Today is already a very happy birthday for me. It is actually already the best and most happy birthday I have ever had. Before I can tell you how awesome this day is already, I must tell you about the month-long battle that has been raging in my mind. Everybody is Going Through Something! First, I know that we are all at war. We are all going through something because Jesus Himself tells us that in this world we will…
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…
Why did Jesus say “Get behind Me, Satan” when He was rebuking Peter? I thought God is love (1 John 4:8), and love is patient and kind (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)! But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind me Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. Mark 8:33, Matthew 16:23 Love is Kind “Get behind me Satan!” was the kindest thing Jesus could have said to Peter! Peter was being deceived by the enemy and trying to get…
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!…
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…
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…
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…
In 2 Corinthians 13:5, Paul reminds his readers that Jesus Christ is in them unless they are reprobates. Paul commands us to examine for ourselves whether or not we are in the faith. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). I used to think that to examine myself meant to examine what a wretched sinner I am and stay in a constant state of repentance. If God chooses to remember my sin no more (Hebrews 8:12), and…
I just finished a lesson in Power Academy about hearing God’s voice. This is a powerful lesson and clears up so much confusion about the various ways to hear him! You can hear God’s voice! Let Transformation Begin Ashli and Carlie Terradez have been and continue to be instrumental in transforming my life through their testimonies and ministering God’s word. I “met” Carlie over a decade ago through some healing material Wesley had ordered. I was so young in the…
