He Made Haste And Came Down… At what point in time are we saved? It is during baptism, it is during a moment when the Lord, Jesus Christ, comes to us in secret or can it be anytime during our life, like playing golf or walking down the street? Could we be up a tree and before we climb down we are saved? Saul was saved while traveling to Damascus or was he saved, transformed, after he went to Ananias’ house? Was Saul saved at the moment the scales were…

Get Wisdom, Get Understanding… As a youth it seems many people have encounters with the Lord. After speaking with a great many people over the past year there has been an almost 100% sharing of an encounter with the Lord, Jesus Christ, while young in age. The men that have shared this have done so in confidence and with the understanding their anonymity would be preserved, therefore, allowing them to speak freely. Jesus Christ wanted the little children to be brought to Him and it seems that if they are…

He Blesses The Home Of The Just… We are not here to judge others. The life a person lives is of their choosing and none of our business. Followers and believers of Jesus Christ are here to share the Living Word and help others to drink deeply of Living Water. Sharing the Good News with those who are willing to open their ears and open their eyes. If a person is living outside the law and living in sin are we to stop them? Are we to make them to…

Understanding Will Keep You… We are sinners. We are told, in the Holy Bible, we are sinners. We are told this again and again. Why are we constantly reminded of who and what we are? After being a person in the flesh for sixty years it is clear that sin is a big part of everyday life. It is difficult to live more than a few minutes, or a few hours, without separating from God, at least for a moment. This brings us to the purpose of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)…

Without Fear Of Evil… In our brokenness we are like fools. We have turned from wise Counsel and placed our feet on the track of evil. The more we move towards evil and live with evil the deeper the pit becomes. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, Let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; And whole, as those that go down into the pit: We shall find all precious substance, We shall fill…

Anointed You With The Oil Of Gladness… When we think of Jesus Christ as the Lord, the King of kings, what does that look like? As the King of all kings He would be sitting on a throne and dressed in the finest of garments. Yes? We should all have our “image” of Jesus Christ so that when we visit with Him there is someone there for us to converse. But, when we see Jesus as the King, would that be a completely different image or would it be the…

Turn To Me With All Your Heart… If you spend time, as you should, studying, reading the Bible there is, or so it seems, a thread that runs through a great portion of all the writings. With as many Prophets, Disciples and Apostles as contributed to the Bible one would think… how could this be? “Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” ~ Joel 2:12 NKJB We see this time and again – “…the Lord says turn to…

And Let Me Not Be Ashamed Of My Hope… Keeping our heart, mind and soul clear of unclean spirits and unclean thoughts is a key element in staying in close contact with God. If our heart is leading us in ways that make our feet point towards evil, well, that might keep us from being in contact with God. Same with our mind, which is where most of the attacks, from the devil, originate. The devil has been working on his craft almost as long as God has been working…

He Will Spare The Poor and Needy… Poor in Spirit shall be blessed, but the poor’ soul will not be saved. This is a contradiction in statement. In Psalm 72 David speaks of the poor and the needy as two different people. First we find David speaking of the poor as someone in need of justice He will judge Your people with righteousness, And Your poor with justice. ~ Psalm 72:2 NKJB Then David, again, in verse 4 of Psalm 72 David first mentions the poor and the needy as…

Because This Was In Thine Heart… When we live in the will of the Lord, seek first His Kingdom and place the Lord our God as our priority the Lord blesses our lives in ways that we are not familiar. We may go bed one night a pauper and awaken, with no effort of our own, with gold and silver as plentiful as stones on the ground. This is how the Lord, our God, works in the lives of those who follow, those who obey and those who believe. When…
