Paul was wonderfully transformed from his errors of his ways and brought to the knowledge and faith of Christ, and appointed to the office of an apostle This was not done in an ordinary way, nor by ordinary means, but in an extraordinary manner; (1) for God had separated him from his mother's womb: the change that was wrought in him was in pursuance of a divine purpose concerning him, whereby he was appointed to be a Christian and an apostle, before he came into the world, or had done…

WHEN IS THE LATTER RAIN TO FALL?

How much does one know or comprehend after death?

And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country and laid on him the cross to carry it behind Jesus. And there followed Him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for Him.  Luke 23.26 and following. . .…

Forgiveness

Father, in Jesus name, I pray for those individuals who have hurt me. As an act of my will, I forgive them for what they did. I will not hate them, despise them, or desire that they suffer retribution for their actions. In fact, Lord, I ask You to forgive them and open their eyes so that they will see and know that they hurt me. Draw them close to You, Lord. Minister Your life unto…

The biblical accounts from Luke 23 and Matthew 27:

When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had wanted to see him; in fact, he was hoping to see him perform some sort of miracle. He plied him with many questions, but Jesus gave no answer. The…

As a delicate flower,

you bring beauty to a barren garden

with your wondrous smile.

Despite the harsh winds of Life,

you are firmly planted in God's hands

and stand upright in strength.

Your tenderness will always be evident;

avoid those who would look

to trample you under foot.

Let Jehovah's spiritual principles

blossom fully in your life -

Be a blessing to others

and reflect the brillance of His…

To willingly lay down one's life
for the redemption of all others
is an immeasurable sacrifice.
More painful than His Suffering
were the silent tears
that stained the Savior's cheeks
in memoriam
of those who rejected Him.

Reaching Towards His Unbounded Glory
A Journey Of... Poetic Purpose

In preaching the gospel, the apostle sought to bring persons to the obedience, not of men, but of God. But Paul would not attempt to alter the doctrine of Christ, either to gain their favour, or to avoid their fury. In so important a matter we must not fear the frowns of men, nor seek their favour, by using words of men's wisdom. Concerning the manner wherein he received the gospel, he had it by revelation from Heaven. He was not led to…

We left Jesus standing before the Sanhedrin, with Caiaphas saying, 'We don't need any more witnesses; we heard all we need to hear,' planning to send Jesus to Pilate, governor of Judah.

There is no doubt that this was the most famous and the…

SO THAT HE COULD FULFILL

THE PROPHECY

AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR

CHARITY

SO THAT WE CAN LIVE

ETERNALLY

THE PENALTY .

Isa 43:1-4 ...Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are Mine. 2 When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. 3 For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt as a…

The Heavens Opened: Part 21

By Anna Rountree

(Continuation)



A Burning Flame of Love

Suddenly, the throne became a towering column of fire, roaring louder than any forge on earth. I involuntarily stepped backward, for the fire seemed hotter than the furnaces that melt iron ore into molten magma.

“Anna:’ my Father said with a voice of thunder, “can you live within the fire?”

“Father,” I said hesitantly, “I cannot wish for painful…

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you with a thankful heart for all the things you have done for me. I really cannot thank you enough. I do want to continue to be one of you faithful servants. I must rely on you to fill me with your love and strength every day in order to be obedient and serve you. Help me to be able to share your love with all those who you allow me to be a witness to. Lord, help me to overcome the sin and weaknesses that hinder Your work in my life. I do ask for the…

JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE & HE IS LORD!

I THANK GOD FOR THE POWER IN THE BLOOD OF JEUS CHRIST THAT HAD REMEEDED US FROM ALL SIN, AND FROM ALL CURSES, FROM THE DOMINION OF SATAN AND NOW WE ARE BLESSED WITH ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS IN CHRIST JESUS! HALLELUJAH!

JESUS CHRIST IDENTIFIED HIMSELF WITH MAN IN EVERY WAY (EXCEPT SIN) EVEN TO THE DEATH ON THE CROSS, WENT INTO HELL AND ON THE THIRD DAY HAVING PAID THE PENALTY FOR SIN, AROSE FROM THE DEAD HAVING BROKEN…

And so Jesus departs from the Upper Room . . . and begins the quiet march toward his arrest.  He returns again this night to the Mount of Olives, and stops in the garden that we hold so dear, the Garden of Gethsemane.  We watch as Jesus prays to his Father, about the agony that is soon to come upon him …    Luke 22.39-46…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your love and goodness to me. You have been very patient and merciful to me. Lord, I need that same love and mercy towards others. Father, I ask You to remove all deceit from my heart and cleanse me so that I might have a pure heart before You. Lord, deliver our nation of deceit and lying. Help us all to keep our word, when we give it to someone. Restore truth to our land. We desire truth to abide in our homes and our businesses. Lord, I also ask that…

WHAT ARE WE REALLY SAYING WHEN WE SAY "I CARE"? WHEN SOMEONE IS HURTING, ARE WE SAYING BECAUSE WE REALLY DO CARE? OR ARE WE SAYING IT BECAUSE WE JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, SO WE CAN COMPARE IT TO OUR PROBLEM AND OUR SITUATIONS TO SEE HOW MUCH MORE YOU ARE HURTING THAN I AM,. OR IS OUR HEARTS SO FULL OF OUR OWN SITUATIONS, CIRCUMSTANCES, AND PROBLEMS, THAT WE DO NOT REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU, OR WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH, WE JUST WANT TO HEAR SOMEONE ELSES SAD TALE OF WOE., TO MAKE…
