EVERLASTING LOVE!

"You ever wonder why some little children, or faithful followers of Jesus end up experiencing disease, crisis, and other terrible things. Is God fair? Can we trust God? " ~Pastor Bradwell~ The above quote and title of this post was posed by Pastor Thomas Bradwell whom I met many years ago... I thought it was a very good question and it is one that many many people have asked over and over again. I replied to the above statement and question below. I just wanted to share and hope and pray it blesses and encourages others. I hope it gives insight to those who are in need. My Response: Yes, I have wondered about the same exact things. Some of my conculsions are as follows: 1. We live in a sin sick world. 2. Romans 8:28 - "And we know all things work together for good, to them that love God and are the called according to His purpose." 3. Study the life of Job 4. Focus on Jesus - He endured alot for us. The Word tells us that in this world we will have tribulations bu...

And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may come to their senses and escape the snare [entrapment] of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.  ~2Timothy 2:24-26, Emphasis Added~ Many people are unable to function properly in God's purpose and calling for their lives because of the wounds, hurts, and offenses in their lives. ~John Bevere ~ I have found this to be true through personal experiences and the experiences of others that I have witnessed over the years.  I find that people who have been wounded, hurt, and or offended experience much frustration.  The frustration comes sometimes because this offense may have occurred many times by many different people over many years.  It maybe that the person who have experience such pain in their lifetime showed immediate forgiveness and was...

Today I am very thankful to my Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ, for dying on the cross to save me from my sin and the sins of this world. I am forever grateful for the sacrifice He made on my behalf. Thank You, Jesus!!!

Because of You, I am Healed, Delivered, and made Whole! Because of You, I have been Called, Chosen, Anointed, and set Apart! Because of You, I was Created! Because of You, I Worship! Because of You, I Live, I Move, and I have my Being! Because o...

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.

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).
