IS SATAN STOPPING YOUR BLESSINGS?

 

HAVE YOU EVER WORRIED ABOUT EXPRESSING YOUR LOVE FOR JESUS IN PUBLIC?  A LOT OF PEOPLE WON'T BECAUSE THEY "MIGHT OFFEND SOMEONE".  YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK OF THAT.  WHAT IF JESUS THOUGH HE MIGHT OFFEND SOMEONE AND NOT HAVE GONE TO THE CROSS FOR US.  DO YOU KNOW WHAT TROUBLE WE WOULD BE IN?  LET'S LOOK AT BLIND BARTIMAEUS FROM THE BIBLE AND TAKE A LESSON FROM HIM.    

 


DO YOU REMEMBER THAT STORY?  WHEN BLIND BARTIMAEUS WAS SITTING BY THE ROADSIDE BEGGING, HE HEARD THAT JESUS WAS PASSING BY AND CRIED OUT TO HIM. THIS STORY IS FOUND IN MARK 10:46-48 AND I WILL PUT IT...

"ESCAPE CONDEMNATION" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Escape Condemnation




Matthew 26:2 'Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.'





In Israel, crucifixion was a common sight. This practice was first mentioned in scripture as one used by the Egyptians (Gen. 40:19). Anyone hung upon a tree was accursed by God according to the Mosaic law (Dt. 21:22-23).

Failure to obey the law brought on the curse. Praise God that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by bearing the curse for us. Now, through Christ, we will never receive any curse from God even though we still disobey the law in some way. Justice was satisfied when Jesus died for the law that we broke,...



How To Esteem Others More Than Self




Matthew 25:40 'And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.'


"STANDING ON GOD'S PROMISES" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

STANDING ON GOD'S PROMISES







HAVE YOU BEEN STANDING FOR SOMETHING FOR A LONG TIME?  IT MIGHT BE THE SALVATION OF YOUR CHILDREN OR SPOUSE OR PARENTS OR IT COULD BE THAT YOUR HOUSE WOULD BE PAID OFF OR THAT YOU WOULD FIND A GOOD JOB OR JUST ANYTHING.  WHEN YOU PRAY, ACCORDING TO GOD'S WORD, AND BELIEVE YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT, JESUS SAYS THAT YOU SHALL HAVE IT.




SOME THINGS I HAVE PRAYED FOR HAVE COME...


Follow The Leading Of Holy Spirit




Matthew 25:14 'For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.'





The parable of the talents continues the theme of being ready for the Lord's return, but it also makes a strong point that we are accountable to the Lord for the gifts He has given us. The Lord intends us to use these gifts to further His kingdom - not keep them hidden.

This parable also shows the Lord dealing with His servants according to their own individual gifts and abilities. The servants who doubled their Lord's money were praised equally, even though one had produced two and one-half...

"GET READY FOR JESUS" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Get Ready For Jesus




Matthew 24:38 'For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,'


"BEING FRUITFUL" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

BEING FRUITFUL

 

ARE YOU BEARING FRUIT?  IF YOU ARE BORN AGAIN YOU SHOULD BE.  JESUS SAYS YOU ARE A BRANCH AND HE IS THE VINE.  IF YOU ARE NOT ABIDING, OR CONTINUING PERMANENTLY, WHICH IS WHAT ABIDING MEANS, IN THE VINE, THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN BE FRUITFUL.  HERE IS WHAT JESUS SAID IN JOHN 15:4-5 "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."  WE LOOK AT THIS AND SAY, THIS IS GREAT, BUT IS IT? IT IS IF WE ARE BEARING FRUIT.  WE KNOW THAT JESUS IS ABIDING IN US FROM WHAT HE SAYS ABOVE BUT ARE WE ABIDING IN HIM....

DON'T WORRY ABOUT MATERIAL THINGS



I WAS READING MATTHEW 6 AND IN VERSES 25 JESUS SAYS NOT TO THINK ABOUT OUR LIVES OR THE THINGS WE NEED TO SURVIVE.  (MATTHEW 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?)  I WONDERED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE HOW COULD WE NOT THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS.  JESUS, HIMSELF, THOUGHT ABOUT PAYING HIS TAXES. (MATTHEW 17:27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.)  WHY WOULD JESUS TELL US TO "TAKE NO THOUGHT" OF THESE THINGS.

"OUR HOPE IS IN ETERNITY" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2019-10-02


Our Hope Is In Eternity




Luke 21:18-19 'But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls.'

LUKE 21:15-22





Jesus says the disciples were betrayed by parents, brothers, relatives, friends, and some disciples were even put to death. Yet, the amazing statement of Christ is that not a hair of their head will perish. The context of this statement speaks of some of the disciples dying, so this is not a promise that no physical harm will ever come. This could only refer to the resurrection.

The Greek word for 'resurrection' means 'a standing or rising up.' The resurrection is a major theme of New Testament...
