EVERLASTING LOVE!

The truth is the truth regardless of anyone's opinion that should try to contradict it. The question is what are you going to do about it? If you reject it you will stay in a state of bondage or deception. If you accept truth and apply truth to your life it will give you freedom and clarity. "Did you know this? You can be lied to; you can believe something to be true, but yet it's a lie. And that lie can get down into your spirit, and it can keep you goofed up and seeing things from the wrong point of view. You can remain wrong until it get plucked out and the right thing gets put inside your spirit." ~Robert Tilton ~ It is so important to know Truth intimately so that we don't believe a lie or so that we will reject a lie when we hear one or when it tries to impose itself on us. I am so convinced that so many of our recurring problems can be resolved if we just seek truth, know it, and apply it in our lives, hearts, and situations. When we believe a lie it...

I am constantly being reminded that we are in a Spiritual War -- our fight is not with flesh and blood (people) but it is with the devil and his demons (imps) -- powers, principalities, spiritual host of wickedness in heavenly places, rulers of darkness, etc. Our weapons are not carnal (of the flesh) -- 3 of our most powerful spiritual weapons are praise, prayer & the Word of God and we must speak the powerful Word of God and do what it says so we can overcome the enemy... For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of p...

This year has been an interesting year for me and so much as happened but through it all I have learned to trust in God more and more.  After all He has me in the palm of His hands, He holds my future, and He always does what is best for me and for His Glory!  I have so much to write about all the things that has happened this year but perhaps I shall do it a little at a time or not at all.  We shall see! However, I will say the first half of this year I was extremely busy and for the last couple of months or so I received the rest that God gave to me and I am grateful.  I will say that through it all He has been faithful, merciful, gracious, loving, kind, and so good to me.  I am nothing and no one without Him and I'm glad He is my Savior, My Friend, My Lord, My ALL... I learned something very very important this year and it is we must always be watchful and in prayer and put on the whole armor of God everyday because we are in a spiritual war ...

The Christian's Scriptural Identity and Position The following statements summarize your scriptural identity and position in Christ and form the foundation for your freedom in Christ. Read these statements aloud often. If you are presently involved in a spiritual conflict read these statements aloud at least once each day for a month.   Who Am I? Exodus I am Not the Great "I AM" (3:14; John 8:24, 28, 58), but by the grace of God, I am what I am (1Corinthians 15:10).   Matthew I am the salt of the earth (5:13). I am the light of the world (5:14).   John I am a child of God (1:12). I am part of the true vine, a channel of Christ's life (15:1, 5). I am Christ's friend (15:15). I am chosen and appointed by Christ to bear His fruit (15:16).   Romans I am a slave of righteousness (6:18). I am enslaved to God (6:22). I am a son of God; God is spiritually my Father (8:14, 15; Galatians 3:26; 4:6). I am an heir of God and joint heir with Christ, sharing in His suffe...

HOW DOES A PERSON RESPOND TO FALSE ACCUSATIONS? BIBLE READING: Daniel 6:1-28 KEY BIBLE VERSE: So they concluded, “Our only chance of finding grounds for accusing Daniel will be in connection with the requirements of his religion.” (Daniel 6:5) SILENCE IS OFTEN AN EFFECTIVE RESPONSE TO FALSE ACCUSATIONS. At this time, Daniel was over eighty years old and one of Darius’s top three administrators. He was working with those who did not believe in his God, but he worked more efficiently and capably than all the rest. Thus, he attracted the attention of the pagan king and earned a place of respect. He also attracted the envy of coworkers. These jealous officials couldn’t find anything about Daniel’s life to criticize, so they attacked his religion. If you face jealous critics because of your faith, be glad they’re criticizing that part of your life-perhaps they had to focus on your faith as a last resort! Respond by continuing to believe and live as you should. Then remember that G...

WHAT OR WHO ARE THE SOURCES OF ACCUSATIONS? Zechariah 3:1 . . . Then the angel showed me Jeshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord. Satan was there at the angel’s right hand, accusing Jeshua of many things. Job 2:1 . . . One day the angels came again to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan the Accuser came with them. Revelation 12:9-11 . . . This great dragon-the ancient serpent called the Devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world-was thrown down to the earth with all his angels. Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, “It has happened at last-the salvation and power and kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ! For the Accuser has been thrown down to earth-the one who accused our brothers and sisters before our God day and night.” Satan is the ultimate false accuser. He makes believers doubt. John 7:7 . . . The world can’t hate you, but it does hate me because I accuse it of sin and evil. Jesus is the ultimate true ...

Jealousy is one of the most common emotions, but we often fail to see how it can also be one of the most dangerous. We’re jealous of those who have better houses, nicer cars, more vacation time, more attractive spouses, happier families, more talents. Jealousy is an emotion of passion, and jealousy uncontrolled leads to passionate hate. If allowed to go that far, it can drive an inflamed person to kill, as Cain killed Abel. Short of that, families have been broken, businesses poisoned, relationships destroyed through jealousy. WHY IS OUR JEALOUSY SO DANGEROUS? Proverbs 14:30 . . . A relaxed attitude lengthens life; jealousy rots it away. Jealousy brings decay to our lives because it causes us to focus on anger and bitterness. Proverbs 27:4 . . . Anger is cruel . . . but who can survive the destructiveness of jealousy? Genesis 13:7 . . . An argument broke out between the herdsmen of Abram and Lot. Jealousy tears families and friends apart. Jealousy drove Lot’s herdsmen to fight ...
