The Pit of Destruction or the Palace of Praise

What is going on with your life at this moment in time? Are you going through trials that seem to never ease up? Does it seem like you’ve been suffering forever? Do you have health issues? Are you in lots of physical pain that never seem to stop? Are you in a financial bind? Are bills coming in 10 times faster than the paychecks are? Does it seem like you’ll never catch up?

A CRY WITHOUT A VOICE

By David Wilkerson

Published: 08/25/2015 - 10:04am

Just before Jesus healed the deaf man in Mark 7, we read, "Looking up to heaven, he sighed" (Mark 7:34). The word for sigh here signifies an audible groan. Evidently, Jesus grimaced and a groan came out of His heart. Of course, the man couldn't hear it,…

Use your words as building blocks

Every word you say will have an affect on others. Positive words will encourage and strengthen other people, but negative words will tear down and harm them. You must decide whether to speak positively or negatively. Please understand that speaking positively requires a deliberate decision, whereas speaking negatively comes easily—for it is human nature. Therefore, actively strive to speak positive and encouraging words to…

Walking with God

“Walking in Humility”

(James 3:13-18 NKJV) Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. {14} if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts do not boast and lie against the truth. {15} this wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. {16} for where…

Grace

Grace is mentioned 170 times and is God's unmerited favor, it is by grace you are saved and not by works alone Eccl 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.…

God Surprises Us.

God Surprises Us. Matthew 10.5-6

We think we have him all figured out—especially in America. We can size him up and put him in a box, many times on a shelf, but he really will not fit in either. Preachers with various letters and dots behind their names, from…

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the…

The Disciples … why them? How about you?

The Disciples … why them? How about you? Matthew 10.1-4

He works in and around a beautiful coastal harbor, with boats and people all around, but the fact is, he works as a deckhand on a fishing boat, and it is hard, tiring, smelly work. Then came the day…

BE PARTICULAR IN ALL YOU DO, DESIRE GOODNESS ALONE.

“Whatever is true, whatever is honest, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is kind, if there is any virtue, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8, NIV)

What you think about determines the quality and direction of your life. Naturally, people who think positive, uplifting thoughts have…

WHERE IS YOUR FOCUS

In this world where many are driven by ambition and keep striving for betterment, it is easy to become so goal-oriented and so focused on where we’re heading that we don’t give time to the things that are important now. We can miss smelling the roses along the way. We can miss the loving hugs of our little ones. We…

Understanding through Divine inspiration.

Luke will not write of things about which Christians may safely differ from one another, and hesitate within themselves; but the things which are, and ought to be surely believed. The doctrine of Christ is what the wisest and best of men have ventured their souls upon with confidence and satisfaction. And the great events whereon our hopes depend, have been recorded by those who were from the beginning eye-witnesses and ministers of the word, and who were perfected in their understanding of…

Why Go in Twos?

Matthew 10.1-5a

The first time I met ‘the two’, I was 13 years old, and the year was 1974. Believe it or not, we drove 3,000-plus miles from Alameda, California, (near San Francisco) to Anchorage, Alaska, to see an aunt…

NO SINCERE PRAYER IS LOST

Make your requests known to your Maker. Never is one repulsed who comes to Him with a contrite heart. Not one sincere prayer is lost, amid the anthems of the celestial choir, God hears the cries of the weakest human being. We pour out our heart's desire in our closets, we breathe a prayer as we walk by the way, and our words reach the throne of our Monarch of the universe, they maybe inaudible to any human ear, but they…

Matthew chapter 10

Can’t you just picture Jesus, looking out at the crowd, looking at people in the marketplace … watching and knowing that they just simply did not ‘get it’…how his heart went to them! Yet, who would go? Who would tell them,…

Jesus, Man for Others

Jesus, Man for Others. Matthew 9.35-37

When I saw her standing there, she had the strangest look on her face.

I mean, I had just had a lengthy conversation with her following the Sunday morning service, but what was happening, what was wrong? ‘Laura … hey, are you okay?’ ‘Yeah, I’m just looking at Marilyn walk away—worried about her; she’s so lost without Al.’ Al had passed suddenly when the couple was in Paris. See it has…
