I was brought up to follow Christ

The Greatness of God:Lord, God of the heavenly powers, what can be compared with You? You alone deserve the adoration of heaven and earth, for You alone are great, always great, great in everything that exists. You are great in all Your works, in the smallest no less than in the most striking, in the flowers of the field no less than in the stars of heaven. You are great in wisdom, power, justice, and goodness. Our great God, who can ever speak worthily of Your…

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth

Psalms 119:9-16

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth - The law which had already been written by Moses, and from which he and the people were to take all those precepts by which their lives were to be governed. Though there was a copy of the law laid up in the sanctuary, yet this was not sufficient. Joshua must have a copy for himself, and he was…

I was brought up to follow Christ

"The people who sit in darkness have seen a great light." Isaiah and Matthew knew the power of light shining in darkness, but for them, it wasn't the sun. It was the Word of God piercing a world in which power and greed seemed rampant, that Word becoming incarnate in Jesus, calling all to conversion.

I don't think it's an accident that Matthew recalls the words of Isaiah just before he records the call of the disciples. Perhaps light is what Peter, Andrew, James, and John saw when…

The Duke and the Girl from Kentucky. Long Beach.

The Duke and the Girl from Kentucky. Long Beach.

Perhaps you’ve noticed that no two days are the same with the prayer and teaching ministry to the street people of Long Beach. We are building quite a rapport – they are getting used to me and trusting me, and I am learning about the street life, and developing quite a passion for it.

The stories are at once fascinating and also tragic. Take it from me: no one would willingly choose to live on the street—that is, unless…

Trusting Jesus through testing!

Learning how to trust the Lord through the time of testing of his word. Have you been in a situation were you were going through a trying time. And your eye keeps looking at the word of God, to keep you in the light. As the word of God says in Psalm 119:105- Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. But the more you keeping focusing on God's word .

The more your problem keeps getting worse.But hey friends what if that difficulty was meant to straighten your faith. God…

Thirst

Are we not all feeling a strong desire or need for something else?

Time after time have our actions or thoughts not quenched our need for something? How long will we be moved by our thirst? How long will we bend and how loud will we bellow? Day after day what words will we let spill of our tongues. Just so the thirst is quenched. But after… Are we not still thirsty?

The word says

John 4:14 - But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst;…

Miracles Among Us. Ministry on the street.

Hydro, Tex, Enhancer, Reggie and the Duke of Earl – all street names, but all people I came to love and pray for regularly. Of all the Long Beach street people profiled, the Duke of Earl captured the hearts of folks the most. You will remember that my first impressions of him could be categorized as apprehensive at best. The reason I first noticed him was because of his big intimidating presence and his cold, dark eyes. All of that has changed.

Several weeks ago, the Duke said, “I am…

Our Lives Are Letters

OUR LIVES ARE LETTERS

by David Wilkerson

Spending time in the presence of the Lord produces a manifestation of Christ to a lost world.

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not. But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight…

The Lord Is There

“THE LORD IS THERE”

by David Wilkerson

To be a member of God’s true Church, you must be known by the name of Jehovah Shammah—Hebrew for “The Lord is there” (Ezekiel 48:35). Others must be able to say of you, “It’s clear to me that the Lord is with this person. Every time I see him, I sense the presence of the Lord. His life truly reflects the glory and presence of God.”

If we are honest, we must admit we do not sense the Lord’s…

1 Peter 5:10 - Devotion by Charles H. Spurgeon

“After that ye have suffered awhile, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”

- 1Pe_5:10

You have seen the arch of heaven as it spans the plain: glorious are its colours, and rare its hues. It is beautiful, but, alas, it passes away, and lo, it is not. The fair colours give way to the fleecy clouds, and the sky is no longer brilliant with the tints of heaven. It is not established. How can it be? A glorious show made up of transitory sun-beams and passing…

salt

Matthew 5:13-16King James Version (KJV)

13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Who of use will be the unsalted? Who of use shall lose the flavor and be good for nothing but to be cast aside and trampled by men. Who among us will stand ready? If men declare themselves the salt then how will you remain so. Know…

Are you an Entrepreneur? Long Beach.

‘Seems I barely get home from Long Beach and I am missing being with my people, and I begin to ask God for the next week’s message. ‘There’s something more . . . I just know there is . . . at least, there ought to be,’ I was thinking at the start of this last week. I was feeling unsettled inside.

‘Lord, show me why I feel this way about Long Beach,’ I prayed. You see,

I have learned that when God stirs the waters in ministry, it usually means he is about to give…
