Taberah Fire

TABERAH FIRE

In the book of Numbers 11:1-3 a situation arose when the people of Israel began complaining out loud to the Lord about all the troubles they were facing living in the wilderness. The Lord became angry and the fire of the Lord began to burn among them. The burning was so awful that some people on the outskirts of the camp died. The people cried out for Moses to talk to God, and when he did the fire died down.… Continue

OUTSIDE THE GATE WITH JESUS

“The Lord says, "Get away (GK; escape, come out, come forth, depart ) from unbelievers. Separate ( GK; divide, separate, sever ) yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with anything unclean. Then I will welcome you." ( 2 Corinthians 6:17 GWT )

VICTORY OVER SIN

VICTORY OVER SIN

If I was working with a piece of wood and got a sliver in my finger, I would have to get it removed because my body will not except the invader that has trespassed into the body. The bodies defense system will do all it can to stop the invader from causing infection, the invader must be removed. Because it is not part of the body. It is something evil in the body, but it is not the body.

Our God will meet all our needs

Our God will meet all our needs

“God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today but tomorrow is thrown into the fire. So you can be even more sure that God will clothe you.

Don't have so little faith! Don't worry ( to be anxious, distracted ) and say, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?'

The people who don't know God keep trying to get these things, and your Father in… Continue

Trusting in Humans or Trusting in God

Trusting in Humans or Trusting in God

This is what the Lord says:

"A curse is placed on those who trust other people, who depend on humans for strength, who have stopped trusting the Lord. They are like a bush in a desert that grows in a land where no one lives,

a hot and dry land with bad soil. They don't know about the good things God can give. "But the person who trusts in the Lord will be blessed. The Lord will… Continue

IT'S A SPIRITUAL BATTLE

IT'S A SPIRITUAL BATTLE

I know my biggest battle I face every day is to keep in mind that I am in a spiritual battle. If it were left up to me I wouldn't have a chance, but the truth is that we have more than a chance, we can have total victory over all the powers of the enemy.

“Greater is he who is us than he who is in the world.” ( 1John 4:4b KJV)

“ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in… Continue

WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN

WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN

Israel had a son who was born to him when he was was old named Joseph. It appears that Israel favored him more than his other sons. He made Joseph a coat, sewing together patches of colored cloth, that was considered a coat of distinction. His other…

HOW TO HANDLE THE PROPHECTIC IN OUR LIVES

I listened to a great message last night about the prophetic, that I want to share a little bit of what I gleaned from it with you.

We have all had things that God has placed in our hearts, or have had some prophetic word spoken into our lives.

Joseph and David are excellent examples: Joseph had God show him in dreams his destiny. David was anointed…

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

It seems that lately I have been confronted with the whole spiritual warfare issue. It was in the 1980s that there was a real push on the whole spiritual warfare issue. Every one was talking about different spirits that were afflicting people. There were deliverance ministries, and piles of deliverance books, and you felt like you were ignorant if you hadn't read the latest book. Some where along the line we all… Continue

THROWING IN THE TOWEL

THROWING IN THE TOWEL

I recently listened to a young man share his testimony and he said a phase that stuck with me, “I felt like throwing in the towel.” I guess I have heard this phase many times before, but this time it stuck with me. When times are hard and it looks like we can't make ends meet, we might want to throw in the towel.

If you are a boxing fan you will be very familiar with the phase, “throwing in the… Continue

OH HOW THEY LOVE EACH OTHER

This past week was a difficult one for the Body of Christ here in my area of the world. A man who was a devoted Christian who was 49 was killed in a motorcycle accident avoiding a moose. I did not know him, but his son who is 15 is part of my Wednesday night prayer group. This young man got up in front of over 100s of people and shared his heart, and his faith and trust in the Lord along with his 22 year old sister who was the one who prayed him… Continue

EXPOSING THE TRAPS OF THE ENEMY

EXPOSING THE TRAPS OF THE ENEMY

The enemy( Satan ) uses lies to create doubt, to lure us into his trap.

In the book of Genesis the Devil in the form of a serpent created doubt in Eve by saying, “Did God really say? (Genesis 3:1)

His opening move pull mankind into into sin and rebellion against God is to create doubt through lies and distortions of the truth that he is trying to get Eve…

DIVINE HEALING

DIVINE HEALING

When ever we see a divine healing take place in a friend or family member, it is a glimpse of Heaven when we will all get new bodies that will never get sick again and will be healed forever.

I personally have seen many people healed over the years, and have had healing take place in my own body.

Up front I want to say that I do not believe that God heals everyone all the time. I have been… Continue

THE POWER OF CHOICES

THE POWER OF CHOICES

Former president Ronald Reagan once had an aunt who took him to a cobbler for a pair of new shoes. The cobbler asked young Reagan, “Do you want square toes or round toes?” Unable to decide, Reagan didn’t answer, so the cobbler gave him a few days.

Several days later the cobbler saw Reagan on the street and asked him again what kind of toes he wanted on his shoes. Reagan still couldn’t decide, so… Continue

BECOMING A RELEVANT CHURCH IN OUR GENERATION

BECOMING A RELEVANT CHURCH IN OUR GENERATION

For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.

( 2Corinthians 3:17-18 NLT )

I see a change in the new generation that is coming up… Continue
