John 10:16 “I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.” God is alive and is talking to you wherever you are. It may not seem to be true, but so is God. And He has some things to share with you that will change your life. If
Proverbs 4:20-22 “My son, pay attention to my words, give ear to my words. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in your heart. For my words are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.” The key to succeed is to pay attention and to listen to His words. Many people fail because they do not have their eyes turned to the Word
Romans 4:21 “He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises.” I have good news for you. No matter who you are or what you are going through right now, you can change your life. If you are living in glorious victory, you can move on to even greater glory. If you live in defeat, you can turn it around and turn it into success. You
Genesis 12:1 “The Lord said to Abraham, “Go from your country, your family and your father’s house to a land that I will show you.” Abraham’s environment and heritage were the opposite of his faith. He was a citizen of Ur of the Chaldees, probably in the area where the Garden of Eden was located. The people to whom he belonged had built the city of Babel and the great
Matthew 9:36 “But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.” Compassion is one of the things that people need more than anything else in this world. There is so much suffering and pain that people need someone to approach them with the compassion of God. Compassion is an action brought by the Holy
1 Samuel 3 : 10 “And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.” Young Samuel was engaged in serving the Lord, together with the prophet Eli. Unfortunately, the voice of the Lord was not often heard in those days, and even visions were rare. Instead, God acts in person and wishes to speak to us and
1 Samuel 10:6 “and the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.” When the Spirit of God comes in a powerful way on a person, that person will probably do strange things like prophesy, but in most cases he or she will be transformed into a new person. The same Holy Spirit who came upon Saul,
2 Samuel 24:17 “And when David saw the angel smiting among the people, he said unto the LORD, Behold, I have sinned. I am the guilty one.” God called David a man after his own heart and he never took his word back. What do you think was the reason for that? I mean, David was always sinning and sometimes he committed very serious sins! Even at the end of
Romans 5:2 “By faith we have access to this grace through Christ, in which we stand firm, and we glory in the hope of the glory of God.” Through the faith that God has given to every human being, through Jesus Christ, we have been taken to a place of undeserved privilege. This extraordinary place is the place where all things are possible to the believer. We are not “all-powerful”
Genesis 50:4 “When the days of mourning were over, Joseph spoke to the men of Pharaoh’s house and said to them…” Today you are still dealing with the loss of a loved one, or, although not on the same level, but still painful, the loss of a job or something you loved very much. I know that one of the most difficult things is either the loss of a child
Romans 12:21 “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” When we are attacked or injured by someone who wishes to harm us, unless we flee, we would be ready to apply the saying: “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth”. This saying, which shows the reciprocity between the crime committed and the punishment received, appears in the Old Testament. “An eye for
3 John 1:2 “Beloved, I wish you to prosper in all respects and be in good health, as the state of your soul prospers.” When we talk about prosperity, many times our religious mindset makes us react. Especially here in Europe, we directly associate prosperity with the prosperity of the American gospel. Of course, there are some mistakes and abuses in this regard and unfortunately not only in the USA,
1 Samuel 30:6 “And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.” We have seasons in our lives and sometimes we can be very discouraged. If you think you’re having a hard time right now, David would be the one
Psalm 23:5-6“And without controversyThou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.” On behalf of the entire team at Jean-Luc Trachsel Ministries and in the name of our precious Savior, I wish
1 Timothy 3:16“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” You may be wondering what the first day of Christmas was, this question has been causing debate and conflict since the dawn of time. Yet the date is irrelevant. If the date of
Psalms 98“Shout for joy to the LORD, all you people of the earth. Break forth into singing and rejoicing, and shout for joy before the King, the LORD. Let the sea roar with all that is in it; let the world and them that dwell therein break forth into joy; let the rivers clap their hands; let all the mountains shout for joy before the LORD. For he is coming
Luke 2:14 (KJV)“Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, good will toward men.” After a heavenly messenger of the Lord appeared and announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds, a choir of angels sang in perfect harmony proclaiming, “Peace on earth and goodwill among men” (Luke 2:14). This scene must have been so moving, so powerful and so glorious all at the same time. But why
John 8:12 (KJV)“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” The effort of many to make their homes, nativity scenes or Christmas trees beautiful with lights and other ornaments is, to say the least, remarkable. Light creates a warm atmosphere, it enriches the beauty that is already there
