How to Pray for the Complete Person By : Paula Marolewski To pray wisely for each other, we need to replace our one-sentence "God bless So-and-so" prayers with prayers for the complete person. Here is a checklist of six major areas to pray for when you are considering the people on your prayer list. All I Can Do Is Pray By : Paula Marolewski Once we assume the attitude of humility and understand that our adequacy comes from God, we will no longer despair when we are faced with situations that are beyond our control or help. Why Moses' Sandals? By : fortune The question that will strike any careful and inquisitive who reads this Bible verse would be, why Moses’ sandals? What was wrong with the sandals? Could it be that the leather is of an inferior quality or is it dirty? Faith By : Melinda Bellamy Faith is one of the fundamental elements of our Christian lives. It is by faith that we are saved, justified, and cleansed. Faith is how we please God, admit our reliance on Him, and incessantly rely on His grace and mercy. Why We Pray the Word of God By : Angeline Williams Just as food must be taken into the system and digested before it can benefit the body, so must the Scriptures to strengthen the soul. Pondering Proverbs By : Gina Hendrix Many people use Proverbs as a daily study and guide to increase their wisdom and understanding. There are 31 chapters to Proverbs so reading one chapter a day, allows readers to complete the book of Proverbs in one month, but it is common for people to continue to read one chapter a day as part of their daily routine. Reading a Proverb a day you will discover… Everybody Plays the Fool By : Gina Hendrix “Everybody plays the fool, sometimes There’s no exception to the rule. Forsaken Fathers By : Gina Hendrix After watching the movie Taken, Matt and I pondered a correlation of non-custodial fathers and the greatest gift they could ever give their children. The Return on Sin By : Gina Hendrix Have you placed an order with the sin you commit? The Love Test By : Gina Hendrix If there was a formula you could use to determine the difference between True Love and infamous Lust or Infatuation, would you like to know what it was? He Has Wounded His Own Soul By : Keiki Hendrix Who will really suffer harm when another injures you. The Benefits of Bible Verse Songs By : Jim Swanson As a young Christian we sang Bible songs. It wasn't until later that I found out I had been singing Scripture. That's when I realized the benefits to Bible Songs shared in this article. 5 Necessary Steps You Should Take to go from grief to emotional and spiritual growth By : Conroyr This article reviews the connection between negative emotional states that accompany grief and their effects on our connection with God, self and others and describes the steps toward emotional and spiritual healing and growth. 5 Ways You Can Revitalize Your Prayer Life By : Conroyr This article reviews ways we defeat ourselves in prayer and identifies corrective measures to revitalize prayer and experience radical changes in our spiritual life. Inspirations from God's Spirit By : Ron Matteson One who knows, and obeys, the commandments, is the one who loves Jesus, and the one who loves Jesus is the one who shall be loved by God, the Father, and this is the one who will receive God’s Spirit. When we keep God’s commandments, we live in God, and God lives in us, in union. Some quotations from the Holy Bible By : Ron Matteson Through Jesus Christ, those worshipers who were far apart from God the Father/Christ, are brought into Spiritual union by the cross and blood of Christ. Christ is the peace between all worshipers, since He removed a barrier of hostility caused by rules and decrees. Christ, through the cross, created one Spiritual body to restore peace and allow for Spiritual union with God, the Father. This was to unite all worshipers into a single Spiritual body and place them into union with God, the Father. After Christ killed the hostility, He brought good news of peace to both Jews and non Jews Those who follow God By : Ron Matteson God spoke to me like this, with a strong hand as to turn me from walking in the path that some of God’s people take. “Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy, do not fear everything that they fear, do not be afraid of them. You must consider God as holy, fear God, for God you must dread. God is the sanctuary for both houses of Israel, a stone to strike, and a rock to stumble over. God said, “I will have compassion on those who have not received My compassion, I will say to those who were not My people, you are My people,” and they will answer, “You are my God,” Christian Love By : Ron Matteson Christian love is not only words, but is displayed by doing good deeds. By this, we can we be certain that we are children of the truth. Let us love one another, for love is from God, and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God. The one who does not love, does not know God, for God is love. Holiness and the Christian By : Ron Matteson Christ bore our sins in His body, on the cross, that we might die to sin, and live in holiness. By