PRESSING ON TO MATURITY

05/10/2016 0 Comment

Heb. 6:11,12 – And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

If you pay close attention in the book of Hebrews you will begin to see the Holy Spirit connecting the dots. Part of the time the author is exhorting us to endure with patience; the rest of the time he is calling us to a life of renewal, he calls it the new and liv..

PERSEVERANCE AND THE BLESSING OF GOD

04/10/2016 0 Comment

Heb. 6:14,15 – saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

You ever wonder about Christians who used to be on fire, always in church, apparently excited about spiritual things and then…. One day you found yourself wondering “Whatever happened to so and so?” They just seemed to disappear, their life swallowed up by the cares, temptations, and the struggles of life. Why is that? Maybe there is a..

MERRY MONDAY BY PARRIS-

“And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not” Gen. 28:16

I didn’t realize what was happening to me when it was happening. It would be years later while filled with His presence, He began to piece together the God moments in my life. Never would I have seen such a beautiful tapestry, if He hadn’t opened by eyes. Thank God He did, for I was once blind and now I so see!

Jacob while running away from his brother Esau, ..

TODAY

Heb. 4:7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,

Do not harden your hearts.”

Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow? Believe it or not, that is how much of the world lives. The other common deception is I am going to get it together or things are going to change when such and such happens. The problem is tomorrow never comes and such and such never shows up. Living in the now is wha..

UNTIL THE VERY END

01/10/2016 0 Comment

Heb. 6:11,12 – We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

Some folks look to Christ as only a help when some major drama invades their life. Now don’t misunderstand me, He is definitely there when the wheels fall off, but He is more than that, way more than that! Christ is our life itself. It is His life that satisfies us ..

IF YOU ONLY KNEW

John 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

The woman at the well in Samaria had no idea who she was talking to; regrettably that’s the way it is with most all of us today. We think we know who He is but get stuck on religious cliches and preconceived ideas of who Jesus is. Do we really “know” who He is? Just think about it, He has lived from eter..

NEVER THIRST

John 4:13,14 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.

I love this verse of scripture, in it we find one of the greatest of all Bible promises. Do you see it? Jesus said that if we drink His living water we will never thirst again. What exactly was He saying? Now of course yo..

MY JOY

Psa. 56:13 For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

Recently I have been reflecting on the sudden, unexpected change that happened to me at my conversion. It was really the very first time I became aware of the miracle power of God and the supernatural nature of true Christianity. It goes to the very heart of who we are, our will. These are the things we enjoy to do and the things we do often because, f..

THE BEAUTY OF FAITH

27/09/2016 0 Comment

Gal. 3:5,6 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith— just as Abraham “believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”?

Faith is an amazing thing. It is different from belief or hope, it is more precise. Faith does not originate with man and is not a product of the human heart or will power. Faith is supernatural; it is a gift from God. By faith the things of the unseen world become sure to us. Our spiritua..

“The unpropitious day where you slay a lion”

26/09/2016 0 Comment

“Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit on a snowy day.” 2 Samuel 23:20

Have you’ve ever had a unpropitious day? One that would not be favorable or you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I think all of us could remember those not so great days. But sometimes in the midst of the pit, something courageous happens..
