When in Need of God's Presence:

In every moment of every day, God is by your side, ready to help, guide, protect you. Seek Him, & you'll find Him. WHATEVER UR CIRCUMSTANCES, be sure that God watches over you, because He loves you, & since God Himself is love, you can be confident that you are never out of His sight, nor His loving concern. How can you make yourself believe this? 1st, repeat it to yourself. Repetition is a powerful method of persuading the mind to accept a…

Make it a better year





"Because of this decision we don't evaluate people by what they have or how they look. We looked at the Messiah that way once and got it all wrong, as you know. We certainly don't look at him that way anymore. Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons! Look at it! All this comes from the God who settled the…

Are you holy enough?

Hebrews 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord."

God is a holy God: Christ is a holy Saviour: the Spirit of God is a holy Spirit: heaven is a holy place: the angels are holy angels: and all God's redeemed people are a holy people. Am I a holy person? If I am not, the Scripture assures me, that I shall not (cannot) see God. Holiness is a separation of heart from sin to God. It is not mere decency of conduct;…

If The World Hates You



Today’s  Scripture: If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. (John 15:18-19)…

Allow God to shape you

"We are the clay, and You our potter."

Isaiah 64:8 NKJV

Imagine a beautiful china teacup saying: "I wasn't always like this. There was a time when I was just a cold, hard, colorless lump of clay. One day the potter picked me up and said, 'I could do something with this.' Then he started to put pressure on me and change my shape. I said, 'What are you doing? That hurts. Stop!' But he said, 'Not yet.' Then he put me on a wheel and began to…

Heaven is a Remaining Place

Nothing you see on this physical earth is going to last nothing will remain. We like to have nice things and we should enjoy them, but don't get too attached they are not permanent. In the end, all we have left is our soul! All we will have in eternity is the treasures we send ahead. "Only 1 life " Story of a greedy christian lady. One story about a stingy/miserly person. She was a Christian, but very greedy and when she gave it was grudgingly. She…

God got your back

I remember back in the early years of my life in my 20's I went through some things and realized that God has my back, even though it looked impossible at the time , but soon or later my time came when God stepped in and took care of the situation for me.

I knew in my heart that God was the one to help me in my time of need, because I had that wonderful feeling of peace surrounding me, and I knew God was there to take…

Bring others into the intimacy

Otherwise when you are praising God in the Spirit, how can someone else, who is now put in the position of an inquirer,

say “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since they do not know what you are saying?

1 Corinthians 14:15-17

So, when you pray in your private prayer language,…

The Wisdom of God

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who [m]are perishing, but to us who [n]are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written,

“I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE,

AND THE CLEVERNESS OF THE CLEVER I WILL SET ASIDE.” 1 Corinthians 1:18-19

The Message that points to Christ on the Cross seems like sheer silliness to those hellbent on destruction, but for those on the way of salvation it makes perfect sense. This…

God hears the ridiculed

4 therefore, mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord: This is what the Sovereign Lord says to the

mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and the deserted towns that have been plundered and ridiculed by the rest of the nations around you   Ezekiel 36:4 NIV

“I have become a laughingstock to my friends, though I called on God and he answered— a mere laughingstock, though righteous and…

That is Life! Things just happens for a reason

We all go through times of ups and downs,wondering when we will ever they up always, but I'm here today to let you know, that is life!

We all have read stories of people in the bible having hard times crying and praying to the Lord for help and guidance.

They were treated wrong by others and hated that they didn't like them, but they went to God for help to touch those that treated them wrong, but God knew what they needed…

Renewing of the mind

Romans 12:2

2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will

be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

So here’s what I want you to do, God…

A God Filled Life

Your job is to speak out on the things that make for solid doctrine. Guide older men into lives of temperance, dignity, and wisdom, into healthy faith, love, and endurance.…

Love is the greatest

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.  1 Corinthians 13:11

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain,…

Romance communication needs

  You sit your spouse down and communicate to him that you need more romance before you are able to get into the “mood.” His response to this request is grab you in inappropriate places in public places or make naughty remarks about your private parts. In other words, he needs a little communication re-enforcement.   It is time to sit him down again and communicate to him…

Pray for yourself and others

So it is with you. Since you are eager for gifts of the Spirit, try to excel in those that build up the church. For this reason the one who speaks in a tongue should pray that they may interpret what they say. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.  1 Corinthians 14:12-14 NIV

So if you speak in a way no one…

Let people see God in you

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV

“There's more to…

The Parable of the Tenants

12 Jesus then began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. 2 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on…

Stay on the right course  

7 I shall give thanks to You with uprightness of heart,

When I learn Your righteous judgments.Psalm 119:7(NASB)

You're blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God.    You're blessed when you follow his directions,       doing your best to find him.    That's right you don't go off on your own;       you walk straight along the road he set.    You, God, prescribed the right way to live;       now…
