Putting Faith Into Action With The Spoken Word… Or Not
So why do some people insist on dwelling on all of this negativity? The simple answer is lack of faith and lack of hope. Without faith and without hope, the unknown can be terrifying. We hold on to the “demon” we have grown accustomed to rather than open the door to a new, possibly more painful experience. Because we are holding on, our spoken words reflect our pain. It is essentially a defense mechanism that keeps us stagnant. So how can we break this cycle? We must learn to manifest a joyful future using the spoken word.
Gloryway Is Forever His – Bringing the Light of Christ to Instant Messaging
Gloryway Is Forever His… Two of my friends recently joined forces combining two online portals of prayer into one. Linda M Davis and Tammie Perry had each felt the calling to create and maintain a prayer group on Skype. Tammie was ministering to prayer needs in a group she called Forever His, and Linda maintaining…
If God Is In Control, Why Do I Feel This Way?
God is in control… But for me, this weekend has been one of mixed feelings that I am sure many of you can relate to. I have had to remind myself over and over… God is in control! It seems my world was turned inside out by one event after another, and I can only…
Raised From the Dead!
Yes, I had gone astray, and I lusted for all kinds of things, but I loved nothing. In one blessed moment I promised my life to Him, and He handed my life back to me, and for the first time in my life, I felt truly ALIVE!
The Biblical Model For Sustainable Living
While the common man has dreamed of a utopian society that could be achieved via a plethora of isms (capitalism, socialism, communism, and so on), that utopia has never been achieved due to mans corruption of the ideals of whatever ism is in place.
When Does Eternal Life Begin?
The question of eternal life is at the root of mankind’s eternal questions. Who am I? Why am I here? Is there anything more? What happens after I die? Because God has made us intelligent, we are naturally curious, and it seems we are most curious about things we cannot prove. One thing is quite certain; we do not want to die. Even when we grow old and fragile, clinging to life is more than instinctive and it is more than fear of the death of the body. It is a sincere desire to live on after the body has withered and died.
He Has Risen! A Message of Hope
Making Disciples – The Blueprint for Network Marketing
I knew in advance that his topic would be about church growth and the things of God that fuel increasing revival on the small island of Cuba. What I was not prepared for was the striking resemblance between the process of discipleship he spoke of, and the network marketing industry, when it is done with honesty and integrity. No wonder so many people are attracted to network marketing… God is the genius who came up with the plan!
The Aaronic Blessing
It is found in the book of Numbers, the law that God gave to Moses. It follows the passages that detail how one takes the vow of a Nazirite to separate himself to the Lord. The Nazirite vows were specific and sacrificial, and according to the law, “…until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself to the LORD, he shall be holy.” Numbers 6:5 (NKJV)
That should give us a clue about just how serious this portion of scripture is, and just as the law concerning the Nazirite vows ends, God gives instruction on how the people are to be blessed by the priesthood.
Temptation
In the Gospel of Matthew 4:11, it ends there with angels coming to minister to a tired and hungry Jesus, but in the Gospel of Luke 4:13 it is not so final. “Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.” You see it wasn’t over for Jesus, and likewise we will ever be tempted in this earthly life.
