  • Best Bible Version

    Question: Bishop Houston, I was raised reading the King James Version of the Bible. Today, there are so many different versions. Could you please tell me what Bible Version is best?

    Answer: Great Question.

    You’re right. There are many bible translations. Since man’s involvement, the conversion from the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic manuscripts have lost many forms of uniqueness. There’s no perfect Bible translation. So, the reading you choose to read must be one that incorporates spiritual satisfaction within you. In other words, find a translation that you can comprehend.

    First Lady Donece and I own many Bible translations and methods for our study and reference objectives. There are many online sites with Bible versions such as Bible Gateway, Bible Hub, Biblia, and Biblica, to name a few.

    First Lady Donece and I regularly use the Amplified Bible, The New Living Translation, The Century Version, and The Message Bible. I recommend that you get into a habit to check word meanings with a Bible concordance and Bible dictionary. I’ve used the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, Young’s Analytical Concordance, Matthew Henry’s Commentary, Scofield, The Thompson Chain and Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words for decades. They’re all excellent exploration tools, especially if you’re more acquainted with the King James Version.

    Beloved, I hope my answer has helped you.
    Thank you for your question.

    Bishop, W. F. Houston, Jr.

    Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
    I pray that your day will be more blessed than yesterday.

    Beloved, throughout the Bible, we have examples of how God unexpectedly showed Himself strong on behalf of His people.

    And I’m sure many of you (like myself) know that sometimes when we’ve struggled in an area for a long time, it’s easy to just give up and accept things the way they are. But let me tell you, one of the enemy’s favorite lies is to tell you that nothing is ever going to change. He’ll tell you that you’re never going to get well, that your marriage isn’t going to work out, that you’re never going to break that addiction, you’re never gong to amount to anything.

    But I want to tell you “RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW, IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW LONG YOU’VE BEEN IN THOSE CONDITIONS, GOD CAN CHANGE THINGS “INSTANTANEOUS!!!” 

    In a split second, He can turn it all around. One touch of God’s power can heal your body. One touch of His favor can promote you. One touch of His goodness can solve that problem. Just one touch from Almighty God can instantaneously change your life.

    Beloved, I encourage you today, keep believing, keep standing, and keep hoping. Don’t ever let the enemy drag your thoughts down because God is working behind the scenes.

     “To God Be the Glory!!!”

  • “Remember What God Says About You”

    The enormous mass.png

    Beloved, people will often toss dirt on your name. They will in one way or another refer to you as a nobody. To them you are as low as dirt.
     
    But what they fail to realize is when God sees dirt He looks at it as gold, when they called you a nobody, God calls you somebody.
     
    Though they may never acknowledge it to your face, they can’t help but see how God has turn you around purified your mind and made you His!!!
     
    So whoever tells you you’re worthless,
    remember: “God says you’re REMARKABLE!!!
     
    Whoever tells you you’re no good,
    remember: God says you’re VIRTUOUS!!!
     
    Whoever tells you you’re useless,
    remember: God says you’re USABLE!!!
     
    Whoever tells you you’re weak,
    remember: God says you’re SOLID!!!
     
    Whoever tells you you’re helpless,
    remember: God says you’re POWERFUL!!!
     
    Whoever tells you you’re a total failure,
    remember: Gods says you’re a SUCCESS!!!
     
    Whoever tells you you’ll never measure up to God’s standard,
    remember: God calls you His BLESSING!!!
     
    Beloved, don’t let others bring you down with their pejorative observations.
    The last time I checked God was still God, King of kings
    and Ruler of all rulers.
     
    Have a Blessed Weekend Everyone!!! 😀

  • “It’s OK To Cry Out To The Lord”

    14138234_1213527365372023_1713928445639838332_odddPsalm 57:1-3

    Beloved, when you face a crisis, what is your first line of defense? Well for most, the natural response is to attempt to fix the problem in their own strength. But God, gives us a different way to handle difficulty.

    Let me tell you about David. David was no stranger to stress or sudden appearances of evil. You’ll find in Psalm 57 he wrote, he was facing many hardships and also you’ll find in 1 Samuel 24, David was being pursued by King Saul, who wanted to kill him. The shepherd’s response was to cry out to God and take refuge in Him until the adversities had passed.

    Let’s learn from David’s example by exploring his words.
    Today, we’ll focus on the One to whom the psalmist cries.

    *First, David refers to God as El Elyon, or Supreme Ruler. He’s the Most High with all power and wisdom, the only One who can help us in our need.

    *Second, the Psalm says that God is our refuge. If He’s a place of shelter for our soul, then we don’t need to stress or panic. He covers us and protects us when issues come upon us and leave us feeling helpless.

    *Third, the Psalm expresses complete confidence that the Almighty can and will accomplish all things. He’ll do whatever is necessary to intervene on our behalf, He will hold accountable those who oppose us, and also He’ll surround us with His love and truth.

    During His time on earth, Jesus displayed great passion. So, we can approach Him when emotions run high. If your heart is troubled, It’s OK to cry out to the Lord. I want you to know that when you stand at the throne of Grace and Mercy, you will be standing in front of your powerful protector, who is more than capable and willing to do all you need Him to do.

    “God Bless You.

  • “Get Ready for Your Celebratory Banquet”

    Bishop' inspirational word week 1 Get Ready for Your Celebratory Banquet“Get Ready for Your Celebratory Banquet”

    Praise the Lord Beloved. 😀
    Beloved, God assures us that He will always lead us into victory!!! That means no matter what you’re facing, no matter what’s going on in the world around you, no matter what anybody says, you should always be planning for a comeback!!! In the middle of that adversity or tough time, start making your list of who you’re going to invite to your celebratory banquet. You don’t have to wait for everything to be perfect before you decide to celebrate what God is going to do in your life.

    Beloved today, why don’t you step out and put some action behind your faith? In other words, if you’re in the hospital, start planning what you’re going to do when you get out. If you lost some money when the stock market went down, start planning your coming out of debt party. When things don’t look good in the natural, remember, we serve a supernatural God. With God leading you into victory, you can always plan for restoration.
