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.

I WROTE A POEM OVER FIFTY YEARS AGO CALLED "TODAY". I SHARED IT THREE OR FOUR YEARS AGO AND SOMEONE WANTED TO SEE IT AGAIN SO I DECIDED TO SHARE IT THIS MORNING. I THINK IT IS CALLED A PROSE SINCE IT DOES NOT RHYME.
WELL, I WAS STUDYING ABOUT LOVE AND CAME UPON THE VERSE WHERE IT SAYS GOD IS LOVE (1ST JOHN 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.) I DECIDED TO CHANGE SOME OF THE WORDS AND DIRECT IT TOWARD JESUS SINCE HE IS GOD THE SON. I HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY IT.
Let's suppose that Anna was fourteen years old when she married. She would have been 105 years old. Yet she was still fasting and praying night and day! Satan tries to convince us that God won't use us. He may cite things like age or lack of abilities, or failures that we've had. But just like Anna, there are many scriptural examples of the Lord using those who would be considered unusable by worldly standards.
Moses was eighty years old before he began to fulfill God's plan for his life and he worked right up until he was 120 years old. Abraham was in his nineties before he had the son that God had promised him.
Gideon was another one who looked unusable. He was hiding from the Midianites when an...
I DON'T REALLY LIKE BRINGING THIS UP BECAUSE I GET A LOT OF ANGRY PEOPLE WANTING TO KNOW WHAT BUSINESS IS IT OF MINE. WELL, I WILL TELL YOU, YOU ARE MY BUSINESS BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND WANT THE BEST FOR YOU. IS THAT SO TERRIBLY WRONG? WE ALL NEED A WAKE-UP CALL NOW AND THEN SO CONSIDER THIS YOUR WAKE-UP CALL.
Simeon didn't receive this knowledge through the normal method of learning. This knowledge was revealed to him directly from the Holy Spirit. This revelation knowledge which comes only from God is distinctly different than knowledge acquired through study. Man's knowledge is based on observation. It cannot give perfect instruction about the future. God's knowledge can. Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit we can know things to come (Jn. 16:13).
When dealing with God, revelation knowledge is essential. The Lord's ways are not always our ways (Isa. 55:8). A fear of trusting the intuitive knowledge that God gives us will cause us to miss many blessings of God.
If he hadn't received it and anticipated its fulfillment, what a...
The Old Testament passage being quoted is from Lev. 12:6-8. There the Lord commanded a lamb and a young pigeon or a turtledove as the prescribed sacrifice. If the woman was unable to offer a lamb, then two young pigeons or two turtledoves were acceptable. Mary would not have offered the lesser offering if it had been in her power to provide the lamb.
This reveals that Joseph and Mary were not well off financially, yet the Lord chose them to be the earthly parents of His only begotten Son.
The Lord doesn't choose the way man chooses. Man looks on the outward appearance but God looks on the heart (1 Sam. 16:7).
Mary and Joseph were chosen when they were without: without fame, without position, without money. God...
DID YOU KNOW WE ARE THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING THAT WILL EVER BE BOUGHT? THAT'S RIGHT, YOU AND ME, BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS IN 1ST CORINTHIANS 6:20 "For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." THE PRICE FOR YOU AND ME WAS THE LIFE OF JESUS WHICH HE GAVE WILLINGLY.
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT BABIES THAT ARE BORN DEAD, OR YOUNG CHILDREN THAT DIE, GO TO HEAVEN? DO YOU BELIEVE THAT SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE MENTALLY CHALLENGED GO TO HEAVEN WHEN THEY DIE? I CAN ASSURE YOU, ACCORDING TO GOD'S WORD, THAT THEY DO.
In another instance, Jesus said He did not come to send peace on the earth, but a sword. Then He prophesied that those who received Him would experience persecution, even from their own family (Mt. 10:34-36). How do these verses fit together?
The peace the angels were singing about was not a peace between men; they were rejoicing that there would be peace between God and man. When Jesus prophesied division and war in Matthew 10, he was speaking of relationships between men.
Through the Old Testament law, God began to release His wrath on man's sin (Rom. 4:15). It wasn't the wrath of Satan that Jesus suffered on the cross.
He suffered the wrath of His Father (Isa. 53:10-12; 2 Cor. 5:21). The Father placed His punishment for our sins on Jesus. This ended the war between...
YESTERDAY I WROTE THAT GOD WOULD ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS. TODAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT GOD HEALING YOU.
THE REASON I SAY THIS IS BECAUSE OF ACTS 10:34 WHERE PETER SAID "Of a truth I perceive...
Jesus did not grow into being Lord and Saviour. He was born that way. Jesus was God manifest in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). What a great mystery!
How could Almighty God limit Himself to the form of a man? And even if He did that, how could he possibly start as a baby? These questions defy human ability to fully understand.
At the dedication of the first temple, Solomon said, "But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!"
(2 Chr. 6:18) How much less the body of a little child!
Part of the answer lies in the fact that God is a spirit (Jn. 4:24). Spirits are not limited by time and space. In Jesus' spirit, He was the eternal God who...
