God Help Me to Turn This Corner!

God Help Me to Turn This Corner! We all have those seasons where it seems that we are under attack from every direction. Shouldn't a decision to move for God be preceded by a wave of good fortune? Shouldn't all of the events that would happen to one who makes a decision to follow Christ be only rose-colored ones? Folks when you decided to make Jesus your choice, did you see that many days hence you would be under an attack that has become so severe? Well folks the Psalmist did pen in Psalm 34… Continue

The Testimony of Jesus

The Testimony of Jesus

by Bayo Omoyiola, Jr.

Worship God ! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

- Revelation 19:10 (NKJV)

Worshiping God is the greatest thing we can ever do in our life-time and every time we testify about Jesus we hold him in worship. Each time we testify about his goodness, his love, his miracles etc we are saying to him - You are Lord, you can do all things. Praise be to thy name. And every time we do that we are… Continue

Letter To Billy Graham

I am using the "Billy Grahams Christian Workers Handbook" as a source for the Prayer Support Ministry I started in my Church. The book is absolutely fantastic, and contains diamonds and gold nuggets througout the book.

Yet there is one error I did notice in the last chapter of the book, in the section of "A Comparison Of Christianity With Major Religions And Cults."

First error was to generalize the religions into one body of understanding. There are many different sects… Continue

From Get Over It!!! A Down to earth Look at the Issues of Christian Divorce and Remarriage

Lack of forgiveness and bitterness are two of the most obvious of the emotions to detect. The person who angrily says, "I will never remarry" needs to examine himself/herself for unforgivenss and bitterness. They feel abandoned, rejected and violated by their spouse. They think to themselves; "I can't believe this person did this to me." It is easy for someone to tell a person to let go og hurts and forgive their ex-spouses. It is far more difficult for that person to actually do. Yet, if you… Continue

"........the Dream Shall Never Die!"

"...In such a fantastic and dangerous world—we will not find answers in old dogmas, by repeating outworn slogans, or fighting on ancient battlegrounds against fading enemies long after the real struggle has moved on. We ourselves must change to master change. We must rethink all our old ideas and beliefs before they capture and destroy us. And for those answers American must look to its young people, the children of this time of change. And we look… Continue

Faith

2 Corinthians 5:7 says "For we walk by faith, not by sight." God's Word is true. He does not life. Even though we may not see answers to pray instantly, doesn't mean God has not heard us. In fact He heard you the first time you prayed. We must continue to stand on God's Word and believe that we receive the things we have prayed about. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Trust the Lord for He cares for you. He has plans for you, to give you hope and a future, not to hurt or… Continue

What difference does it make what NAME you call the Heavenly Father and Jesus As Long As You Call Him?

What difference does it make what NAME you call the Heavenly Father and Jesus As Long As You Call Him?

Hi blessed believers I want to speak on how important it is for believers to "know" that it's not "what" name you refer to our God by, rather, it is important 'that,' you call on Him. He will hear you and answer you. I want all believers to rest assured in this truth as we use this wonderful BPN site to Lift up our Heavenly Father, and our Savior Jesus. Every 'righteous' voice… Continue

Wake up People!

The fact is, these people can find only ONE verse that mentions "Prosperity" in the whole New Testament (and it is of dubious help, as we shall see). And there are dozens and dozens of verses in opposition! But which one do they choose to quote again and again? Here it is in the King James Version (which is the only translation that helps them in any way): "I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." (3 John 2). Now, it is interesting to note… Continue

YOUR ARE A NEW CREATION

The bible made it clear that you are a new creation(a new being,person with a new identity). 2Corinthians 5:17 says,"For if anyone be in Christ,he is a new creation,old things are passed away;behold all things have become new."Hallelujah,am always happy when i recall this verse of the Bible. Apostle Paul, here further explained the new nature we have when we gave our live to Jesus. See whatsoever you have been involved with before you became Born Again doesn't have any thing to do with who you… Continue

Don't Drink The Kool-Aid

Jim Jones was able to take hundreds of lives in Guyana because someone refused to listen to their gut (spirit). I firmly believe in supporting the local church and helping pastors, I want to make that clear. However there is a real epidemic of spiritually stupid “saints” that don’t study their Bibles and try every spirit by the Spirit. We were given the ability to discern so we WON’T end up giving our money to crooks and drinking poison Kool-Aid! Many of today’s most prominent preachers would… Continue

Sexual Sin and Bloodlines

The Canaanites were the most sexually deviant people of their time!

7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. (Exodus chapter 34)

Sexual sin’s pass through bloodlines because the demons that influence the perpetrators, never die! These vile spirits haunt families… Continue

LIVE UNDER THE SENSE OF WHAT IS COMING

The course and sequence of events in your Christian life are as certain and necessary as the processes of nature. All is in progress. Be sure of it. God wants you to foresee what is at the door.

"As in the kingdom of nature there is a chain of causes, so in the kingdom of providence there is a consequence of one event upon another."

"As we may lawfully prognosticate the change of the seasons when second causes have begun to work, so we may, in the disposal of events,… Continue

New Testament Giving

GIVING IS VOLUNTARY

The New Testament teachings on giving are unpretentiously simplistic involving the heart and not some law:

"…freely ye have received, freely give" (Matt. 10:8b).

"Give to him that asks you, and from him that would borrow of you turn not thou away" (Matt. 5:42).

"The churches in Macedonia and Achaia, you see, have thought it a good thing to make a contribution towards the poor Christians in Jerusalem. They have decided to do this,… Continue

Trapped In The Pulpit?

The following subject that I am about to discuss can be offensive to some, and yet a relief to others. I want to start by saying it is never my intention to personally attack or intentionally hurt anyone. The purpose of this forum is to bring light and safe passage to all who are in bondage of any type in the body of Christ. My Assignment in the body of Christ is to the Leaders, the Levites, the Priest. When the lord begin to deal with me about the struggles of the pulpit I new that this would… Continue
