Isn’t it much easier to say “Don’t worry” than to do it! This is especially true for those who don’t realize we are in a spiritual battle. I am writing this with a heavy heart and so much running through my head. Watching “Stop Worry From Choking Your Assignment” (May 23, 2021), by Pastor Tafara Butayi, Faith Hill Church, a nondenominational, bible-believing church based in Johannesburg, South Africa, helped tremendously. Obviously, there is a reason I chose this title. I…
We can know and prove the will of God.
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. – Rom 12:2 KJV”
Prayer is a misunderstood and daunting task for many. Therefore, this Prayer Journal page is a quick resource and reference. Have confidence in praying biblical prayers. Jesus taught His disciples to pray to “our Father” and to pray in His name and His will. Prayer is Powerful Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; – Ephesians 6:18 KJVAnd this I pray, that your love may abound…
Peter tells us that the cares of this world are temporary, but the word of God is eternal (1 Peter 1:25). We can lay wrong thinking aside and taste that the Lord is gracious. Desire more of Him and His word like a newborn baby wants milk. Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 1 Peter 2:1-3 A Growing Baby Desires Milk The only time you will see a crying newborn baby…
Fourteen verses in the King James Bible specifically say that grace and peace are from God the Father and His Son Jesus. This exhortation is specifically from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. The authors of these letters are being inspired by God, the Holy Spirit, to encourage the church. God wants us to know His grace and peace are being poured out or lavished upon us! Wow! “Grace be to you and peace from God our Father…
Addiction is real. Whether it’s food, sex, drugs, alcohol, etc. It is miserable and it is real. The good news is that if you are struggling with addiction, you can stop fighting addiction today, right now. It’s Not All In Your Head When I began studying Dr. Jason Fung’s books about Diabetes and Obesity and other dietary diseases, I began finding out that our bodies react to our actions. When Dr. Fung explained that we are not fighting willpower but…
Hearing the Word (Romans 10:14-17). Wesley and I have both been fighting some pretty big giants these past couple of weeks, and the enemy has been coming on strong with doubt and unbelief! Thankfully, we have learned what to believe and how to fight by hearing the word. Hallelujah! Always remember that anything the devil brings against God’s children to kill, steal, and destroy, our Father is not only greatly desiring to protect us from but also to kick Satan’s…
Jesus was crucified and buried and had risen. Then the disciples met Him in Galilee, and Jesus says, “All power is given: Matthew 28:18.” After Mary Magdalene and the other Mary had followed Jesus’ rich disciple, Joseph of Arimathea to lay Jesus in his tomb. The distraught women continued sitting against the tomb after Joseph rolled the stone against the opening and left. But, at the beginning of dawn on the first morning of the week, the women returned to…
In July of 2019, Wesley and I lost 60% of our income. Wesley will be sharing the story about having a stroke, but I want to focus on 2 Corinthians 9:10: “Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, (NKJV).” That’s right! He gives seed to the sower just as soon as you decide in your heart to become one and ask! Who Supplies the Seed? I was…
In John 15:2, Jesus says that the branch that bears fruit will be purged that it may bring forth more fruit. “Ouch!” By the world’s definition and by many Christians’ interpretation that sounds painful. Purge means “to cleanse.” It Means Cleanse The very next verse says that we are cleansed through the word that Jesus has spoken to us (John 15:3). That lines up with 2 Timothy 3:16-17 which says all scripture is good for teaching and equipping the saints…
