As I stood in an all but empty apartment this morning, I realized, yet again, just how blessed I truly am: 1) I wasn't involved in the violent domestic altercation in this apartment complex this morning that required at least 10 police officers. Thank You (LORD I ask you for salvation and restoration for those injured souls) 2) My lights have been turned off, but, I was able to get dressed and apply my makeup by the natural light that YOU provide. Thank You 3) I've been stripped of just about everything, but I can still rest on the floor. Thank You 4) I don't have use of a car right now, but, I do have use of my legs and feet. . . bless all the people who offered me a ride. Thank You 5) A church in walking distance. Thank You 6)...

Has God called you to be a "Noah" for your family? I know He has called me! I have built my ark and my family are all aboard; the winds and the storm has already hit us, we are now just awaiting the sign from the Holy Spirit that our "promised land" is just ahead! Enjoy this devotion from Rejoiceministries.org Scroggymommy5 aka Noah Noah Believed and Obeyed God "Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, ‘I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress wood...

An act of faith shall be in prayer, for prayer being a demonstration of a dependence upon God, ever-mindful...prayer without ACTION... shall be useless. For of the gifts, but not putting them forth are to be evidence of having no faith...for one cannot be idle...for the journey requires sacrifices and hard work...make no mistake! To pacify ones self in believing otherwise...one can expect only as much as one is willing to put forth. For does not God honor our faith, and the Divine Spirit of God shall be MOVED by ones faith... with ACTION! Know this and know it well. 'mirror, mirror on the wall...what is it that YOU see'... God love all that are 'close by'.

Back about a little over a year ago, when I was coming towards the place of knowing that I needed to surrender my whole life to Christ but being unwilling, this video really helped me: /> She is so joyful. I can attest to the truth in everything she said would happen because I have also come to the same conclusion that the heartbreak is worth it once you encounter Jesus. I personally had to give up a lot of things that I thought were my "identity," so that I could find out what He says about me. He loves us so much! If you are afraid of giving up things that you feel are your only source of comfort, don't be. If you truly seek Him, you will definitely find Him!

by David Wilkerson It is not enough for us simply to believe in God as creator, the maker of all things. We also have to believe that He’s a God who yearns to do the impossible in our lives. The Bible makes it very clear: If we don’t believe this about Him, we don’t trust Him at all. In my opinion, no amount of counseling will do a person any good if he doubts God for a miracle. Don’t misunderstand—I am not against Christian counseling. But it is useless to counsel someone who is not fully convinced God can fix his problem, no matter what the problem may be. Couples must believe that God can save their relationship; otherwise, my counsel is in vain. Things may appear absolutely hopeless to them; they may have built up...

Making a choice...on worldly terms...or on God's terms. A disturbing illusion... living on God's terms, yet appeasing and yielding to the terms of the worldly community is a profound separation of grave consequences, as complacency has left a spiritual vacancy throughout the community, far and wide. Make no mistake, experience is a great teacher of life happening.

I have been attending bible study more often but sometime I feel like I don't know enough to participate in the discussions. What are some of the most common scriptures that can help get me started and give me a better foundation. What are some of your favorite scriptures and why. PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT Thanks for your help

Why is it so difficult for Christians to discuss the deep spirit realm of GOD’s presence? I often want to tell people, particularly other Christians, about my face to face encounter with God. It seems like there is always an air of disbelief, especially if the person with whom you are sharing has not had a similar experience. This drives me crazy because I want to tell it to everybody, but I feel like I'm under some kind of vow of secrecy. MY ENCOUNTER: In June 2009, I saw God’s face in a vision; well, sort of. He appeared in the heavens. I could only view the outline of His features. It was as if His face was protruding through a snow white sheet of latex. It felt as though He had no race, yet embodied all races. His image filled...

While watching the Bible special on History channel this weekend my mind filled with questions about Jesus. We know the stories and have been taught all about Jesus, but I am left wondering about how He really was as a man. I am a teenager so I guess I just wonder how Jesus was as a teen as well. I wonder about the simple things we've never learned. Answers to my wonderings won't be answered until I am home and come face to face with my beloved Jesus, a day a long for and rejoice thinking about. But I wanted to share thoughts I've been having. I've been wondering what Jesus's embrace must of felt like. I have this feeling Jesus gave the best hugs. I bet they were warm and you can just feel how much love He had. This is the main thing...

Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress (Psalm 4:1 KJV) Just about every emotional challenge we experience today was faced by the psalmist during his lifetime. If we will observe what David did through his struggles, and receive from God the grace to respond as David responded, we can often overcome our challenges. David said he was being enlarged when he was in distress. What does that mean? It simply means David was growing in God while his faith was being stretched through his trials. Just as our bodies need exercised to be strengthened, the same is true in our spiritual life. God is committed to grow us spiritually. If we have no stress (trials) we will experience spiritual atrophy. God will not only allow...
