Sometimes when we want to do something, the person who can help us is "backed up." You go to a car maintenance/repair shop and they tell you, we're "backed up" we can't fit you in for a few hours. Or we, ourselves, sometimes don't "get to" things because we're "overloaded." So now, when I have prayer requests, usually after giving one prayer request, another problem soon pops up, so I have to plea for that one, too. After that, another, etc. So I notice that, in order of how I requested them, maybe a few months later a request from the past is answered, but I still have the most recent problem. So while most Christians would say, well, it's in God's time and not ours, {easy for them to say, they're not the one in the problem}, I wonder...

Sometimes Jesus wants us all go through pain in the heart, in the mind, in the body and through other people's actions and words. Do not take it to heart. Just ask the Lord to take it away from you and save the souls of those who are making you feel in pain. Pain should not make us look down on ourselves. It should draw us closer to Jesus. He sends health, peace and joy in our life, but sometimes we have to go through pain and sorrow. Pain should not make us look back to where it started and where it will end. Sometimes Jesus wants us to go through excruciating pain so we shall call and depend on Him for healing us. It is so difficult for us to see wisdom in the scars we have in our heart and body. But with time and wisdom from...

"Beelzebub they called him" They preached strange doctrines, those leaders of men and teachers of religious law. Perhaps they mislabeled Jesus because they were smelling themselves; or more aptly, smelling the stench of their own sins, smeared on this clean vessel. Whatever the reason, they were wrong. I'm so glad they were wrong! They did not understand that, unlike the postman, who only delivers the mail, but does pay the postage; or the stamp which covers the cost, but cannot deliver the package; JESUS came to settle the whole matter. He paid the price in full; accepted the delivery on our behalf; and descended into hell, in person, to "RETURN TO SENDER;" the package of condemnation "in the devil's face!" Why then, would you, in...

With my whole heart I shall teach children the love of God. They need to know they are loved and cared.

Jesus clearly told us. My home is not here. If it were angels would come and defend me. His kingdom is forever and He wants us all to be with Him in heaven. Blessed be the name of the Lord for revealing us the truth and nothing but the truth. All the millions of dollars you have will not enter heaven. Not the gold or silver. The only thing it shall enter heaven is the souls we brought to His feet and the eternal word written down in our hearts.

God, in all His wisdom, has a purpose for our pain, a reason for our suffering, a path for our struggles, and a gift for our steadfast faithfulness. "Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not on you own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your path straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6) NIV. This is a cup that we must drink from...the same cup of the Lord's if we are to follow Him. "You don't know what you are asking." Jesus said, "can you drink from the cup that I drink or be baptized with? Jesus said to them, you WILL drink from the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with..." (Mark 10:38-39) NIV. Jesus is speaking to His disciples and telling them the cost of following Him. They drank...

Yes, crying out loud to God for mercy. Asking for His help on our way to heaven. Jesus is at the door of our life. When tears come to our eyes, know that Jesus will wipe all away from you. Compassion, mercy and care are in the heart of God.

Scripture: Proverbs 4:11: I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. God has a plan for us. Our goal as Christians is to be conformed to the character and image of Jesus as we follow God's plan for our lives. When our lives are in God’s hands and our hearts are yielded to God’s will, then no one and nothing can prevent His ultimate victory for us and in us. But we need wisdom. How do we get the gift of wisdom? We ask God for it without doubting! James 1:5 states, “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” Trusting the Lord for wisdom has a huge effect on us and the way we conduct our lives. Rather than losing heart, God...

God has given us wonderful eye sight to see His creation all over the place praising the Lord and showing us great things He has done for us. Wonderful, merciful Savior Precious Redeemer and friend. Open our eyes to see Your face. Open our hearts to feel your presence. Open our minds to understand Your word. Counselor, Comforter, keeper, Spirit we long to embrace. You offer hope when our hearts hopelessly lost our way. Ask and ye shall receive. Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see how good God is. Blessed are you who run to Him. Psalm 34.8 Let us all run to Jesus. He will show us wonderful things He has stored for us.

Being in attack by evil spirits for a long time? Jesus will drive them away. Jesus went all the way from Galilee to Gerasenes ONLY to deliver the possessed man. He knew the people there will not accept Him. Luke 8:26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[a]which is across the lake from Galilee. Being in infirmity by witchcraft for years? Jesus will set free. The woman with a hunchback for eighteen years was delivered by Jesus from Satan's hold. Luke 13:12, 13 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” 13 Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God. (Jews were experts in witchcraft, we read in Bible in many...
