At sundown of that same day, thirteen men met to celebrate the Passover in a great gray hall, in an upper room in a house on Mount Zion, in the northeast corner of Jerusalem. In the tall-roofed chamber, with heavy beams holding up the ceiling, the only furnishings were rattan divans and a long oaken table, on which tall candles were burning.  The flickering flames played upon the sturdy…

Though, as a sinner, the apostle could only rejoice and glory in Christ Jesus, yet, as a believer, he might rejoice and glory in being really what he professed. Conscience witnesses concerning the steady course and tenor of the life. Thereby we may judge ourselves, and not by this or by that single act. Our conversation will be well ordered, when we live and act under such a gracious principle in the heart. Having this, we may leave our characters in the Lord's hands, but using proper means…

We are encouraged to come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. The Lord is able to give peace to the troubled conscience, and to calm the raging passions of the soul. These blessings are given by him, as the Father of his redeemed family. It is our Saviour who says, Let not your heart be troubled. All comforts come from God, and our sweetest comforts are in him. He speaks peace to souls by granting the free remission of sins; and he…

For just one day, I'd like to see

a tour of God's throne room and His glassy sea.

Or perhaps to take a leisurely stroll

among heavenly streets made from purest gold.

Maybe I'd glimpse the pearly gates,

to find out who is really standing in wait.

Another option would be to find

the stately mansion that's eventually mine.

But seeing the Savior from afar

and observing the glory of the Morning Star,

would focus my attention solely on Him

and stir my…

Oh, my Lord...



Once again I'm dirty with sin.

I need to cleanse my fallen mind

with the beauty of your Word.



My desire is turned towards You -

Yet my flesh remains weak,

reflecting  a lack of discipline.



Please chastise me, your child

and spare not your rod of correction.

Cover me with your forgiveness and grace

as I begin anew each day, trying to mature.



Oh, my Lord... please cleanse me.

The compassionate Christ

paid the price

by making himself

the ultimate sacrifice

to make things right

so that we can have

eternal life.

Worship is not just for Sunday morning in church

Worship should begin before we get to church

Worship is for every day and not only for sunday

Worship is not only when we the sing the songs

or raise our hands

We worship in all that we do and say

Wherever we are there should be the spirit

of worship

Worship is acknowledging God for who He is

and He is worthy of our worship and praise

Worship is the Christian life style…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you so much for all the good things You have done for me! Help me always to have a thankful and grateful heart, even when I do not see an immediate answer to my prayers. I know You will never leave me nor forsake me. Lord, give me a servant's heart so that I might always be willing to serve others. Lord, also help me to be humble enough to ask for help when I need it. Lord, may all of Your children have generous and giving hearts so that we might change the…

It is Passover time, so the city is teeming with people.  All Jewish males over the age of 12 are required to come for the festival, which is followed by a seven-day celebration called the Festival of Unleavened Bread—two celebrations.  [Jews from all over the Roman Empire converge on Jerusalem to celebrate these most important…

Matt 14:24-33 24 Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves. 25 About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. 26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!” 27 But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” He said.…

Dear Heavenly Father, I am grateful for all the times Your hand of protection has been over me and my family. Thank you for watching over us. Lord, help me to keep my thoughts on good things and take those things out of my heart that are not like You. Forgive me when I dwell on wrong thoughts and I fail to resist the devil immediately. I do want a clean heart and a pure mind. Help me to resist the evil that is in this world. Lord, I pray for all the Christian parents who are raising…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for my good and wonderful husband. Help me to be the kind of wife that will always bring honor to him and to You. Lord, help me to guard my mouth and speak edifying things in his presence. Forgive me, as sometimes in my frustration with my problems, I air them in the wrong way to my husband. I know he kindly listens to me, but help me not to speak things that should just be taken to You in prayer. Lord, I pray for all marriages in the body of Christ today…

For some time now I have been trying to heal my broken heart. It has been about five months now sense I found out that my husband of 14 has been cheating. He has not shown any signs that he is willing to save our marriage and the only thing that he has said is that I should get use to it he is not ending his affair and I tried to leave that I would not be able to force him to support me and our three children. I have been praying that God softens his heart and opens his eyes to see that his…

Dear Heavenly Father, I am thankful for Your love and the favor that You have given me. I do thank You when You have corrected me, even though it was not pleasant, as I know You love me enough not to allow the enemy to destroy me. Please continue to do Your work in my heart, as I do want to become like You, and I want You to remove those things that offend You. Forgive me when I fail You. I am grateful that I can call on Your mercy and grace when I am in trouble, and that You hear me and…

IMPARTATION BY THE ANCIENT ONES

Then another voice spoke. “Do you trust God?”

“I do,” I answered, turning to look at one of the twenty-four ancient ones around the throne.

“Come here,” he said. He put his hand upon one of the golden medallions on the chain and spoke with great authority and solemnity: “All the gifts and graces given to me, I now impart to you.” Then he…

Start the Day right

Lord, I thank You for the gift of today. This is the day that You have made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it. Thank You Lord, that Your mercy and grace are new every morning.

I rejoice because I am Your child. I have been filled with Your Spirit. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. Lord, You are bigger than any problem, obstacle, calamity, or…
