Christ's Suffering and Ours



1 Peter 3:18-22

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. 

There is also an anitype which now saves us - baptism not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

Because Christ died for us, we should always be ready to share our faith, to suffer for our faith, even to die for our faith. 

 John 6:35, "And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life.  He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst."

Be Richly Blessed by the Word.  Amen

The Way of the Righteous & The End of the Ungodly


God offers us two roads to travel, the way of the righteous or the way of the wicked.  God provides, protects, and nourishes the righteous.

Psalm 1:1-6 "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.  He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.  For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish."

May God Bless the reading of His word. Amen.....

Is Jesus Really LORD of Everything?


Luke 6:46 (Amplified Bible)

46 Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not [practice] what I tell you?
The greek word for Lord in this verse is kurious. One meaning says, supreme in authority. The dictionary breaks it down this way:
Lord- One having power and authority over others: a ruler by hereditary right or preeminence to whom service and obedience are due: an owner of land or other real property: the male head of a household, husband: one that has achieved mastery or that exercises leadership or great power in some area.

Jesus is LORD, and He is LORD whether we obey Him or not. He is LORD whether we agree with Him or not. He is LORD because that is the title given to Him by the Father. As LORD and Master, He has every right to make demands of us. But He has also given us the right to choose His way or our way. The sad part is the longer we disobey Him in anything the harder we get in that area, and then GOD has to bring out His belt and then it's off to the shed!

So here is some food for thought. If we are resisting His will in any given area then we are not practicing His will in that area consistently right? So then if we are not practicing what He's telling us on a regular and consistent basis then have we dethroned Him in that area? How many areas can we be disobedient to Him in or self willed, before we end up in a backslidden state or worse a reprobate? I can't answer that. Only God knows how much or how little He's going to put up with. One thing I do know, our relationship with Him is too precious to jeopardize and so are our souls.

My advice. Stay in the Word, Stay Tender, Repent Quickly, and Obey Instantly. I remember one night driving home and the LORD saying to me Marva stop at the train tracks. It was 5am and I was tired and I wanted to get home, so I kept going. Then Jesus said it again but this time He shouted STOP!!!! I came to a stop instantly and as I did, without any warning a train zoomed past me. I sat there both shook and thankful that Jesus didn't tell me one time only and leave me to suffer the consequences, He very well could have if He wanted to because as LORD- He can do whatever, whenever, and however. I'm so thankful that He told me again and I listened. What is God requiring of you dear one? Let Jesus be LORD, obey Him in that thing(s)and reap the freedom and rewards from that obedience today (-:

Don't Gamble with Eternity, JESUS is the SURE bet!

Temptations of Life


How many of us know of a couple who has experienced adultery in their marriage?  Has your marriage experience this type of devastation?  As we know today, temptation is everywhere!  We would be foolish to think we or our husbands can't be affected by it in some form or another. 
~Proverbs 27:20~ states, "The eyes of man are never satisfied."

The enemy knows our weaknesses and will place temptations in our paths at our most vulnerable times.  We must stand tall in our faith and know how to handle it when they arise.  The bible says that God does not tempt us.  It is merely our desires that draw us away to what entices us.  It is our desires that cause us to fall and open the door of death into our own lives.

Scripture states in James 1:12-15 "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.  Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.  But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death."
The question is, will you chose to live or die?

Accepted By God, Yet Rejected By Men


Greetings everyone! We pray that your day will be a glorious one full of wisdom, health, discernment, opportunities, enlarged territories, and blessings!

Today is about a subject very close to my heart. This subject affects all of us as Christians and I just want to offer some encouragement.

Acts 5:28-30 (21st Century King James Version) saying, "Did not we strictly command you that ye should not teach in this name? And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine and intend to bring this man's blood upon us."

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, "We ought to obey God rather than men.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

‎"To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men" --- A.W. Tozer

Desperate for a Chance?



Text: 2 CHRONICLES 29:1-11, 26-27; 31:1

King Hezekiah led the whole nation of Israel to repentance, and a great revival happened. Worship like in the days of King David was restored and the people destroyed all forms of idols and their altars.

Repentance brings true spiritual revival, and along with revival is change. Real change begins in a repentant heart that longs to return and get closer to God like he never did before. This is where the flame of revival begins. This is when a Christian can smash the strongholds of Satan that has kept him in the bondage of a defeated life. Are you struggling with a bad habit which you know is not right but you feel it is too difficult to conquer? Then desire for the flame of revival in your heart. When a repentant heart burns with the flame of revival in its deeper passion for Jesus, smashing the altar of a bad habit will follow. This deeper passion for the Lord is your strength to cut down the high places of the bad habits that have engulfed your life and have kept you from living a triumphant life in Jesus. Do it now, take the step to fall on your knee before the Lord. Because repentance brings the flame and leads to change.

Learn to Be Holy





To be Holy, you need to understand that only God can be your source of holiness.  Anything you do is only cooperation with Him, allowing more of His life into yours. 


Do the things of the Spirit:  Prayer, Bible Study, Discipleship and Fellowship with other believers.


1 Thessalonians 4:4... "Each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable."


Galatians 5:16... "So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature."
