RECALL NOTICE: The Maker of all human beings (GOD) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been identified as "Sub sequential Internal Non-morality," more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed. Some of the …

Will you stand in for our Nation to experience a great awakening? Below is the testimony of one man who made an astounding difference. GEORGE WHITEFIELD's IMPACT on AMERICA -extracts by Eddie Hyatt.

August 23rd. PRAYER CHOICE AND PRAYER CONFLICT "When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and pray to thy Father which is in secret." Matthew 6:6 Jesus did not say - Dream about thy Father in secret, but pray to thy Father in secret. Prayer is an effort of will. After we have entered our secret place and have shut the door, the most difficult thing to do is to pray; we cannot get our minds into working order, and the first thing that conflicts is wandering thoughts. The great battle in private …

Have you been praying for a harvest? Have you ever wondered why we don't reap a harvest? The Bible is very clear as to why and here are the reasons. #1. THE LABORERS ARE FEW Matthew 9:37 Then said He unto His disciples, "The harvest truy is plentiful, but the laborers are few." a. It's so easy to procrastinate and put off obeying God. b. We wait for someone else to do it when Jesus has called all of us to labor in the harvest. #2. TOO MANY ARE LOOKING BACK Luke 9:62 And Jesus said to him, …

"He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful." --John 15:2 There was a man who would stop by the garden market each spring and buy a plant or bush. He loved working in his garden caring for the plants. One year, he bought a flowering patio tree with small purple flowers... It was dormant and showed no signs of life in the winter. Each day, he watched it...hoping it would show some life again soon. He …

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote-Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip. – John 1:45-46 (NIV)

When God decided to come to earth He did not come on a throne, but a manger. He did not identify with Jerusalem, but Nazareth, a small border town that was filled with half-breed Jews and Samaritans. Nazareth was seen as an insignificant place. Yet God was pleased to be associated with Nazareth. So if we wonder if anything good can come out of our lives, remember Nazareth. The fact that God might use someone like you or me has been the pattern since the beginning of time.

I can't help it. Call me silly. I saw this today and thought about our relationship with Christ.
The Christian church is sometimes referred to as the "bride of Christ"--a metaphor that illustrates that closeness of Christ's relationship with his church, and the depth of love and service that He holds for the church. We are one with Him. Infused with Him! Like PB&J!
Revelation 21:9 (New International Version, ©2011)
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

Were you one of the ones who made a new years resolution to be closer to God than ever before? You were going to pray more, read your Bible more and do more good this year than last year. You were going to get up earlier to spend time with God longer. Wait a minute! That was me! I made those resolutions! I'm talking about myself! Yea, I made my mind up that I was going to do those things but something crept in and grabbed me by my ankles and pulled be into it's grips and said "Oh No you …

Loyalty to Jesus means I have to step out where I do not see anything (cf. Matt. 14:29); loyalty in my limited definition and intelligence means that I have make sure the ground is stable before I step out. But Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.
I don't have a problem stickin up for Jesus. If someone tried to make me deny Him, I couldn't. But if Jesus told me to do something that took faith to accomplish and displays my loyalty to him, that's where my true colors come out. Alot of times I want to assess the damages before the failure even happens in my mind instead of having faith in God to help me through because He spoke it. Am I truly being loyal? Do you find this to be true in your own life?
