By Cary E. McQuaid, 2014-11-09

Stretch Forth Thy Life! Towards God, Be Made Whole!

"And when he had looked around about with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he sayeth unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other." Mark 3:5

OUR CHALLENGE TODAY!

There are some times in life that questions don't matter. Who, what, where, when, why, and how doesn't matter when it comes to healing someone. Just heal them! Who caused your hand to be withered?

CHOOSE TO FOCUS ON ALL THAT IS GOOD


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2014-11-09
FROM ANDREW WOMMACK MINISTRIESCHOOSE TO FOCUS ON ALL THAT IS GOODMark 14:38 "Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak."MARK 14:38Temptation is linked directly to what we think upon (Heb. 11:15). Temptation has to be entered into. We can avoid temptation by avoiding thoughts that generate temptation (Prov. 23:7). Since it is impossible to not think, we cannot just try to reject the negative thoughts in this world, but we must choose to think on the positive truths of God. This is where prayer comes in.In prayer, we have our minds stayed upon God and therefore, are not receptive to thoughts that conceive temptation. Temptation or sin must be conceived (Jas. 1:14-15). In the physical realm, the easiest way to avoid an unwanted birth is to avoid conception, so it is in the spiritual world.It is easier to avoid being tempted by being in constant communion with God, than it is to overcome temptation once it has been conceived.Paul...

HIS FATHOMLESS PAIN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2014-11-08
FROM ANDREW WOMMACK MINISTRIESHIS FATHOMLESS PAINLuke 22:44 "And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground."LUKE 22:43-44It is interesting that Luke is the only one of the gospel writers to mention that Jesus' sweat was as great drops of blood. This is probably because Luke was a physician (Col. 4:14), and therefore, this had special significance to him.There have been documented cases of people actually sweating drops of blood under extreme emotional pressure. This might explain why Luke is the only writer to mention the angel strengthening Jesus. Just as when Jesus encountered Satan during His forty days of fasting and temptation in the wilderness and the angels ministered unto Him (Mk. 1:13), so here, He needed supernatural strength to endure His sufferings.The use of the words "as it were" might also mean that the sweat of Jesus was only comparable to blood in consistency or size, but it certainly...

PECULIAR PEOPLE!


By Cary E. McQuaid, 2014-11-08

PECULIAR PEOPLE!

"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." Titus 2:13, 14

IN JESUS TODAY!

Does anyone think that you might be a little strange? Well, it's o.k., there could be a very good reason for this. God has made you to be zealous for good works and that is very different than most, who simply seek to gain their own advantage.

HE IS OUR "ABBA"


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2014-11-07
FROM ANDREW WOMMACK MINISTRIESHE IS OUR "ABBA"Mark 14:36 "And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt."MARK 14:36Although God was referred to as our Father in the Old Testament, Jesus' frequent use of this title brought a whole new understanding of our relationship with God. Jesus referred to God as His Father, and He spoke of God as being our Father as well. This infuriated the religious Jews of Jesus' day who considered it blasphemy to call God their Father, because they understood that to mean they were equal with God.We are instructed to call God our Father, revealing the kind, gentle, loving nature of our God. The term "Abba" is an affectionate term that a young child calls his father, which corresponds to our term "daddy." It is a term used to express intimacy and affectionate fondness. It removes the idea of God as a strict judge and carries the image of Him as a loving Father who...

INSPIRATION!


By Cary E. McQuaid, 2014-11-06

INSPIRATION

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 2Timothy 3:16,17

IN JESUS TODAY:

Inspiration, what does it mean? To inspire means to breathe in, or breathe into, to infuse ideas, or to inhale into the lungs, heart, and mind, ideas that will encourage and motivate. The fact that God gives us inspiration shows his desire to see us succeed.

SEEK THE WILL OF GOD


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2014-11-06

FROM ANDREW WOMMACK MINISTRIES

SEEK THE WILL OF GOD

Luke 22:42 "Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done."

LUKE 22:41-42

Jesus knew it was the Father's will for Him to be made an offering for the sins of the world. This is true because He prophesied His death and resurrection many times before. However, because of His unique relationship with God, Jesus was asking God to accomplish His will some other way, but at the same time affirming His commitment to do His Father's will and not His own.

He was not at a loss to know God's will and therefore, left this time of prayer trusting that whatever the Father deemed best for Him would happen.

He knew,...

CHOSEN BEFORE CREATION


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2014-11-05

FROM ANDREW WOMMACK MINISTRIES

CHOSEN BEFORE CREATION

John 17:24 "Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world."

JOHN 17:24

God the Father had the plan of salvation worked out before He even created the world. Most of us would not have created the world and man if we knew the heartache and terrible sacrifice it would cost. But God is not man. In His judgment (which is the correct judgment) the prize was worth the cost.

We were chosen in Christ before the world began. The Lord did not choose us by our merit, but solely by our acceptance of Christ which His foreknowledge...

To the membership:

E. (Ed) Pettersen has been with IGA (Indie Gospel Artists) for a few years. Not to be confused with another Ed Pettersen (also a professional musician), who just joined us. Actually the new Ed bought the legal rights to the name which is why long time member Ed goes by E. Pettersen (confused yet- lol).

Ed (E.) has had several #1 songs on the IGA Chart and he had the #3 song of the 2013 year in "Baggage Claim". With all that, he was instrumental in helping put together the Project: "The Sound of Hope" which was IGA's offerring of a compilation of Songs from various artists in IGA which he was one of the artists on the album, in fact it slipped in as being the theme song of the Project was "Your Love" done by E. Pettersen.

And Now, currently, he has the

WALKING IN LOVE!


By Cary E. McQuaid, 2014-11-04

WALKING IN LOVE!

"And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor." Ephesians 5:2

IN JESUS TODAY:

Being a follower of God as dear children, we also do as he has done, giving ourselves as a living sacrifice, as it is written, "I beseech you therefore brethren,
