Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace” Hebrews 13:9  Strange teachings carry us away from our necessary awareness of Jesus Christ, whereas God’s grace always strengthens our heart in Jesus.  It is good to be strengthened in Christ.  It is not good to be carried away from Christ.  If we look at the whole world of Christianity, we can easily see how a volume of

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight” Proverbs 3:6 Thank God that He is here to make our paths straight.  When we put Christ first in all our ways, fixing our eyes upon Him, then God is able to make all our paths straight.  How does He do this?  God makes our paths straight through making us straight. In our acknowledging Christ first in all our ways, we become focused completely upon Him, and so we

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding” Proverbs 3:5 So, here’s the problem with leaning on our own understanding; it’s that we are leaning.  If we are leaning then we are not standing straight and if we are not standing straight then we are crooked. Also, if we are leaning then we are going to fall down.  This is what leaning on our own understanding does; it causes us to be crooked and falli

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “The life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God , who loved me and gave Himself up for me” Galatians 2:20 The best, most spiritually healthy way possible for you and I to live this new life we have in Jesus Christ, yet still dealing with living in this flesh, is for us to allow our complete focus to be upon “the Son of God, who loved... and gave Himself up for” us.  Jesus loved Paul; He gave Himself up for Pa

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” Galatians 2:20 It’s one thing to believe in Christ and it is another thing to willingly identify oneself with Christ.  When we believe, we may still remain at a distance (perhaps innocently or perhaps of our own choosing for our own purpose). But when we identify with Christ, we come closer, all the way to Jesus, that we may know Him and know w

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3 You and I have been blessed with “every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.” Every single spiritual blessing in the heavenly places that exists has been granted to us. Do you believe this?   Where are these blessings? They are all in Christ, and this is the way our Abba Father

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Noah Walked With God” Genesis 6:9 “Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him” Genesis 5:24   Enoch was Noah’s great, great grandfather. It is important for us to see that when we walk with God, we are not only obeying and blessing our Lord, walking in the light of His goodness, but we are passing on a legacy, for those who come after us.   Enoch walked with God and God took Him, to be forever with Himself.   Noah, Enoch

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God” Genesis 6:9   When we walk with God, He shows us things and takes us places, all that we might be with Him and better know Him.   Noah walked with God and, as a result, “Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord” (Genesis 6:8). When we walk with God, we are close to Him, in fellowship with Him, so we are able to see favor and grace in our Lord’s eyes towards us.  

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God” Genesis 6:9   For the past two days I have been sharing the blessing of Noah finding favor and grace in the eyes of the Lord (Genesis 6:8) and how this truth is for us today in our Lord Jesus Christ!   Yes, in our New Covenant Savior, Lord, and High Priest, Jesus Christ, we are blessed continuously to see favor and grace towards us, as we have seen, through “the O

Today’s Word Of Encouragement From Wayne: “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord” Genesis 6:8   This verse from Genesis shows us that God’s grace has always been intended to be saving grace.   Noah walked with God and God loved Noah. When destruction came upon the earth because of the wickedness of man, Noah was exempt, because of the grace and favor of God.   Noah was saved by grace, and so are you and I. “But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with w
