Mercy PlanetWhat is Faith? by Stephen Michels
If there is one question that every professing believer in Jesus Christ should be able to answer, it must be: ”What is faith?” Understanding what faith is, and is not, is of utmost importance to the welfare of our souls. Anyone who is hungering and thirsting for the truth will want to know the answer [...]
What Think Ye of Christ? by Stephen Michels
When Jesus entered into Jerusalem just a few days prior to His death, He went into the temple and was soon confronted by the chief priests and elders (Matt. 21:23). They heard His parables and knew that He spoke of them, so they decided to try to trap Jesus in His own words (Matt. 21:45, [...]
Rejoice in The Joy of the Lord! by Stephen Michels
Recently, during my morning Bible reading time, I was meditating on the joy of the Lord, the second fruit of the Holy Spirit (Gal 5:22), and contemplating why the world does not see this attitude displayed in more followers of Jesus. Do we remember that the battle starts in our own minds and hearts? We [...]
The One Who Leads Us Into All Truth by Stephen Michels
I have been reading a great book by R.A. Torry, in which he writes: “In this passage we see the Holy Spirit guiding the conduct of the believer’s life. A true Christian life is a personally conducted life, conducted at every turn by a divine person. It is the believer’s privilege to be absolutely set [...]
Circumcision Of Christ by Travis Bryan III
The circumcision of Christ was and is a universal stripping. By His death and resurrection, the old things were stripped off, buried and put away. By “old things,” I mean the old man, the old self, the flesh, Satan’s, and his angelic and demonic powers’ control of the world, the “spirit of the world,” the [...]
A Prayer for You Today with Tim Hicks
Dear Heavenly Father, From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, your Name, Oh Lord, is to be Greatly Praised and Highly Esteemed. Exalted far above every other Name! Early will I arise to seek your Face, Oh Lord! Just as the song birds sing by Praises, so [...]
Amber Alert for Lost Souls by Carol Burke
Our heavenly Father has many children who are missing. They are in grace danger, but many are not aware of the danger they are in. Those who are aware may be hesitant to be found for fear of the judgment of God. The Father is anxious for their repentance because He loves them so much. [...]
Receiving and Speaking His Mercy
“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” John 8:7 Jesus never called the woman taken in adultery (John 8 ) or the woman who had had 5 husbands and was now living with another man, a whore (John 4). What does this say for the hate-mongering, arrogant, [...]
Every Kindred, and Tongue, and People, and Nation
Jesus opened wide His arms to redeem precious souls from every people group He put on His earth. Of the body of Christ and every member of that one body in Christ, the Bible says: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth [...]
Stirring Quotes on Prayer
“Prayer does not fit us for greater work; prayer is the greater work.” –Oswald Chambers “Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation.” Matthew 26:41 E.M. Bounds Quote on Prayer: “Prayer is absolutely necessary if we want to carry on God’s work properly. God has intended it to be so. The Twelve in the early [...]
The Blessing of Forgiveness
“And forgive us our debts, AS we forgive our debtors.” Matthew 6:9-12 If we do not forgive, we ARE NOT forgiven. According to Jesus, eternal hell awaits all who die without forgiving all others from their heart – regardless of their previous relationship with the LORD (Matt. 18:21-35; Mk. 11:25-26, etc.). “And when ye stand praying, [...]
Letting His Light Shine
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” Romans 5:5 The sweetness of His love that He has placed in your heart can be seen in your eyes. Let Him ever more fill you with His love and let [...]
MERCY: If You Need it, Show it!
MERCY: If you need it (and you certainly do), show it! – “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32) Mercy begins in the heart – in our very thoughts toward others. – “Charity … thinketh no evil; 6Rejoiceth not in [...]
Grace and Truth Came by Jesus
Deliverance from Works-Righteousness or Law-Keeping What did God give the Jewish people though Moses? What did God give the whole world through His only begotten Son? “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” John 1:17 KILL ALL law or works-righteousness in your heart and mind today! Be [...]
Psalms 103
Psalm 103 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5Who [...]
Mercy Warning
There is Danger Ahead “Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.” 2 Corinthians 5:11 The apostle Paul warned of the divine wrath coming upon all who do not get right with their Maker and Judge before it’s too late. Be Warned and Escape the Wrath to Come “Seek ye the LORD while [...]
Psalms 86-God of Restoration who is to be Feared
Psalm 86 1Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. 2Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. 3Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. 4Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, [...]
Luke 15–The God of Restoration
Luke 15 1Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. 2And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. 3And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 4What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not [...]

Jesus Stooped by Travis Bryan III
Stooping and Lifting Us “Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?” John 8:5 Notice here Jesus declines to follow Mosaic Law and immediately agree that the adulterous woman should be stoned to death. He STOOPS DOWN instead. He bends over and writes in the dust on [...]
Grumpy Old Man Reached! by Travis Bryan III
About a year ago an old man next to me on an exercise bike jumped on me for accidentally spraying some antiseptic spray in his direction. I was cleaning sweat off my bike after riding. He was real ugly about it. I reacted and said, “You could be a little nicer.” I reacted negatively to [...]
Deaf Man Blessed
Opportunities Abounding! This past week, while doing some ministry work in a local coffee shop, a precious deaf man walked up and gave a card to each person. Sometimes our initial reaction is that we are apprehensive and yet, the LORD warns us to let His love flow in and through us and to not [...]
WHERE’S THE LOG?
WE MUST NEVER spread a mere rumor friends –”Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. 2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:” Exodus 23:1-2 (KJV) Someone [...]
“Abide in the Ship” by Travis Bryan III
“Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.” Acts 27:31 Read Acts 27:27–44. The story of the ship in this passage, although literally true, is also a figure or type of the story of the church and its doctrines of election and predestination. It is a picture of the church (the great ship) [...]
Does God Show Mercy on All?
Recently, a lady who receives the Moments with My Master emails was moved upon by the LORD to address a deception she read. It involved Galatians 3:28. The disturbing post she addressed read this way: “Jesus talks to us all, no matter what color, what religion, what race….. You can disagree with people’s opinions, beliefs [...]
Merciful Savior
We all need God’s mercy and He only gives it to us when we get honest, acknowledge our sins, and turn to Him fully in repentance. “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13 He grants His mercies freely as we return to Him [...]
“Will Worship” by todd tomasella
The Peril of Self-Transformation “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18Let no man beguile you of your reward in a [...]
“The Door of My Lips”
ANYONE else ever need to pray this prayer David prayed? “Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.” (Psalms 141:3) How many times we offend others with our tongue because we do not stay upon the LORD. See James 3:1. James 3 says that ONLY the LORD can tame [...]
The Command to Forget
Here’s the command: “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, FORGETTING those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14 Are there some [...]
Mercy: To Throw or to Show?
TO CARRY AND CAST OR TO DROP? … the stone of unrighteous judgment/condemnation must be dropped to continue with Christ… it’s non-negotiable…. Here’s our incentive – “For he shall have JUDGMENT WITHOUT MERCY, that hath shewed no mercy.” (James 2:13) – “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” (John [...]
