A litle bit earlier, I was hit with this almost uncontrollable urge to commit a common sin to me. This particular sin is one that has plagued me more so than any other sin in my life, and has been with me a large-portion of my life. As I got into the shower, I prayed to God, in repetition, rebuking the spirits in Jesus name, to leave my mind. After several-minutes of asking God to relieve me of this urge and cast-out the unclean spirit within me, I attempted to pray in tongues, but with…
Ok, a couple of my uncles [two of dad's brothers] came to visit today.
I was suspicious when Uncle L. mentioned during his last visit...I think he thinks that being born again is like a cult [he has said he's a Christian though].
Well, today he and uncle J. came to visit.
L. said this. Aunt P. [his sister] told him you have to be sure you're saved so you don't go to Hell. My uncle told us [my parents, uncle J. and me] that you just can't tell people they're going…
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for including the book of Proverbs in the Bible. Lord, may I take heed to the wisdom in this book and apply it to my life. Teach me truth, and give me knowledge and revelation of Your Word, so that I might live an overcoming life in this earth. Guide me so that I might daily walk in the Spirit and do the things that You have called me to do in my lifetime. May the contributions I make to this world be those that are inspired by You, and come from Your…
Your gifts can take you somewhere, but you need character to keep you there.
When a person, especially a minister, is very gifted, others often flock to that person. However, he or she must have Godly character in order to remain humble, so that the ministry won't turn sour.
If you have great gifts and you are waiting for God to promote you and wondering why He doesn't, check your character. Examine your Fruit of the Spirit… Continue

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for the privilege of serving my husband and family. Lord, give me the grace to take care of my family in the manner that is pleasing to You. Although I may not be called to accomplish all the many things the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31 did, may I be faithful in my particular duties. You gift us in different ways, so empower me to…
Genesis 9:25 : Cursed (ארור) is Canaan: Noah said to Ham: "You caused me that I should not father a fourth son, another one to serve me. May your fourth son [Canaan was Ham's fourth son, see Genesis 10:6 ] be cursed by serving the offspring of these greater ones [of Shem and Japheth]... What did Ham see that he emasculated him? He said to his brothers Adam the first man had only two sons (Cain and Abel) yet one killed the other because of the inheritance of the world [Cain killed Abel over a… Continue

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for the strength we have in You, so that we are able to do all things that You ask us to do.

I also thank You for daily provision, as well as provision for the future. Give me wisdom, so that I may take care of…
Jesus is the real God of heaven and earth. I was reading a lot of things in the word of God today. I notice how we are pursuit of fake gods. Take a look with me with in Isaiah 57:5- Inflaming yourselves with gods under every green tree. We are constantly lusting for things other than God himself. Look at what he says in Jeremiah 13:27- I have seen your adulteries And your lustful neighing, The lewdness of your harlotry, Your abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe to you, O…
I think one of the main reasons I have trouble reading the Bible is because it's hard to get a mental image of what is going on when I read.
I don't want to have regular faith I want to have extreame faith like Elijah or Daniel. The brothern overseas have extreame faith and I admire that. It's awesome they work together with brothers and sisters in Christ and accomplish so much for His sake!
I have my book from Voice of the Martyrs "Extreme Devotion". Their…
Today as I went for a Doctor appointment the wind and rain have been pretty strong. I arrived a little early and as I sat in my car the bushes and trees moved and seemed to jump for joy as the rain fell and the wind blew. As though they were rejoicing to God and thanking him for the rain. I smiled and thanked God too. Today I learned a friends pathology report was back and the result was "benign". I rejoiced and thanked God. Today as your day goes by see the…
