Daily Devotional – Is He Really My Lord?

Is He Really My Lord? – From Utmost.org March 5, 2016 …so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus… —Acts 20:24  Joy comes from seeing the complete fulfillment of the specific purpose for which I was created and born again, not from successfully doing something of my own choosing. The joy our Lord experienced came from doing what the Father sent Him to do. And He says to us,…

Daily Devotional – Is This True of Me?

Is This True of Me? – From Utmost.org March 4, 2016 None of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself… —Acts 20:24  It is easier to serve or work for God without a vision and without a call, because then you are not bothered by what He requires. Common sense, covered with a layer of Christian emotion, becomes your guide. You may be more prosperous and successful from the world’s perspective, and will have…

Daily Devotional – His Commision to Us

His Commission to Us from Utmost.org March 3, 2016  Feed My sheep. —John 21:17  This is love in the making. The love of God is not created— it is His nature.

The devil never inflicts pain there, and neither can sin nor human emotions. Nothing can cut through to that part of our being but the Word…

Daily Devotional – The Piercing Question

The Piercing Question from Utmost.org March 1, 2016 Do you love Me? —John 21:17  Peter’s response to this piercing question is considerably different from the bold defiance he exhibited only a few days before when he declared, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” (Matthew 26:35; also see Matthew 26:33-34). Our natural individuality, or our natural self, boldly speaks out and declares its feelings. But the true love within our inner spiritual self can be…

Daily Devotional – What do You want the Lord to do for You?

What Do You Want The Lord to Do for You?  From Utmost.org February 29, 2016  “What do you want Me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.” —Luke 18:41  Is there something in your life that not only disturbs you, but makes you a disturbance to others? If so, it is always something you cannot handle yourself. “Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all…
