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.

"JESUS MEETS ALL OUR NEEDS" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2018-05-03
"JESUS MEETS ALL OUR NEEDS" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Matthew 14:16, "But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat."

MATTHEW 14:15-18


The disciples were using natural reasoning and recognized that they didn't have the ability to minister to the multitude's need for food. Jesus did have the ability and the willingness to minister to their needs, so the multitude did not need to depart. All of their needs could be met through Jesus.

The same thing is true today. Some disciples today are sending the multitudes to the world to meet their physical needs (finances, health, counseling, etc.) and proclaiming that God only meets spiritual needs. But, "they need not depart." The Lord is willing and able to heal our bodies, prosper us financially, or counsel us from His Word in any area of our life where we might have need.

Before we can be a blessing, we have to be blessed (Gen. 12:2). One of the purposes of...

"BE A CHEERFUL GIVER" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

"BE A CHEERFUL GIVER" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

HAVE YOU REALLY STUDIED WHAT PAUL WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN HE SAID IN PHILIPPIANS 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."  THIS IS A GREAT PROMISE BUT I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE IT THE WRONG WAY.  PAUL WAS TALKING TO HIS PHILIPPIAN PARTNERS WHEN HE SAID THIS AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE.  I KNOW THAT GOD WANTS TO SUPPLY THE NEEDS OF ALL HIS CHILDREN BUT IT WON'T WORK WITHOUT US BELIEVING AND GIVING. THE PHILIPPIANS WERE GIVERS AND I THINK THAT WHEN WE FAITHFULLY GIVE AS THEY DID, GOD WILL KEEP THIS PROMISE TO ALL OF US.



I BELIEVE LUKE 6:38 WILL BACK UP WHAT PAUL IS TELLING US.  IT SAYS "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure...

"THE FULL ARNOUR OF GOD" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

"THE FULL ARNOUR OF GOD" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

I KNOW WITH ALL THAT IS GOING ON IN EVERYONE'S LIFE WE SOMETIMES FORGET SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE NEED TO DO.  I AM TALKING ABOUT THINGS WE DO FOR OUR FAMILIES EVERY DAY.  I KNOW YOU WOULD NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN GO OUT IN BAD WEATHER WITHOUT THE PROPER CLOTHING ON BUT THERE IS SOMETHING MUCH MORE IMPORTANT TO DRESS THEM IN.  WE ALWAYS NEED TO PROTECT THEM FROM THE DEVIL.  IN JOHN 10:10, JESUS SAYS THAT "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy."   AS YOU KNOW JESUS WAS TALKING ABOUT THE DEVIL.


THIS IS JUST A REMINDER THAT WE SHOULD BE PUTTING ON THE FULL ARMOUR OF GOD ON OURSELVES AND OUR WHOLE FAMILY EVERY MORNING. HERE IS THE ARMOUR OF GOD AS FOUND IN EPHESIANS 6:13-17  "Wherefore take unto you the...

"REST AND RE-FIRE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"REST AND RE-FIRE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Mark 6:31, "And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat."

MATTHEW 14:13-21; MARK 6:30-44; LUKE 9:10-17; JOHN 6:1-14


Jesus often separated Himself from others so that He could spend time with the Father. Here, we see Jesus calling His disciples apart for rest and leisure. Many zealous Christians have neglected the needs of their physical bodies and have, therefore, cut their ministries short through death or severe illness. Likewise, many have failed to take the time to be still and know God (Ps. 46:10). This will also cut your ministry short through non-effectiveness. One of Satan's deadliest weapons against those involved in ministry is busy-ness. We must balance our time ministering to others with our time of being ministered to by our Father. If the devil can't...

"TAKING GOD'S NAME IN VAIN" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

"TAKING GOD'S NAME IN VAIN" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SEEN IN A TEXT MESSAGE OR A CARTOON OR HEARD SOMEONE SAY "OMG" OR "OH MY GOD"?   WOULD YOU SAY THAT THIS IS A SIN OF TAKING GOD'S NAME IN VAIN.  IT SAYS IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS THAT "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."  THE DICTIONARY SAYS "IN VAIN" MEANS "in an improper or irreverent manner

"NO PEACE FOR THE WICKED" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"NO PEACE FOR THE WICKED" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Luke 9:7, "Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some that John was risen from the dead."

