Warning for Men

Internet pornographers target web sites and addresses that appear to be Christian. The enemy knows that porno is a HIGHLY addictive force in his arsenal of evil tricks. I had a bad experience with pornography myself, I am not proud to admit it, but if it will help another man get free from it Praise Jesus! When I was about 13 years old I found a trunk that belonged to my brother in the attic, it was filled with pornographic magazines and photos. I guess my brother realized I found it, because… Continue

HANDLING THE STING OF CRITICISM:

BIBLE MEDITATION:

Galatians 2:20 - "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I,

but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by

the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me."

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

God loves you so much that Jesus Christ hung in agony and blood for you. You are

precious to God. You are the object of God's love. The blood of Jesus Christ was

poured out on Calvary for you.… Continue

A word of encouragement!!

Everything that is presently going on in our lives, even what the enemy designed for evil (Gen. 50:20), the Lord knew about from eternity past and has a purpose for it. It is in our best interest both present and eternal to submit to the will of the Lord and ask Him for understanding as to why such and such is happening in our lives. He does not adjust His purposes towards us to offset what is going on about or with us. As he said to the children of Israel while they were in captivity… Continue

LAW/ JUSTICE

LAW/ JUSTICE

"When People do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obey the law is happy." ~PROVERBS 29:18

"To reject the law is to praise the wicked; to obey the law is to fight them. Young people who obey the law are wise; those who seek out worthless companions bring shame to their parents. The prayers of a person who ingnores the law are despised."… Continue

LOVIN,INC CREATIONS " DEVOTIONS" WORDS OF WISDOM

The pure in heart see all things full of God.

-- Henri Nouwen

Love is blind, we like to say, but no; Love is not blind. The ego is blind. All it can see is itself. But Love is not blind. Love is pure vision! God, seeing through us! The more we allow God to see through us, the more we will notice a great healing taking place in our world.

We Need The Holy Ghost to Do Ministry (Acts 1:8)

Mat 3:11 (NIV) [John the Baptist:] I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

Mark 1:8 (NIV) I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

Luke 11:11-13 (NIV) [Jesus:] "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If… Continue

WORRY

The same God that gave us commandments such as "Do not commit adultery, do not murder" said, "Do not worry." It's a violation of our relationship to God to question His authority by worrying.

Has any good ever come out of any worrying that we've ever done? Worry only compartmentalizes us andmakes us unable to do what we set out to do. If we are worried about a problem, what we need to do is simply trust the Lord and do good.

The word worry comes from a word that means "to divide."… Continue

The Double Portion Annointing

2 Kings 2:1-15 (KJV)

And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. [2] And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel. [3] And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will… Continue

Please Read Your Bibles.....STOP The Sabbath Madness!

In the Old Testament, God stated, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you," (Exodus 20:8-10, NASB). It was the custom of the Jews to come together on the Sabbath, which is Saturday, cease work, and worship God. Jesus went to the synagogue on… Continue

Does God still love me?

Does God still love me?

It can sometimes be difficult for us to fully understand the love that God has for us because often times we see love within the confines of what we can comprehend. Most of us love conditionally and were loved by people whose love would come and go depending on what we did. The love of God is probably one of the greatest mysteries for humans. It's not a mystery because God doesn't explain it; it's a mystery because we can sometimes think that we don't… Continue

HALF-DEAD OR HALF-ASLEEP WORSHIP

"Sing lustily and with a good courage. Beware of singing as if you were half dead or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength. Be no more afraid of your voice now, nor more ashamed of its being heard, than when you sung the songs of Satan." - John Wesley

"Holy joy is that devout affection which should animate all our praises..."

"Spiritual joy is the heart and soul of thankful praise."

- both quotes are from Matthew Henry

What is this half-dead or… Continue

Encountering the Authority of God ....

In 2nd Kings 5, Naaman’s story gives a revelation that there are issues that require submission to God’s authority.These issues are those that are pressing and over bearing on our human nature.

Naaman was described as a man who was in great authority and had position. He had favor with royalty. His name was on guest lists for the greatest events. He was in fact a man that today would be described as having a life worth living. However, despite this he had an issue that nothing he had… Continue

DIAGNOSIS: Devil Is A Liar!

Praise the name of the Lord! For He is my Rock, He is my Fortress, He is my Deliverer. In Him will I Trust. What an awesome God we serve. True to His Word!

For most of the weekend I found myself in a hospital bed, on a heart monitor, taking a number of tests… EKG, ECG, Cat scan, Sonogram, blood work and more blood work… only for them to determine that the devil is a liar! Once again God is exalted and the devil is defeated in my life!

God is good! On Saturday after going… Continue

How to Spot a False Teacher

False teachers are proud. They are concerned for their own popularity. They are concerned for their own fame. They are concerned for their own notoriety. They are concerned for their own prestige. They’re concerned to see themselves and hear themselves in the public eye. They want large crowds, as it were, to bow down in great homage to them. They’re characterized by pride and they will do anything to gain the ground they need to gain for the welfare of their own personal ego, including any… Continue

When Pastors Need a Pastor

One of the responsibilities of pastors serving congregations is to visit members who are hospitalized, home-bound, grieving the deaths of loved ones, or otherwise in need of pastoral care. What happens when the pastor is the one in need of care, though? While parishioners can certainly visit and pray with their pastor, this role reversal can be awkward for both. Furthermore, the pastor's role as leader of the congregation makes it inappropriate to share too much information about his or her… Continue

Perfect Rest in His Presence

To be at rest is to feel peaceful and totally relaxed. When is the last time you can say you were truly at rest? Signs such as snoring, jaw crunching and moaning, belie a perfectly restful sleep.

Everyone craves rest either consciously or subconsciously. If you're too busy doing things, retired but worrying about your pension benefits, or concerned about catching the next epidemic, you are not at rest.

Moses understood only too well the consequences of stress. In his… Continue
