RESTORING THE ROMANCE IN MIRRAGE

Restoring the Romance

Revelation 2:1-2:5

RESTORING THE ROMANCE

Well, why don’t you treat me like you used to do? How come you treat me like a worn out shoe?

My hair’s still curly and my eyes are still blue.

Why don’t you love me like you used to do?

Why don’t you spark me like you used to do?

And say sweet nothings like you used to do?

I’m the same old trouble that you’ve always been through,

So, why don’t you love me like you… Continue

Absolution

From My Perspective - - -

Most were able to view many hours of the Senator Edward M. Kennedy Funeral events this past week. There were some very human and touching moments as different family members shared their recollections and vignettes of the many happy experiences they shared together.

The ABC-TV Boston Affiliate shared the following report prepared by Veronica Haynes, Senior News Editor: “…Kennedy's friend, retired Washington Archbishop Cardinal Theodore… Continue

Pursuing The One True God

We pursue God because we are pursued by Him. We aren’t thrown to the wind by Him to see if we can find out way Home alone. He pursues us. He draws us. Even as we seek Him, He is the One in control.

Jesus says that no one comes to Him unless the Father draws him. Each step of the way, each time I wistfully looked farther down the road hungering for a Reality that I was so sure of and yet so unclear about, He was there guiding me, drawing me, pursuing me in my pursuit of… Continue

SHINE FORTH

For as long as I can remember, the calling of our Father has been upon mine, and my wifes heart. Four years ago the Lord moved, and led us to start establishing His Ministry. It was to be, and is a ministry annointed by our Father to unite His church, and to bring His children home. After much planning and in our Father's timing, approximately one year ago, Forthknight Ministries was physically established. However, I write to you not to expound on the… Continue

MOURNING TURNED TO DANCING

Psalms 30:11-12 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

This is one of my favorite promises in the Bible – that God turns mourning into dancing! He takes away the anguish of being clothed in sadness and replaces it with gladness. However, notice what God doesn’t do – simply stop your… Continue

Word from Yahavah August 29, 2009

My children hear my voice ,repent for the time is now for you to come out and worship me in spirit and truth. The time is now to stop following after other gods, for I AM THAT I AM and I will not share my glory with no man. Do not focus on what man is doing but on what you have been told to do. Come out from among them and be ye separate for I have called and chosen you for this time. My coming is soon and the harvest is ready. Yes, you must pray and uplift each other, but you must call and… Continue

Pure Apostolic Calling

PURE APOSTOLIC CALLING

By Lahry Sibley

God never changes, and the way in which He interacts and relates with us never changes. Instead, the influence the world has on the church lends us to perceive that various trends in mainstream Christianity are somehow acceptable or supposedly reflect the heart and intent of God.

But if we have not understood God as God, as Who He in fact is, then we will never apprehend the ultimate purposes and callings for the church. We will… Continue

GET A GRIP ON YOUR MIND FOR WHAT'S AHEAD!

"Whoever or whatever controls a person's mind ultimately has the power to dictate the affairs and outcome of that person's life. Thus, if a person allows his mind to be doused with panic or fear, he is putting fear in charge of his life. Because Paul wanted his readers to remain in peace regardless of the tumultuous events that transpired around them, he urged them not to allow fear from these shocking and distressful events to penetrate their minds, will, and emotions." - Rick… Continue

Jesus Went to Hell

JESUS WENT TO HELL

By C.R. Stierstorfer

We all know Jesus was a man who walked among us.

But he claimed to be God…most didn’t believe him.

When it was time to do what no one but God could do, He went to the garden to pray, to

Ask perchance if there was another way…(matthew 26:36)

But as He knelt in the garden; He saw you there!

As He dreamed of the day when we will be where He is; He saw you there!

He couldn’t back down; because He saw you… Continue

Knowing The One True God

I grew up with a false view of God. I ended up drawing all over the page in my quest to understand Who God is and what He demands before I found my straight line. As a teenager, I pursued the “God” that I had grown up with. I was desperately afraid of this “God”. He was big and scary and seemed to be ready to “whap” me at the first misstep. I found it easier to hide myself away in music or books rather than learn about him. As a result, although I knew a lot of Scripture, I was spiritually a… Continue

SET THE STANDARD...

John 13: 34,35

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another"

"By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

Kingdom Dynamics : Love the testing of dicipleship:(Spirit filled life Bible p1601)

That Christ would command us to love indicates that love in not just a feeling or a preference. It is what one does and how he relates to others: a decision, a commitment, or a way… Continue

PRUDENCE IN ACTION

The Fourth Chapter

PRUDENCE IN ACTION

DO NOT yield to every impulse and suggestion but consider things carefully and patiently in the light of God's will. For very often, sad to say, we are so weak that we believe and speak evil of others rather than good. Perfect men, however, do not readily believe every talebearer, because they know that human frailty is prone to evil and is likely to appear in speech.…

The wrath of God is not for you

God will never direct His wrath at you.

That statement may shock you. You may be thinking, “Then why do I hear preachers harping about judgment and God’s wrath on America’s sin?” Well, they’re wrong. The Word of God says that Jesus Christ took God’s wrath for all sins for all people who have ever lived or will live upon Himself. Specifically, the Bible says, But God demonstrates His love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now… Continue

READING THE HOLY SCRIPTURE

The Fifth Chapter

READING THE HOLY SCRIPTURE

TRUTH, not eloquence, is to be sought in reading the Holy Scriptures; and every

part must be read in the spirit in which it was written. For in the Scriptures we ought to

seek profit rather than polished diction.

Likewise we ought to read simple and devout books as willingly as learned and

profound ones. We ought not to be swayed by the authority of the writer, whether he be

a… Continue

Entertain Me

Corinthians 10: 31, “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”

“If any occupation or association is found to hinder our communion with God or our enjoyment of spiritual things, then it must be abandoned. Beware of ‘leprosy’ in the garment. (Lev. 13:47) Anything in my habits or ways which mars happy fellowship with the brethren or robs me of power in service, is to be unsparingly judged and made an end of— ‘burned.’ (Lev.13:52) Whatever I… Continue

ARE YOU WILLING TO WAIT FOR GOD TO EXALT YOU?

Job 36:22 tells us - "Behold, God exalteth by His power..." 1 Peter 5:6 informs us that God has a proper time - a "due time" - when He exalts the humble.

So many are running ahead of God's "best" time and exalting themselves. Hence, they are not properly prepared and oftentimes end up falling flat on their faces.

What will it be for you? Are you in a hurry to be in the "limelight" ? Or will you wait for God's fit time to promote you?

In Job 7:17, Job inquired -… Continue

21 MEMOS FROM YOUR CHILD!

PLEASE

DON'T.......

1..... spoil me. I know quite well that I ought not to have all that I ask for. I'm only testing you.

2..... be afraid to be firm with me. I prefer it, it makes me feel more secure.

3..... let me form bad habits. I have to rely on you to detect them in the early stages.

4..... make me feel smaller than I am. It only makes me behave stupidly "big."

5..... correct me in front of people if you can help it. I'll take much more notice if you talk… Continue

Religion kills

God is not in a bad mood.

He not only loves you-He likes you. He is in a good mood because of you. Religious teaching tells many people that God tolerates born-again believers because He’s required to, because He wouldn’t be a good God if He didn’t have mercy on you. That is retarded. God gives you rest. Religion gives you work. Religion is only following a bunch of rules to make yourself right. Ask yourself whose standard you’re trying to attain. Are you soothing your own… Continue
