Recently a Christian friend of mine who is a computer expert of sorts told me that he thinks playing the lotto is no big deal. According to him, it's simply playing the odds as a computer generates a random number and this determines the winner. He thinks gambling like this is a sport, but like everything else, must come under the principle of moderation in scripture, and should be mastered (you should not allow yourself to become the servant of it). I admire his liberty where this is concerned, and tend to agree with his reasoning to a point. But does the scripture say anything definitive on this issue? response Let's look at lotteries from a Biblical basis. The Lord is absolutely sovereign over everything in the...

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TODAY? “**I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,**” he replied. “**Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.**” Acts 9:5(b) I left our church when we separated for the final time and started attending a church with a large (forgive me, Lord) singles' ministry. Although we were months away from divorce, I was also soon attending divorce recovery. No one told me that I was being sinful, not single, in my lifestyle. ### would send messages about upcoming events for our children at our home church. My standard answer was that I would “**never darken the door**” of that church again. I remarried ### with the stipulation that we find another church. We were remarried on Wednesday. After our...

Answer: Some people have found that using Bible verses in their prayers is an effective way to pray. “Praying Scripture back to God” seems to help to focus the mind and to assure that the subject matter of the prayer is pleasing to God. James 5:16 says, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (KJV). First John 5:15–16 says, “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.” The word effectual means “sufficient to produce a desired result.” Fervent means “constant, strenuous, and intense.” James and John are both telling us that for our prayers to be effective...

One may ask, Oh my God...why must it hurt so? This is said to be... My child, you speak to me with words, because that is how you have learned to speak, but I speak to you with Feelings, Feelings that you can Recognize. Sometimes I speak to you with Joy, and Feelings of Love, Peace, Serenity, and of Comfort and a knowingness about yourself. These Feelings are those I would have for you to have, as you follow My Path, which I have set before you.....There are times, however, when you set out on a path on your own, A path that you need to travel.....But in a path that is not My Path, beware of the dangers. It is in those times one may know Pain, feelings of Aloneness, Despair, and Agony, for there one will understand they...

According to 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. Now what exactly are these seducing spirits and how do they manifest? Well, I will tell you. They will come to you in the form of cute teddy bears and Curious George dolls. Dolls they use to possess and gain access into a person's life. "Free Delivery" to your home and they will dwell there. And these dolls can come to life like a Jim Henson muppet movie. Which is where I believe Henson got the idea from to begin with. I've read he was involved in a satanic pact as many of the ideas can be attributed to channeling through these entities. Kermit the frog is not...

Will you allow the Lord to put MUD in your eyes? (John 9:5-7) "While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world." When He had said this, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and applied the clay to his eyes, and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam " (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing." What circumstances do you have going on in your life that are frustrating, uncomfortable, troublesome and maybe has your worried, your not sure of what the outcome will be or when it will be over? Will you allow the Lord to put mud in your eyes? Maybe He is allowing it in order to bring about change in YOU. Instead of fretting over it, ask instead, "What are you trying to...

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE & PROCLAIM? So do not be ashamed to testify about our LORD, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. 2 Timothy 1:8-9 Are you proclaiming and sharing the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ as you stand for the restoration of your marriage? I could never have accomplished what the Lord called me to do, which was to pray and stand in the gap for ###, without the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then the Lord called ### and I to proclaim the Gospel of salvation, healing and marriage restoration. We have been able to proclaim that God can...
