Is it God's will for the believer to call Sin a struggle ?

Is it God's will, for the believer to list the works of the flesh as their struggle and then live out that behavior as a life style with the understanding that God is in agreement with their practice? Or is Sin/struggle a transgression against his Holiness that should be stopped immediately

REMEMBER THE JEW!

Are you boasting of privileges that you have when you should be thanking God for them? Are these same privileges causing you to feel superior to others?

Let's examine some of the privileges that the Jews had experienced and see what happens when you take that which God endows and do not use it as He intends.

Romans 2:17-20 says - "Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, And knowest His will, and approvest the things that… Continue

Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons. 1 Samuel 16:5 NKJV

David's seven brothers were each circumcised: a mark of divine ownership. Yet not one of them would fight Goliath. Why? Because:

1) They allowed the fears of those around them to erode their faith. Fear is contagious; if you listen to it long enough you'll get infected. Now, you shouldn't be isolated from the world, but you must be insulated against its negative influences. Listening to Goliath wore David's… Continue

FAITHFUL IN ALL THINGS:

BIBLE MEDITATION:

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that

is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

Luke 16:10

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

There was a man who was going to be made a chief executive. The Board of

Directors talked about it, and it was a "done deal." In the company cafeteria

one day, the existing CEO was behind this man in line. Unbeknownst to the man,

the CEO saw him take a pat of butter that cost… Continue

Praise Report

Greetings In the name of Our Lord God and his wonderful Son Jesus'

Recently I was sent a request to appear in court for a credit card that I could not pay, because of circumstances.

I had no idea what to do, could not afford a laywer, and I barely make just enough to stay above the line. I started not to go out of fear of what they might say. I woke up the morning of court with the words "God has not given you the spirit of fear" in my head. I am not a dress up kind of person, I wear… Continue

Jonah 1: 4

Often times when I speak or teach as that is what basically am a teacher, I try to talk about things that I know and pray will be beneficial to the people of God.

DEBORAH WAS A JUDGE, BUT NOT IN A SENSE EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF OTHNIEL and EHUD

Brother Trevor,

DEBORAH WAS A JUDGE, BUT NOT IN A SENSE EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF OTHNIEL and EHUD

Brother,

You are leading women astray.

Please, do not try to please women but please God.

Indeed, brother Paul said:

“For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.”

Galatians 1:10

Please, quit(leave) feminism and preach only the Word of… Continue

Minority Business - Embracing Technology

“Minority Business”

A New Term For The Digital Age

The term “Minority Business” (a business, regardless of size, which is owned, operated and controlled by minority group members. "Minority group members" are United States citizens who are African-American, Hispanic, Native American, or Asian”) Google.com. This at times is a misnomer in referencing in this digital age where businesses that do not integrate technology and apply the use of technical protocols are going to… Continue

It's In My Interest

IT’S IN MY INTEREST

TEXT: Luke 24: 46, Heb. 2:17

In these last days the enemy is still on an all out rampage to try to get as many people as he can back into his kingdom. We must understand that there are two kingdoms, there is the Kingdom of God, and there is the Kingdom of Satan. Jesus is soon to come, as whatever Satan can do to snatch the saints of God back he will do. The tactic that the enemy is using this time around is the state of the economy. If he can get… Continue

Dreams and the Bible

In the Bible there are constant references to communication between man and God, between man and the angels, and between man and his

higher self through the medium of dreams. The moral standards of the

individual are exactly reflected in the clarity and degree of quality

of his or her dreams.

Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob (favourite) had the ability not only

to remember and interpret his own dreams, but to interpret… Continue

Why Satan Uses Sex

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. (Gen. Chapter 3)

28 But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath… Continue

WAS PHOEBE REALLY A DEACON?

Brother Trevor,

WAS PHOEBE REALLY A DEACON?

I'm not a hypocrite for that.

When I use one of my French Bibles, this is what is written "Je vous recommande Phoebé, notre soeur, qui est diaconesse de l'Église de Cenchrées"

Romains 16:1 (Louis Segond)

It is written that our sister Phoebe was a DEACON.

But, when I use the King James Version, it is written that Phebe our sister, was a SERVANT.

"I commend unto you Phebe our… Continue