way of Christ’s wounds, we are healed. You know that you must obey God, your master, for a sinful behavior life style results in death, and a holy behavior life style results in eternal life in glory. Having been Freed from sin, you are now a slave to God, and you are now positioned on a path of being sanctified, made holy, and the path ends in eternal life in glory. The new covenant, a Spiritual bond By : Ron Matteson God said, “I shall measure the Christian, not by what they have to say, but by their Spiritual power as given by Me. The Kingdom of God is not just talk,” it is power. Try to become a spiritual adult, for an heir who has actually inherited life in God’s Kingdom, is no different from a slave while remaining as a (spiritual) child. That heir is under the control of guardians and administrators, until reaching (spiritual) maturity, as determined by God, the Father. Live good religious lives By : Ron Matteson The Lord is not being slow about His promises, as some count slowness, for God is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance. “My sheep hear My voice, I know them and they follow Me. I give eternal life in glory to them, and they will never perish. In Christ dwells the fullness of God By : Ron Matteson Jesus said, “I did not speak on my own initiative, but the Father who sent Me has told Me what to say, and how to speak, I am not alone, since God who sent Me is My authority.” . Jesus said, ”The one who listens to My servants listens to Me, and the one who rejects My servants rejects Me, and whoever rejects Me, rejects the One who sent Me. God delivers righteous Christians from all afflictions By : Ron Matteson God will not test you beyond your limits, and God can give you additional strength to endure the trials, but there will always be an escape plan. The salvation of the righteous comes from God, who is their strength when trouble comes, for God helps, protects, and delivers them from serious harm. Do not seek your own glory By : Ron Matteson Everyone who has heard, and learned, from the Father, has come to Me, and no one has seen the Father, except the One who has come from God. I truthfully say, that one who believes will have eternal life in glory. Come, let us sing to God, let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation, let us come before God’s presence with Thanksgiving, joyfully singing to God with psalms, for the Lord is a great God, a great King above all other gods. Doing God's will By : Ron Matteson May the grace of God make you ready to do God’s will in your good deeds, and to worship God in the way God finds acceptable, in reverence and fear, through Jesus Christ. I want you to have wisdom about what is good, and be innocent of bad. Therefore, as not to bring discredit on our work as God’s servants, we avoid doing things which could cause discredit. Why You Need To Be Saved. Purchase Your Christ Insurance Policy Today. 100% Condemnation Deductible. By : Evangelistphil.org Maybe you’ve been thinking of giving your life to Christ or renewing your life in Christ but you just have not done it for some reason. You are reluctant to step out to the front of the church when the pastor calls members in the congregation who have not yet accepted Christ to step forward. Oh!! Are you ashamed of Christ? Or you don’t just believe in Christ? Priorities By : Jennifer Hallmark I just want to share a word today about priorities. We have been discussing moving forward and busyness lately at church and priorities has to be right in there. One definition of priority is something that must be done or taken care of first. Take a minute and ask yourself, “What are my priorities?” Is it my family or my job, my ministry or the community? What do I give my time to? As Christians Should We Only Follow the New Testament? By : Steven E Coffman Some Christians in the past and present subscribe that The New Testament and Jesus is the main emphasis of the Christian Bible, and as Christians we should only follow the New Testament, and ignore the teachings of The Old Testament. Common Misconception in the Bible Teachings – Asking for a Sign when we Pray is Wicked By : Joseph3333 Most of the Christians in the churches do not really do their own independent testing of scriptures when they received the teachings. They followed a kind of innocent simplistic obedience that whatever comes from the pulpit is from God; since pastors are ordained by God, therefore they all must be speaking the truth under the anointing. I have personally encountered that pastors don’t all speak the truth when they preached on the podium in front of the church congregation. More than twice, I encounter pastors speaking against the word of God. Even so called Prophets of God can give conflicting prophecy to a person when asked about the same thing. This is the truth and its happening in the churches, so where is the anointing from the Holy Spirit? Our God is a God of Sign and Wonders, so he will use sign to speak to us for sure. Developing Your Christian Gifts By : Steven E Coffman Do you know that you are truly created and designed for a specific purpose? God