THE JOY OF THE LORD

                                                   THE JOY OF THE LORD "Thou will show me the path of life: i n Thy Presence is fullness of joy , and at Thy right hand are pleasures for evermore." Psalm 16:11   "...for the joy of the Lord is your Strength." Nehemiah 8:10 "...Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, you love; in Whom, though now you see Him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory ." 1 Peter 1:7-8 "As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Continue in My Love. If you keep My commandments you shall abide in My love even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. These things have I spoken to you that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. " John 15:9-11 "...fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, Who for the joy set before Him endured the cr...

HIS WILL, HIS TIMING, HIS WAY

                                    HIS WILL, HIS TIMING, HIS WAY    This is not an extensive nor in-depth study on prayer, but an exhortation to keep praying no matter what. Many times people have concluded that prayer does not work and forsake the walk of faith. I have merely pointed out some basic guidelines from the Bible that will hopefully clarify things we need to know and understand with regards to the parameters that God has set before us for our prayer life. And these parameters are likely far larger than we will ever attain to.    MISINTERPRETATION/MISUNDERSTANDING               MEEK BUT BOLD     GOD'S INVOLVEMENT IN OUR DAILY WALK OF FAITH               THE STRUGGLE OF FAITH      SERVANT/CHILD RELATIONSHIP     ACCORDING TO HIS WILL:       ...

HE HAS COME

                                                              HE HAS COME "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.       John 1:10   What puzzles many people is the question, if there is a God Who is all-powerful and intelligent, and made us in His image and likeness, why doesn't He show Himself openly? Why all the mystery?  -  GOD HAS REVEALED HIMSELF TO US - BUT MUCH MORE THAN THAT     THROUGH OBSERVATION    THROUGH REASON    PERSONAL ENCOUNTERS - GOD SPEAKS    ANSWERS TO PRAYERS AND MIRACLES     MESSENGERS SENT FROM GOD AND PROPHETS     G OD HAS SENT MANKIND A LETTER - IT IS CALLED THE BIBLE BUT WHY IS THERE SEPARATION IN THE FIRST PLACE ADDRESSING THE ASSUMED AUTHORITY OF SCIENCE. THE ROAD BACK: ...

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST - THE FANTASTIC GOOD NEWS!

                THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST- THE FANTASTIC GOOD NEWS!      Mankind has been striving since the dawn of time to regain contact with God our Maker. Through countless sacrifices, laws, rituals, and regulations, we have been striving to reach out to Him, to hopefully please Him, to connect with Him, and to reconcile with the One with Whom we will have to give account. Often we have convinced ourselves that we have succeeded due to our confidence in our religious traditions, practices, and rituals, but in the end, we find ourselves the same old sinner and no closer to Him than in the beginning. After all, that is the reason for all the striving, to connect with Him and be a godly, holy, person. It is good to be earnest and wholehearted, especially toward God, but something is wrong. We were missing something, and we need God Himself to step in and do what we can not.     God did initiate an amazing connectio...

THE SNARE OF DECEPTION

   THE SNARE OF DECEPTION  " For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear..." 2 Timothy 4:3   "Do they not go astray who devise evil and wander from the way of righteousness? But kindness and truth will be to those who devise good." Proverbs 14:22 AMP - WHAT CAN WE DO? -HELPS AND ADMONITIONS -OPEN DOORS TO DECEPTION -WARNING SIGNS -THOSE DECEPTIONS FROM WITHOUT - WILL WE RECOGNIZE HIM WHEN HE COMES,  WHAT IF GOD IS DOING SOMETHING, HOW DO WE KNOW? -RIGHT, WRONG, CAREFUL -ARE SIGNS AND WONDERS ALWAYS PROOF? - COUNTERFEITS TO THE WALK OF FAITH WHAT CAN WE DO?  Deception has always been and will continue to be a concern until Jesus returns. Although it is extremely serious, we must never be driven by fear, but rather by faith in the keeping power of God our Savior. Our focus and faith must remain c...
