THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM...

Wonder what God thinks about this? When... The Easter Bunny is celebrated in place of the Passover Lamb. Children are taught Santa Clause is real but God is not. Santa Clause is taught to be supernatural, but Biblical miracles have passed away. The sick give their last dollar for a remedy while refusing to believe God wants to heal them. A spiritualist is real, but prophets don't exist today. Horoscopes are accurate but the Bible is not. Denominational doctrine is more important than the Holy Spirit. The consensus of an ethnic group is more important than God's Word. Soulish agendas are more important than respecting authority. Holiness and Righteousness are not valued in Christianity. The church winks at abominations. Perverted pastors lead the people. Human Trafficking actually has a customer (supply & demand). Millions of taxpayer dollars pay for discord in Congress. People would rather believe a lie than to believe the truth. The only truth...

It's Not What We Say, It's What We Do

It’s What We Do Our scripture verses for Today's Devotional are taken from 1 John 3:18 and James 2:14-26 . True love should reveal itself with practical acts of kindness. It’s very difficult to convince our unsaved loved ones or those we encounter in the workplace that Jesus is real unless we are willing to stretch out a hand of compassion, extending God’s love in a tangible way. 1 John 3:18 AMP Little children (believers, dear ones), let us not love [merely in theory] with word or with tongue [giving lip service to compassion], but in action and in truth [in practice and in sincerity, because practical acts of love are more than words]. James 2:14-26 NKJV 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body...

Choosing God’s Best

Our scripture verses for Today's Devotional  are taken from Jeremiah 29:11 and Deuteronomy 30:19 . Everyday life choices can be overwhelming, but God’s word promises that He orders the steps of the righteous. When God’s beloved filters facts and thoughts through His omniscient wisdom and unfailing love, the toughest decisions can be made with confidence and peace – knowing that He only wants the best for His children. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: When God says He's predestined our life, it does not mean that we are currently living out the good plans He has for us. The scriptures tell us over and over that we are agents of free will. So much...

Body, Soul and Spirit

Romans 8:1       There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.    Have you ever thought about who you are... what makes you tick... or, the core of your existence?  Have you sat and pondered the idea of life after death?  Maybe you've heard people speak of body, soul and spirit, but to you, this is merely a phrase that describes some type of spa experience alluding to total relaxation through meditation or pampering. Actually, human beings are made up of a SPIRIT who has a SOUL who lives in a BODY.  Initially, this may be too deep of a concept to grasp, but  once we fully understand these three aspects of our being, we can obtain a clearer understanding of how God's Word brings life to the total person. When God said, "Let us make man in our image," He was referring to the fact that man is a triune being in much the same way that G...

God Heals In Spite of Rebellion

Psalms 107:20 KJV "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from THEIR DESTRUCTIONS."  Did you know that God wants to  heal us from our own ignorant behaviors that have caused our sicknesses ?   Many years ago, I was seeking the Lord on how to pray for someone who was 70 years old and bleeding to death from an aneurysm. Was it right for me to pray for them to be healed? They had been an alcoholic their entire life... plus, they were old. Had they lived out their days? Was it their time to die? In my human heart, I even justified their demise because, after-all, they brought their suffering upon them self.   Anyway, as I desperately sought the Lord on this persons behalf, the Lord revealed to me that He wanted to heal them IN SPITE OF THEIR REBELLION.  Why?   Psalm 107:21 KJV "Oh  that men would praise the Lord for his goodness , and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" ...

How to be Forgiven & Born Again

JOHN 3:3 "Jesus answered and said unto him, 'Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.'" The Word of God teaches that unless we are "born-again" we cannot see the Kingdom of God. This means: · We cannot "live" in the Kingdom of God; · We cannot "receive the benefits" of the Kingdom of God; · We cannot "understand" the Kingdom of God; · And, we cannot have "eternal life" in God's Kingdom; ... Until we become a born-again Child of God. Being born-again is a supernatural experience that is - in some ways - much like that of being born from our mother's womb. The difference, of course, is that we are not physically born-again, but rather, spiritually transformed in our spirit man. When we were born from our mother's womb, we did not need to understand the process before we could enter this world. Yet, since the day of our na...

Who is God?

Dictionary: a god is one that is worshiped, idealized, or followed. So... who or what do  you  worship?  Who or what do  you  idealize?  Who or what do  you  follow?   Drugs Alcohol Yourself Money Pornography Fame Sexual Perversions The Culture Movie Stars Secret Sins Social Status Lie's The Devil  Tradition Unforgiveness Hatred Self-Righteousness Self-Condemnation Religion Your Own Opinions Your Parents Faith Your Career Spirits Agnostic Denominations Liberal Opinions that DO NOT line-up with God's Word Status Quo? Or, do you follow the One true God of the Universe?  AND...  Do you "do" what He says to do? Luke 6:46 says, "So why do you keep calling me 'Lord, Lord!' when you don't do what I say?"  So MANY people today are claiming to know "God," but they are not in a right relationship with Him. So, who is God anyway? He is holy. ...
