God Hears My Prayers

GOD Hears My Prayers 10 Promises that  God hears, God knows, God sees, God cares... God is with me.        I am not alone.  "And remember, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matt. 28:20b).    2. God hears my prayers . "On the day I called, You answered me; and strengthened me in my soul" (Psalm 138:3).      3.  God will give me the endurance I need. "He gives power to the faint, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall" (Isa. 40:29-30).     4. God's love will never leave me . "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present nor things to come, neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Rom. 8:38-39)...

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...

Forgive, Because You Have Been Forgiven

Forgive. You've Been Forgiven. Mornings are a great time to pray, the earlier, the better because the house is quiet and the demands for my attention are just about nil. Not only that but, biblically, there is a clear precedent throughout the Word of God that establishes a model of rising early and having a designated place to pray. It is the way we should plan to meet with God every day. One early morning I did just that. I met with the Lord in prayer. During my prayer time, I vividly remember the Lord saying, through the inward whisper of the Holy Spirit, I want you to go to Bethany and ask her for forgiveness. For what Lord? , I said. I've done nothing to her. Why should I have to go? I won't. He said, I want you to go and ask Bethany to forgive you. I continued to reason, But, Lord, it's not me, it's her. I don't have anything against her. You will go , He said. Yes, Lord, I will go. For if you forgive men when they sin ag...

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!" ...

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. ...