has placed gifts inside of you before birth to equip you to fulfill His purpose. Have you ever taken the time to evaluate yourself so that you really know what your gifts are? The Truth about the Nature of God – Did God Created Evil? By : Joseph3333 If God did not create evil than God is not sovereign nor is he the Supreme Being or the creator of the universe. He is not the great I am that I am since evil can exist by itself.In Colossians 1:16-17, God said, “16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” Yes, God says he created all things. The Truth about the Bible – Infallible book of no errors? By : Joseph3333 The bible contains errors, errors in chronological description and also errors of recording. Shocking indeed and its hard to believe what I have said isn’t it. Before you judge my statement as heretics, I urge you to read on but pray for divine protection against any false teachings. But I speak the truth so I must produce the evidence of this statement you may say. So then is this an accusation or blatant malicious attack on the work of a perfect God? God is my father and as a son there is much to be done to repair his work. The bible is not perfect, since it contains errors, because when something contains error it is imperfect, and that is the description of perfect in the English Dictionary. Perfect means no errors or mistakes, period. Never going back By : Jennifer Hallmark One thing I have noticed in my Christian walk is that weekly, and sometimes daily, I have to make a commitment not to go back. What might I be going back to? A life before God full of my way and my will? A life characterized by sin and shortcomings? While these are important things not to go back to, I am talking about not going back into complacency, into unbelief, into a place where I just exist, just trying to live a "happy little life." No Agenda? By : Nickie Schweitzer We were encouraged to walk out on the beach, leave our agenda and sit and “be” with God. What a foreign concept to a college student. No agenda? No assignment? What was I to do? The Lord used times of solitude and reflection to draw me closer to Himself and help me to understand more of His character. Retreats don’t have to be super structured, extravagant and expensive, although sometimes that can be fun too. They can be a couple of hours in a park or even camping trip. Walking in the Spirit – Led by the Holy Spirit of God to Church Hop By : Joseph3333 When people became truly baptized in the Holy Spirit, they will experience a strange feeling, something has entered them spiritually. This is not an occult possession of our soul. It is a real tangible sensation; something different has happened to the person who gets baptized in the Spirit. Some will feel an overcoming, or encompassing warm within their bodies, some will feel a rush of peace throughout their soul, and others yet will feel a lifting or release of pressure on their heads and ches Spring Cleaning By : Jennifer Hallmark With spring fast approaching, this is the perfect time to talk about spring cleaning. Ugh! You might say, "Do we need to talk about cleaning? I try not to think about it." Yes, spring cleaning in the physical is good, cleaning out closets, some fresh paint and maybe getting to those windows and curtains but I am talking about spring cleaning the soul. Yes, I mean the mind, the will and the emotions... Guided By The Peace Of God - Fruit of the Holy Spirit By : Joseph3333 Many Christians have yet to experience the meaning of Peace which is of God. This is not about our own personal understanding which produces this peace. It’s about the Peace that surpasses all human understanding which comes from the presence of the Holy Spirit of God in our lives. Christians who do not know of the existence of this Peace tends to use their human logic to create the feeling of comfort and assurance but that is not the same as the Peace which comes from God. This Peace is a frui What is Faith? By : Steven E Coffman What is faith? Webster's dictionary says; Firm belief in something for which there is no proof. The bible says; "It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see." (Hebrews 11:1, NLT). Why Your Prayers Were Not Answered? By : Joseph3333 The bible did say that asked and you shall be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you. If this is a statement then why does it not work every time we prayed for something? Surely God can not lie. Then why is this not true? This leads us to find the various reasons why God do not answer our prayers. Paul's Prayer Secret By : Chris Gaffney There is a prayer secret exampled by Paul that has been glossed over and not highlighted. Here it is. False Teachings on Positive Confession - Christianity's Deception By : Joseph3333 Faith Word Teachings has become popular and gain worldwide acceptance through the promise of prosperity and power for the Charismatic Christians. It has also been propagated as an offensive tool for the Charismatic Christian to bind the devil. All in all, I wonder why these teachers did not correctly divide the word of God. There appear many convincing