Are you having a hard time spending time with the Lord?

Do you sometimes find it difficult to motivate yourself to spend time with the Lord? When we think about that, it really doesn't make sense. God has all the power and all the wisdom that we could ever need. Why do we go and ask other people what to do about a situation when we should be asking the one who knows everything. I think some of it is because when we talk to another person, they are right in front of us. We can see them, hear them, and touch them. It doesn't take any faith to talk… Continue

The Power of Your Words.

Have you ever really listened to the words you speak? When I was first learning how important my thoughts and words were to my life, I started listening to what I was speaking. At the time I was working on my thoughts trying not to allow any negative ones in my mind, but while I was working on that I started noticing all the negative things I was speaking.

The words didn't seem like much, but as I kept track it really accumulated. They were just small things like "traffic is going… Continue

See-saws!!

I used to love them as a kid ... just as long as you had someone to see-saw with, and just as long as it wasn't a mean kid, who'd jump off when you were in mid-air!!

But, as a grown-up, I've discovered that see-saws aren't that much fun... well, the ones I've tried lately haven't been.

I'm talking about the see-saws of indecision, and not knowing really what the Lord wants us to do. Most of it has been related to finance, and I know many are in the same spot. Making right… Continue

Please God, Live in my Heart!

On the day after Christmas of 2008 I was in my office working on teachings for the prophetic for my web site concerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit. As I completed the work I was meditating on the wonderful gift of God. I was thinking of how that the Spirit of God in the Greek is “pneuma” which means “breath” The Spirit of God is the breath of God. God is an eternal being and He continues to breathe His Spirit of life into our lives on a daily basis. To be baptized in the Spirit of God is a… Continue

My Wishes for You This Christmas!

I AM

For Christmas and 2009 I wish you the Power of the Name of Jesus!

To Moses at the burning bush, God revealed His Name: I AM (Ex. 3: 14) He is the God of Now: He is ever present. He forgives the past, He will guide you through the future, but He is concerned with who you are and what you are going through right now!

As a Child Of The Most High God, I Can Say With Confidence:

I AM - A Child of God (Rom. 8:16)

I AM - Redeemed from the Hand of the… Continue

Seven Essential Components of Overcoming Faith

Would you like to have an extra dose of faith to overcome the situation you are in right now? Often people will say they wish they had the faith of a great healer or evangelist.

But, Jesus says that everyone has been given the measure of faith (Rom. 12: 3), and all that you need is faith the size of a mustard seed! (Mat. 17: 20) Why then, is it so hard to get your prayers answered, while others seem to have little or no problem?

First of all, being a person of faith and… Continue

What Do You Do When Fear Overpowers You?

I had a frightened call from Debbie yesterday. She was

totally beside herself. She had just gotten off the bus and

was at a physical as well as spiritual crossroads. She was

totally consumed with fear, crying and shaking

uncontrollably.

Someone involved in occult practices had threatened that,

if she did not follow through on a tentative promise she

had made, there would be consequences. Debbie, who had

recently accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her… Continue

Repent or Perish

Repent - (The School of Hard Nots - 3)

(LUKE 5:32) > I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance [KJ]

(ACTS 3:13) > Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the… Continue

Arrested for Being a Christian

Arrested For Being A Christian

If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you? I heard this on the radio yesterday and it plunged me into deep thought. Would there be enough evidence to convict me? And to what degree would I be convicted? Would there be enough evidence to convict me of "first degree Christianity", second degree, or maybe a misdemeanor charge? If the Holy Spirit was the prosecuting attorney, seeing all_knowing all that we do in… Continue

Step Into the Light

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

John 3:16-30 [The Message]

16-18 "This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust… Continue

"Be still and Know that I am God"

"Be still and Know that I am God"

I was raised in a home where there was little stillness. Actually, there was no stillness. There was anxiety, fervor, tension, and always the answer to problems was to do more, to scurry faster when things were not going right. The way of doing things was to react, sharply, to negative situations.

For twenty years now as a Christian, I have been learning from Christ and his word how to un-learn that pattern. But, the things we learn in… Continue

Does God Answer our Prayer?

Does God Answer our prayer?

God tells us to give our concerns to him. Even as the situation remains dismal, "Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you."12 The circumstances may look out of control, but they aren't. When the whole world seems to be falling apart, God can keep us together. This is when a person can be very grateful that they know God. "The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests… Continue

FACING HUMAN NATURE ISN'T ALWAYS EASY <a href="http://www.christianglitter.com"><img src="http://off1.picsrc.net/images/chrglt/profileExtras/iLoveJesusWhiteBlinkie.gif" border="0"/></a><br/><a href="h

Even though I have been subjected throughout life to the darker side of human nature, it still never ceases to stun, shock, hurt, amaze, bewilder and frighten me. We are all human. We are all capable of hurting one another in very deep and permanent ways. It is through the grace of God that I am promised eternal life and through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, I am able to resist some pretty ugly things.

Today, I was faced with a challenge that sadly I have had to deal with a lot… Continue
