Daily Warfare

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all,… Continue

No man has ever seen, heard or even imagined the wonderful things God has in store for those who love the Lord (I Corinthians 2:9)

No matter where you are in life right now, God has much more in store for you. God wants to take you to new levels in every area of your life. He wants to give you more wisdom so you can make better decisions. He wants to give you a stronger anointing so you can have greater influence.

Christmas gift ~ for your consideration

CHRISTMAS GIFT for your consideration. 12.3.09

Good Day~

Today it feels like winter outside—at least as winter-y as Southern California gets.

The calendar page has been flipped from November to December; my tree has already been up a week, covered in beautiful white lights, and Sarah Machlachlan is crooning “What Child is This?” on my kitchen CD player. ‘Love this time of year. Last week or so, I mentioned giving a gift to the Christ Child, contemplating what that… Continue

The Freedom to Enjoy God

Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:3-4

The gospel writers spoke about children coming to Jesus, giving the impression that the young were very comfortable around Him (Matthew 18:2-3). Some probably climbed onto His lap, while others perhaps sat at His feet. We can picture them asking Him lots of questions,… Continue

What did you learn? 1 Thessalonians 5.23-28

WHAT DID YOU LEARN?

1 Thessalonians 5.23-28

“May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this.

Beloved, pray for us.

Greet all the brothers and sisters with a holy kiss.

Jesus, please be with Me Always

Hello once more, my dear brothers and sisters in my Lord Jesus Christ. I have posted before that I do suffer from depression and OCD, both give me hollow feelings and plague me with intrusive thoughts and excessive worries, especially about God and Jesus, and my connection with them....

There has been one word that has kept popping into my mind, and has caused me much stress and to pray over and over for forgiveness for that.... That word would be "no". I have feared it meant like… Continue

The Canopy of God's Love

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

When we're in pain, we may question whether God cares or even knows what we're going through. Our difficult circumstances can give us a wrong view of Him. Scripture teaches that our three-in-one God is omniscient and omnipresent. In other words, He knows all things and is everywhere. No actions or persons are hidden from His sight. The past, present, and future are all laid… Continue

Lessons for Living ~ 1 Thessalonians 5.12-22

LESSONS FOR LIVING~ a summary ~ 1 Thessalonians 5.12-22

Good Day!

Paul is wrapping up his letter to the Thessalonians, and he summarizes proper behavior, which can almost be divided into areas of responsible living. (In the following, the Scripture will be underlined, and the explanation will follow it.)

Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love… Continue

Can you tell me the date? 1 Thessalonians 5.1-11

CAN YOU TELL ME THE DATE?

1 Thessalonians 5.1-11

Now, Brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. You are all sons of the light and sons of… Continue

Knowing God's Will - Break Down the Barriers!

How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You. Psalm 119:9-11

God is always pleased to reveal His will to us. But at times, we cannot receive the message. Something in our life is creating a barrier to hearing Him.

Obstacles to the believer include: Self-will.… Continue

WHEN WILL YOU STOP GOING AFTER THE TINSEL & TOYS OF THIS WORLD?

"Because God will soon destroy the world and judge the unrighteous, we must not become attached to this world's system or things within it." - The Full Life Study Bible

"Common sense tells us to turn from the tinsel and toys of this world and live in holiness and godliness. It is a simple matter of living for eternity rather than time, of emphasizing the spiritual rather than the material, of choosing the permanent over the passing." - Believer's Bible… Continue

GOD MANIFOLD WISDOM

IS THIS GREAT NEWS OR NOT

Ephesians 3:9-12 (Amplified Bible)

9Also to enlighten all men and make plain to them what is the plan [regarding the Gentiles and providing for the salvation of all men] of the mystery kept hidden through the ages and concealed until now in [the mind of] God Who created all things by Christ Jesus.

The Healthcare issue

Healthcare how important is it pro choice says not very! Wait a minute they don’t say that, you may respond. O.k. Those words may not be used but have you ever heard that saying “actions speak louder than words!”

Now it took me a minute to reach this conclusion because it appears in the media that there are two separate issues being discussed and debated in the government. That of Health Care and then that of Abortion. This is not the case though, it is one issue or in this case… Continue

More on Tozer....

I've posted a series of articles written and published by A.W. Tozer. Sadly, we do not have audio of Bro. Tozer for these messages. Never the less, I have made recordings of these articles for whosoeverwill using my voice for the glory of God. I do so with the utmost of respect for the message, and the man. I trust someone, somewhere, will be blessed and encouraged to live sanctified and holy before God, without spot or blemish. To God be the glory, now and forever… Continue

A Hope Like No Other ~ 1 Thessalonians 4.13-18

Today, we look at "A HOPE LIKE NO OTHER" - for the new folks joining us, we are toward the end of Paul's first letter to the young believers in Thessalonica. . . in which he addresses the subject of Jesus' return.

Good Morning.

I went to high school in the 70s, which was the decade in between . . . in between the radical movement of the 60s and the upwardly mobility of the 80s. It was then that I also developed a view of the second coming of Jesus that was also ‘in… Continue

ECSTASY...THE WILD SIDE OF GOD!!

Man was created for companionship with God, man was created to live in the unbroken ecstasy of God.……until the fall, he had perfect fellowship with him….The bible says “In his presence there is FULNESS of JOY and at his right hand are pleasure forever more”

Psalm 16:11. We were created to know Gods full gamut of JOY and PLEASURE while living in his presence, this is the “pleasure” principle.

Nothing in this life can complete us or fulfill us like his presence, but we… Continue

UNTIL TIME ENDS...

Time and earth pass away here in your presence, it all becomes as nothing. You speak and the sound of many waters passes through my soul. I am drenched, engulfed, in waves of liquid love, drowning me in your presence till I float in a mist of glory. Every nerve ending is alive to your touch; my senses are afire with the ecstasy of your smile. I reach out and touch the cloud of Glory and touch eternity, I am undone, unraveled, disabled. Up is down, inside is out, all is turned around here in… Continue
