishonor to Jesus. The only thing that will…

Verse of the Day – John 11:25-26 KJV

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life:  he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:  And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.  Believest thou this?

Daily Devotional – Spiritual Vision Through Personal Purity

Spiritual Vision Through Personal Purity – From Utmost.org March 26, 2016 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. —Matthew 5:8   Purity is not innocence— it is much more than that. Purity is the result of continued spiritual harmony with God. We have to grow in purity. Our life with God may be right and our inner purity unblemished, yet occasionally our outer life may become spotted and stained. God intentionally does not protect us from this…

Verse of the Day – Romans 8:11 KJV

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Daily Devotional – Maintaining the Proper Relationship

Maintaining the Proper Relationship – From Utmost.org March 25, 2016  …the friend of the bridegroom… —John 3:29  Goodness and purity should never be traits that draw attention to themselves, but should simply be magnets that draw people to Jesus Christ. If my holiness is not drawing others to Him, it is not the right kind of holiness; it is only an influence which awakens undue emotions and evil desires in people and diverts them from heading in the right direction.…

Daily Devotional – Am I Carnally Minded?

Am I Carnally Minded? –  From Utmost.org March 23, 2016  Where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal…? —1 Corinthians 3:3 The natural man, or unbeliever, knows nothing about carnality. The desires of the flesh warring against the Spirit, and the Spirit warring against the flesh, which began at rebirth, are what produce carnality and the awareness of it. But Paul said, “Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the…

Daily Devotional – The Burning Heart

The Burning Heart – From Utmost.org March 22, 2016  Did not our heart burn within us…? —Luke 24:32  We need to learn this secret of the burning heart. Suddenly Jesus appears to us, fires are set ablaze, and we are given wonderful visions; but then we must learn to maintain the secret of the burning heart— a heart that can go through anything. It is the simple, dreary day, with its commonplace duties and people, that smothers the burning heart—…

Verse of the Day – Isaiah 25:8 KJV

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

Daily Devotional – Identified of Simply Interested?

Identified or Simply Interested? – From Utmost.org March 21, 2016  I have been crucified with Christ… —Galatians 2:20  The inescapable spiritual need each of us has is the need to sign the death certificate of our sin nature. I must take my emotional opinions and intellectual beliefs and be willing to turn them into a moral verdict against the nature of sin; that is, against any claim I have to my right to myself. Paul said, “I have been crucified…
