There is one thing that all human beings have to do sooner or later, and that is DIE. When faced with someone else’s death, or your own imminent demise, what are your thinking about? Funerals help to get things in focus. No matter how much we might hate death, losing someone close to us causes us to realize how fragile life is, and how every second is precious, and should be lived with all our might. For Christians, death is…..
Jesus made an incredible statement. He said, “Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8, KJV). Will we be caught with our faith britches down when Jesus comes to rule and reign forever? In all the pressures and cares of the age, are we going to forget the one who created us, and forget His Words and promises? You can become so wise in this world, that you forget one simple word:…..
If you feel like quitting, keep on. If you feel like you are spinning your wheels and getting nowhere, keep on. If you are so tired that you feel like you are praying through thick mud, keep on! Galatians 6:9 (NLT) tells us, “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.”
When the enemy attacks (and he will) and begins to speed things up around you so that your head wants to spin, go put on your turtle outfit. Go into low, slow gear, and be very purposeful in everything you do. Don’t worry about how your day will end or how much you have to do, just keep moving at a comfortable pace, and don’t let stress take over. It’s just another journey; just another day walking with Jesus. Do…..
Come up out of your graves! Rise up, fight with your prayers, your praises, and your confessions! “The Lord thunders at the head of his army; his forces are beyond number, and mighty is the army that obeys his command.” (Joel 2:11, NIV). It is an army that doesn’t look like an army, or dress like an army, but it is made of disciplined, unified troops that are joined in the spirit, and commanded by the Lord. When the Lord…..
You can’t be lazy and expect to get things from God. Most of the time, there is a wait attached to our prayers. During that waiting time, we have to exercise patience as we wait for the answer to our prayer. The best things in life take time; time for God to work in others, time to rearrange things so that your answer can come, time for the angels to break through the demonic realm to bring the answer (Daniel…..
I so love the Word of the Lord. I can flip open my Bible, and find awesome, inspiring, encouraging, and empowering scriptures everywhere. If you don’t, read a little farther, something will jump out at you. Ps 34:1, (KJV): “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Ps 34:4: “I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Ps 34:7: “The angel of the Lord encampeth…..
When the times we are living in seem hard, it could be that evil is being exposed. For evil to be exposed, it has to rise to the surface and be seen, because it is always deeper and more hidden than we want to believe. Evil is deceptive, and tries to wiggle away when light is shined on it. Ponds sometimes “turn over” when the hot days of summer turn suddenly cool in the fall. The deep, dark, muddy water…..
If you want the God of the universes to tell you secrets, then you must get close to Him, ask, and listen. Daniel and his friends did this, and it saved them from certain death (Daniel 2). James said to ask for wisdom without doubting, and you will receive it (James 1:5-8). That means total trust that the God that created all things will not tell you lies, but that He will give good, wise, and supernatural advice to you,…..
To change things in our world takes a group effort. You may think you are on an island to yourself, but you’re not. There are always others who think and believe like you, and you need support from them in times of trouble. The Lord sent disciples out in pairs so that when one grew weary or weak, the other could encourage and strengthen. Honor your friends who stand beside you, because they are God-given, and will keep you on…..
