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.

"THE BATTLE IS IN THE MIND" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2019-09-11


The Battle Is In The Mind




Matthew 21:21 'Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.'




Jesus makes it very clear that we must have faith and doubt not. Every believer has faith, but most believers also have an abundance of doubt that negates their faith. It is when we purify our faith and only believe, that victory comes.

Every Christian is at war. There is a perpetual struggle against Satan and his kingdom where there are no 'leaves' or 'discharges.' Our enemy goes about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Pet. 5:8). Those who...


WILL YOUR HOLINESS GET YOU TO HEAVEN?

 

HOW MUCH DOES HOLINESS COUNT WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR SALVATION?  I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT GO TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY AND HAVE BEEN DOING SO ALL THEIR LIVES. IT HAS BECOME SUCH A HABIT THAT THEY WOULD NOT CONSIDER MISSING FOR ANY REASON.  I WONDER WHAT THEY WOULD SAY IF YOU ASK THEM WHAT IT WAS LIKE WHEN THEY WERE SAVED.  THEY SHOULD REMEMBER BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE GREATEST THING THAT HAD EVER HAPPENED TO THEM OR THAT EVER WILL.  I AM AFRAID THERE ARE SOME THAT DID IT JUST BECAUSE IT WAS EXPECTED OF THEM.  I WONDER IF THOSE PEOPLE ARE REALLY BORN AGAIN.  ONLY JESUS KNOWS.

"WORKS DON'T SAVE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Works Don't Save




Mark 11:16 'And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.'




Only Mark points out that Jesus would not suffer anyone to carry any vessel through the temple. No explanation is offered by Mark as to why Jesus would not allow this. It is probable that Jesus wanted His Father's house to be dedicated completely to prayer and the ministry of God. Also, as with the Sabbath, work symbolizes our own effort, and our own effort will always fall short of what God demands for salvation. Therefore, anything that resembled work was inappropriate in the house of God.

What are 'works of the law?' Any rule, command or law that a person observes in an attempt to be accepted in right standing with God is a 'work of the law.'...

"GOD DOES LOVE A CHEERFUL GIVER" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

GOD DOES LOVE A CHEERFUL GIVER

 

HAVE YOU EVER REALLY STUDIED AND THOUGHT ABOUT THE VERSE 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 DO BELIEVE GOD WANTS TO SUPPLY THE NEEDS OF ALL HIS CHILDREN BUT IT WANT WORK WITHOUT US GIVING.  NOT ALL OF HIS CHILDREN GIVE THE WAY THE PHILIPPIANS DID.  I THINK THAT WHEN WE FAITHFULLY GIVE AS THEY DID, THEN GOD WILL KEEP THIS PROMISE TO ALL OF US.

"THE WORD PRODUCES FRUIT" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

The Word Produces Fruit




Matthew 21:14 'And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.'



MATTHEW 21:12-14



When we, who are the temple of the Lord, are occupied with the cares of this life, the needs of others are not met. However, when we are cleansed (Jn. 15:3), then the Lord can accomplish His ministry through us.

Jesus tells us not to worry or be anxious about our material needs being met. It would be impossible to never think about our physical needs, even Jesus thought about His need for money to pay taxes. We are simply not to be occupied with thinking about riches or spend time worrying about our necessities. They will be added unto us as we seek first the kingdom of God.

Prosperity can...


DO YOU HAVE THE PEACE OF JESUS?

 

I'LL BET THAT IF YOU ASK A HUNDRED PEOPLE TO EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT PROPITIATION MEANS, NOT MANY WILL KNOW THE ANSWER.  DO YOU?  I DIDN'T KNOW FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL I LOOKED IT UP.  I KNEW IT WAS IN CONNECTION WITH JESUS GOING TO THE CROSS AND THAT HE IS THE PROPITIATION FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD, BECAUSE THE BIBLE TELL US THAT, BUT I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE WORD MEANT.

"OUR WORDS ARE ALIVE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2019-09-08


Our Words Are Alive




Mark 11:14 'And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.'




Notice that this verse says that Jesus 'answered' this fig tree. The tree had not spoken to Him verbally but it communicated that it had figs by the leaves on it. It is a fact that a fig tree should have figs by the time the leaves are evident. A fig tree actually produces green figs before the leaves appear and if no figs are produced by that time, then the tree will not have any figs that year. This fig tree was professing something that it didn't have even though it was still too early for figs.

Not only plants, but other things can communicate with us too. Circumstances can tell you that you have failed....
