Selah for Today 10-29-2019 - Overcomer

Overcome is succeeding in dealing with a problem or difficulty, to defeat an opponent; to prevail. It also means to overpower or overwhelm. 

We as believers are always to be overcomers, we are never to be overcome, in other words, we are never supposed to be defeated. We just haven't won yet and we will win!! 

Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20(NIV)

 ^"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."  Acts 1:8-9(NIV) ⁸ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

  We have the power of the Holy Spirit, He leads us and guides and when we move with Him we Win!!!

Selah for Today 10-28-2019 - Really

Really can mean, an actual fact, as opposed to what is said or imagined to be true or possible or can be used to expressed interest, surprise or doubt. 
  I heard this word used a lot lately used to express surprise or doubt. So it REALLY is a fact that God loves you. In the Bible, God states this plain and clear in
 John 3:16 (NIV) For God so loved YOU* that he gave his one and only Son, that WHEN YOU* believe in him YOU *shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the YOU*, but to save the YOU* through him. (*changes were done for emphasis)  and God wants the best for you 

Jeremiah 29:11(NIV)  For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Yes, REALLY!!!

Selah for Today 10-25-2019 - Expectations

Expectations are defined as a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future.
The question is, what are your expectations? Are you expecting health or sickness? A great day or a bad day? Success or failure? Increase or lack? 
 Deuteronomy 30:19 (NIV)

This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

   Philippians 4:8 (NIV) Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

God calls to you choose Life, knowing the plans He has for you.  God encourages you to expect Good.  Which do you choose?

Selah for Today 10-24-2019- Freedom

Freedom according to Webster's Dictionary is the quality or state of being free such as the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action. Liberation from slavery.
  Freedom is wonderful, but freedom without responsibility always leads back to slavery. When we don't take personal responsibility for our freedoms, someone else will do it for us and that leads to tyranny and slavery. True freedom begins with Christ.

Galatians 5:1(NIV) It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.  1 Corinthians 10:23 (NIV) “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive

Selah for Today 10-23-2019- Jubilee

Why Jubilee? In Bible Jubilee means, a year of emancipation and restoration and much more. It is found in Leviticus of the trumpet (Shofar) on the Day of Atonement in Leviticus Chapter 25.

  Since the fall of Adam and Eve, God has been working to bring mankind into Jubilee. This is where we will be emancipated from sin and our relationship with God will be restored to the one like Adam and Eve had with Him. But as with Israel, we can choose to accept God's emancipation and restoration or ignore it and miss the Jubilee of God. The choice is yours.
