Do you feel completely dried up, washed up, forsaken, and without hope? These things happen to all of us at times, as we who love the LORD have desert experiences, where everything is dry sand, without life, and barren. The enemy has seemingly stopped up every well, and nothing of spiritual value is growing in your prayer garden. Rejoice for there is great hope! Isaiah 35:6 states: “for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.”…..
Trust the Voice of the Lord in your heart. We must realize that things heard or seen or felt in our head are subject to change, and can come from the realm of the devil or come as reasonings from what our little pea brains have experienced or been taught. These are limited to the earthly realm. Once in Matthew and Luke, and twice in Mark, the LORD Jesus reprimands the people for reasoning about his miracles (Matthew 16:8, Mark…..
According to Ephesians 1:18 (NIV) Paul prayed that the “eyes of your heart may be enlightened.” How do you see with heart-eyes? You focus down inwardly and ask God to show you things you need to do, and where you need to go to cause circumstances to change. It is a purposeful giving of your heart’s imaginations to God in order to for Him to project things into you that He desires to tell you. It is like having a…..
Some are slipping into darkness. They are swirling down a deep dark drain of evil that will take them to Hell. Will you stand there and let it happen, or will you give them a hand back up into the light? Jesus told us himself, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man comes to the father but by me” (John 14:6, NKJV). If you know this, you have superior knowledge of the universe and its…..
Pooples are people whose actions smell bad. We can all be pooples at times, but most try not to show it, or we try to cover it up with excuses or little white lies. Get real, and just repent. Come to Father God and Jesus, and just let them know you are sorry that you blew it again, and that with Their help, you will not do it again. Galatians 5:16 states: “I say then, Walk in the spirit, and…..
If you want to feel God, you will have to hit the vein. Gold and silver run in veins, so if you want to mine them, you need to dig down to where you hit those veins. When an anesthesiologist puts you to sleep for surgery, he or she must “hit the vein” or make sure the medicine gets into your body through the proper channels: your circulatory system. When you are desperate for God, you will dig until you…..
2000 years ago or so, a little baby was born to a humble Jewish family. We are still celebrating His birth today, which should be reason enough to believe. One of His names is Emmanuel. It means: “God with us.” Jesus existed long before He came to be born a man on earth, but He chose to come as a man, show us what God’s Kingdom is like, and be hung on a crucifix. He, (an eternal Spirit), chose to…..
Most of us are very good at trash talk. We unfortunately have been practicing for a long time to speak negatively. When we speak negatively, we trash God and His Word. We call Him to be a liar, a cheat, and a killer. John 10:10 remedies that very quickly. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (KJV). Worst of all, we trash talk…..
Let’s think about Abraham Lincoln for a bit. He knew how to chop down a tree. He once said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will will spend the first four sharpening the ax.” When chopping down a devil-grown tree, spend time searching for scriptures to use as your weapons. When you have found the ones which apply, exactly, then commence to chopping. Jeremiah 23:29 states: “Is not My Word like a fire?” says the…..
So who is easier to follow in this natural world? God or satan? If you do things satan’s way, you become lazy and corrupt. It is very easy to lie, cheat, take, hurt others, and serve your own selfish desires. A little child does these things when not taught to do otherwise. It sometimes is cute when they do, and you have to discipline, but if left to themselves, they grow up to be very nasty adults who are like…..
