What is the state of our relationship with God? Are we conformed to the world while yet proclaiming His name? "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him." (1 John 2:15). The Lord addresses this, and many other issues, in Matthew 7:21-23. These Word’s are hard to read as it forces us to evaluate the depths of our hearts. Why is this important? Because too many seek out what they want to hear and follow those who will use this to establish themselves before men. Choosing not to seek the truths from God, but to heave their ears ‘itched’. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will...

I can tell you a lot of similarities between this world and hell,but not many differences.2 differences__living in this fallen world is temporary, until we die or the Rapture.but hell is for eternity.Also, the physical discomfort,the flames and heat in hell. But the similarities are far more. First, hell wasn't created for man,but he went there because of inherited fallen nature from Adam. This fallen world wasn't Gods original plan for man, but we're here because of original sin.Second, Hell is distinguished from Heaven by the fact that there's suffering and we don't have the perfect atmosphere of Heaven. This world is different than Heaven because of the imperfections.Check! In Hell, people suffer.Here, because it's the devils world...

(Please forbear me in any typographical or grammatical errors, I am so not perfect) God is still in the business of “calling.” Just because you don’t understand another person’s call, does not give you authority to speak against them. I would caution you not to judge that which you do not understand. Instead of praying that God deactivate those of His calling, you may ask Him to give you a better understanding of His purpose for your own life, that He may bestow upon you a greater calling. Sometimes God tells us to be still, yet at other times He tells us to speak out, yet, in neither directive, is He first obligated to acquire man’s approval . . . NO MAN. While wasting time trying to determine another’s...

As I read through all the prayers listed, though many are great and pressing needs, I am amazed that more do not consider the glory of God. That is why Jesus taught us first to pray That His Father receive Honor, then his Kingdom would Come, then His will be done. Jesus seemed to have this concern about His Father in Heaven's Name, His Kingdom and His Will being accomplished. Unless we are reminded, we all gravitate toward earth and forget, much less consider or pray about, these first topics contained in Matthew 6:9-10. The secondary part of The Prayer Jesus Taught covers our essentials and our needs -- provision, forgiveness, protection from sin and deliverance from evil (Matt 6:12-14). Every condition mankind suffers from...

I have a belief about something, see who agrees.The devil can mislead people,etc. But some things I don't see the devil as doing ,is,he doesn'tb contact us personally.Like, who of us can say, the devil called or texted us on our cell phone and said, "I'm the devil, and I'm here to harass you."HOWEVER,what I DO believe is that the devil puts some people of his choosing in our lives, to cause us problems..It's happened to me enough times that I don't think it's happening by chance.Like, I used to have a certain schedule and way of doing things,then a while back I started dealing with someone job related who has turned everything upside down on me. This wasn't happening nearly as much BEFORE I started dealing with her,so the closer I look...

Sadly, those who scream “fake news,” the loudest, are most often, the very ones who plant the seeds of such rotten fruit, in an effort to create deterrence from the truth by sowing discord among brethren. We may be able to persuade many men; even the highest of religious men in the land, because they are, yet, but mere men; we can never deceive God. GOD IS OMNISCIENT and He is no respecter of man. He knew us before we were knitted in our mother’s womb. Regardless of how high our office, or how prominent our position, God will deal with us: “Accordingly, according to their deeds, I will repay my adversaries.” We have the option to choose integrity. Not only do we defile our position, we likewise show reckless...

One trick I notice the devil uses{he's done this to me} is that you could be in a situation that's a problem for you,,there's no "gap" in the problem, but then, when you make up your mind to pray about it, lo and behold, all of a sudden the problem "lightens up", so you migh think to "lighten up" in dealing with it{like a troublesome person will be more cooperative}, so you might think "problem solved",BUT JUST WHEN YOU LIGHTEN UP THEN THE PROBLEM COMES BACK AS STRONG AS EVER.So what I think is happening here is ,the devil knows you're about take action on the problem he's sent you,so he'll "roll over",then when you "ease up" and DON'T pray, he lowers the boom. I believe this is a trap. I somehow don't think this is a coincidence,Don't...

My heart is empty and sad when I am not singing songs of praise to Jesus. When He command us to sing unto Him songs of praise, He had a reason to say so. Sing unto the Lord a new song. Sing unto the Lord all the earth. Sing unto the Lord, bless His name. Show forth His salvation from day to day. Psalm 96.1,2 When trials and tribulations come to your life, When Satan tempts you to disobey Gods word. When eveyone is against you and reject Jesus word. Then it is time to sing praises to the Lord. Tell Him all your pain and all your sorrow. He is close to you and will hear the cry of your heart. Hear the voice of the Lord. Enter His gates with thanksgiving...

In the age of modern technology and prayer sites, is easy to hit "Quick Reply" and forget to actually request anything from God... It may register on our "Content Count" and increase our earthly "reputation," but we must not fool ourselves that we have actually prayed if we have not asked anything from God in faith believing it is received. We must never swap our computer screen, tablet or smart phone for a relationship with God. Our Heavenly Father likes us to approach Him, and in confidence, ask from Him on behalf of ourselves and others, and firmly believe we receive from Him. That is prayer as defined by Christ, His Apostles, and His Old Testament Prophets and Scriptures teach the self-same thing. Prayer is primarily made...

The Lies we tell ourselves: I am not smart enough, pretty enough , happy enough, I am just not enough of anything. The world says we are not: Rich enough: satisfied enough, strong enough, tough enough, sexy enough wise enough. I AM HERE TO TELL YOU TODAY THAT YOU ARE ENOUGH!.. JESUS SAYS YOU ARE ENOUGH. Don't believe me? Look at these verses: Psalm 139:14 says "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Eph. 2:10 “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ...