MATTHEW 14:1-12: MARK 6:14-29; LUKE 9:7-9


Others may have thought Jesus was John the Baptist risen from the dead, but as can be clearly seen by looking at Matthew's account and especially Mark's record, Herod was convinced of this personally. This illustrates Herod's own conviction of the sin John had rebuked, his guilt and torment over his even greater sin of beheading John, and his fear of John and the God he represented. As revealed in Mark 6:20, Herod once listened to John gladly. It is certain that John was preaching his favorite message of, "Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." For Herod to hear him gladly, he must have been under deep conviction from God.

Herod feared his wife and the opinion of others...

"ARE YOU THE COMPASSIONATE ONE?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

"ARE YOU THE COMPASSIONATE ONE?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

IF A REALLY DRUNK MAN CAME TO YOUR CHURCH SUNDAY, WHAT WOULD BE THE REACTION OF THE CONGREGATION?  THERE WOULD PROBABLY BE TWO DIFFERENT REACTIONS.  ONE IS THAT SOME OF THE PEOPLE WOULD BE APPALLED THAT A DRUNK WOULD DARE SHOW UP IN THEIR CHURCH.  THE OTHER IS THAT SOME OF THE PEOPLE WOULD WELCOME HIM AND MAKE HIM FEEL LOVED.  WHAT WOULD YOUR REACTION BE?


WHAT IF THE MAN GOT BORN AGAIN THAT SUNDAY AND THE NEXT SUNDAY HE SHOWED UP DRUNK AGAIN?  NOW WHAT WOULD THE REACTIONS BE?  THE FIRST GROUP WOULD PROBABLY SAY "I TOLD YOU THAT HE WAS NOT REALLY SAVED".  HOW COULD THEY KNOW SINCE ONLY GOD KNOWS THE HEART?


I THINK THIS GOES ON IN CHURCHES AROUND THE COUNTRY.  I KNOW I HAVE SEEN IT IN MY LIFETIME, THE "HOLIER THAN THOU" AND THE "COMPASSIONATE".  THE "HOLIER THAN THOU" SEEM TO...
"HE REWARDS EVEN THE LITTLE THINGS" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Matthew 10:42, "And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward."

MATTHEW 10:1-42, 11:1, MARK 6:7-13, LUKE 9:1-6


This verse shows that even our smallest acts of kindness will be rewarded. As revealed in 1 Corinthians 3:13, every man's work shall be tried to determine "what sort it is," not what size it is. Many people who have never done anything to gain the attention of the masses will shine bright in the day when the Lord passes out His rewards.

Some of the Lord's rewards for our actions come in this life, such as children, financial blessings, health, and many others. However, some of our rewards will not be realized until we stand before God. This is the case with the reward for enduring persecution.

Many of the rewards for ministering the...

"JESUS HEALS THE BROKENHEARTED" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

AFTER READING SOME OF YOUR POSTS IN THE MORNINGS, I FEEL SO BAD FOR SOME OF YOU.  YOU KNOW WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT.  SOME OF YOU POST OF THE  HEARTBREAK YOU ARE EXPERIENCING.  SOME OF YOU ASK FOR PRAYER AND I AM SURE WE ALL PRAY FOR YOU BUT SOME OF YOU DON'T ASK.  IT IS NOT WRONG TO ASK. WE ARE ALL FAMILY AND ARE CONCERNED ABOUT EACH OTHER SO ASK IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.

 

HEARTBREAKS COME IN MANY WAYS.  THERE ARE DIVORCES AND BREAK-UPS.  THERE IS THE HEARTBREAK OF LOSING A JOB OR YOUR POSSESSIONS.  I GUESS THE GREATEST HEARTBREAK IS WHEN SOMEONE DIES. WHATEVER THE CAUSE, THE PAIN CAN BE DEVASTATING. 

 

THERE ARE MANY WAYS OF TRYING TO GET OVER A HEARTBREAK.  SOME PEOPLE RESORT TO ANGER, SOME GO ON AN...
