Daily Devotion: B.O.O.T. Is Needed - And It Is Who? By : Edwin Joseph Take time with God - our Abba Father. Know that He’s more concerned about your life. He wants you and only you. Quit doing things for God - but start doing things for Him, about Him, and with Him. Enjoy Him in his presence. Seek His face and not his hands. Seek the intimacy that can never be taken away from you. Thats what life is all about - It’s all about Him. Daily Devotion: You Can't Save People By : Edwin Joseph Whether we like it or not, we are ought to share to good news to every people we know. But we as people are limited to what we can share.

Do away with them By : Joy When Christ comes back will He find faith in the church? amongst believers?. Think on these folks, if Christ is coming for a spotless (sinless) Bride, some of us might want to begin to think about getting serious about this journey of faith we have embarked on following Jesus and clear away all the deeds of the old man. Topic: Separation and Consecration. By : Joy Sometimes we need a Nehemiah to take us by the hand drive out the traders at the gates, tell us some truth about where we are and where we ought to be. Let’s take it as coming from God and yield as unto the Lord. Be Strong and be Courageous! By : Joy But thank God we have a Heavenly father who knows us from the innermost parts and our thoughts are not hid from Him, He knew Joshua needed encouragement before he lost his mind and he stepped right in, within 9 verse we read about God commanding, instructing and advising Joshua not to be discouraged not to allow any weakness in his spirit, because discouragement of soul in a child of God is the visa the enemy needs to come in and cause disruption in the will of God. The Presence of Jesus By : Carolyn Kenney The golden sun was spectacular as birds flew gracefully above and around it. Peace and tranquility permeated my soul; I could stay here forever.

Finding an Ancient Path to Hearing God By : Andrew Hawkins A brief description of how I learned to hear God much better. I found the key while sifting through the writings of many of the great Christian writers of days gone by. The Obedience of Faith By : Mark Baker I would like to ask a question. What good is faith if not acted upon? God in Our Midst Equals Victory By : Andrea Bush Based on Genesis 11:1-9 The whole world had one language, traveled eastward and settled in Shinar… Shinar is later called Babylon in the Bible. Babylon from “babel” means “confusion”. Isn’t it funny that every time we move away from God, we always run right into confusion? Professing to be wise we become fools (Rom. 1:22). Since Jesus is the Wisdom of God, it would be to our benefit that we stay close to Him and not move away. When we do we always suffer and become spiritually disoriente Resolutions By : Mark Baker Loose weight, exercise more, spend less, save more, keep the house cleaner, eat better. Do these sound familiar? They are examples of New Year’s resolutions. How many of us have decided to do one of these in the next year, loose weight, eat better, exercise more, or one of the others? I know I have so many times in the past. Somehow, each year many of us start out on the right track, but loose our resolve and end up not keeping a single resolution we made. Am I the only one this applies to? The Greater One Within By : Mark Baker This should be the heart cry of every believer. The greater One lives within me. It is because of the greater One that lives within me that I am victorious. It is because of the greater One that lives within me that that I am successful. It is because of the greater One that dwells within me that causes me to triumph in every circumstance of life... He Shatters the Spear By : Star Ferdinand As I watched the movie, The End of the Spear, I was particularly struck by one scene involving Kimo, the first male of the tribe to become a “God-follower” and Mincaye, the hardened, vengeful leader of the tribe. My Gift to God By : Star Ferdinand When I was in high school, one of my coaches gave me a placard that read, “What you are is God’s gift to you. What you make of yourself is your gift to God.” She asked if it meant something to me and I said it did, but what it meant to me was not what the Bible teaches. Giving Up Self By : Star Ferdinand A few weeks ago, a co-worker asked me what I had to give up to lose 30 pounds. My response was “Nothing. I can eat whatever I want. I just have to fit it into my allowances for the day.” Later, I thought, “That’s not correct.” What I gave up was myself. Expectations By : Star Ferdinand The beggar that Peter and John met expected them to give him some money. He did not expect them to restore his health. Why not? In those days, it was a common belief that people got sick or were born with disabilities because either they or their parents had sinned. Remember what Jesus said in John 9:3 as He dispelled this myth? God's Love By : Star Ferdinand “God cares too much to be unconditional in his love.” When I heard the radio announcer on "Joni and Friends" say those words, I asked myself, “What can be better than unconditional love?” God's Favor By : Star Ferdinand Every year at summer camp during my childhood, I looked forward to the closing night’s devotional. All I really remember now, except the candlelight, is Luke 2:46, the theme verse of the camp. I’m not sure why that verse has stuck with me over the years. Perhaps, Called to Conquer Pt.3 By : Mark Baker In this study let's look at the ultimate goal of a conqueror. That is to take and inhabit the land that God has called us into. What would be accomplished if we could take the land, but not inhabit and maintain what we have been given? Called to Conquer Pt.2 By : Mark Baker Jesus has already defeated Satan, yet he is still in this world and he still has power. However his authority has been taken away. He no longer has the authority to use that power, we are the spiritual police that have been placed here to enforce God's plan for this Earth. .. Called to Conquer Pt.1 By : Mark Baker This may come as a revelation to many Christians, but we are not supposed to be punching bags for the devil, this is not what God called us to be. He called us to be conquerors and to walk in victory over every adversity... Such As I Have By : Mark Baker This is a very well know verse of Scripture from the book of Acts, there is even a song we used to sing back in the day. I have seen some new light in this area that has been stirring my spirit recently, and I hope will stir yours as well. Let’s read the entire passage of Scripture... An Attitude of Gratitude By : Mark Baker Having a grateful attitude opens up doors for more of Gods blessings. Life and Peace By : Mark Baker God wants His creation to have His life. He went to great lengths to establish a covenant that could bring man back to the place where he could again have His life. This means that man would once again have God’s life, and because he had God’s life he would have the authority to walk in it in such a way as death could no longer have dominion over him... Who Do You Say That I Am? By : Mark Baker Our Lord has a way of cutting right through the fluff and getting straight to what is important. Peter was really set up to answer this question. Actually, this was the most important question Peter was ever asked. In fact, it is the most important question any of us could ever be asked as well. Lets read the rest of this passage… We Are Family By : Star Ferdinand It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Each row of people got up in turn and moved to the communion stations set up around the sanctuary. Many people were with their biological families. My thoughts drifted back to the last time my mother came to visit The Language of Death By : Star Ferdinand “We lost Dad today.” “Grandma passed away.” “I’m sorry, but she’s gone.” “He’s gone to his eternal rest.” Death. Why is it so hard to say the word? Why is it so hard to say a loved one has died? Nothing Can Separate Us By : Star Ferdinand On February 27, 2000, a man I didn’t know wheeled a lady into the church auditorium. My immediate thought was, “I bet that’s Lynne.”