scriptures that refute this claim. God does not need to obey anyone's command. The Truth About The 10 Commandments of God By : Joseph3333 The 10 Commandments are the written law of God given to his creation to obey and to observe with our whole heart. The essence is not blind obedience, the principle truth is love. The first 4 Commandments tell us how to love God, and the other remaining 6 Commandments tell us how to love one another. In Truth, the 10 Commandments is about Love and God is Love. So it is even more crucial that we obey it when we become born again, this law separates us from the world of pagan beliefs for they do no God's Christian Gifts Throughout The Year By : Steven E Coffman Are you facing a situation today that seems truly impossible? Even if you don't see how things will work out, remember, you are created to overcome. Quarters or Dollars? By : Jennifer Hallmark Do you want a quarter today or a dollar tomorrow? A simple test of maturity: a child is offered either a quarter today or a dollar tomorrow. Most younger children will take the quarter now... Supernatural Favor By : Jennifer Hallmark The word supernatural, while not found in scriptures means in Webster’s Dictionary-an order of existence beyond the natural world; pertaining to a divine power. I love the definition for favor given in the Vines Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament words-grace on the part of the giver... The Goodness of God By : Mark Baker Ask any Christian if they believe that God is good and they would certainly say, well of course. But believing that He is good is not the only requirement in pleasing Him. God's Warrior, Man's Saviour By : Ransomed ransom It is seldom or never that we get out of Bethlehem and the manger with its donkeys braying and the horses neighing! We make the whole scene look so cozy and cute with haloes around Mary and Joseph and of course, the baby Jesus. Joseph and Mary’s stress and hardships evaporate in the heat of our Christmas romanticism. Even the poverty and the stink of the manger are given glamour and a certain romantic quality. And most of the times (as most of our movies and art reflect, with one exception – “Th Oops By : Jennifer Hallmark Life is good but sometimes it is very hard when you struggle with mistakes. Like Peter, I said that nothing would ever take God’s place. When the pressure was on, however, I found myself putting ministry and church above God and family... A Higher Place By : Jennifer Hallmark God is calling His church to a higher place. A place where others come before self and the will of God is put before desires. A place of service to mankind. We all say we want to dwell in that place but are we willing to do what it takes to get there? Acceptable to Him By : Jennifer Hallmark While taking an honest look at myself one day, God showed me that many times my words and the place my mind was dwelling were not pleasing to Him. I tended to speak out of my feelings or what I heard someone else say instead of what God said in His Word and what He was speaking to my heart... Why Evangelical Christians Don't Pray Pre-Written Printed Prayers By : Hanna Henderson One question that arises from time to time, particularly in conversation between Catholics and Protestants, relates to reasons why some believers reject praying pre-written prayers. Overcoming fear By : 4empowerment Have you ever been hindered by a fear of success (or a fear of failure)? Have you ever received news that seemed to immobilize you with fear? Fear tried to grip me when I was awakened at 2:30 in the morning by my daughter's voice with these words "mom, I can't see!." Well, she recovered and my daughter , my family and I overcame the fear, doubt and unbelief. Discover keys to overcoming fear as you read this empowering article. The Power of an attitude of gratitude (Keys to Success in life for women) By : 4empowerment We often find ourselves regretting where we are in life. This sends us on a spiraling journey downward as we begin complaining and nourishing fear which is the enemy of faith. One key area in living a prosperous life is having an attitude of gratitude. Having an attitude of gratitude will provide the following benefits........ Seek and Find By : Jennifer Hallmark The reason we seek God is to know Him. (Exodus 33:12-14). Developing a strong relationship with God through seeking Him will build faith and trust. You can’t have a relationship with someone unless you spend time with them, talk to them, learn about them and listen to them. Anger Management God's Way-Correcting Myth #1 By : Dr. Bob Hughes Is anger causing problems in your relationships and preventing you from being the person God wants you to be? You can become free from your anger very quickly when you understand what really causes anger and how to prevent it. Hallowed Be Thy Name By : Ann Stewart As prayer is communication, and God already knows what you need before ye ask Him, how then should you pray to Him? How to Eliminate Fear Out of Your Life By : Ann Stewart Are you fearful of the economic conditions of our time, your health diagnoses and your future? Time