Resurrected

I was dead 6 months ago. Spiritually dead. No pulse, no breath, no life. Through the miracle of grace, I have been resurrected.

I have nothing to offer in a worldly sense. Nothing. All I have to give in return is my soul. And He's happy to have me back :)

I have laid down my life of my own accord. And found… Continue

Mysteries of His Heart

"God doesn't just share the mysteries of His heart with just anyone.....

He shares them with those whom He's found trustworthy..."

When I was 15 years old, I sat on my bedroom floor with a loaded gun in my mouth and slowly began squeezing the trigger. My cat walked in and gave me the look and I couldn't do it. Not in front of him. So I decided that I had to stop praying each night for God to just let me die and I needed to do something different. So that night I… Continue

You are worthy

When it comes to the major-league difficulties like death, disease, sin and disaster--you know that God cares.

But what about the smaller things? What about grouchy bosses or flat tires or lost dogs? What about broken dishes, late flights, toothaches, or a crashed hard disk? Do these matter to God?

I mean He's got a universe to run. He's got the planets to keep balanced and presidents and kings to watch over. He's got wars to worry with and famines to fix. Who am I to tell… Continue

A Bible Study on the Rapture Doctrine in John Chapter 20

Howdy Everyone! Well, at this point, I have shown you Matthew 24:31 and Matthew 19:30. And, All of these verses of Scripture illustrate 1 Week of separation between the Feast of Trumpets and the Feast of the Great Day of Atonement which are 2 Feasts of the Lord found in Leviticus Chapter 23. .

So, Let us take a look at yet another example of 1 Week separation by Jesus Christ himself. What Christ does here is so powerful, that if there is still any doubt about the validity of the Pre… Continue

A Bible Study on the Rapture Doctrine in Matthew 19:30

Howdy Everyone! The Pre Tribulation Rapture Doctrine is a very detailed study of God's Holy Word. God has a language all of his own and Christians must understand God's language to interpret Bible Prophecy in the New Testament.

The Bible says in Jeremiah 9:24, That we can know and understand God. God wants all of us to know Him and to understand His ways. The only way to do that is to study as 2 Timothy 2:15 directs us to do and by putting on the mind of Christ. See Philippians… Continue

Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

In order to understand Matthew 24:31, A good understanding of the Seed Covenant of Abraham is essential. Someone might… Continue

THE POWER OF “NOTHING” PART 2 ____ NOTHING TO LOOSE

Pride is a big problem for many people. When our self-esteem and reputation are at stake, we will do anything to keep it. Having pride is in contradiction with the character of Jesus. He said

"Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done. (Luke 22:42 Amplified Bible).

Jesus showed that He had no fear in losing something or having something taken from Him because He knew that all things He had, were given to Him by God the… Continue

Isaiah 58:13,14 - Matthew Henry Commentary

Matthew Henry’s commentary on Isaiah 58:13,14

I make no secret of being “Sabbatarian”. I don’t attempt to cram it down the throats of others. But I am not ashamed of the Word of God, make no excuses for it and joyfully proclaim it gladly.

Isaiah 58 to me is one of the most intriguing texts in all the Bible. It clearly proclaims the heart of God and His will for His children on how we go about loving God and loving our neighbor as ourselves. He shares with us our exercise… Continue

Smile - a poem

Smile:

Smile still in dim of day as proof that not a mound on high can capture your joy away;

When skys look troublesome to your sight, remember the guise of a deceitful plight, because hidden schemes are more distructive;

Deliver your steps unto the path a’straight, for they’ll maintain a way your rescue; whereas phony paths shall display only to foreshow you a’baffle;

And pardon the patron who fails to pray; award him your blessings in response of treason,… Continue

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20

When I start my day, the one event I am most excited about is my next Talk. I do not spend my time preparing an entry about what I think. No, I share what God speaks to my heart and teaches me. You are called to do the same for people in your… Continue

HEART TROUBLES

HEART TROUBLES

(John 14:1)

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.”

We are not surprised that the apostles were troubled. After all, Jesus had announces that one of them was a traitor, and then He warned Peter that he was going to deny his Lord three times, self-confident. Peter was certain that he could not only follow his Lord, but even die with Him and for Him. Alas, Peter did not know his own heart, nor do we really know our hearts,… Continue

BLESSING OF GRACE

BLESSING OF GRACE

(Colossians 4:6)

“Let your speech be always with Grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.”

Never underestimate the power of speech. A judge says a few words, and a men’s life is saved or condemned. A doctor speaks a few words, and patient either rejoices ecstatically or gives up in despair. Whether the communication is oral or written, there is great power in words.

The power of speech is a gift from God, and it must be… Continue

THE UNDEVOURABLE....THIS IS GOOD...

Be Numbered Among The Undevourable

1 Peter 5:8

8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

The devil cannot just walk right up to you and rob you of your health, peace or family. He cannot just come into your life to enforce disease and destruction.

If the devil can do that, then he does not have to walk about “seeking whom he may devour”. He only has to walk straight up… Continue
