Dear Brothers and sisters in Christ,

I have received a prayer request today to lift someone in prayer right now who is considering suicide as an easier way out at this very moment.I am withholding names at request as well in order to respect this persons privacy. Can we lift all those who's lives are so in turmoil that this extreme measure that enters their minds and souls seems to be the only answer to their troubles.

Dear Heavenly Father, as we rejoice in Your Holy…

Today, I visited God at His house. We had T together, just He and I and wow, I have heard about the comforting affects of Chamomile tea but God has much better T than that. God not only comforted me with that T but He refuelled this child with HIS strength. Now peace is within these walls and within the walls of my soul. All because I went to God’s house and had His very own brand of T. The T that stands for TRUTH!! THANKYOU GOD, and thank you for the LIFETIME SUPPLY!! ALL GLORY TO YOU…

God never promised us that life would be easy but He did promise to never forsake us and walk along beside us each and every day. He is with us through each trial; every temptation and He will always lift us up when we are down. My thought today is, do we approach Him FIRST when we are going through tough times. Oh yes, He places many in our paths to encourage us in our walk with Him and what a blessing that is, but it is ultimately God who will come up with the right answers for us. He…

Today’s devotional is for the most part a request for prayer from a Christian brother in Pakistan. It came at the time I was about to write this devotional.

Dear Heavenly Father, Your Name is Holy and we rejoice in praise and worship of You and You alone. You have commanded that we put no other Gods before You and we humbly approach You this day and ask that you comfort, protect and provide for all who serve You in every nation where persecution and war against us is present. We…

Full of honor and majesty in his work,

and his righteousness endures for ever.

He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered;

the Lord is gracious and merciful

He provides food for those who fear him;

he is ever mindful of his covenant.

He has shown his people the power of his works,

in giving them the heritage of the nations.

The works of his hands are faithful and just;

all of his precepts are trustworthy,

they are established for ever and…

Whatever God’s will is in our lives He will see to it that His will be done. No mountain, no barrier, no man can get in the way of His plans for you just as nothing was able to get in the way of delivering His people from Egypt. The whole earth He will move to set His people free just as surely as the Red Sea parted He will make your way straight. It is only us who sometimes get in the way when we allow fear or doubt to set upon our minds and our hearts. We have to learn discipline in order…

PSALM 111 DEVOTIONAL- FAITH,TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

Without faith, it is saying we do not believe in HIM.It is saying we do not believe HIS WORD!!! To move a mountain we need faith the…

Oh how much our Jesus suffered at the hands of His enemies! He did nothing wrong yet was pummeled,beaten,tortured and nailed to a cross. His enemies hated Him only because they did not believe Him and they felt convicted by His teaching of the TRUTH. Those enemies thought they had won the victory when Christ took His last breath. But lo and behold the earth shook and the curtain was torn from top to bottom and our Lord rose again in three days. VICTORY BELONGS TO THE LORD!! Victory belongs…
