CHOSEN is a powerful song that touches the heart of many. The biblical definition is one who is the object of choice or of divine favor: an elect person. With attention to this meaning, as born-again believers, we can add CHOSEN to our title as a CHILD OF GOD. I am an elect person; a CHILD loved by the FATHER. [Eph 1:5 KJV] 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure…
Paul Baloche Hallelujah! HE IS RISEN. Jesus arose to provide the opportunity for us to become CHILDREN OF GOD. Hallelujah and Amen. He laid down HIS life and ROSE again to fulfill the FATHER’s plan for His life. Easter has arrived. And for Christians, it is a time to celebrate what JESUS did for us on the cross. Hence, a time to praise and worship our King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. What it is NOT is a time…
BETWEEN THE PRAYER AND THE ANSWER brought tears to my eyes. To clarify, God knows what we need before we pray. He is a GOD of LOVE that hears our prayers and immediately goes to work to provide the answer with a miracle or THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE!!! As a result, that still small voice is GOD directing us to answer a prayer. Hallelujah and Amen! GOD IS GOOD, all the time, AND all the time, GOD IS GOOD. HIS LOVE leads…
FORGIVENESS is a powerful word. It is hard to give when you are in the midst of the storm. A time when emotions rule instead of logic. It is truly the hardest thing to give away. INSPIRATION This is the amazing story of Forgiveness, with capital letters. Can a woman forgive the man who killed her daughter? This woman could, and she felt so liberated that she now is helping the man. This impressive story was the inspiration for Christian singer…
NewsBoys WE BELIEVE is another powerful song that brought tears to my eyes; it expresses my own personal BELIEFS. And as the pattern continues, this song reminded me of the movie GOD’s NOT DEAD 2 where the BELIEF in the lyrics sparked a court battle to defend a teacher’s RIGHT to BELIEF in her FAITH to share JESUS. INSPIRATION We have a lot of flavors in this record, and I think “We Believe” says, all that aside, this is who we are….
I CHOOSE CHRIST is a powerful statement! It declares to the WORLD our decision to FOLLOW JESUS; the ONE who gave HIS LIVE FOR ME. Written by Sue C. Smith, Gerald Crabb & Jason Cox/arr. David T. Clydesdale – Brentwood-Benson Publishing, it is a powerful song of testimony. When we find ourselves in a place of despair, with no hope in sight, it is there that Christ works all things for our good. Therefore, CHOOSE is a word that changes lives. What we CHOOSE can bless or…
MY JESUS was inspired by a personal tragedy for Ann Wilson. Anne Wilson and her family experienced a devastating tragedy. A hopeless situation forced Anne to evaluate who God really is. She had to make a decision if she believed God and if she could trust Him even when it didn’t make sense. Through processing this life event and learning to worship through hardship, God led Anne on a different journey than she expected. He is giving her the opportunity…
This post is an expansion of my reply to a question from a fellow disciple about “binding and loosing.” Those who truly fear the Lord, speak to one another often and think upon His name (Malachi 3:16). People who don’t fear the Lord, make up excuses why they “can’t” do His will and produce good fruit (Matthew 25:14-18, 19-24, 25-30). The simple fact that you are reading this, makes me think that you have included yourself in the “fear of…
I WON’T LET GO touched my heart. It is a reminder that GOD will not let go of us. We are His. As the Holy Spirit leads me, and I obey, I am BLESSED by the songs. The lyrics and the scriptures of this song, I WON’T LET GO, touched my heart. GOD WON’T LET GO of you and me. And the WORD confirms it continually! The story behind the song written by Jason Sellers and Steve Robinson and sung…
How do you encourage someone who is in prison? Or any kind of bondage? I have a prison ministry right from my laptop in my recliner in my home office! Jesus said that we would do greater works (John 14:12). You Can Start A Prison Ministry Jesus has given each and every one of us the opportunity to be filled with His Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18) and the knowledge of Him (Colossians 1:9). Through technology, we can travel through time…