Management By : Len Stubbs Time is our great adversary. Which of us hasn’t caught ourselves feeling "I'm stressed out, burned out, overscheduled and overcommitted". Without question time is and will continue to be in limited supply. Time lost can never be regained. Benjamin Franklin said “ Do not squander time; for that’s the stuff life is made of.” Do you ever wonder how we got to a place in our history where in today’s society we have the most sophisticated technologies in history to help us save time, manage time, make Prioritizing Effectively By : Len Stubbs If you are at all like me, you know how easy it is to fall into the trap of spending a day attending unexpected interruptions, phone calls, and e-mails. As a result of the time pollution, we miss out on the opportunity to use our day to complete more important tasks, which pay a higher long-term investment. Prioritizing effectively saves both time and energy. Mastering our prioritizing skills increases our ability to see which tasks are critical for long-term success and allows us the luxury o Real Success By : Len Stubbs n 1966 Eddie Floyd recorded the hit song Knock On Wood that opened “I don't want to lose you, this good thing that I got 'cause if I did I will surely lose a lot. I'd better knock (knock, knock) on wood baby.” Good song but in life real success doesn’t happen as a result of good fortune or luck. Knocking on wood isn’t considered in most circles as a solid strategic plan for success. When we consider the meaning of success, we usually think of money, fame, or power. However, many of the really su Looking Forward By : Len Stubbs How many of us occasionally find ourselves trapped looking to our past as opposed to looking to our future? How many of us find safety living in the glory of past accomplishments as opposed to looking forward to our next great achievement? How many of us find it comfortable reflecting on the past, in order that we might avoid the challenges and uncertainty of the future? Finding Lifes Balance By : Len Stubbs Evaluate your stress level, your priorities and answer the question of whether or not you are putting the Father first? Is your life self-centered or Christ centered? As we have previously discussed, I believe the first step to restoring balance and living your life successfully is to seek His will, way, and word. Without the real peace of having a personal relationship with the Lord anchoring our lives and decisions most of us will find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, stressed, unhappy, and lack Dealing with Fear By : Len Stubbs So in the end it is clear that fear results from our personal insecurities of both the known and unknown. We know that fear gets in the way and causes us to stop, second guess, and question the sovereinity of God’s will. We have been instructed that fear results from straying from God’s word and way. Lastly the Bible frees us from all fear and admonishes us that the only fear that God encourages in a Christian’s life is the fear of God. As a final thought on this subject there is no reason Utilizing Skills and Talents By : Len Stubbs Have you ever slowed down long enough to objectively evaluate your personal strengths, gifts, skills, talents and abilities? Do you find yourself spending a majority of your brainpower identifying your weaknesses and investing most of your energies trying to figure out just how to overcome these imperfections? If your answer to this question is affirmative I need to alert you to the fact that this tendency is very detrimental to your spirit and totally takes away from your strengths and talents. Seven Essential Components of Overcoming Faith By : Ann Stewart Why is it so hard to get your prayers answered, while others seem to have little or no problem? Turn Me Around By : Kay My GOD in heaven Turn me(us) around to do your will For the children you seek are created for your glory only These lessons you use to strengthen us and increase my(our) faith in you alone. IPeter 5:7 IITimothy 1:7 Do You Know What's In You By : Ann Stewart There is a treasure hidden deep within you that's waiting to be revealed. Warning: The Contents of this Article May Cause Your Head to Explode By : RDudley Continuing on with his dismay at the current state of the church, Ray shares some more of his experiences with todays "warriors". Our Prayers Are Making Me Sick (Part II) By : RDudley Another Sunday about us. Humanity. When did WE become the center of the gospel? Geesh. Prayer and the Challenges of Change By : Chris Gaffney Change can present deep challenges and prayer is part of the process and also a catalyst to changes for and through the presence of the Lord's vast and abiding help. The Source of Kingdom Economics By : Ann Stewart The kingdom of God is His way of doing things. The Debt that Needs to Be Paid By : Ann Stewart The debt of unforgiveness keeps you from being free. The Not So Meek Jesus By : Hanna Henderson The appearance of Jesus, the Lamb of God, is by no means, confined to the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and St. John. However, these New Testament books dominate