"WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR JESUS?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-02-23
WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR JESUS?





 

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU ARE WALKING DOWN THE STREET AT NIGHT AND SEE A BUNCH OF YOUNG KIDS COMING IN YOUR DIRECTION? IT IS A SHAME BUT WE TEND TO WANT TO CROSS THE STREET. WHY IS THIS? IS IT BECAUSE WE IMMEDIATELY THINK THEY ARE UP TO NO GOOD? THIS IS ALL WE HEAR ON THE RADIO AND SEE ON TV. ALL YOU EVER SEE IS HOW THE GANGS ARE ROAMING THE STREETS AND DOING BAD THINGS. WE SHOULD REMEMBER THERE ARE GOOD GANGS OF KIDS OUT THERE ROAMING THE STREETS DOING GOOD THINGS.


 

"DO YOU WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-02-22

DO YOU WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT?



HOW OFTEN DO YOU PRAISE AND WORSHIP GOD? IT IS A CHOICE WE HAVE TO MAKE, EVEN WHEN WE DON'T FEEL LIKE IT. A BETTER QUESTION MIGHT BE, "HOW" DO YOU WORSHIP HIM? JESUS TELLS US IN JOHN 4:23-24 "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." SINCE THESE TWO VERSES SAY WE MUST WORSHIP IN "SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH", WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?


"ONLY THE HUNGRY ARE FED" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Only The Hungry Are Fed




Matthew 5:6, 'Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.'



MATTHEW 5:1-9



In the natural world, people eat even when they aren't hungry. Many of us can prove that by turning sideways and looking at ourselves in the mirror. But in the spiritual realm, only those who are hungry can get fed. One of the worst things that can happen to us is spiritual complacency.

Being hungry for the things of God is one of the best things that can happen to us. Most people don't feel that way. They would rather have the feeling of being full. But Jesus promised us that fullness would follow hunger. No hunger, no fullness.

Therefore, what many people hate is actually a...

GOD IS FAITHFUL

BY DAVID MCMILLEN 


I WROTE A PRAISE REPORT LIKE THIS ONE SOMETIME BACK TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TRUST IN GOD'S FAITHFULNESS. I AM GOING TO GIVE IT AGAIN THIS MORNING IN HOPES THAT THOSE WHO DIDN'T GET TO READ IT CAN DO IT NOW AND HOPING IT WILL REACH SOMEONE WHO REALLY NEEDS THE ENCOURAGEMENT. GOD'S PROMISES ARE REAL AND CAN BE YOURS IF YOU HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS. I DID AND LOOK WHAT IT GOT ME.

"AT THY WORD" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-02-21

At Thy Word




Luke 5:5, 'And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.'



LUKE 5:1-11



Peter and his companions had been working hard all night. Their efforts had not produced even one fish. They had given up and were headed home. But Jesus told them to try it just one more time.

It would have been easy for Peter to reject Jesus' command. After all, Peter had been a fisherman all his life. Jesus was just a preacher. What did He know about fishing? Yet something, or rather someone, caused Peter to try just once more.

Many people are like Simon Peter and his partners. They have done all that they know to do and yet they've come up...

"FAITH IS REAL" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

FAITH IS REAL

BY DAVID MCMILLEN 




FAITH IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO TRY TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE, EVEN CHRISTIANS. WE KNOW WE HAVE IT BECAUSE PAUL TELLS US IN ROMANS 12:3 THAT WE DO, "God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith."


 

THE WORD "FAITH" APPEARED 249 TIMES IN THE KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE AND I WANTED TO READ THEM ALL. I DECIDED TO START IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, SINCE IT IS FROM WHERE I TAKE MOST OF MY...

"DRAWN BY HIS POWER" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-02-20

Drawn By His Power




Mark 1:37, 'And when they had found him, they said unto him, All [men] seek for thee.'



MK. 1:35-39; LK. 4:42-44



This is an amazing statement. Jesus' ministry was only a few months old and the masses of people were already seeking him out.

This is even more astonishing when you realize that Jesus had not used any of the conventional methods of publicity. In fact, Jesus had already rejected publicity during His first ministry in Jerusalem (Jn. 2:24-25). There was no natural explanation for Jesus' success.

God is the one who promoted Jesus. And He used supernatural means to do it. It was not the slick techniques of Madison Avenue that brought the crowds--it was the awesome manifestation of God's power.

"MINISTRY IN ACTION" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-02-19

Ministry In Action




Mk. 1:31, 'And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.'



MT. 8:14-17; MK. 1:29-34; LK. 4:38-41



How did Peter's mother-in-law minister unto Jesus and His disciples? Did she sit them down and preach to them? Certainly not. Yet sometimes people think the only way we can minister to another is to admonish them with the scriptures.

Peter's mother-in-law apparently ministered to them by serving them. The word translated 'minister' is the same word that was translated 'deacon' twice in the New Testament, and 'serve, served or serveth' eight times.

We can minister for the Lord by doing some of the menial tasks that many consider to be...

IS GOD DRAWING YOU?

BY DAVID MCMILLEN 


FOR YOU WHO ARE NOT BORN AGAIN OR DON'T REALLY KNOW FOR SURE, WHEN YOU ARE IN CHURCH AND THE PASTOR GIVES THE INVITATION, DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE YOU SHOULD GO DOWN TO THE ALTER TO BE SAVED? MY QUESTION IS, WHY DO YOU THINK YOU NEED TO DO THAT? NOW IF YOU ARE FEELING DRAWN TO GO DOWN TO THE ALTER, MAYBE YOU ARE NOT SAVED AND IT IS GOD DRAWING YOU TO HIM. LOOK WHAT JESUS SAYS IN JOHN 6:44 "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." I WOULD SUGGEST REALLY PRAYING ABOUT THIS AND GET IT SETTLED ONCE AND FOR ALL. THIS IS NOTHING TO PLAY...

"DEMONS IN CHURCH" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Demons In Church




Mark 1:23, 'And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out;....'



MK. 1:21-28; LK. 4:33-37



Many people don't associate demon-possessed people with places of worship. Yet most of the demons that Jesus cast out were encountered in the church. Why would demon-possessed people be in church?

In some cases, the people were there because they were seeking help. The church, like a hospital, offers people the cure and therefore, attracts those who are sick.

In other cases, the devil sows these types of people in the church to spread spiritual disease. A church that is teaching the true Word of God should either try to evangelize these individuals or make them so convicted that they...
