One of the most effective hindrances Satan uses against believers is distraction . Satan can veer the believer from a growing personal relationship with Jesus to activities that may or may not be good things . He can distract the believer from victory in Jesus to fears about the future and regrets about the past . He can turn a heart from the grace and mercy of Christ to legalistic self-righteousness , from focus on God's glory to the pursuit of personal ambition…

Believers face temptation to conform to the world's perspective every day. The temptation to conform to the world is marketed well- abortion as choice, lust as freedom of expression, and greed as determination . Each believer must develop a keen eye for God's truth and then stand his or her ground against the world often feeling alone against the masses . The struggle can be exhausting ( 1 John 2: 15…

To get the manifested Presence of God , we must persevere as Jacob did . When God sees how determined and persistent we are to know Him , He will reveal Himself to us . Remember , He sent His Son Jesus to die for us that His people could be reconciled back to Him . He did all of this just to get close to us . Just think of what He will do for us if we go after Him !

(I pray ) that ( God ) would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to…

I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances . I know what it is to be in need , and I know what it is to have plenty . I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation , whether well fed or hungry , whether living in plenty or in want . I can do everything through him who gives me strength . ( PHILIPPIANS 4:11-13 )

Because you are sons , God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts , the Spirit who calls out , Abba , Father . '' So you are no longer a slave , but a son ; and since you are a son , God has made you also an heir ( GALATIANS 4 :6-7 ) . Lets also look at ( ROMANS 8;14-15 ) . It says those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God . For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear , but you received the Spirit…

If yon confess with your mouth , '' Jesus is Lord , '' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead , you will be saved . For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified , and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved . ( ROMANS 10  : 9 -10 } Believe in the Lord Jesus , and you will be saved - you and your household . ( ACTS 16 :31 ) . Let us look at ( JOHN 11 : 25 -26 )  Jesus said to her , '' I am the resurrection and the life . He who believes in me…

Jesus said, '' My sheep listen to my voice ; I know them , and they follow me . I give them eternal life , and they shell never perish ; no one can snatch them out of my hand . My Father , who has given them to me , is greater than all ; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand . ; ( JOHN 10:27 - 29 )

Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing , but let us encourage one another and all the more as  you see the Day approaching . ( HEBREWS 10:25 ) . And also ( COLOSSIANS 3:16 ) . Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom , and as you sing psalms , hymns and Spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God . Amen and God Bless you All .…

God reserves the right to choose those to whom He will reveal spiritual understanding . Sometimes one whom God so chooses may initially hold to views that oppose the truth , as did the apostle Paul . God miraculously called this man who had vigorously persecuted the early Christians , then opened his mind and used him as a powerful tool to reveal a wealth of spiritual truth and write much of what we know as the New Testament . God Bless you all and may the Lord our God keep his hands over…

Our first step is prayer, to humbly ask God for His help. This is the first vital key understanding His Word. God describes the kind of attitude and approach He respects: '' But on this one will I look : on him who is poor and of a contrite ( Repentant ) spirit, and who trembles at My word '' ( Isaiah 66:2 ) . Understanding God's Word is not a matter of superior intellect . God looks on the heart , our attitude and approach , to determine whether to give us understanding . The apostle Peter…

The Apostle Paul teaches how important 'thanksgiving' is to God as he writes to the church of Corinth. In Paul's letter to the Corinthians he states, '' Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness , which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. For the administration of this service not only supplieth the wants of the wants of the saints , but is also by many thanksgiving unto God; While by the of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection into the gospel of…

Obeying the , who has been sent by the Father in Jesus' name to guard, protect, and bring us into the knowledge of God. However , as we to obey Him , He will reveal the mysteries of God to us. God said in (Psalms 126:5-6 ) '' They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed shall, doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheave with him. " God bless you all this night and may the Lord our Lord always keep his light in you your family…

A church that wants to minister in the fullness of the Holy Spirit will follow the biblical mandate to , anoint them with oil, lay hands upon them, and trust God in  faith for healing . James admonished us, '' Confess your trespasses to one another, and one another, that you may be healed . The effective, fervent of a righteous man avails much '' ( James 5:16 ) . This verse clearly advises us to first take care of our sin problems and then believe God for healing . God bless you all and have…

Jesus said, '' When he, the of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. " ( John 16;13) The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual man makes judgments about all things; but he himself is not subject to any man's ; '' For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may…

He did it in order to remove them from this holy place of peace, power, and fellowship with their Creator. After all, this was a place in God where Lucifer once dwelled. Ezekiel  say, ''You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, carnelian, topaz, and jasper, chrysolite, beryl, and onyx, sapphire, carbuncle, and emerald; and wrong in gold were your settings and your engravings. On the day you were created they were prepared. With an anointed guardian cherub I…

Christ pledge of heaven, ''Because I live, ye shall live also''; with all these promises, the love of Christ should be eagerly accepted by every soul throughout the world as the most magnificent mercy that even the power and love of heaven combined could grant sinful man. With all the  additional blessings the Savior provides for our home relations; love instead of hatred; happiness despite of poverty; joy even in sorrow, God bless you all and let us not forget to put God first in what ever…

As long as sin rules unchecked in any home, the forces of evil that many of you know only too well seek to banish peace by promoting selfishness lust, hatred, and a dozen other vices. Without Christ people often seem to live in a certain kind of harmony:  yet be sure of this: if the Savior is not accepted and acknowledged in our earthly homes, we shall never acknowledged and accepted in heaven With the  blessings Jesus offers; the complete forgiveness of purple vice and scarlet sin the free…

Unfortunately, we must go through the Wilderness if we want the manifested Presence of God. We are not willingly going but some times God will take us their. And He does that in order to get our attention. God through the prophet Hosea says. ''Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. ( Hosea 2:14 ). God knows this Wilderness is the only place where He can get our attention. So we must be lured there. God cause things to happen…

The word praise is often tied to the Hebrew word for dance, which means ''to whirl around.'' King David was know to dance before the Lord with all his might (2 Sam. 6:14). People may be observed jumping, running, and moving under the power of the Holy Spirit. Again, Scripture does not specify this is an activity found often in the church, but there is precedent for such happenings . When God touched the disabled legs of the beggar at the temple, the Bible tells us that Peter pulled the man…
