3 SAYINGS OF PHARAOH - THERE SHALL NOT AN HOOF BE LEFT BEHIND - PART 3

3 individuals in the Bible failed to make a clean break with the world - "Egypt" - and resultantly, met with total destruction. Those individuals were Lot's wife, Ananias, and his wife Sapphira.

In this third and final part of his message entitled - "3 SAYINGS OF PHARAOH" - my son John stresses the necessity of making a clean break with "Egypt" - the world. If not, you will eventually find yourself going back there to pick up what you left behind.

When the devil says as… Continue

I Pray to?

I Pray to?

“For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.”

There are many gods in this world today.

Many say we, as Christians, persecute those that refuse to live as Christ lived, but this isn't so.

We, as followers of Christ, are set in motion by a commission from the true God, the God of Abraham, Issac and… Continue

The Upper, Lower, Middel Class.

“Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;”

Charge; To lay on, give or communicate, as an order, command or earnest request; to enjoin; to exhort.

An order, injunction, mandate, command.

The Fire and The Shadow.

The Fire and The Shadow.

Many people are walking threw this life not finding pleasure nor an open door of compassion. Many are looking for something that will take away the pain of living. We all, at one time or another have been in this state, but we have found a release from this life of misery and pain, we have found a direction and an open door.

The Fire;

Trouble; affliction.

To set on fire, to kindle; to inflame; to excite… Continue

“Delayed Punishment.”

“Delayed Punishment.”

Vanity of the sinner.

“For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?

There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.”

Death comes to all the wicked and the righteous. As we look threw Ecclesiastes we see that this date of our demise is… Continue

Prayer Request about Anorexia Temptation

Hi, It's been a while since I've been on here. I've asked

for prayer about my marriage. Please, if it's on your heart to

do so today, say a prayer that our marriage will become strong

and healthy. I've been tempted with an old lifestyle lately- one of

anorexia. I know that the devil is trying to make this look appealing

to me again. This temptation has come and gone, and I've given into it off and on, throughout the years since I was about 12 years old. My mom puts a… Continue

STIMULUS SERMON...

RECENT VIRGINIA CHURCH SERVICE

I would love to give the Pastor of this predominantly black church in Virginia a hug and a high five. This guy is obviously a leader and not one of the sheep. Perhaps we should each decide who our real leader is. It is amazing to see that very little has changed in 4,000 years.

Welcome to Galatians - Galatians 1.1-5

Welcome to Galatians. . .

. . .a small book of just six chapters written by the apostle Paul. If you were along as we explored the book of Acts, you remember that Jesus stepped into Paul’s pathway—Paul, a proper Jew, full of scholarly self-righteousness, who had mercilessly persecuted the new Christians—and Paul was radically converted to a Jesus-follower. After a time, he set out on three journeys where he preached the good news of Jesus Christ, and saw many people—Jews and Gentiles… Continue

THE FACT THAT YOU'RE STILL ALIVE IS ONE MORE PROOF THAT GOD IS ALIVE

"...O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, Whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?" - Daniel 6:20

Look how King Darius addressed Daniel. He called him - "servant of the living God."

What he was doing here was contrasting Daniel's God with the lifeless idols of the Medes and Persians.

Indeed, his God was "a living God" - One Who has life... imparts life... and is able to preserve life. When placed into a life - or - death… Continue

'Tis the story of Paul's voyage(s) en route to Rome. . . What could be Luke's purpose in writing in such detail about Paul's tumultuous journey?

Have you been in a storm lately? Probably not if you live in Southern California--we have earthquakes and fires. . . but you could have been where storms whip themselves up into tornadoes. . . storms caused by… Continue

CHARACTER OF GOD - HOPE

Tuesday morning when I was in my visit with the Lord, I was sharing with Him, how I was feeling so weary and far from Him. He said to me, "As long as you have my WORD in here, you have HOPE. My Word is your HOPE. My Word is alive. My Word Loves. My Word heals. My Word brings peace and joy. As long as you have My Word, you have HOPE?" What a GREAT GOD He is!!

The true church!

The True Church

True Christians will be Christ-like. The Redeemer clothed his divinity with humanity, and came to our world--a world seared and marred by the curse of sin, a vale of darkness and woe--to accomplish a great work, as he announced in the synagogue of Nazareth: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind,… Continue

THE POWER OF KNOWING THE REASON AND PURPOSE OF YOUR LIVING

Greetings friends and fellow believers.

Peace,Joy and love be with you.

I have been praying and meditating on the word and the reason to why the world has gone crazy to the extent of even the children of God compromising and getting conformed to the ways of this world and discovered that we forgot the original purpose of our lives according to the manual book of the manufacturer or our creator.

The purposes to why Jesus came is that we may have life and have it in bundancy… Continue
