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

Scriptures Against Fear The following is a list of scriptures on fear. Use them when fear is attempting to come. Fear does not necessarily mean danger, it simply means fear. We associate fear with danger because that is how our body interacts with our God given motivation for self preservation. When we go into a dark room, we might sense fear, especially if we are apprehensive about the dark, but that does not mean that there actually is a danger. It only means that there is an unknown, and that unknown can breed fear – fear of the unknown. To fight the fear of the unknown, counteract it with faith based on the known – the known will of God. All Scriptures are from the King James Version The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want...

Scriptures Against Hopelessness These scriptures on hopelessness will give you hope and will build your faith. Confess and meditate on them to win the fight against hopelessness. The whole fight is about not losing Hope. Allow the hope of God to flow into you. Remember, there is a real Person (God) behind each and every one of these promises. He promised them to you for a reason – to help you. Depression is the emotional result of hopelessness. Joy is the emotional result of hope. Peace is the emotional result of faith. God’s hope encourages, motivates, and keeps you on the road to faith, peace, and victory. Hopelessness breeds and creates the ‘feeling‘ of depression. Fight it with the Word of God. And if you suffer from deep...

Lately, I have been seeing lives all around me falling apart with troubles of every sort. Knowing I was powerless to fix these problems myself; I called on the Lord and He gave me revelation by His word. John 12:24 states, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He also showed me many more scriptures about the shaking of things in the earth and in the heavens, scriptures about families falling apart and family member being enemies, one against another. Scriptures about love waxing cold, and peace was leaving. The scriptures list was very lengthy and certainly wasn't very positive. The Lord let me know He wasn't interested in...

AGAINST ALL HOPE! Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. Romans 4:18-21 Do you feel today that your marriage being restored is "against all hope?" I know you may be battling your emotions and feelings since Christmas and the New Year holidays, but never forget how you started...

Today I chose a special devotional from Bob about what you can be sure of in this new year. Bob who was a prodigal who returned home and was remarried to me for an additional 23 years before the Lord took him home to Heaven. Bob wrote 19 books from the prodigal's perspective for more than two decades after our divorce and remarriage. - Charlyne TOP TEN "FOR SURE" THIS NEW YEAR Can you look at the arrival of 2014 not as another year of standing, but as another year of promise, another year for you to serve the Lord and another year for Him to answer your prayers? We fully understand that we all are living in precarious predicaments in unsettled times. Trouble seems to abound on every side, from the political arena to the job market...

We pray that you will pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We pray that the Lord will do a mighty work, not only in your life, but also in your husband’s or wife’s life and in your children's lives this year. David sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior - from violent men...
