In Facing our Adversity .....What does it means to be complete? A Life to Live to the Fullest....(Part 8)

We want to be spiritually grown, but we don't like growing because growing hurts.

Growing can be painful. For example, some children have "growing pains" because of their rapid growth.

This can also be true spiritually. Specifically, God may stretch you by putting uncomfortable circumstances in your life. Why? He uses the hard times to stretch your faith, your patience, and your love. This stretching is what causes growth: "For our light… Continue

This might offend you - not for the faint of heart

On spiritual growth . . . not for the faint of heart

Good Day.

One other thought keeps creeping in—is there any room?

When I decide to get physically fit, I must make room in my life for exercise and giving attention to proper nutrition . . . and the same thing applies if I want to get spiritually fit. I must make room. I mean, really, you invite God “in” and give him what—a little corner of yourself? ‘Come on in, God, change me, grow me—I’ve given you this little bit of… Continue

WILL 2012 BRING THE END OF THE WORLD????????

Will 2012 Bring the End of the World?

It is claimed that an ancient Mayan calendar mysteriously ends at the winter solstice in the year 2012. Will that mark the end of human history? TV, magazines, major movie studios, booksellers and dozens of Web sites are fanning the 2012 craze. Does Bible prophecy reveal what's really coming?

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Did you know that God will forgive your sins if you believe it and accept it with a little faith? No matter how bad you think your sins are, God is rich in mercy and will forgive you. Let us consider forgiveness.

You can boldly (with confidence) approach the throne of God for His mercy and grace, and you will find that He will grant you full forgiveness for any of your sins. Hebrews 4:16 states:

"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace,… Continue

Know Your Enemy

10 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. Ephesians 6:10-12

Satan does exist—our broken society testifies to his reality. Those who… Continue

FAITH

Roman 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

So then faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the rhema word of the Lord. As 2009 has been a year for many of being repositioned in the Lord and really not understanding fully why or how… Continue

Give Thanks in Every Situation

16 Rejoice always,

17 pray without ceasing,

18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Some verses are easier to memorize than put into practice. If we could simply remove a word or two, God’s commands would seem so much easier to accomplish. Giving thanks is easy, but giving thanks in everything is a nearly impossible task. Often gratitude seems inappropriate, considering the depth of… Continue

Calling 911

These are the notes I used to study for the message of this sermon. I hope you enjoy reading the Bible, this has several passages of scripture.

May God Bless you,

James

Do you make the Devil call 911? Or, Does the Devil make you do the calling?

I. The Devil knows his enemies.

II. Genesis 4:9 “Am I my brother’s keeper”.

III. We CAN make the Devil call 911.

IV. Sometimes we need to call 911 in order to make the Devil call 911.

Key thought: I got… Continue

For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. (2 Corinthians 5:1 NAS)

COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE.......SHARING

Revelation 18:4

(4) Then I heard another voice from heaven say:

"Come out of her, my people,

so that you will not share in her sins,

so that you will not receive any of her plagues;

Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society

This warning is sobering because the course of this world is closer than ever to reaching its anti-God fullness. There has never been a time in the out-working of God's purpose when this advice is… Continue

Profit from the Pain

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil;

My cup runs over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life;

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD

Forever. Psalm 23:5-6

People rarely think of suffering as profitable. But when facing the difficulty and pain of a valley experience, we mature spiritually. We make discoveries about ourselves when trials peel away… Continue

An Appetite for Prayer

AN APPETITE FOR PRAYER . . .

So, let’s see . . . we have purposed to make spiritual growth a priority in our lives, understanding that growth does not happen by osmosis. To choose positive change will require discipline on our part, a commitment to make a daily appointment with God, and then keep it. Truly, growing our relationship with God best happens by spending time in his presence and in his Word, and through communicating with him—i.e., praying! I discussed the life-changing book… Continue

HOW TO BE PERFECT IN OUR GENERATION

Like Noah, we can be perfect in our generation.

We can -

...remain undefiled if we will simply pursue holiness in all that we say and do

...be without blemish if we will fill our hearts and minds with God's Word.

...be upright if we keep ourselves in the love of Jesus.

Genesis 6:9 says - "...Noah was...perfect in his generations..."

That word perfect means "undefiled, without blemish, and upright." So, in other words, we can say that Noah was undefiled… Continue

Winter Gardening

"While the earth remains,

Seedtime and harvest,

And cold and heat,

And summer and winter,

And day and night

Shall not cease."

Genesis 8:22 (NAS)

Many of us see winter as a time to rest from gardening, a time to wait for spring to return before commencing gardening activities again. While our gardens and yards may appear to be in a state of inactivity during winter, there are actually important things taking place all… Continue

Why pray?

WHY PRAY?

Everybody has their own experience with prayer . . . how they do it, why they do it, and what happens when they do. I’m no different. I can’t say prayer has come easily to me—oh sure, the elementary-style prayers of my youth were fine—but the deeper stuff was different.

My deeper trek into the far-reaching regions of prayer began in 2000, when my pastor in Northern California suggested a particular book. He said it would ‘jump-start my prayer life’. He was right. It… Continue
