A LITTLE ONE HAS BECOME A THOUSAND

This message is prophetic. It applies to all those who has been going through a time of great barrenness in their spiritual walk with the Lord or in their ministry.

For the longest time, you may have felt the chastening hand of the Lord - stripping away at your life - so to speak - causing great self-judgment and examination. At times, things - that have happened - did not make any sense whatsoever. You have cried out unceasingly for answers from the Lord.

It seems as… Continue

Everything to Christ in Prayer....

Good day to you, my friend... I am so grateful to share with you how great is our God!!!!

Let us grasp how wide and long and high and deep the love of God is. God's love endures forever (Psalm 118:1). The earth is filled with God's love (Psalm 119:64). His love is even better than life (Psalm 63:3) and surpasses knowledge (Ephesians 3:18).

"Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth,… Continue

New Generation: Train them to be Prayer Warriors...

Teaching children to pray is a vital part of passing on our faith. Hebrews 4:16 reminds us that Christians can "come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." It's important that our children learn that they can also go to God, our loving Father, who is there to help and strengthen them. He wants them to build a relationship with Him through prayer as well as Bible study. Children learn in many ways. One of the most… Continue

Why Did Jesus Christ Come Into The World ?

THE REFORMED WITNESS HOUR

The Purpose for Jesus' Coming (1) To Call Sinners to Repentance (Luke 5:27-32)

Rev. Carl Haak

You and I must never underestimate man's ability to distort and confuse the most plain words written in the Bible. Surely there is no question more repeatedly and clearly answered in the Bible than this question: Why did Jesus, the Son of God, come into the world? Hundreds of passages directly and clearly give the answer. I Timothy 1:15,… Continue

The Heart Cry

"Is it true the heart doth cry".

"I hope it is" said dry eye.

"I often hear it's desperate plea",

was the response from bended knee.

Again. the mind surprised by this,

"what cause has brought such amiss".

And then the lips said "hold on there, …

Heterodoxy

In the New Testament, Paul once took the Greek word translated "to teach" (didaskalia) and added the word heteros, which means "of a different kind." The English word heterodoxy means something that is the opposite of orthodoxy. The combination of those two Greek words refered to teaching heresy. I know most of you are aware that, not everyone that talks about God is serving Him nor His people's best interests. We have many warnings about deceivers entering the… Continue

Please Forgive me,

Hello again! I am so happy to see how much my brothers and sisters in Lord Jesus love me! I want to be able to reply to everyone that has come to respond to my cry for help. Thank you.

I still feel that heavy feeling that I am not cared for, or that my thoughts have caused God to be away from me....I understand these feelings are not connected to reality....but why do I still feel so strongly?

I decided to do more research, but then I found a sentence that bothered me,… Continue

WITH GROANINGS WHICH CANNOT BE UTTERED

"He (God) takes the meaning of our tears, The language of our groans." - Charles Spurgeon

In praying, words may be sincere and truthful, yet they may not be able to express the full meaning of the supplicant. That is when the soul reaches out to a language that is unutterable - consisting of unuttered groanings, voiceless moanings, silent musings, and inward mournings. These are expressions that are more than the one praying can express or explain in ordinary language. They are the… Continue

God's Word For You Today: Repent!

I stumbled upon The Daily Spurgeon Website today and what I dig is a precious digest of a sermon by Charles H Spurgeon entitled "Apostolic Exhortation." I have quoted in its entirety in order not to miss every single nugget of wisdom from this great man popularly known as the "Prince of Preachers." In a written authobiography, it stated that in his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around 10 million people often up to 10 times each week at different places.

The digest speaks about… Continue

TAKE METO THE WINE CELLAR...

Your affections are like a flask of the strongest wine, it intoxicates me as I drink of your love. Your presence is heady, like the aroma of myrrh and spices, take me away with you my lover, take me into your chambers and let us take our fill of love till the morning light! Let the King ravish his own, with Kisses of Passion that fill the heart with fire unquenchable. Let this heart “burn” with such a heated passion it threatens to be consume me to ashes and dust, till there is nothing left but… Continue

Daily Warfare

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all,… Continue

No man has ever seen, heard or even imagined the wonderful things God has in store for those who love the Lord (I Corinthians 2:9)

No matter where you are in life right now, God has much more in store for you. God wants to take you to new levels in every area of your life. He wants to give you more wisdom so you can make better decisions. He wants to give you a stronger anointing so you can have greater influence. He wants to bless you financially so you can be a blessing to others. Don't get stuck in the same old rut - there is so much more to life! God has new frontiers for you to explore and higher mountains to climb! I… Continue

Christmas gift ~ for your consideration

CHRISTMAS GIFT for your consideration. 12.3.09

Good Day~

Today it feels like winter outside—at least as winter-y as Southern California gets.

The calendar page has been flipped from November to December; my tree has already been up a week, covered in beautiful white lights, and Sarah Machlachlan is crooning “What Child is This?” on my kitchen CD player. ‘Love this time of year. Last week or so, I mentioned giving a gift to the Christ Child, contemplating what that… Continue

The Freedom to Enjoy God

Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:3-4

The gospel writers spoke about children coming to Jesus, giving the impression that the young were very comfortable around Him (Matthew 18:2-3). Some probably climbed onto His lap, while others perhaps sat at His feet. We can picture them asking Him lots of questions,… Continue

1 Thessalonians 5.23-28

“May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this.

Beloved, pray for us.

Greet all the brothers and sisters with a holy kiss.

Jesus, please be with Me Always

Hello once more, my dear brothers and sisters in my Lord Jesus Christ. I have posted before that I do suffer from depression and OCD, both give me hollow feelings and plague me with intrusive thoughts and excessive worries, especially about God and Jesus, and my connection with them....

There has been one word that has kept popping into my mind, and has caused me much stress and to pray over and over for forgiveness for that.... That word would be "no". I have feared it meant like… Continue

The Canopy of God's Love

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

When we're in pain, we may question whether God cares or even knows what we're going through. Our difficult circumstances can give us a wrong view of Him. Scripture teaches that our three-in-one God is omniscient and omnipresent. In other words, He knows all things and is everywhere. No actions or persons are hidden from His sight. The past, present, and future are all laid… Continue

Lessons for Living ~ 1 Thessalonians 5.12-22

LESSONS FOR LIVING~ a summary ~ 1 Thessalonians 5.12-22

Good Day!

Paul is wrapping up his letter to the Thessalonians, and he summarizes proper behavior, which can almost be divided into areas of responsible living. (In the following, the Scripture will be underlined, and the explanation will follow it.)

Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love… Continue
