Now that we have God's approval by faith, we have peace with God because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done. Through Christ we can approach God and stand in his favor. So we brag because of our confidence (hope) that we will receive glory from God. But that's not all. We also brag when we are suffering. We know that suffering creates endurance, endurance… Continue

I don't want Satan to outwit us. After all, we are not ignorant about Satan's scheming 2Cor 2:11
The enemy knows who and what you are to God. It knows what we are good at better, then we know most of the time. So it will work hard at making us feel insecure, in areas we are the most threat to it. Or, it will try to allure us into… Continue

We all have something to offer each other. Yes, we can all pray for each other, and have kind words but, there is more. We each have a view of God, an aspect of Him others need to know. When the Body is as One, the world has a greater understanding of God. To be able to share God w/ others is good. When we show each other in the Body, the aspect of Jesus that we each possess, is step one. Step two is, accept one… Continue

Faith holds on to the knowledge of our Righteousness, which is in God through Christ Jesus
This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Rom 3:22-24
The more I… Continue

In John 3:22-36, we are given a clear picture about who John the Baptist was, and how he saw himself and Jesus. John draws the image beautifully for us. Jesus at one side of the river, and His disciples were baptizing people. John in another part of the river and he was baptizing. Many times when the enemy attacks, it is sutler, this was not one of those times. The enemy was clearly trying to get jealously going in John’s heart. As w/ most… Continue

This is the day that the Lord has made. Let’s rejoice and be glad today. Ps 118:24
This is a choice we make, in the face of trouble. Yes, we all have times when, it feels like life has chosen to take us out, to eliminate us. However, the Truth is that today, this day He has made. We have a choice to make, will we be angry… Continue

We struggle at times, who are we, how should we be w/ others? Yes, we know the scriptures, Phil 2:2-3 Then fill me with joy by having the same attitude and the same love, living in harmony, and keeping one purpose in mind. Don't act out of selfish ambition or be conceited. Instead, humbly think of others as being better than yourselves.… Continue

8 Brothers and sisters, we don't want you to be ignorant about the suffering we experienced in the province of Asia. It was so extreme that it was beyond our ability to endure. We even wondered if we could go on living. 9 In fact, we still feel as if we're under a death sentence. But we suffered so that we would stop… Continue

I was shown a simple Truth. It is not so much what we are believing for, it is in the exercising of Faith. Faith and using it is, the most important thing. We read not to judge others, then people in our life give us opportunity not to judge. God gives us practice work.
Practice what you've learned and received from me, what you… Continue

In the Aramaic Bible in Plain English John 4:44 For Yeshua had been testifying that a Prophet is not honored in his city. Then in Matthew 13:54-58 54 And he came to his city and he taught them in their synagogues so that they would marvel and they would say, “From where does he have this… Continue

He will continue to say what, He knows you need to hear. He weighs the heart; A person thinks everything he does is right, but the LORD weighs hearts. Pro 21:2 When you finally are humble before Him. No more reasons why, you can not surrender all to Him. It is then that you begin. All the people who Jesus healed, it was after they had accepted Him and who He Is. When Jesus… Continue

I want to become the invisible man. As I follow the steps, obey the teaching, I will be no more. Only speak what I have heard; what I have been shown and told to share. Only do what I have been taught. That is the goal, you know. It is not a cookie cutter kind of thing. I am only one expression of Him. We will not be the same. My purpose is not the same as yours. Our reason for being, is the same. We are born of the same.…

Mark 4:35-41 35 "That evening, Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's cross to the other side." 36 Leaving the crowd, they took Jesus along in a boat just as he was. Other boats were with him. 37 A violent windstorm came up. The waves were breaking into the boat so that it was quickly filling up. 38 But he was sleeping on a cushion in the back of the boat. So they woke him up and said to him,… Continue

It is never the big attacks from the enemy that do the most damage. We prepare ourselves for those. When they come we know how to stand and wield our swords. Our shields at the ready, for the flaming darts of the enemy. No, those are not the ones, to can cripple us. But it’s those from w/in the camp, caused by a slight or completely by mistake. Another took something wrong, so they then feel justified and empowered to… Continue

If you were to ask Christians, “Does God know what is best for you?” I think we can all agree that “yes” would be the correct answer. And I believe we would answer the question, w/o much time elapsed. “Do you obey God?” Once again, “yes” would be the best answer however, more time maybe taken to give it. “Do you trust God?” All these questions and many more like them to sound redundant. Yet, I propose we should ask them,… Continue

Some people appear to go out of their way to offend others. They love to shock and do not care of the ramifications of their offence, and how it can render some insecure. Many use these techniques to manipulate individuals. “to keep others in their place.” Imposing restrictions they themselves feel entitled not to be under. “You don’t have the right brand of jeans, car, or whatever. So you can’t be one of us!!” Even to the… Continue
