Freedom from Bondage is Your Choice

Many Christians wait on the Lord to drop the answer to their prayers out of the sky, and when it doesn't happen, they say God has forgotten them. But that is not the case. For the truth about God's love for us, we have to look at our choices.

God gave us free will. It is our choice to follow God's commandments, and when we do, we prosper and live under God's protection. Proverbs 10:22 tells us that, The blessings of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it. On the… Continue

GOD'S CHOICE OF FRUIT BEARERS

GOD’S CHOICE OF FRUIT BEARERS

Jesus said, “You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and

ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit and that your

fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My

Name, He may give it to you.”

John 15: 16

Beloved, look at this for a choice! Look again at the verse of Scripture:

you have been chosen and…

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

Dear Brothers and sisters in Christ,

I have received a prayer request today to lift someone in prayer right now who is considering suicide as an easier way out at this very moment.I am withholding names at request as well in order to respect this persons privacy. Can we lift all those who's lives are so in turmoil that this extreme measure that enters their minds and souls seems to be the only answer to their troubles.

Dear Heavenly Father, as we rejoice in Your Holy…

A Place Where Broken People Get Healed,

Some Christians are often insecure about their own spiritual shortcomings. Why? For one thing, in too many of our biggest and most visible churches, we see role models who appear to have everything. These prosperity gospel preachers smile all the time and talk about how God wants to prosper us,… Continue

You Are Called To Testify

Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brethren, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.= James 3:1 = ,. Did you know that not all disciples are teachers.. But all of them are WITNESSES. s ,Do not put your self above others. Encourage one another and comfort those in any troubles. And most of all, be a witness, TESTIFY,,,, HE gave nothing but blessing, HE sent us nothing but angels. Like in Romans 8:28 all things work together for good to those who love God.… Continue

PSALM 123 DEVOTIONAL-HEART OF CONTEMPT

Very recently, I was faced with a situation where right on the spot I had to deal with contempt and the lies of satan. I tried my best to smooth out the situation and get to the root of the problem and I must admit there was a bit of contempt starting to breed in my own heart. I will be quite honest here, personally I like to nip things in the bud before they get out of hand and yes, I can indeed be very quick to cut to the chase. Some folks don’t like that much and I need to be a little more… Continue

Becoming Whole in Body, Soul and Spirit

Many times when we surrender our life to the Lord, we are fragmented in our soul with pieces of our life scattered here and there. The power of scattering is linked with a curse that has right because of sin and iniquity in our life. When we sin, pieces of the person God intends for us to be are left behind connected to the time we missed the mark and acted in our own strength. We trade purity, blessing, health, and/or a part of God's perfect plan for our lives for a moment when something of… Continue

PSALM 122 DEVOTIONAL-T FOR TWO

Today, I visited God at His house. We had T together, just He and I and wow, I have heard about the comforting affects of Chamomile tea but God has much better T than that. God not only comforted me with that T but He refuelled this child with HIS strength. Now peace is within these walls and within the walls of my soul. All because I went to God’s house and had His very own brand of T. The T that stands for TRUTH!! THANKYOU GOD, and thank you for the LIFETIME SUPPLY!! ALL GLORY TO YOU…

Never Cease To HOPE

I'm not a veteran Christian, but I'm a deep thinker. I'm a young adult who has many questions, yet has experienced so much. I've been told many times that my story is inspirational, so I've decided I'm going to share it, from beginning to end, in parts, and pray that I will reach someone and they can say "Wow you went through that? Then surely I can" because my family, you CAN. Although I'm a deep thinker, I also have an odd sense of humour, bear with me.

I was born in 88…

PART 1 “Walking in Humility”

(James 3:13-18 NKJV) Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. {14} But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. {15} This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. {16} For…

Are you a passive or aggressive Christian?

Now, I say aggressive in the sense that you stand up for what you believe in.

Let's jump into a scenario... you're with your friends who aren't necessarily the closest to God. They start to act in ways that make you uncomfortable, talk about sinful things, and maybe even show you things you shouldn't be seeing.

Now, the question is, are you going to step up and say something or allow them to be themselves because they're your friends?

I can't imagine that being… Continue
