Hope in the coming storm



David gives us a clear picture of Jesus’ attitude in the face of the coming

storm. He speaks prophetically of Christ, saying, “I foresaw the Lord always

before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved” (Acts

2:25). The literal meaning here is, “I was always in his presence, beholding

his face.” David quoted Jesus as saying, “Therefore did my heart rejoice,

and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope” (2:26).

Cowboy Joe (Joke)

Cowboy Joe was telling his fellow cowboys back on the ranch about his first visit to a big-city church. 



"When I got there, they had me park my old truck in the corral," Joe began. 



"You mean the parking lot," interrupted Charlie, a more worldly fellow. 



"I walked up the trail to the door," Joe continued. 



"The sidewalk to the door," Charlie corrected him. 



"Inside the door, I was met by this dude," Joe went on. 



"That would be the…

JUST FOR TODAY: Are you Peaceful and Complete?

JUST FOR TODAY: God designed us to live in close communion with Him. Come to the Lord Jesus and rest in His peace. We are constantly seeking the hand of God, but for His Peace, we must seek His FACE! That is when the shining rays of His Peace that "passes all understanding" come into our lives. We will never have all the answers, but we can relax in the Presence of the one who does. Would you like to feel Peaceful and…

Rely Not on man - God Speaks



My children, I warn you not to rely on man. Man will fail you when you least expect it, because he is not reliable. Do not blame Me, when you relied on man and he failed you. Some of you have learned that lesson at a price, through much suffering and others will still learn. You will learn out of what you suffer when you rely on man and not on Me. I am trustworthy and My promises never fail. What I have promised, I will fulfill, but at My time. I am in control, everything belongs to…

KNOWING YOUR IDENTITY

Christians must stay alert with regard to the Enemy. When we are reading the Word, praying, and spending time with other believers, good protection is in place. By reading & memorizing scripture & putting it in action, we have truth in our hearts to shield us against deception. In addition, we will be submitting ourselves unto God & we can tell satan to flee in the name of Jesus Christ!

Are you in a vulnerable position where the adversary has easy access to you (be honest)?…

Trust-He Knows Whats Best!



"The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised!" Job 1:21 {Many ppl think that believing in God protects them from trouble, so when calamity comes, they question God's goodness and justice. But you should NOT give up on God because He allows you to have bad experiences. Faith in God does not guarantee personal prosperity, lack of faith does not guarantee troubles in life. If it were so people would believe in God just to get rich. God is capable of…

Where do you keep Jesus?

Acts 7:45-50

"Having received the tabernacle, our fathers under Joshua brought it with them when they took the land from the nations God drove out before them. It remained in the land until the time of David, who enjoyed God's favor and asked that he might provide a dwelling place for the God of Jacob. But it was Solomon who built the house for him. However, the Most High does not live in houses made by men.…

Distractions? "Just turn away"



Many challenges we face in life are simply distractions from the enemy to keep us from pursuing our destiny. Maybe someone in the office isn't as friendly as you'd like. Maybe you have a neighbor who always parks in front of your mailbox. Those things may be frustrating, but they have little significance when you look at the big picture of eternity. You can't allow the little things to cause strife in your life.

In scripture, just before David fought Goliath, his brother Eliab tried…

Gods plan for you!



The God we serve is not a small God. His plan for your life is not for you to reach one level, get stuck and stay there for 30 or 40 years. His plan is to increase you, open new doors before you, and take you places that you've never imagined. He has something big in your future! He's already planned out big breaks, big opportunities and big ideas for you. You may have seen God's goodness in the past, but you have not touched the surface of what God has in your future. God is about to…

Seed-Time-Harvest=EXPECTATIONS



We have been taught wrongly for so long, being told that when we give, not to EXPECT anything back. 

This is not correct. Because if that was so, then why does GOD give us the principle of SEED-TIME-HARVEST? ""PLEASE SEARCH THESE SCRIPTURES"" (Gen.8:22)..(Eph.3:20)..(2 Cor.9:6-8)..(Mal. 3:10-12)..(Gal.6:7-9)..(Lk.6:38) & So on. 



Im guilty of being a giver & not EXPECTING anything back & so i often lack a lot of times! You see Its not that we arent to EXPECT…

Waiting on God



Think about how impatient we get when we have to wait on God. We often think waiting is a waste of time. When we wait we think were doing nothing. Waiting serves many purposes. It proves how much faith we really have. Those who are weak give up easy,while those who are strong are willing to wait as long as it takes. When we read in Luke 2 we see Simeon and Anna waited a long time, but their time wasnt wasted,it put them in place to be a witness to Jesus birth.v22-38 Not receiveing an…
