Scripture: Acts 13:16-23

I. Introduction: How would you like to be remembered? Saints such as Abraham, Moses, David, Peter, and Paul have inspired believers throughout the ages. Each of them, although imperfect, is an amazing example of what the Lord can do through hearts that are truly committed to Him. Do you want to be like…

Situation: 

When my husband and I got married, I was debt free and my credit was good.

My husband’s credit was not good, he could not put utilities into his name, he had defaulted on a student loan, he had not paid back his mom for debt from his previous marriage, and he had back taxes due that I found out about several years since our marriage. 

When we got married, everything went into my name including utilities, vehicles and the purchase of our home.

We are…

I read this and just wanted to share it here! 

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. 

The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. 

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; 

it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. 

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. 

They all…

I hate Mondays.  It’s a day that I have to reflect on what happened on August 21, 2011.  That was the day my world was rocked and nothing has been the same since.  On August 21^st, I was arrested.  My husband and I had been fighting and after he called me names, I triggered and I slapped him which resulted in him hitting me, me falling to the ground, breaking dishes out of the open dishwasher and just crumbling.   At my request, my stepson called the police and I was the one that…

I have always been a person of little faith if none at all!  For as long as I can remember I've always jumped to the most negative of conclusions when it came to certain areas of my life. Not to say that at times I was wrong because I wasn't but at times I would be. I realize that many life experiences can mold you into the present being that you live in.

I have a big brother who has pretty much gone through some of the same hardships as I have growing up; being made fun of our looks,…

‘In the middle of a messy situation with a church, who represents the church to those who are outside the church.



Church—what is it to you? No, really … stop a moment and think. What is church to you?? We use the word ‘church’ to describe several different things: There is church, referring to a building; church, meaning worship service—i.e., Did you go to church this morning? From the insiders’…

Prophetic Time is racing ahead. This raises a question:

Firstly we know that the Temple will be rebuilt, of that there can be no doubt.

Therefore, when will the Temple be rebuilt?  Will it be before the advent of Christ?

Can we consider it being built before, during or after the Millenium?

What about the possibility of it only being built after this present world has finished it's course? 

C'mon Prophets of the Most High here on AAG.  Let's hear your…

Good Morning Father,

First, I just want to praise you and thank you for your unconditional love, mercy and grace.  In this world, we don't get those things as you give.  I praise you Lord!

Yesterday was a better day than Thursday evening.  I thank you for your Word and being able to fellowship with others while studying your Word!  It helps me to keep my eyes focused on you rather than the issues at hand.  Lord, at Celebrate Recovery last night I heard Karen's…

The weapons of our warfare are not carnel but they are mighty through the Holy Spirit. The devil would like us to use carnel weapons. Not gun's or knife's but gossip, back biting, envy, jealously etc. Praise God for the Holy Spirit who is always with us. Are we putting on the full armor of god to face our day? Are we remembering to shod our feet with peace and our breast plate of rightiousness? I' m writing this because I stuggle daily with some issue's at work and when I pray and feed my…

POWER in Prayer.  breakthrough prayer.

‘But it feels like my prayers just hit the ceiling … I wonder if God even hears me.  Of course, maybe I am not praying in the right way—not really sure. Hey, is there a right way to pray?  Is there something I am…
