Opportunities In Christ… Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. ~Hebrews 13:15-16 NKJB Being available is how we are to live. Holding onto Jesus Christ with an open hand shows love, respect and reverence for His love of us. We don’t hold Jesus with a clinched fist. When the bell rings and God ask…

The Power of Testimony… What do we know of Jesus Christ? What does an individual know about Jesus Christ? What each of us know is our own experience with Jesus Christ. Our personal relationship with our Lord and Savior that saved each person, individually. Pulled each one of us from the fire, placed our feet on solid rock and ask only that we share what happened with as many people as possible. The mystery of God is always being revealed to us, as long as we are paying attention, seeking,…

Do You Believe This… Today is the day the Lord made. We raise Him up and glorify His mighty works in us, through us and around us. Without His mighty hand touching our lives we would fall, our strength would not sustain our lives. Holy Week. He is risen! He is here to remove sin from this world. Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, came down to earth to be with us, to teach us and to heal us. During His first visit He did mighty wonders, signs of glory…

Each Member of The Church… And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. ~Colossians 1:18 NKJB We are, each born-again Christian, a member of the church, the body of Christ. It has been said the church means: body of the saved. Either these things we believe or we don’t. As a member of the body of Christ, the body of the saved, we are to bring our gifts to the…

Prayer Is A Most Powerful Weapon… These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. ~Acts 1:14 NKJB The great features…the great happenings in the Book of Acts are always linked to prayer. We are about to have, literally, heaven invade earth in the upper room. What proceeded…ten days of prayer. I like to put this way…before heaven ever invaded earth, earth invaded heaven for ten days. ~Bill Johnson, Bethel Church See what happens just after…

Passing Through Normal… The good news is the wild maniacal swings are long past. The bad news is the swings from high to low still exist. As the pendulum swings from side to the other it passes through normal. It’s rare that it hangs around very long, but on occasion it will stick for a few hours and sometimes up to a few days. The problem is prayer. Not that prayer is a problem, the lack of prayer is the problem. We are designed to be in a constant state…

Crumbs Topple The Cross… Where does the devil live? Most, if not all of us, have grown up with the saying ” the devil is in the details”. Well, when a person is attempting to get their life straight, meet God and set their feet on solid rock what matters during confession? Details…the little things. The “big three” – alcohol, drugs and pornography – are fairly simple to come clean – fairly simple once Step 3 has been fully accepted. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives…

Challenging God… Should we challenge God? Should we look at His great works, His great gifts and question them? Should we push back His mercy, grace and redemption? Can freedom be found in these challenges? We think not. When a person wakes up one day and has a thought that something is profoundly wrong with their life and it is their responsibility alone to change everything – everything, from the ground up must be changed. Not only should it be changed, it should be made opposite of its current state.…

Laying It All Down… When do we finally “lay it at the foot of the Cross”? How does that happen? Deep seeded sadness, unseen scars that have yet to heal or pain that rarely provides a moments rest. Where do we “lay it down”? What Cross? Where does this Cross reside? “However the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: ‘Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me? says the Lord, Or what is the…

Why Do We Serve… For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.” ~Hebrews 6:10 KJB For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. ~Galatians 5:13 NKJB Serving with a glad heart and singing praise to the glory of God is how we expose ourselves to His will in our lives.…
