"LOVE AND TRUST" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-04-21

Love And Trust




Matthew 9:18, 'While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.'



MATTHEW 9:18-19



Jesus could have healed this girl by His spoken word, but He did as He was requested to do. This illustrates how the Lord ministers to us according to our faith. Jesus ministered to him at the level where his faith was and didn't rebuke his little faith (Jas. 1:5).

There is a human faith which is limited to believing only what we can perceive through our five senses. But the supernatural, God kind of faith goes beyond what we can see, taste, hear, smell, and feel. God's kind of faith calls those...

"REALLY BEING BORN AGAIN" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

REALLY BEING BORN AGAIN

 

ARE YOU BORN AGAIN? YOU MIGHT GO TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND HAVE BEEN GOING ALL YOUR LIFE . YOU MAY TEACH SUNDAY SCHOOL AND SING IN THE CHOIR . YOU MAY PAY YOUR TITHES EVERY WEEK AND SERVE ON SEVERAL COMMITTEES AT THE CHURCH. YOU MIGHT EVEN GO OUT ON SATURDAYS TO THE FOOD CLINIC AND HELP FEED THE POOR. BUT, ARE YOU BORN AGAIN?

 

IF YOU CANNOT HONESTLY SAY "YES, I AM BORN AGAIN" THEN I WOULD QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT YOU REALLY ARE. IF YOU ARE AND BELIEVE THE BIBLE THERE WILL BE NO DOUBT. HAVE YOU EVER ASK JESUS TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS AND TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND BE YOUR SAVIOR? THIS IS SOMETHING YOU MUST DO. YOU CAN'T JUST LIVE A GOOD LIFE AND DO ALL THE THINGS I MENTIONED BEFORE AND EXPECT TO GO TO HEAVEN....

"GOD LIKES US" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-04-20

God Likes Us




Mark 5:19, 'Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.'




MARK 5:18-20



One of the ways God's goodness is revealed is through His mercy. We may describe mercy as 'the readiness of God to relieve the misery of fallen creatures.' Many times, mercy is called compassion or lovingkindness. It is expressed toward the sinner because of the misery that sin has brought upon him.

God's mercy to the believer is revealed by His taking away the misery of sin's consequences through the New Covenant of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Mercy is not something merited or...


YOUR ANGELS BEHOLD THE FACE OF GOD



DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ALONE OR AFRAID? WELL, I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THAT, FIRST, IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN, YOU ARE NEVER ALONE. I KNOW SOMETIMES WE FORGET BUT JESUS SAID HE WOULD NEVER LEAVE US. AS FOR BEING AFRAID, WE ALL HAVE FELT THIS ONE TIME OR ANOTHER BUT WE SHOULDN'T. I KNOW WE ALL KNOW THAT FEAR IS OF THE DEVIL AND YET WE LET HIM BRING IT ON US. I GUESS WE JUST SOMETIMES FORGET.


I HAVE FOUND THAT IF I QUOTE SOME BIBLE PASSAGE IT BRINGS ME BACK TO WHERE JESUS WANTS ME TO BE....NOT AFRAID. I TRY TO RECITE PSALMS 91:11...

"DO YOU BELIEVE IN ANGELS?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

DO YOU BELIEVE IN ANGELS?




DO YOU KNOW WHAT AN ANGEL IS? HEBREWS 1:14 SAYS "Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" THAT IS US, FELLOW CHRISTIANS, FOR WE ARE HEIRS OF GOD AND JOINT HEIRS WITH JESUS AS IT SAYS IN ROMANS 8:16-17 "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."


THE BIBLE EVEN SAYS IN HEBREWS 2:9 THAT JESUS WAS MADE A LITTLE LOWER THAN ANGELS SO HE COULD DIE FOR ALL MEN. "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower...

"WORSHIP IS WARFARE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-04-19

Worship Is Warfare




Mark 5:6, 'But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him.'



MATTHEW 8:28-34; MARK 5:1-17; LUKE 8:27-39



The word 'worshipped' is taken from the Greek word 'proskuneo' which means 'to prostrate oneself in homage to; do reverence to; adore.' The fact that this tormented man ran to Jesus, and not away from Him, indicates that even 'demon-possessed' people have a free will and Satan cannot control an individual without his consent.

Many battles have been fought over whether or not a Christian can be demon-possessed. The Greek word for 'possessed' literally means 'to be demonized.' The Bible makes no clear distinction between degrees of demon activity (such as oppressed, depressed, possessed, etc.), but...

"PRAIYER" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

PRAYER




THE OTHER DAY I WAS TALKING ABOUT PRAYER AND I HAVE A FEW MORE THOUGHTS ON IT. THE PROBLEM WE HAVE ABOUT PRAYER IS THAT IF WE PRAY ACCORDING TO GOD'S WORD, OUR PRAYERS ARE ALWAYS ANSWERED. WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS HAVE FAITH ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THEY ARE AND RECEIVE THEM. TO RECEIVE THEM WE HAVE TO USE OUR FAITH TO BRING THEM FROM THE SPIRITUAL WORLD INTO OUR WORLD. THEN WE HAVE TO BELIEVE WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED WHATEVER WE HAVE PRAYED FOR, THANK GOD FOR IT AND WAIT TILL IT IS MANIFESTED IN THIS WORLD. LOOK WHAT IS SAYS IN THESE TWO SCRIPTURES BELOW.

"SERVANT POWER" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-04-18

Servant Power




Mark 4:41, 'And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?'



MARK 4:35-41



When God created this physical world and all of its inhabitants, He gave mankind authority to rule and subdue His creation. Although God still owned the universe and all that was in it, He gave control of the earth to man.

When man sinned, he began to use this power against God's wishes. God did not ordain all the terrible things that have happened throughout history, and yet He did not take back man's right to dominate the earth. Instead, He became a man and took back that authority to Himself by conquest. After Jesus' resurrection, He said in Matthew 28:18, '...All...

Peace In The Midst Of The Storm




Mark 4:37-38, 'And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master carest thou not that we perish?'



MATTHEW 12:46-50; 8:23-27; MARK 3:31-35; 4:35-41; LUKE 8:19-26



Considering the fact that the boat was filled with water, it is amazing that the disciples had to awaken Jesus. This was not a large ship with cabins below deck but rather a small, open boat and Jesus was, no doubt, 'soaked to the bone.' This reflects Jesus' humanity and how tired He must have been. It also shows that Jesus must have been in a very deep sleep. Medical science has discovered that...
