"FAITH IS A MUSCLE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-09-13

Faith Is A Muscle




Matthew 21:26 'But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.'



MATTHEW 21:23-27



Proverbs 29:25 says, 'The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.' These men were seeking to snare Jesus in His words, but they couldn't because He was safely trusting in the Lord. It was easy for Jesus to 'turn the tables on them' and catch them because they feared man (Jn. 5:44).

Jesus had already shown that all of their works were done so that they could be seen of men (Mt. 6:5). They were not really seeking to please God, but were doing all their religious works for the praise of men. It is totally vain for a man who is bound by the fear of man to try...

"REALLY BELIEVING IN GOD'S WORD" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-09-12

REALLY BELIEVING IN GOD'S WORD





WILL YOU AGREE WITH ME THAT OUR FINANCES WILL INCREASE AND WE WILL HAVE NO MORE MONEY PROBLEMS? WILL YOU AGREE WITH ME THAT WE, AND OUR FAMILIES, WILL BE HEALTHY? WILL YOU AGREE WITH ME THAT OUR CHILDREN WILL BE SAVED?




I AM SURE THAT SOME OF YOU ARE ASKING FOR ONE OR ALL OF THESE THINGS AND SO AM I. I WILL AGREE WITH EVERY ONE OF YOU ON THESE. I WILL...

Forgiving Others Is To Your Advantage




Mark 11:25 'And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.'



MATTHEW 21:20-22; MARK 11:20-26



There are qualifications for believing and receiving as well as restrictions for receiving answers to prayer. Unforgiveness in our hearts will keep our prayers from being answered.

We should forgive others as quickly as it takes to make the decision to pray. The Greek word for 'when' means 'whenever, as soon as, or while.' When we stand praying, we must forgive if we have ought ('anything at all, the least little part; whatsoever') against anyone.

When we are offended or hurt, we often feel justified in...

"FORGIVENESS OF SIN" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-09-11

FORGIVENESS OF SIN




JUST THINK ABOUT THE SINS YOU HAVE COMMITTED THIS WEEK. DO YOU THINK GOD IS CHARGING THOSE SINS AGAINST YOU? WELL, HE IS NOT. 1ST JOHN 2:2 TELLS US THIS ABOUT JESUS, "And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."

 

WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT WHEN WE DO SIN, WE NEED ASK FOR FORGIVENESS OF THOSE SINS AND GOD WILL TAKE THE FORGIVENESS THAT IS ALREADY IN OUR BORN AGAIN SPIRITS AND RELEASE IT IN OUR FLESH. THIS REMOVES THE DEVIL'S HOLD ON US.

"THE BATTLE IS IN THE MIND" BY ANDREW WMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-09-11

The Battle Is In The Mind




Matthew 21:21 'Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.'




Jesus makes it very clear that we must have faith and doubt not. Every believer has faith, but most believers also have an abundance of doubt that negates their faith. It is when we purify our faith and only believe, that victory comes.

Every Christian is at war. There is a perpetual struggle against Satan and his kingdom where there are no 'leaves' or 'discharges.' Our enemy goes about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Pet. 5:8). Those who resist...

"WORKS DON'T SAVE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-09-10

Works Don't Save




Mark 11:16 'And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.'




Only Mark points out that Jesus would not suffer anyone to carry any vessel through the temple. No explanation is offered by Mark as to why Jesus would not allow this. It is probable that Jesus wanted His Father's house to be dedicated completely to prayer and the ministry of God. Also, as with the Sabbath, work symbolizes our own effort, and our own effort will always fall short of what God demands for salvation. Therefore, anything that resembled work was inappropriate in the house of God.

What are 'works of the law?' Any rule, command or law that a person observes in an attempt to be accepted in right standing with God is a 'work of the law.' In...

"DO YOU TALK WITH JESUS? BIY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-09-10




DO YOU TALK WITH JESUS?



DO YOU FIND COMFORT IN JESUS? SOMETIMES WE THINK THAT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH. JESUS KNOWS AND HAS EXPERIENCED MORE THAN WE CAN EVER IMAGINE. HE KNOWS WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE HUMILIATED. DON'T YOU THINK IT WAS HUMILIATION FOR HIM TO BE TREATED LIKE HE WAS BY THE ONES HE CREATED?

 

DON'T YOU KNOW HE MUST HAVE BEEN BULLIED WHEN HE WAS GROWING UP, NOT BEING ABLE TO FIGHT BACK? DON'T YOU KNOW HE WAS PERSECUTED AND MOCKED WHEN HE SAID HE WAS THE SON OF GOD? WHAT WOULD WE HAVE DONE IF THESE THINGS HAD...

"LET'S TAKE BACK AMERICA" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

LET'S TAKE BACK AMERICA

 

DO YOU REMEMBER, AS I CAN, WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD, HOW EVERY MORNING IN SCHOOL WE PRAYED "THE LORD'S PRAYER"? WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT THAT THERE WOULD COME A DAY WHEN OUR CHILDREN WOULD NOT BE ALLOW TO DO THAT. GOD FORGIVE US FOR EVER LETTING THIS HAPPEN. YES, I MEAN "US" FOR LETTING THIS HAPPEN. WHEN WILL WE, AS "THE BODY OF CHRIST" COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT WE HAVE POWER AND USE IT.

 

IT TAKES STEPPING OUT FOR JESUS WHETHER YOU THINK IT IS "POLITICALLY CORRECT" OR NOT. IT TAKES UNITING WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS WHETHER THEY ARE BAPTIST, METHODIST, LUTHERAN, ANGLICAN, PRESBYTERIAN, CATHOLIC, PENTECOSTAL, CHARISMATICS, OR MESSIANIC JEWISH CHRISTIANS. IF WE ALL JOINED...

"THE WORD PRODUCES FRUIT" BY ANDREW W9MMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-09-09

The Word Produces Fruit




Matthew 21:14 'And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.'



MATTHEW 21:12-14



When we, who are the temple of the Lord, are occupied with the cares of this life, the needs of others are not met. However, when we are cleansed (Jn. 15:3), then the Lord can accomplish His ministry through us.

Jesus tells us not to worry or be anxious about our material needs being met. It would be impossible to never think about our physical needs, even Jesus thought about His need for money to pay taxes. We are simply not to be occupied with thinking about riches or spend time worrying about our necessities. They will be added unto us as we seek first the kingdom of God.

Prosperity can be...

"OUR WORDS ARE ALIVE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-09-08

Our Words Are Alive




Mark 11:14 'And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.'



Notice that this verse says that Jesus 'answered' this fig tree. The tree had not spoken to Him verbally but it communicated that it had figs by the leaves on it. It is a fact that a fig tree should have figs by the time the leaves are evident. A fig tree actually produces green figs before the leaves appear and if no figs are produced by that time, then the tree will not have any figs that year. This fig tree was professing something that it didn't have even though it was still too early for figs.



Not only plants, but other things can communicate with us too. Circumstances can tell you that you...
