About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

God Pours Out His Spirit
Luke 24:49 'And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.'
John's baptism was a baptism with water unto repentance for the remission of sins. John preached that the Lamb of God came to take away the sins of the world (Jn. 1:29), but he didn't administer the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
However, both John the Baptist and Jesus prophesied the church age, when believers would be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit came on the day of Pentecost, but it was not only for these few individuals. Peter said in Acts 2:39, 'For the...
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH GOD'S WORD?
I HAVE WRITTEN BEFORE ON THIS BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE GOD'S WORD. IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD NOT BE IN NEED OR SICK OR DEPRESSED. I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE "NAME IT AND CLAIM IT" CHRISTIANS BUT I DO BELIEVE IN GOD'S WORD AND HE SAYS TO ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO ME. NOW THERE ARE THINGS I HAVE TO DO AND THAT IS NOT ASK ANYTHING THAT IS NOT ACCORDING TO HIS WILL AND WORD. THE OTHER THING IS THAT I HAVE TO BE SEEKING HIM WITH ALL MY HEART WITH FORGIVENESS. IS THIS TOO MUCH TO DO TO RECEIVE HEALTH AND PROSPERITY?
Kinds Of Evangelism
Luke 24:48 'And ye are witnesses of these things.'
One of the great mistakes of the modern church is to think that evangelism is something done within the four walls of the church building. Acts 8:1-4 makes it apparent that evangelism was not done by the pastor or clergy but by believers that went everywhere preaching the Word (Acts 8:4).
Some methods of evangelism mentioned in scripture are: (1) House to house evangelism - '...and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ' (Acts 5:42). (2) Personal one-on-one evangelism - Philip ministered to the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-38), Paul to Sergius Paulus (Acts 13:7), Jesus to Mary...
WE ARE RECONCILED TO GOD
IN READING THE CHRISTMAS STORY IN LUKE 2, VERSES 13-14 SAY "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT JESUS BROUGHT PEACE BETWEEN MEN ON EARTH BUT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. JESUS BROUGHT PEACE BETWEEN GOD AND MAN, NOT PEACE AMONG MEN. JESUS SAID, HIMSELF IN MATTHEW 10:34, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." THIS MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO GO STRAIGHT TO GOD WITH OUR...
Let God's Peace Lead You
Luke 24:36 'And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.'
Just as every sport has disputes that must be settled by the officials, the peace of God is the umpire that settles all disputes as to what the will of God is for our lives. We must learn to listen to and heed the peace of God in our hearts.
God's peace is something that every born-again believer has. It's a fruit of the Spirit. That peace is always umpiring; we just don't always pay attention. How many times have you acted contrary to the peace in your heart and afterwards, you experience disaster? You say, 'I never did feel...