as references to understanding who he is. They are most important in the comprehension of his redemptive work at Calvary. Nevertheless, those who believe and those who don't, may begin to realize that the meek and humble Lamb of God is not beyond being provoked to wrath and has an awesome but frightening appearance. Banking on Angels By : Chris Gaffney A startling verse from Hebrews shows that availability of thousands of angels for the followers of the Lord. Know Thyself By : Sister Alissa Lynne Encouraging words to keep walking in the Lord daily. Your Blessed Place Pt. 2 By : Mark Baker We all have gifts and they should be used in conjunction with other gifts within the body to fulfill the plan and purpose of God within that local body. In fulfilling our purpose we not only fulfill the plan for ourselves, but also contribute to the greater plan God has called us to complete within the body of Christ as a whole. Positive Confessions for a Godly Family By : Shaila D Touchton Confessions for a family in a Positive way... Your Blessed Place By : Mark Baker So many Christians walk away from their God given place of blessing, that I have felt a deep sense of grief in my spirit. I know it must grieve the Lord. It should not and does not have to be this way. Retreat By : Nickie Schweitzer So often we get easily distracted by the hustle and bustle of everyday life. God is whispering our name to come be with him in solitude, in that quiet place. Often times going on a retreat helps us be reminded of this much needed rest. Don’t just get away from the hustle and bustle around you but get away from the hustle and bustle in you and REST in the Lord. He's waiting for you. Ministry Mania By : Ransomed ransom There is a mania that seems to have come to grip Christendom! I call it “ministry mania”! Conventions, conferences, seminars, healing crusades, outreach meetings, neighbourhood bible study groups. The list is never ending. New Christian groups of diverse brands are born by the minute. People get “called” to “full time ministry” overnight! Statistics of the ones getting saved, and the number of ‘churches’ and groups that come into existence rise like our present time inflation. The evolution of a Honoring God In Everyday Conversation By : Hanna Henderson Honoring the God of heaven and earth in everyday conversation is something that everyone can easily do whether they are a Christian or not. Such honor certainly doesn't take the place of salvation; but, it does show respect for God which affects society as a whole in a positive way. Christian Discernment: A Practical Definition By : Paula Marolewski What is really involved in Christian discernment? Is it something mystical? An inner sense? Or is it more practical than that? Here are the three “D’s” that define discernment and make it practical in everyday life. Spiritual Maturity: Learning is an Active Verb By : Paula Marolewski How do we achieve spiritual maturity?

Keys to Christian Discipleship: Give Fishing Lessons By : Paula Marolewski An old proverb runs, "Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime."

God knows the heart of the Hypocrites By : Shaila D Touchton A collection of verses. I Ask By : Shaila D Touchton This article says about asking help from God. The Measures of the Spirit By : Jorgie Sen One the common features of our age is that there is a lot of imitation and duplication of the things of the Spirit. A constant attempt is being made to do things in a way that would appear to be spiritual and from the Spirit whereas in reality all that is done comes from the urges of the flesh and the natural man. This is one of the reasons why the Spirit is grieved and there has been much corruption and deterioration in the lives of God’s people. Sentence Prayers By : Paula Marolewski The toughest prayers are often the ones that carry the most impact ... spend some time with these sentence prayers and experience the transforming power of God. Praying the Scriptures By : Paula Marolewski For the Word to live in you, you must make it a part of your life — more than simply a part of your routine or a part of your knowledge. One way is to pray the Scriptures: here are some guidelines for how to make the Word come alive in your prayer life, whatever you are going through. A New View of Patience By : Paula Marolewski Is patience stillness of soul, an unbreakable calm, and an undisturbed faith? Or is it something far different? Something that has to do with tears, and sorrow, and pain? God is Not Afraid of Process By : Paula Marolewski When we look at our sin-riddled human nature, the call to holiness can seem beyond our reach. The good news is that God does not ask that we tackle every area of sin and weakness in our lives at once. Sanctification happens step-by-step. God is not afraid of process. Answers vs. Wisdom By : Paula Marolewski I often find myself praying, “Lord, tell me what to do!” or “Is this course of action that I’m considering right or wrong? Just tell me!” But I have finally realized that this is not the best kind of prayer, and, in many instances, is not even an appropriate kind of prayer.
