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.

"WORSHIP IS WARFARE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2018-04-19

Mark 5:6, "But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him."

MATTHEW 8:28-34; MARK 5:1-17; LUKE 8:27-39

The word "worshipped" is taken from the Greek word "proskuneo" which means "to prostrate oneself in homage to; do reverence to; adore." The fact that this tormented man ran to Jesus, and not away from Him, indicates that even "demon-possessed" people have a free will and Satan cannot control an individual without his consent.

Many battles have been fought over whether or not a Christian can be demon possessed. The Greek word for "possessed" literally means "to be demonized." The Bible makes no clear distinction between degrees of demon activity (such as oppressed, depressed, possessed, etc.), but simply refers to people as being "demonized." All Christians are fighting against spiritual powers. If we don't put on the whole armor of God, Satan can certainly affect us...

"WORD BECAME FLESH" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2018-04-18

When God speaks, His words are binding—they’re like an unbreakable contract. He always says exactly what He means, He never lies, and He never says, “Whoops, I’ve changed My mind.”

Hebrews 1:3 says, “Upholding all things by the word of his power,” and Psalm 89:34 says, “My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.”

This entire universe is being held together by the power of God’s words. It was His word that created the earth and every living thing on it, and by His words, He created Adam and Eve. He didn’t make them or any part of this world with His hands; He spoke it all into existence.Then, after creating all of this, He said,

And God blessed them,...

"JESUS....MAN, GOD AND SON OF GOD" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2018-04-18

BEFORE I GET STARTED THIS MORNING, I WOULD LIKE TO CLEAR UP SOMETHING. PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME WHY I KEEP SAYING THAT JESUS IS GOD INSTEAD OF THE SON OF GOD. HE IS BOTH. LET'S READ JOHN 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. NOW WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT THE BIBLE WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN IT SAYS "THE...

"SERVANT POWER" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2018-04-18

Mark 4:41, "And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

MARK 4:35-41

When God created this physical world and all of its inhabitants, He gave mankind authority to rule and subdue His creation. Although God still owned the universe and all that was in it, He gave control of the earth to man.

When man sinned, he began to use this power against God's wishes. God did not ordain all the terrible things that have happened throughout history, and yet He did not take back man's right to dominate the earth. Instead, He became a man and took back that authority to Himself by conquest. After Jesus' resurrection, He said in Matthew 28:18, "...All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth," and then He gave the great commission to His disciples, thereby conferring that authority upon them, also. Jesus...

"HEAL SOMEONE TODAY" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2018-04-17

EVERY TIME I READ ABOUT HEALING IN THE BIBLE IT MAKES ME WANT TO WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I KNOW I MIGHT TOUCH ON THE SAME THING SOMETIMES BUT PLEASE JUST BEAR WITH ME. THERE JUST MIGHT BE SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT REALLY NEEDS TO HEAR THIS OR HAS JUST BECOME A FRIEND OF MINE ON FACEBOOK. THANK YOU.

A LOT OF CHRISTIANS END MOST OF THEIR PRAYERS WITH "IF IT BE THY WILL". THIS IS WHETHER THEY ARE PRAYING FOR HEALING, FINANCIAL HELP OR A JOB THEY HAVE APPLIED FOR. AS FOR THE JOB, I CAN SEE PRAYING THIS WAY BECAUSE THE JOB JUST MIGHT NOT BE THE JOB GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE. THE DEAL IS, WILL YOU ACCEPT HIS ANSWER IF HE SAYS NO? JUST DON'T PUT HIM IN A BOX AND SAY "SHOULD I TAKE THIS JOB OR THAT JOB". HE MIGHT NOT WANT YOU TO HAVE EITHER ONE.

NOW AS FOR HEALING, THIS IS A DIFFERENT MATTER. WHY WOULD...

"PEACE IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2018-04-17

Mark 4:37-38, "And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master carest thou not that we perish?"

MATTHEW 12:46-50; 8:23-27; MARK 3:31-35; 4:35-41; LUKE 8:19-26

Considering the fact that the boat was filled with water, it is amazing that the disciples had to awaken Jesus. This was not a large ship with cabins below deck but rather a small, open boat and Jesus was, no doubt, "soaked to the bone." This reflects Jesus' humanity and how tired He must have been. It also shows that Jesus must have been in a very deep sleep. Medical science has discovered that the deeper we sleep, the more rest our bodies get. This is a clue as to how Jesus could maintain the grueling pace He kept, along only with an occasional all-night prayer time. He was...

"THE GIFT OF TONGUES" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2018-04-16

I HAVE BEEN QUESTIONED AGAIN AND AGAIN ABOUT SPEAKING IN TONGUES AND I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY TO EXPLAIN IT ONE MORE TIME BY TELLING YOU WHAT, I BELIEVE, THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT IT. HOWEVER, YOU NEED TO CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELVES. NEVER BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE TEACHING. THE BIBLE SAYS THERE ARE FALSE TEACHERS OUT THERE AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WE HEAR LINES UP WITH GOD'S WORD. HE IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY.

IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN, YOU HAVE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLING IN YOU AND I DON'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE TO SPEAK IN TONGUES TO PROVE IT, NO MORE THAN YOU HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT JESUS TO PROVE YOU ARE BORN AGAIN. IT IS A CHOICE THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE. WE CHRISTIANS HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE THE POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT. HE IS IN US ALL AND WE HAVE TO EXERCISE THAT RIGHT TO USE HIS POWER. IF WE DON'T, WE ARE MISSING OUT...

"JOINT HEIRS WITH CHRIST" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2018-04-16

Matthew 12:50, "For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."

MATTHEW 12:46-50

We are not just heirs, we are joint-heirs with Christ. It would be wonderful to inherit any amount of God's glory and power. But, the idea that we share equally with the one who has inherited everything God is and has is beyond comprehension. This is an awesome blessing, but it also places a tremendous responsibility on us.

In the same way in which a check made out to two people cannot be cashed without the endorsement of both parties, so our joint-heirship with Jesus cannot be taken advantage of without our cooperation. Unaware of this, many Christians are just trusting that the Lord will produce the benefits of salvation for them. They are acutely aware that they can do nothing without Him, but don't realize that He will do nothing...

"WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2018-04-15

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD BE DOING IF YOU ARE STILL ALIVE WHEN JESUS RETURNS? FOR ME, I HOPE I WOULD BE DOING SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE PLEASING TO HIM. IF WE ARE BORN AGAIN, WE SHOULD BE DOING THIS ALL THE TIME.

IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE SINNING, YOU WILL STILL GO TO HEAVEN. I SAY THIS BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ALL OF OUR SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN AND WE ARE JUST LIKE JESUS IS RIGHT NOW IN THIS WORLD. (1ST JOHN 4:17 Herein is our love...

"HIS CHOSEN TREASURES" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2018-04-15

Matthew 13:44, "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field."

MATTHEW 13:44-50

The interpretation of this parable is this: the field is the world, the man buying the treasure is God, the treasure is the true believers in Christ. The price that was paid was the very life of Jesus on the cross. Jesus saw, through His foreknowledge, a remnant of people who would receive Him as Lord, and "for the joy that was set before him," He endured the cross (Heb. 12:2) and purchased us unto Himself with His own blood (Acts 20:28). He purchased the whole world, but not everyone will receive what He did. Therefore, the Church is hidden (scattered among the world) today.

Father God had the plan of salvation worked out before He even created the world....
