Do you know your enemy? Football coaches and players study the teams they are planning to compete with. Warriors send in spies to study the enemy and report back to make battle plans. Christians have a lot of information recorded for them in the Bible about who the enemy is and what he is up to. The Bible is a progressive revealing of Jesus, His will, and thanks to the enemy and our rebellion, God’s plan of redemption! None of…
Here I Am – Aurvile Rodrigues HERE I AM; SEND ME ISAIAH 6:8 ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. YOUWILLWANTTO.COM has blessed my life. Starla Bice’s invitation to write articles for her website, her “HERE AM I; SEND ME” moment, has opened my eyes to the power of Biblical MUSICAL VIDEOS. They bring the WORD to LIFE and stir…
The Holy Spirit speaks to me with words – sometimes one word, sometimes a scripture and sometimes in relation to a VIDEO/SONG. The Holy Spirit directs me to the videos which result in articles > The Anchor Holds. The words he spoke to me this time > Crucified with Christ. GALATIANS 2:20 I am CRUCIFIED with CHRIST; nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live…
When I got born again (John 3:3,7, 1 Peter 1:23) in 2007/08 I was a fat mess! Literally! I weighed 230-250 pounds easily. I had been overweight or fighting it for most of my life. Our family of six lived in a three-bedroom single-wide mobile home on someone else’s property. I was a straight HEATHEN! I didn’t want to be a heathen. My mother and grandmother raised me, and I was not raised by heathens. My wonderful husband was not…
In the middle of the night, the Holy Spirit woke me to his Psalm. And that awakening led me to his VIDEO and to make Psalm 23 personal. PSALM 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.2 He maketh ME to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth ME beside the still waters.3 He restoreth MY soul: he leadeth ME in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with ME; thy rod and thy staff…
We don’t really need to be reminded that life is hard. The Bible tells us that in this life we will have trials and tribulations. I had believed for years that those trials and tribulations came from God as a way of teaching us a lesson or punishment for not living up to His standards. Now I am so thankful that I know that God wants to use His Word to teach us. And He lets us know that we have a real enemy that…
When I saw the title of this song, it immediately drew me in. I had to press the PLAY button. From the beginning to the end of this song, my emotions went on a roller coaster ride of memories of Psalm 34:17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. There are 100 BIBLE VERSES relating to the phrase FALL ON MY KNEES related to PRAYER. Reading through the 100 opened my eyes…
FOLLOW ME, two words that change lives forever! FOLLOW: to follow after; so to follow one as to be always at his side. WOW! Always at his side. What a powerful statement. These two words took me on a journey through the New Testament to discover to whom he spoke these two LIFE CHANGING WORDS. Jesus said, FOLLOW ME, 11 times in the New Testament to a variety of people: Simon Peter, Andrew, Matthew, Philip, Nathanael, a certain scribe, disciples, to the people and my…
The Holy Spirit speaks to me from WORDS on a page. For this post, the word was ARMOUR. And that word led me to the question, “Where is your armour?” Seeking the answer to this question led me down a path of new understanding and revelations of what is MINE in CHRIST through HIS ARMOUR. Then, I was led to this song with the title THE ARMOUR. THE ARMOUR – The lyrics touched my heart >> And the best way to get back…
The following verses are really just shocking! Matthew 4:5,8 each makes the statement that the devil takes Jesus up! But the Holy Spirit didn’t “take” Jesus; He led Him. How did the devil take Jesus anywhere? In His mind? Maybe. But, the Holy Spirit physically led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. I am thankful Jesus’ example is recorded in the Bible because now I know how to submit to God who does NOT force Himself…
