HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN REDEEMED?!?

Have you been Redeemed?

1 Peter 1:18-19 (KJV)

18) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

Webster's Dictionary (1864) defines REDEMPTION as:

The act of procuring the deliverance of persons or things from the possession of… Continue

BE GOD GULLIBLE

HOLY GREETINGS,

I WAS SITTING BY MY WINDOW AND REFLECTING OVER THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD AND ALL OF THE WONDROUS THINGS HE WAS DOING NOT ONLY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY BUT FOR EVERYONE THAT I KNEW WHEN I REALIZED I WAS GOD GULLIBLE.

WHAT IS GOD GULLIBLE? IT IS BELIEVING EVERY THING HE SAYS. IF HE SAYS HE WILL BE WITH ME ALWAYS, I BELIEVE HIM. IF HE SAYS I SHOULD CAST MY CARES ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR ME, I BELIEVE HIM. IF HE SAYS HE WILL MAKE MY BURDENS LIGHT, I BELIEVE HIM. IF HE SAYS… Continue

Will the Real DIVA please stand up?

Where is the DIVA that will stand? Got knocked down, got knocked backwards and you thought because of that last night that you were out. Oh yeah, you got knocked down and will probably get knocked down again, but will the Real DIVA please stand up. Your down fall was a set up for you to get up! You can make it, you can take it. You are just like that timex watch, you take a licking and keep on ticking. You are like the energizer bunny, when others… Continue

Why Johnny Can't Preach

What would make a difference would be Christian proclamation that was less concerned with “how-to” and more concerned with “why-to,” why humans are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. (Snippet from “Why Johnny Can’t PREACH” pg 60- T. David Gordon)

NLT Psalm 139:14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-- and how well I know it.

The Light

Gen 1:3 (NIV) And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

Gen 3:8 (NIV) Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

Dallas Willard states: "Almost all evil deeds and intents are begun with the thought that they can be hidden by deceit." The kingdom of evil is built on lies, secrets, and darkness. It requires the absence of light… Continue

Tests & Trials

1 Thes 3:3 (TEB) ... None of you should turn back because of these persecutions. You yourselves know that such persecutions are part of God's will for us.

Acts 14:22 (Jer) ... "We all have to experience many hardships," they said, "before we enter the kingdom of God."

When Bad Things Happen

The Scriptures speak of three types of "trouble" for the believer: 1) Discipline, judgment, or rebuke from the Lord; 2) tests, trials, persecutions, suffering; and 3)… Continue

Dead in Adam or Alive in Christ, Part 4

Romans 8:6: “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”

Spiritual Life

What is spiritual life? What does it mean to be alive in Christ? We have seen that spiritual death means separation from the life of God. God is the source of life. We can only have spiritual life in union with God. Separated from God we are dead. Spiritual life is, of course, the opposite of spiritual death. When we are spiritually dead we are… Continue

ARE YOU AN UNLIMITED LOCAL OR A LONG DISTANCE CARRIER?

Which ever comes first, it's all FOOLERY! It amazes me that majority of the leaders *(Bishops, Apostles,… Continue

When Is One “Born Again”? Not Now, But At the Resurrection...

When Is One “Born Again”?

The truth is one is "begotten of the Spirit" today then "born of the Spirit" at the Resurrection..

Many believe that being “born again” means having a “religious experience” or “accepting Christ.” Also, this is believed to constitute the process of conversion. Anyone having “experienced” this is said to be “saved.” Yet, is this what the Bible says?

Nicodemus, a Pharisee and ruler… Continue

Firm Footing in Gospel Shoes

Firm Footing in Gospel Shoes

“...and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace...” (Eph. 6:15)

Knowing, believing and acting upon the truth of the gospel gives us firm footing to stand against Satan’s attacks. The shoes that Roman soldiers wore had spikes on the bottom that gave them a firm grip on the battlefield. When we know that Jesus has died for our sins and been raised from the dead for our justification, Satan’s lies are unable to knock us off our… Continue

“Pulling Down Strongholds”

The Bible does sometimes use military terminology when describing the Christian’s responsibility. Yet, in those cases, we must ask ourselves if we are “pushing the parables too far,” by reading more into metaphorical language than was meant. For example, a classic text that is often misinterpreted is 2 Corinthians 10:3-6:

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the… Continue

Why yet am I also Judged as a Sinner?

Why yet am I also Judged as a Sinner?

In these end days we see controversy after controversy. The Bible is clear on those that will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but when a man, who is called by God, preaches these things he is accosted, persecuted and called a sinner.

“For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we… Continue

The Gay Christian.

Many, in these end days, are accusing the Christian community of hate for gay and lesbian couples. This idea is wrong, we do not hate but fear for their souls. Here is the question that many are asking;”Can a gay man, or lesbian woman, be a Christian?” The Bibles answer is no.

“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of… Continue
