The Lord says that in this world we will have trouble.  We live in a fallen world. He gave us free will, and some use their free will to the disadvantage of others, and then there is Satan who “Roams the earth seeking whom he may devour.” We, ourselves, also experience things we have done that we regret.  The Lord wants us to move on, go forward, and not look back. (Philippians 3:14) “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” He tells u

(Matthew 21:19) ‘ Seeing a fig tree by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, "May you never bear fruit again!" Immediately, the tree withered.”     When Jesus comes into your heart, and you truly surrender all to Him, self, self-righteousness, and self-works die, and His Spirit and the freedom and grace that come with His Spirit come alive in you!    (Galatians 5:16-18)  “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify th

In this world, you will face trouble, and there will be people who misuse their free will; others get hurt as a result. God promises justice.   (Romans 12:17-19) “Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.  If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.  Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but  rather  give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance  is  Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.” (Psalm 89:14) “Rig

Faith Sees in the Spirit First, Then It Manifests in the Natural! Have you been waiting for an answered prayer or healing and still have not received it? First (Matthew 6:10) “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” If you are expecting to see evidence first,  you will wait a long time.  Faith is spirit, and it comes from God. (Hebrews 11:6)  “But without faith  it is  impossible to please  Him,  for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and

(Mark 8:22-26) “Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him. So, He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything. And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.” Then He put  His  hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. Then He sent him away to his house, saying

In our neighborhood Bible study, we recently discussed the sovereignty of God.  That got me thinking; I always believed that God was sovereign, but He also gave us free will.   I never really delved into it, so I thought I would explore it further for this segment to help others. God is the One and only Creator; as a Christian, we can all agree on that.  In creating, He gave men free will. Why?  He says in the Bible that love must be sincere. (Romans 12:9-10)  “Love must be s

Is What You Do & Say Glorifying God?   (Colossians 3:12-17) “Therefore, as  the  elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also  must do.  But above all these things, put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in

(Psalm 46:10) “Be still, and know that I am God .”       Has life been hitting you hard in all directions?   Are problems bombarding you all at once?  You pray, read the Word, and seek answers, and all the while your mind is screaming constantly at you, reminding you of all your troubles.  There is trouble in every direction, and you see no way out.  You are confused and discouraged, and the answers are not there.  Is this your life right now?  Then get alone with God and be

(II Kings 4:8-17) " One day, Elisha went to Shunem, and a prominent woman who lived there persuaded him to have a meal. So whenever he would pass by, he would stop there to eat. Then the woman said to her husband, “Behold, now I know that the one who often comes our way is a holy man of God. Please let us make a small room upstairs and put in it a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him. Then, when he comes to us, he can stay there.” One day, Elisha came to visit and went

Believe in who you are and WHOSE you are; a child of the Most High God! El Shaddai! Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and he will not come with a sign; he will do it subtly, little by little. So we have to be aware of the devil's schemes. " Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." (I Peter 5:8) He will do it one rejection at a time, one disappointment, then another, and another. If we stay aler

Jesus and what He went through for all mankind defines what love is. " Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore, the world does not know us, because it did not know Him." (I John 3:1) People everywhere who reject the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior do so because they simply want to do their own will. They try to say that being a child of God, or a Christian, breeds hate. This is actually the complete opposite o
