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.

FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH ILLNESSES, I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU THAT WILL HELP. I HAVE BEEN PUTTING ONE OF THESE STATEMENTS ON FACEBOOK EVERY MORNING FOR SOME TIME NOW. I GOT THEM FROM READING KENNETH HAGEN'S BOOK ON HEALING AND HE GAVE A FEW STATEMENTS THAT YOU CAN STAND ON FOR YOUR HEALING. I WILL GIVE YOU TWO VERSES ON STANDING. (1ST CORINTHIANS 15:58 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.) (1ST CORINTHIANS 1613 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.)
In Romans chapter one, Paul calls himself a servant of Jesus Christ. Out of the six Greek words for "servant" used in the New Testament, Paul used one of the most slavish terms possible. The word used in this passage is "doulos" and comes from the root word "deo" which means "bind." Paul literally speaks of himself as a bondman or slave of Jesus Christ - a slave by free choice; yet owned and purchased by Jesus Christ.
The idea of being a love-slave by choice comes from Old Testament passages such as Exodus 21:2-6 and Deuteronomy 15:12-17. If an Israelite bought a Hebrew slave, he must set him free in the seventh year. However, if the slave loved his master and said, "I will not go away from thee," then a...
We have angels assigned to us. Hebrews 1:14 further reveals that their purpose is to minister to us, on our behalf. In the Old Testament, Psalm 91 teaches on the ministry of angels to God's people.
Some people who have realized this truth have taken it as far as to say that we are suppose to speak to our angels and they will obey our commands. There is no instruction in scripture to do this nor is there any example of that being done. We don't have the intelligence to administer all of the angels.
Many of the angels' protective duties described in Psalm 91 are preventative, and we certainly could not effectively command these activities.
Rather, these angels are dispatched exactly as this verse describes - by looking at the Father's face (Mat. 18:10). God Almighty controls them for...
DO YOU USE BAD LANGUAGE? DO YOU THINK IT IS A SIN? THE BIBLE HAS A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS AND I WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT A FEW THINGS IT BRINGS UP. PAUL WROTE IN EPHESIANS 4:29 TO "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers." PETER PUTS IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT WHEN HE SAYS IN 1ST PETER 3:10 "For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile".
It is not our individual acts of sin that make us a sinner. It is our sin nature that makes us commit individual acts of sin. Adam's one sin produced a sin nature in all men that in turn, caused each person to commit individual acts of sin. Jesus not only dealt with the original sin that contaminated the human race, but He also dealt with each individual act of sin.
Anyone who is trying to obtain righteousness through their actions is totally missing the point. Believers are made righteous through faith in Christ, independent of their actions. It's the same way that everyone was made a sinner: through Adam's one sin, not through our individual sins.
At salvation, our old man (Rom....
BEFORE I GET STARTED THIS MORNING, I WOULD LIKE TO CLEAR SOMETHING UP. 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 1:1-2 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God." NOW WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT THE BIBLE WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN IT SAYS "THE WORD WAS GOD". WHO IS THE WORD? LET'S READ THE 14TH VERSE OF JOHN 1 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." THAT COULD ONLY BE TALKING ABOUT JESUS SO JESUS IS THE WORD.
How do you walk in the Spirit? The way you do this is through living by, conducting your actions according to, and following the leading of the Word of God as quickened to you by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit and the Word of God agree perfectly because the Holy Spirit is the one who inspired the written Word of God.
Denying the flesh will not result in walking in the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit will result in denying the flesh. This may seem like a subtle difference to some, but the difference is truly profound. As a whole, false religions teach that as we overcome our flesh, there is a noticeable increase in the presence and power of God in our lives. That was what the Pharisees of Jesus' day and the legalistic Jews of Paul's day taught. Just the...
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY JESUS' DISCIPLES ASKED HIM TO TEACH THEM TO PRAY INSTEAD OF HOW TO DO MIRACLE OR PREACH. LOOK WHAT IS SAYS IN LUKE 11:1 "And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, 'Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples'."?
