What is God telling you with the problems He permits in your life? The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you respond to them. Unfortunately most people fail to see how God wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring. Here are five ways God wants to use the problems in your life: God uses problems to DIRECT you. Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention? "Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways." Proverbs 20:30 (GN) God uses problems...

A little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox. He had with him his box of cars and trucks, his plastic pail, and a shiny, red plastic shovel. In the process of creating roads and tunnels in the soft sand, he discovered a large rock in the middle of the sandbox. The boy dug around the rock, managing to dislodge it from the dirt. With no little bit of struggle, he pushed and nudged the rock across the sandbox by using his feet. (He was a very small boy and the rock was very huge.) When the boy got the rock to the edge of the sandbox, however, he found that he couldn't roll it up and over the little wall. Determined, the little boy shoved, pushed, and pried, but every time he thought he had made some progress...

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to determine whose prayers should be most effective, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island. The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren. After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was...

"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 15:55-57) Camille was riding in the car with her daddy. Since it was a beautiful summer day, the windows were partially down. All of a sudden a big bee came in through an open window. Camille immediately began to panic because she was very allergic to bee stings – she could die if the bee stung her! Camille's father knew what he needed to do. He watched the bee carefully. As the bee flew up near the windshield it landed on the dashboard for a brief second. With reflexes like lightning, Camille's father cupped his hand...

My Humble Lord, How you show me, The power of silence. Lord you speak to me. You speak to me in silence. You spoke little, But your words had depth. Your words are our gateway to heaven. Lord you never spoke about your own greatness. Yet Your mighty works, speak about you. The impossible miracles, gives us hope to carry on… Your powerful preaching’s, inspires us to do what deeds you did for others. Yet Lord You never spoke about it. You let the good things happen in silence. Lord how you suffered in silence. On the cross, laden with our sins and misdeeds. Lord, you were alone in the garden of Gethsemane. Lord, you were being tormented with what was to come. And never for once did you step back, or speak up. But you accepted it all...

PRAYER TO PURIFY THE HEART By Bibleman Dear Heavenly Father, I, ________________________________, confess that I have entertained wrong thoughts and have developed wrong thought patterns. Please forgive me for allowing unworthy thoughts to have a place in my heart and forgive me of all the sins that my wrong thoughts have caused me to commit. Lord, purge me and deliver me from a carnal mind and allow me to be spiritually-minded through your Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:1-14). Jesus said that wrong thought patterns defile us and are an indication of an impure heart (Mt. 15:18-19; Mk. 7:20-23). Cleanse me of my sins and sinful thinking and like David create within me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me (Ps. 51:10). I desire to be...

GAMBLING: THE DEVIL’S WHEEL OF FORTUNE! By Bibleman “Tragically ten million North Americans are compulsive gamblers, psychologically addicted to an activity that robs them of their money, their employment, and often their families. Many are driven to drug and alcohol addiction, crime, or suicide by their uncontrollable gambling lust. Gambling is not a simple risk taking, equated with operating a business or driving on a busy freeway. It devises artificial risks in pursuit of excessive and unearned gains based almost entirely on chance or “luck.†For those who take the scriptures seriously gambling cannot be an option. (Handbook For Christian Living, Paul A. Kienel, editor, p. 135) Statistics indicate that gambling is a major...

THE KINGDOM OF HELL! By Bibleman Many people, today, do not believe that the Devil and his host of fallen angels have an eternal domain or realm called Hell. If there is no place called Hell then there is no Devil or demon spirits. Christian deliverance ministers and those who have been possessed by demons tell a different story. Deliverance ministers and other witnesses testify of how demon spirits, in those who are demonized, speak through the person and proclaim that Satan, the Devil, is their King. These demon spirits become terrified of being cast out of their victims and will plead with ministers not to send them to Hell. They fear and dread having to go to that awful place called Hell to be punished by Satan or one of his higher...

So are we expecting some X-beings to hide behind the burkas and scout around the streets of LA? Nah, that sounds tasteless to start off with, but the truth isn’t that far off either and of course, no burkas!-Genesis 18:21--22 Stick with me please as I expound some scriptural principles and truths on angels and their ‘undercover activities’. And by the grace of God, may you come to discern clearly between the true and the counterfeit of these supernatural beings. Firstly, we need to understand two important bible principles in regards to the spiritual realm which are:- (a) When His word is silent on something, it is then best to leave it alone. Do not add in your own ideas and perceptions which usually form a new doctrine...
