IS YOUR FAITH CRUSHED? But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 Have you ever seen a mustard seed? Many years ago I wanted to show our standers the size of a mustard seed. In our monthly newsletter mail out, we enclosed a single mustard seed in a small plastic bag. We still know of standers who have their mustard seed packet in their Bible that they received quite a while ago. At our recent September Rejoice Pompano Bible Study, I did a teaching that was titled, What Are You Sowing Into Your Marriage...

LORD, RESCUE ME FROM EVERY EVIL ATTACK! But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. 2 Timothy 4:17-18 One night years ago, I walked out our office door and started walking to my car, which was parked at the last parking space. Almost instantly, there was a man trying to grab my purse, screaming and chasing me to my car. I did not have automatic locks on my car many years ago, so only by the grace of God I got the key in the lock, but the burglar was fighting the car door trying to get me and my...

I was sitting here,talking to God, and I looked over at the bookshelf and saw one of my daddy's Bibles sticking out near the edge. I decided to get it and read a little. I opened it and wondered where I should start. I thought, "I'll let Daddy tell me where to read and looked for places where he may have marked or turned down the corner of a page. Well, the Bible was FULL of "markings" and "underlinings" and all kinds of little graphics he had written in places he thought were significant! I started reading and there would be a phrase underlined with brackets around it.... a little farther down the page there was more underlining with a star beside the verse. I started focusing on what I was reading and it was as if my daddy was sitting...

I HAVE SEEN HIS WAYS, BUT I WILL HEAL HIM! “I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him, creating praise on the lips of the mourners in Israel. Peace, peace, to those far and near,†says the Lord. “And I will heal them.†Isaiah 57:18 “God, do you see all that my spouse to doing to me? Where are You? Why are You not standing up and defending me and our children? How long do I have to wait?†Will you believe that God can touch and transform your spouse into the man or woman of God that you are praying and waiting for their personal encounter with the Lord? What a promise! I will heal them, but when? Is that how you feel sometimes? Yes, I know. Because I did, also. But then I found out...

The Valley of Dry Bones 37 The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?†I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.†4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to...

Getting Over The Other Person Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9 We recently received a panic email that was not unlike the wording of many we receive. This person's spouse was on the way home, right then. They did not know what to do next. Charlyne and I share on this topic in books, in audio teachings and here in Charlyne Cares, but some people are so focused on their current problems they cannot prepare for...

THE LAMB OF GOD - WHO TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!†John 1:29 Do you know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of your life on this Lord’s Day? Do you have a daily personal relationship with the Lord? Does your husband/wife know Jesus as Savior and Lord of their life? Do your children know Jesus as Savior of their lives? How many loved ones know Jesus personally in your family? May this be the day that you cry out to the Lord Jesus to go and touch your lost loved ones in your family to ask Jesus Christ to become Savior and Lord of their lives forever. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son...

When God Says "No" If you have ever prayed to God, you have experienced the situation when you just know that God is going to grant you what you are asking for. Because God is a benevolent God, we just know that the implied answer to our petition is going to be a “yes†but then we come away disappointed because He said “no†to our request. An answer of “no†is taken by many as a rejection or defeat. Is God not pleased with me? Why me? What must I do to get a “yes†answer? Such was the situation with King David’s desire to build a permanent house or home for God. Since the time of the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, God’s Tabernacle had been a tent which fit the nomadic wanderings of His people, Israel. However...

YOUR SPOUSE NEEDS TO FEAR THE LORD! Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. I cried out to him with my mouth; his praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! Psalm 66:16-20 Do you know how much your Lord loves you today? He is right there with you in the midst of all your marriage problems. I pray that you will seek your Lord daily to know Him in a newer and more personal way. Start talking to Him throughout your entire day, you will be so blessed. We understand your pain, your rejection, the abandonment and...
