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…
All Means All The Bible plainly tells us that it is the goodness of God that leads people to repentance (Romans 2:4). The devil wants us to blame God for theft, murder, and destruction. Jesus plainly tells us in John 10:10 these come from the devil. God wants you to know that you already have access to and can experience the unlimited promises of God unto the glory of God! For all the promises of God in [Jesus] are yea, and in…
Romans 12 starts out telling us to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God. Paul goes on to say that this is our “reasonable service.” Thank God verse two starts with the word “and,” because it is frustrating to hear a command in the Bible, and not know how to obey it. But Be Transformed We present ourselves as a living sacrifice the same way we don’t conform to this world. We renew our minds. God gives…
According to Romans 10:4, Christ is the end of performance for righteousness for those who believe. However many believers still approach God based on their performance. This is because of deception from the enemy of God and His church! The church is being so caught up in the busyness of dead works to please men and look good to the world that we are not being discipled. We are not seeking first God’s kingdom and His righteousness! I used to…
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…
When I was born again in 2008, the love of God was almost overwhelming. As an adult, I had only been to church pretty much as a CEO: Christmas and Easter Only. I certainly had no idea that Jesus literally meant what He said in Mark 11:24, “Whatever things you desire, believe you have received them when you pray, and you shall have them.” Later, I started attending a church, and I did become focused on trying so hard to…
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…
Who is Jesus talking to? In “Luke 10:18, Jesus was talking to the “the seventy” of His disciples that had “returned again with joy.” The disciples had said, “Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through your name,” Jesus is telling them, “That’s no big deal, Satan fell from heaven like lightning.” Satan is a defeated foe. Jesus tells these same disciples in the very next verse, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,…
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29 He is Brought as a Lamb to the Slaughter In Isaiah 53:7, Jesus is described as a lamb being brought to the slaughter. Isaiah prophesied about Jesus hundreds of years before Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and took away the sin of the world through His death, burial, and resurrection. Jesus is the Perfect Lamb of God And remember, when someone brought a lamb in the Old…
The very first thing God said to Adam and Eve after He created them in His own image and blessed them was “Be fruitful and multiply.” That’s exactly right. God blessed them and told them to be prosperous! Hallelujah! Money is Not Evil Money and material possessions are actually amoral. Along with television and other technologies and materials, money can be used for good or evil. Money is a tool. The Bible says that the love of money is the…
