Do you ever long for something that will never change? Do you need consistency, comfort, and never-ending hope? Look no further, my friend! God has given us His Word, which is the only true foundation in an ever changing world. He had men write down the important parts of history, prophecy, and the works and words of Jesus and his disciples, which will never grow old, disappear, or change. You can count on God to stay the same! Isaiah wrote:…..
Are you a person who loves leftovers? Some leftovers are pretty good, like lasagna, or meatloaf sandwiches, but after a day or two, most lose their appeal. Some days I find I am giving God my leftovers: my leftover attention after everyone else gets theirs, my leftover time after I skip my morning prayers, or my leftover energy after a busy day. God deserves my full attention, and the first of my time and energy in the morning, as that…..
The hardest thing for some people to do is to look in the mirror. Sometimes what you see in others is what you are doing without knowing it. Can you be honest with God, and ask Him to expose YOUR problems? Most probably, Holy Spirit is already quietly pointing out some things you need to change, that would expedite your journey with Jesus. Yes, it will hurt to agree that you can be one of “those.” We can all act…..
We see the supernatural in much of media: superheros and evil fiends endued with magical powers, witches, dragons, goblins, ghosts, and things that go bump in the night. So, how do we reach this generation with the Gospel of Jesus Christ? God has a plan, and it is this: His supernatural power must be shown to this generation as it was in the Book of Acts. Satan has his “stuff” showing in every theater, but God’s “stuff” is mostly hidden……
Paradise is a promise for us who believe. One of the criminals who was hung on a cross at the same time as Jesus recognized him as the King of Heaven. Jesus spoke the words of life to him, “Today you will be with Me in Paradise” (Luke 23:43). The word paradise means refers to the Garden of Eden, where every need was provided, and Adam and Eve had only to tend to the garden and animals, and eat delicious…..
When we get a scripture which is referenced in both the Old and New Testaments, we need to pay attention. This is something important enough that God wants us to “get it.” In Deuteronomy 8:3 (NKJV), we read: “So he humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your father’s know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone, but man lives by every…..
Jesus paid a price long before He went to the cross for us. He spent untold hours in prayer, sometimes praying all night (Luke 6:12). When a young child, he spent his time in the temple, hearing the Word of God, and learning to read it, while other young children were playing or running around. He was paying a price. He denied himself many worldly pursuits which would have distracted from His heavenly call. He often fasted, and although a…..
If a baby is raised without language being spoken, or interaction with other humans, they will not learn to speak, or know things about the earth, except what they can see and hear. They must be taught. This is why God created families. Parents MUST teach their children their values and ways, or the children will get all this from someone else. Deuteronomy 11:18 &19 states: “You shall take these words of mine to heart and keep them in mind;…..
Everybody has somebody to complain about, but who’s abusing you? Look deeper, and understand and know that the person that’s driving you up a wall is being used by God’s enemies against you. They are a puppet, controlled by spirit forces to take your mind, time, and energy away from God-pursuits, and turn them into complaining and unbelief. Be very careful not to give these misbehaving entities any glory by letting them ruin your day. Let God make your day…..
Dictionary.com defines the word ‘revamp’ as: “1. to renovate, redo, or revise. 2. an act or instance of restructuring, reordering, or revising something; overhaul.” We need to revamp our minds. When you come to Jesus, you must change the way you think about things. You are no longer hopeless, without strength, stamina, or provision. We are not subject to sickness or disease, or mental distress. Hallelujah! We are no longer bound to this world, but citizens of the eternal Kingdom…..
