Trust, Love, and Walls

To truly love you have to give up control and risk getting hurt. This is a scary thing; however, those who won’t take the risk will not get to truly know what love is or how great it feels. To truly love God, you have to give up yourself. You give up control of your life, and you place it in God’s hands. Then and only then will you begin to receive all the love God has for you.

Lack of trust is a wall between you and God. That wall must be broken down before true relationship can… Continue

Are you having a hard time spending time with the Lord?

Do you sometimes find it difficult to motivate yourself to spend time with the Lord? When we think about that, it really doesn't make sense. God has all the power and all the wisdom that we could ever need. Why do we go and ask other people what to do about a situation when we should be asking the one who knows everything. I think some of it is because when we talk to another person, they are right in front of us. We can see them, hear them, and touch them. It doesn't take any faith to talk… Continue

Trusting God for Everything!

To live by faith means to "Totally Trust God for Everything!" Now really think about that. "Everything". Your job, your spouse, your relationships, your money, your car, your positions, and every situation. Everything! It means when things don't make sense in the natural that you have the belief that God is working everything out, even when it looks like things are falling apart. It is knowing that things are actually falling "together". It means trusting that everything will be ok. How hard… Continue

Spiritual Consequences of Abortion

Abortion has serious spiritual consequences. Do you belong to one of the religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc.) that believes the section of the Bible that Christians call the Old Testament? See what it says.

Genesis 1:27 says God made mankind "in His own image." Obviously we are different than the animals, and God views us as special--including the baby He has made in your womb.

People often consider pregnancy an accident, but God takes credit for forming the baby… Continue

JEHOVAH-RO'IY

“Then she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, "You are a God who sees"; for she said, "Have I even remained alive here after seeing Him?" (Gen.16:13 NASV)

This story in Genesis chapter sixteen is about a situation that arose because Abram and Sarai had taken matters into their own hands because Sarai could not have children.

Sarai talked Abram into taking her slave Hagar to be his wife so that they might have… Continue

Boy, you can find answers in the strangest of places!!

Earlier tonight, like a good Christian, I was reading my Bible for our group, Jesus Discovery. We're looking at the first five verses where John claims that Jesus was/is God.

Anyhow, I got interrupted from my train of thought by an email from a Facebook contact. So instead of coming here, I went to Facebook and checked up on what my family and friends were up to. Anyhow, after some scouting around there, I ended up reading a political report about the financial mess the Rudd… Continue

ORISSA KANDHMAL REPORT

Prafulla Das

KANDHAMAL: From outside, the situation appears normal in Orissa's Kandhamal district, which witnessed large-scale anti-Christian violence five months ago. But interaction with locals and administration officials on Monday made it clear that the divide on the lines of religion, caste and political affiliations was hampering restoration of peace.

Although life turned a bit normal with the opening of some schools and colleges, distrust among those belonging to… Continue

I AM A CHRISTIAN......

I Am A Christian…

Christianity is a life style….

Relationship with God is a lifestyle..

The apostle Paul gave us his definition in Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ, therefore it is no longer I, but Christ, who lives in me: and the life which I now live in the this physical body, I live by the faith of the Son of God" "It is no longer I, but Christ"…

BEFORE TIME BEGAN...

...GOD HAD A PLAN!!

(I shared this in the Jesus Discovery group. We've just started into John's gospel. If you'd like to join us just ask for an invite.)

He knew that His prize creation, we humans, would sin. He knew that we would mess up His wonderful creation. He knew that we would turn our back on Him. Yet, He still chose to create us.

(I've just done a little search and found this...)

Before God created… Continue

Trusting in the Darkness

I own my own business. As a life coach, my business rates in Catagory 3. Catagory 1 has to do with shelter and food; Catagory 2 is about dental care and gas. Catagory 3 is about interior decorators and counselors. There are days when I can't see where the next client is coming from and I feel troubled.

My husband of 36 years just completed seven weeks of daily radiation/chemo for cancer. I think he is going to live, but sometimes I feel troubled.

The uncertainty of life… Continue

learning

God has used this time of pain to teach me many lessons. I'm amazed of how much he has taught me and is teaching me even in such a short time. I'm learning to be content with who God has made me. This has been a realization that i just couldn't grasp for so long. I'm a recovered anorexic and God has brought me through that but i still have a problem with grasping his love and beauty for me and even my body. When i first had problems walking i refused to get a cart at walmart. "What will they… Continue

Some Words about the Word!!

A few of us have started a discovery into John's gopel. The group is called Jesus Discovery. It's not a study where you have someone teaching the others, but rather it IS a DISCOVERY, where we are all discovering more about Jesus together.

Anyhow, here's something that the Lord unfolded to me this morning from our reading in chapter 1. John starts off:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning."… Continue

Heterosexual Harassment

Pastor Williams,

I have been married 33 years and I am a heterosexual. I believe that heterosexuals can be harassed just like homosexuals can be sexually harassed. I also believe God's Words that says at Leviticus 18:22 that "a man must not lie with another man as though he was a woman; it's an abomination to God". I also believe that some women are involved in homosexuality because Romans 1:26, 27 says there are some women who like some of the men did that which was unnatural. I also… Continue

The Power of Your Words.

Have you ever really listened to the words you speak? When I was first learning how important my thoughts and words were to my life, I started listening to what I was speaking. At the time I was working on my thoughts trying not to allow any negative ones in my mind, but while I was working on that I started noticing all the negative things I was speaking.

The words didn't seem like much, but as I kept track it really accumulated. They were just small things like "traffic is going… Continue

Our Calling from God

Dear Saints of God

Greetings to you in the precious name and honor of Jesus our Lord and Savior, I am so thankful to God that his hands and his calling was upon my life even before the foundation of the world. The evils of abuse and rejections that I went through (while growing up) was not in vain, for God has always been with me, He delivered me, set me free, and has given me new life from the past by the shedding of His blood (through it all) and has given me "TOTAL VICTORY!” What the… Continue

Prophetic message 7/2-2009. kl.01:20 PM. My son, write, says the Lord.

"I see my children who are facing more and more away from me.They put up their own ways. They do not ask me whether I will accept and like what they do. They put up their own ways in their own thoughts. Many do it genuinly, but spirits of lier come to them and they are wild ledet. When a blind leads the blind, will they both fall in the ditch.

WILLING AND OBEDIENT

WILLING AND OBEDIENT

Isaiah 1:19 says, " If you are willing and obedient, then you will eat the best of the Land."

A young boy was acting up and his dad told him to sit down. The boy was very defiant and the dad had to repeat himself, "sit down!" The boy sat down with his arms folded said, “ I might be sitting down on the outside, but I am still standing up on the inside!”

There is a real difference between being… Continue
