The Lord is Gracious

Comments 2 comments

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…

My Salvation Story

Comments 0 Comment

I tried reading the Bible for years before I heard the gospel spelled out for me in a way that I could understand. The Bible did not make any sense to me, and I did not understand how to be saved or even what that meant! This is my salvation story. Various religious-looking people had crossed my path, but no one could help! They had no life in them to give me! They were religious hypocrites too. We were deceived!…

A Living Sacrifice

Comments 0 Comment

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…

DEAD WORKS

Comments 0 Comment

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

Comments 0 Comment

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…

BELIEVE YOU HAVE RECEIVED

Comments 0 Comment

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…

All Power Is Given: Matthew 28:18

Comments 2 comments

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…

LUKE 10:18 SATAN FELL FROM HEAVEN.

Comments 0 Comment

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,…

He Gives Seed to the Sower

Comments 0 Comment

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…

God Blessed Them and Told Them to be Prosperous!

Comments 0 Comment

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…
