Love and Obedience

I hope that you will look with me at a short study of the word obedience, maybe a little closer than ever, depending on how much some have studied. Those of you that know me, know that I believe the bible teaches us that love is the most important thing to God. Some would argue that obedience is more important because,... "if you love God, you will obey Him",... and on the latter,... I do agree. I have used Gods' teachings concerning love to argue the case for it's… Continue

Saying the Wrong Things

Saying the Wrong Things

www.kcm.org/real-help/article/saying-wrong-things

by Kenneth Copeland

One of the most natural things we do in life is talk. In fact, long before most of us knew what we were doing, we were learning to talk. We started forming our first words while we were still babies.

But there’s also something very supernatural about our ability to talk.

You and I are the only… Continue

The reason for the Season

I believe in Santa

A Saint in my native tongue eminent for piety

Bearing gifts that uplift

That gives life

Streets dressed with His light

Disguised in suits of red and white

And candy cane, His stripes

Armies for Salvation

Ringing Emanuel’s bells “God is with us”

There is a Santa Claus which states;

That by decking the halls of your heart with His spirit

Releases His Yule tide graces

Warming your winter like Yule logged… Continue

Just pray this simple prayer and mean it and you will be save.

How you can be saved and have eternal life!

Just pray this simple prayer and mean it and you will be save.

"God, I come to you in the name of Jesus, I do not know you personally, but I want to know you. I believe that Your Word, the Bible is true. I repent for hardening my heart toward you, and for indulging in things you hate. I don't want to go to hell; I really want to be free of my sin. Dear God, I ask Jesus to come into my heart and cleanse me of the guilt… Continue

Ready . . . action! 2 Thessalonians 2.13 - 3.5

READY . . . Action! 2 Thessalonians 2.13-3.5

Good Day, Friends.

Everywhere we look in this passage, the verbs steal the action. God made the first move by loving us and choosing us to be his children . . . okay, how great is that? We were not born out of wedlock, so to speak, or by accident, but he deliberately chose us by name to be his children. The other day when we talked about ‘personal brand’, when you thought of the list of synonyms to describe yourself, was… Continue

SEEING OTHERS THROUGH THE EYES OF GOD

by Bob Bushman 12-09

“Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”

“Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

(Hebrews 12:2… Continue

Christmas and a problem

Quite a few people here will go through Christmas without thier significant others. Certainly this will cause pain and anxiety, You may feel totally empty especially if you are by yourself. There is just no easy solution to loneliness and feeling discarded, rejected and defeated. Emotional pain is worse than anyone who has been through it can explain. We also have to recognize that others may have serious health issues and if they are left alone, that has to speak of misery as well as… Continue

Rev Michael Bresciani

Since my articles entitled Prophecy 2008 and Prophecy 2009 were the most read articles of each respective year I have undertaken this piece with much care and forethought. The prophetic message has changed little in the last two years but the country has changed significantly, unfortunately the changes have not all been… Continue

Generosity That Pleases God

Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia: 2 that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded in the riches of their liberality. 3 For I bear witness that according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability, they were freely willing, 4 imploring us with much urgency that we would receive the gift and the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. 5 And not only as we had hoped, but… Continue

THESE ARE THE ONES WHOM GOD CALLS "GREAT"!

In Luke 1, two men are mentioned as being "great." Luke 1:15 says of John the Baptist - "For he shall be great." Luke 1:5 says - "There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea" - commonly known as Herod the Great. John was "great in the sight of the Lord." Herod was "great" in the sight of himself & of his court.

Which was the really great man?

Are you striving to be "great in the sight of men" or "great in the sight of the Lord" ?

"Those are great indeed that… Continue

LORD, FORGIVE AND PROTECT OUR FAMILIES...

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray for a hedge of protection to be around my entire family, home, property, body, mind, and spirit, I also pray this today, not just for my family Lord, but for all that lift this prayer up to You, and I ask that warrior angels sent by the one true God would be placed to stand guard at any holes that might be in that hedge. Holes in the hedge can be caused by yet to be dealt with sin, trauma or wounding in the lives of the people who dwell in the home.… Continue

CHRISTIANS, HANUKKAH IS FOR YOU TOO

CHRISTIANS, HANUKKAH IS FOR YOU, TOO

By: grantswank

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

The Feast of Lights!

It is a Christian celebration. Yes. It is a Jewish feast. Yes.

Yet Christians have ignored their opportunity to celebrate along with the Jews this annual observance. Why? Because Christians think that Hanukkah is solely Jewish. It is not.

It is for both Jews and Christians because its origins… Continue

New Testament

In the old testament the Jews had their own calendars and festivals, etc....when Jesus came he says " Do not think I came to abolish the Laws or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Matthew 5:17 So does that mean some of the festivals like the feast of unleavened bread except the sacrificial ones, are we still suppose to keep these? What about their calendar because it goes off of the verse "And there was evening and there was morning the first day" Genesis 1:5

SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE

We can learn the spirit of excellence from Daniel.

Daniel 5 : 12 ~

For as much as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.

Why Daniel has the spirit of excellence ?

Daniel 1 : 8 ~

Daniel made up his mind not to let himself become ritually… Continue

Crisis in the Church....

WORLDWIDE CRISIS in THE CHURCH

-by Andrew Ström.

I only began to truly understand the magnitude of this crisis on my

recent trip to Uganda. I have ministered in Nigeria many times, but

I had always thought Nigeria was a special case - that the awful

poison I saw there had not spread so far in other places. Uganda

opened my eyes. The whole of Africa is being infected. And I mean

on an epidemic scale. An utter destruction of truth, a… Continue

I asked God

I asked God..

I asked God to do away with my vices

God said no

They are not there for me to take them away. They are there for you to resist them

I asked God to complete my body

God said no

Your spirit is complete, your body is only temporary

I asked God to give me patience

God said no

Patience is a byproduct of difficulties. It is not given but learned

I asked God to give me hapiness

God said no

I give… Continue

What can I give him?

Isaiah 9.6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given...

And He will be called Wonderful Counselor,

Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Merry Christmas, Friends.

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,

Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;

Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,

In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

Our God, heaven… Continue
