    The king talked with them; and among them all was found no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore stood they before the king. In every matter of wisdom and understanding concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchante...

    If you died with Christ from the elements of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances, "Don't handle, nor taste, nor touch" (all of which perish with use), according to the precepts and doctrines of men? These things indeed appear like wisdom in self-imp...

A Box Of Chocolates

  • The Spirit said to Philip, "Go near, and join yourself to this chariot." Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?" He said, "How can I, unless someone explains it to me?" He begged Philip to come up and sit with him. Acts 8:29'31 WEB.

    I played music with a local band, and they had booked a bar for the weekend. I needed the money to help pay my way through Bible college, so I often played music until four in the morning. I had prayed with my pastor about quitting, but the Lord had told us, "No. Not yet." On Sunday mornings, it would often be daylight when I got home. So I would just take a shower and go to church, for I played in the praise team there as well.

    One night, about two in the morning, I stood in the parking lot of a bar and preached one of the best sermons on salvation I had ever heard. It wasn't mine but was given to me at that moment. Conviction fell on the people who heard it. One started shaking and trembling. I led him to the Lord soon after.

    The Holy Spirit had descended on me in the middle of a song, and a scripture came to mind. Then, a man off to my right caught my attention. It was like he was spotlighted, and I knew the scripture was for him, but he was drinking. So I told the Lord, "When break time comes, I am going out to my car. If you want me to share this scripture with him, then send him to me."

    When break time came around, everyone headed to the bar for a drink. I went out to my car and opened my Bible to the scripture the Lord had given me. Soon, there was a tap on the window. It was the man, and he started asking me questions about God. So I started reading him the scripture, and it became a sermon. He gave his heart to the Lord.

    The excitement that Phillip lived still happens to those who listen and are willing. When you get serious about serving the Lord Jesus Christ, your life will become like a box of chocolates. You never know what you will get, but you can bet it's going to be good.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, please give me divine encounters. Help me live my life to the fullest and become the person you created me to be. I want more of You in my life. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
