Warm Fuzzies For Jesus

Sometimes when we think of Jesus, we get all warm and fuzzy inside. He’s good and even those who don’t profess Christianity know it. We, His professing people, celebrate Jesus, sing songs to Him, sell Him on mugs, candies and t-shirts. We buy books based on His teaching, join small groups and internet groups to talk about Him and what He has done…for us. We go to church and worship Him while our minds are distracted and divided thinking about our lives. We profess Him…but most of us don’t… Continue

All In The Name Of Fun

“I do”….When these words join a couple in holy matrimony are a beautiful promise of commitment. When these same words are used to join Jesus’ church to the world they are ugly, filthy, vile and disgusting.

We, Jesus’ bride, have long believed that God has been withholding something from us (that belief goes all the way back to Eve, doesn‘t it?). Looking with longing at forbidden fruits always leads to being discontent with God‘s ways and commands. Discontentment leads us to outright… Continue

what have we done ? what do you think?

WHAT HAVE WE DONE

Collectively we as a nation have elected a president on the word that he would bring change as to how the federal government would be run and be more transparent in the process. Little did the general public know that this newly elected president and his agenda for America would result in catastrophic deficits way beyond our imagination. Deficits that will and have saddled our grandchildren and great-grandchildren with more debt than all of the presidents in the history… Continue

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS ... PRAY FOR OUR TEACHERS AND SCHOOLS

Prayer Before Lunch at School

Saturday, August 15, 2009

A principal and an athletic director in Florida could be charged with crimes and spend six months in jail after they prayed before a meal at a school event, the Washington Times reported.

Pace High School Principal Frank Lay and athletic director Robert Freeman will go on trial in federal district court Sept. 17. They're accused of violating the conditions of a lawsuit settlement reached last year with the… Continue

Where Are The People Of God?

Where are the people of God today? Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness? Who long for God more than they do for food and water? Who simply must have God–or they die? Where are the people who will cry out to God to make them holy–at any cost? Those for whom spending hours before the throne of God is normal? Where are the men and women of God who love God and His Word so very much that they will give their very lives to see it taught? Who will stand up for truth even when it is… Continue

RAMBLINGS & SUCH

Over a period of years I have submitted to a variety of Christian GROUPS and individuals posts that I have nicknamed "Ramblings" which are basically my thoughts on spiritual matters, scriptures, and personal thoughts on certain issues. When I have posted the above the response has been surprisingly good. I also appreciate very much the responses I have received and I value them highly. Therefore I have created a new address for just such posts and for responses. There is another reason for… Continue

What Is Happiness

WHAT IS HAPPINESS?

J.C. Brumfield

A sick woman. I remember a lady in the hospital who was desparately ill. She had been ill a long time and it seemed that progress was slow. She said,"If I could just be well, then I would be the happiest woman in the world." That was her idea of happiness, but there are many healthy people who are not happy.. I have known invalids who were perfectly happy and content.

*The crippled boy. He was a bright little fellow in the… Continue

AND THERE HE BUILT AN ALTAR

Here is a classic message by my son John. He relates the secret of Abraham's success in life. And it will be ours as well if we do as he did.

Life may not be easy for you right now. However, if you will keep cultivating your relationship with Jesus, you will find blessings in the end. At one point, Lot seemingly was more blessed than his uncle Abram. But in the long run, we found out who was indeed blessed of the Lord.

May you be encouraged and strengthened by this word… 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

There is a simpe secret - master it, and you can have everything your heart desires. This is true, but still there has never been a time of more frustration, mental, and physical crackups, broken… Continue

THE DEVIL’S WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION

Praise God all saints of God and I pray that all is well with you in your families, business, relationships, marriages, ministries, academics and in your callings.

I strongly believe that God has done miracles already after having prayed with me in the other prayer of “The prayer for every struggling child of God”

But I still want to caution you and share with you about the weapons of mass destruction that the devil has planted to destroy the focus and faith of believers.

What… Continue

All Of The Lies Of Satan

James 1: 21, 22, “Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and

receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye

doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”

Jesus doesn’t care about sin. He doesn’t about divorce or gambling or pornography; He doesn’t care about drunkenness or lying or homosexuality or abortion. He doesn’t care about the truth of His Holy Word. Jesus just wants to… Continue

Serena Essapour - People -- Life -- God

I find it interesting that we live in such a world. We have such knowledge, such technologies, such potential -- and yet we argue, our visions are skewed, and we increasingly start lacking compassion & empathy for one another. I believe that God loves everyone -- we are His children, we are His lambs...regardless of who we are and what we've done, He forgives us as long as we ask for the forgiveness...and as long as we truly accept our faults, and learn. Rather than worrying about God and… Continue

Serena Essapour -- Life

What is life about? Life is such a beautiful place to be in . . . . Many unfortunately get discouraged about it-- but what they don't know or realize is that life is full of surprises. Life is honestly like a never ending roller coaster ride that spins and takes you on a journey never to be forgotten. Hurdles, challenges, problems arise -- but it's okay because there is no hurdle that is unsurpassable. I believe that all individuals have the potential and capability to do anything their heart… Continue

Hurting

Everyday is starting to be more challenging then the next. I am turning to God and hoping that some releif will come my way. My relationship is still on rocky paths. I feel like everything i am doing is wrong. I feel like i am out to please everyone but my self... It is becoming to the point I want to give up. I am trying to focus on the positive though I have encountered so much negative I am really trying to out weight the good and focus on my over all happiness. It seems that my love one… Continue

THE MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE!

Oh God! Our minds are so twisted and inter-twined with fear, pain, doubt. How do you relate to 'souls' whose minds are a 'tangled ball of hairy mess?' That's what God showed me one day, in my prayer time. I asked Him to show me what He wanted me to see.This was before I had even gone into the jail for the first time.

I was sitting in my office praying and waiting for Him to speak. All of a sudden,I saw myself with a 'ball' of hair on my head and it was a ball of tan-

gled hair,… Continue

A POINTLESS SWORD - WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

When God calls a man or a woman, He makes their mouth like a "sharp sword" (Isaiah 49:2). They become a moral power in the hand of the Holy Spirit. He uses their words to pierce consciences & cut & lay open the hearts of men. POINTLESS SPEECH is NO SPEECH for the true minister of God. Nowadays, many want to break off the POINT of the SWORD and be cute! God didn't call you to be cute, but to cut! LEAVE THE SWORD ALONE!

In Ephesians 6:17, the Apostle Paul admonished all… Continue

24/7 Emergency Assistance…call now

The other day while driving to work I was having one of my infamous drive- time conversations with God. This particular morning I was focusing on how I try to control my life in a lot of ways instead of giving it up to God. I often forget that I can call on Him. I said a quick prayer for God to send me reminders he is always there for me and I’m not alone.

I looked over at a utility van beside me at the red light and saw a slogan on it that said “24/7 Emergency Assistance Available “. I… Continue
