Give God a Try

 I once had a young eighteen-year-old girl that told me she had been drinking every day of her life since she was twelve. Very early on in her life, her grandmother often proclaimed that she was going to hell for having a child out of wedlock. Salvation is not, or will it ever be about what you do but instead about what Jesus did. The only unforgivable sin is not accepting Jesus as your Savior, and that happens when you draw your last breath. (Matt. 12:30-32) If you have been verbally beaten down by a religious person, please go and ask God directly about how He feels about you. God created every person with a purpose in mind. (Jer. 29:11) You are so loved by God that He allowed His only Son to pay the cost for your sins. (1 Peter2:24) God’s word says Jesus went with joy set before Him; He endured the cross for us. (Heb. 12:2)

If you are tired of trying to escape life, please, please, give God a try. Yes, some hateful people use religion to take control of other’s lives. I see the results of this often. It is just one more tactic Satan uses to kill, steal, and destroy humans.
As Brother Jon, our pastor reminds his flock often, love God, help others, help others love God. If this is not something you’ve experienced from a “Christ-follower,” then remember there are phonies in your life that spread lies about you. I have a friend that purposely read the Bible just to prove that God was wrong. She became a missionary and a wonderful Chaplain’s wife. You need to find out for yourself. God promises, if you seek Him, you will find Him. I guarantee God is worth a look.

There is Life and Death in the Tongue

  There is life and death in the tongue. In the beginning, God created man to be in authority. Since the fall of man, many now see any so-called authority in our words, as crazy superstition or demonic. By perverting the concept, Satan has us speaking negative words in doubt and unbelief. We are literally cursing our own destinies because we do not understand that from the beginning, words were used to create. Now, evil uses words to destroy with constant negative, complaining, and destructive talk. It is everywhere, and the church is participating. Jesus has taken all authority from Satan and returned it to His children. Being ignorant concerning precisely what the blood of Christ at the cross has restored to us, we are still declaring ourselves destined for illness and great sorry on this earth. Many have confused trials and tribulations as one’s lot in life, so we then do not speak in authority against it because we believe Sovereign God wants us sick and hurting

The Silent Majority Must Find Their Voice

  One thing I have learned in the almost eleven years of mission ministry is if someone believes a lie, there is nothing you can do or say that will convince them otherwise. Only God can reveal the truth and open the heart to receive it. Lies based on fear, I believe, take root at the core to shore up an eroding foundation. As Christ-followers, we tell our children the danger of building your house upon the sand. Ironically, Satan entered the Church and convinced God’s people that God does not heal anymore; therefore, the foundation of healing became sand for many. So for the last two years, fear has struck the hearts of God’s people with one medical fear after another. The results became leaders of the Church proclaiming secular practices and bragging they had done their part and the trust in God eroded a little more and more. Those that can see the truth that has watched secular spiritualism invade our church family are at a loss as to what to do. Maybe because we

Questions about Fasting Part One

  Was fasting a foretelling of repentance and dying to self? Everything in the Old Testament Jewish faith was the "first to establish the second," meaning the religious acts were a foretelling to set up the death and resurrection of Christ. The practice of circumcision is not a sacred act anymore, nor is sacrifice. Why? Because in the New Covenant through Jesus, circumcision is now of the heart and not the flesh. The book of Romans reminds us that every religious act of the flesh has been replaced by living under grace through faith. So why are we continuing the practice of fasting for repentance or sorrow? Is that not an act of flesh? Do we not believe that if we confess our sins, Jesus is faithful and just to forgive us? Why do you have to starve yourself to get God to move or hear Him? Don't we believe that He has heard us if we ask according to His will? Do you think God is motivated more by our acts of humility or our acts of faith? Does He not kn
