LORD, DIRECT MY HEART & FOOTSTEPS! Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD. Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart. They do nothing wrong; they walk in his ways. Psalm 119:1-3 Are you discouraged or defeated because of your marriage problems or are you walking in faith regardless of the circumstances? Does your heart feel like it is breaking in two right now? Do you know how to get relief from your pain, or your anxiety and fear of the unknown future regarding your marriage? Ask your Lord to heal your broken, wounded, rejected heart, right now. He can become your great Physician, greatest Counselor and closest Friend. The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on...

BELIEVE AND OBEY 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; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out." Genesis 6:11-14 Have you read in Genesis about Noah and the ark recently? A few years ago there was a family movie with a modern version of Noah's Ark, called "Evan Almighty." Noah's story has a powerful lesson for you and the world to learn. I must share with you that more than 20 years ago...

WILL YOU SEEK HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS? "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33 What a beginning for 2014 with snowy weather in so many states! I pray that you are home safe from any holiday traveling and have started a new year with the Lord, your family and back at work. May I ask you a personal question this new year? Where are you spiritually compared to last year? Are you closer to the Lord or are you drifting away because of your own emotions and feelings of despair or hopelessness? Are you thinking, “I don't have time to read the Bible and pray? You don't understand my schedule! Look at all that I must do!" Are these some of your thoughts today? I pray that...

"DID YOU REALLY WANT CHARLYNE TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE AFTER YOUR DIVORCE?" No, I did not. I have never talked with a prodigal who seriously desired that their one-flesh mate find and become involved with someone else. They may exist, but I have never encountered a prodigal whose heart-felt desire was that someone else take their place. I do know, however, scores of prodigals who went haywire when their abandoned spouse began to date. Why then, do we prodigals carry on about our abandoned mates finding someone else and getting on with life, when we do not really mean it? To alleviate our own guilt. We attempt to justify that if our spouse was involved with someone, we would not appear as guilty to family, to friends, and even to God. The...

The Eyes Have It They went right into the house where he was staying, and Jesus asked them, “Do you believe I can make you see?†“Yes, Lord,†they told him, “we do.†Then he touched their eyes and said, “Because of your faith, it will happen.†Matthew 9:28-29 (NLT) In the Bible, our eyes are utilized as a representation of a person’s ability to obtain the light of God. They are symbols of our mental understanding and spiritual character. As believers we receive His grace, which is compared to the opening of eyes so we may see what He is doing. Our God is a God of order. Nothing He does is by chance. For instance, it is not an accident that at the hub of the solar system is the Sun, providing light. Life is driven by...

Have you ever been in a place in your life or maybe you are there right now, where you have felt overwhelming despair. How long has it been since you have felt healing love, if ever? A love so great, it heals all that is broken within you, heart and soul. Do you see yourself as a broken vessel, worthless and no hope? Are you brokenhearted, have you been down a path that you wish you had not taken? You have messed up royally along the way and hurt many people or maybe even destroyed some lives. Maybe you have lost loved ones and you are feeling all alone. You are also probably wondering about me and what I could possibly know about any of the situations mentioned above. Well I know a lot; life experience has taught me a lot about not...

FREEDOM FOR THE PRISONERS! Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. He taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. And he stood up to read. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Luke 4:14-19 What an awesome promise from our...

Authority in Prayer – Kenneth E. Hagin By Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin In teaching on prayer for so many years, I always take two particular Bible texts. The reason I choose these two for my main texts is because I don’t believe there are any better. These two texts will cover anything you want to teach on the subject of prayer. The first text I use is Ephesians 6:18, in which Paul is writing to the believers at Ephesus. The second text is John 15:7, which says, “If ye abide in me [Jesus], and MY WORDS abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.†This verse is all-inclusive, because Jesus said “My words.†Therefore, any word the Bible teaches on the subject of prayer is covered by John 15:7. If Jesus had...

Seven Reasons Why Every Believer Should Speak in Tongues – Hagin By Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin The Apostle Paul wrote and spoke much about the subject of speaking in other tongues, and he apparently practiced what he preached, for he said, “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all†(1 Cor. 14:18). The purpose of this particular article is to briefly set forth seven reasons why every Christian should speak in tongues and to help believers see the blessings that can be theirs through daily appropriating the power of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Reason Number One The Word of God teaches that when we are filled with the Holy Ghost, we speak with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance. Speaking in tongues is an...

The rain is coming down, the wind is blowing hard. I'm thinking: "What's the reason for leaving without love?" If you go through day day, just do things for a pay. And maybe have some passion to brighten you hard day. But if you have no love, you don't know know how to give You may as well be robot- why do you need to live? If no one's out there to care for and love No matter what you are earning - there's no joy in all that stuff But try doing things for others, and you will be alright. You,ll find a whole new meaning, And future will be bright
