Intro
Tuesday, January 13 2026from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship
Good day to you.
Only 353 days to the year 2027
Scripture Of The Day
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. Psalms 4:3.Read The Bible In a Year
Genesis 31-32; Matthew 9:18-38.Thoughts For The Day
One day in heaven the unseen, infinite God will graciously make Himself visible to us. We will see Jesus and live in His light (Revelation 21:23). But seeing Him will be seeing God, for He is everything God is. What a blessed prospect!I believe we must first recognize that God in His essential being is pure Spirit (John 4:24), and therefore is invisibly present everywhere in His vast creation (Psalm 139:7-12). But we read in the Bible that on various occasions God appeared to people in a visible way (Genesis 18:1-3). He created a burning bush from which to challenge Moses (Exodus 3:2). And further, the glory of His presence was revealed, and "there was under His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone" (Exodus 24:9-10). God can appear in any form He desires, even while He Himself remains invisibly present throughout the universe.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

Personal Story Of The Day
Amazing Grace... How Sweet The Sound.How would you like to increase your I.Q. and problem-solving abilities? It may be as simple as listening to certain types of music. A newspaper cited a study of laboratory mice which were subjected to different kinds of music, to see if it had any effect on their ability to solve complex problems.
The mice were put at the entrance to a maze, and timed on how long it took them to get through the maze to the cheese at the end. The average time was 5 minutes.
Then heavy metal music was played as they negotiated their way through the maze. Average time: 37.5 minutes (not surprising to most sane people). Then classical music was played under the same conditions. Average time: 1.5 minutes.
Those doing the experiment concluded that classical music, with its richness and complex scores, created a higher level of thinking for the mice and enhanced their ability to solve complex problems. On the other hand, heavy metal music dulled their senses and short circuited their reasoning powers. Mozart and Beethoven beat out Metallica and Megadeth.
"See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;" (Eph. 5:15-20).
Today, while you are caught in the "rat race," find the music that will make you smarter and bring you home faster.
Jokes Of The Day
A squad of American soldiers was patrolling along the Iraqi border. To their surprise, they found the dead body of an Iraqi soldier in a ditch along the road.A short distance up the road, they found a badly injured American soldier in a ditch on the other side of the road, who was still barely alive. They ran to him, cradled his blood-covered head and asked him what had happened.
"Well," he whispered, "I was walking down this road, armed to the teeth. I came across this heavily armed Iraqi border guard. I looked him right in the eye and shouted, "Saddam Hussein is an unprincipled, lying piece of trash!" He looked me right in the eye and shouted back, "Bill Clinton is an unprincipled, lying piece of trash too!"
"We were standing there shaking hands when the truck hit us."

There was a young Irishman who volunteered for military service during World War II. He had such a high aptitude for aviation that he was sent right to Flight Centre skipping boot camp.
The very first day at Flight he solos and is the best flier on the base. All they could do was give him his gold wings and assign him immediately to an aircraft carrier in the Pacific.
On his first day aboard he took off and single-handedly shot down 6 Japanese Zeroes. Then climbing up to 20,000 ft., he found 9 more Japanese planes and shot them all down, too. Noting that his fuel was getting low, he descended, circled the carrier and came in for a perfect landing on the deck. He threw back the canopy, climbed out and jogged over to the captain.
Saluting smartly he said, "Well sir, how did I do on my very first day?"
The captain turned around, bowed, and replied, "You make one velly impoltant mistake!"
************************************
A young lady came home very sad from a date. She told her mother, "Anthony proposed to me an hour ago." "Then why are you so sad?" her mother asked. "Because he also told me he is an atheist. Mom, he doesn't even believe there's a Hell."
Her mother replied, "Marry him anyway. Between the two of us, we'll show him how wrong he is."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Law Cannot Be Part Of Salvation...there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. Galatians 1:7. References from Galatians 1:6-9.
The Word of God causes trouble for some people... they are trapped in their traditions and seem unable to work out the truth contained within the Gospel. Paul had proclaimed the gospel in Galatia and several people had believed. Yet some in the early church were troubled. For those early Jewish Christians, the problem was that many of the people to whom Paul preached were not Jews, and Paul's message suggested that they need not become Jewish.
Paul was telling Gentiles that the salvation offered by Jesus, the Jewish Messiah (the word 'Christ' means 'Messiah'), was open to them if they obeyed the Gospel plan. (Gal. 1:14). The heart of the matter was not that Paul preached to Gentiles. It was that he preached a message that offered salvation to Gentiles apart from their submitting to circumcision and other traditional observances. Paul was preaching a message that offered salvation on terms that seemed to conflict with the commands of the Jewish Law.
Galatians is a complicated letter. As we study some of it this month, we will see that Paul's response to these concerns is clear and firm... to require Gentiles to submit to the Law contradicts the freedom of the gospel. Such an approach perverts the good news. The gospel message proclaims Jesus as victor over evil and Lord of all people. Nothing we do or say is permitted to contradict the freedom, power and responsibility, revealed within the Gospel.
Dealing With Antagonism In Your Life?
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 1 Peter 5:8.
Sometimes the negative influences of the world pay us a visit... just like an enemy would. My life is not any different than the average person out there. I have my turns with the ungodly negativity tackling my family and me. But it's what you do during those times that makes the difference. It is our natural instinct to strike back, when the enemy comes to call.
We want to do whatever it takes to avenge our sorrows! I know; been there, done that! But when we take matters into our own hands, we are acting just like the enemy. And believe it or not, that is what the enemy wants. It takes our mind off God and onto the problems of life. Then, the enemy knows just what he needs to do to keep you upset, occupied, and out of the protection of the Lord. We need to be prepared when the enemy comes to call.
The Spirit within us gives us power to resist the devil. But it takes effort and desire on our part. We need to 'feed' on the Word daily, be clothed with the armour of God, and ready to meet negativity head on! The best way to really trouble the enemy is by becoming his enemy... share your testimony while you live your life as one who fears no evil and is in control of their decisions.
