JESUS

HIS BIRTH Jesus... He could hold the universe in His palm but gave it up to float in the womb of a maiden. Christ became one of us. and He did so to redeem all of us. HIS MISSION Jesus... The man... who spoke with such thunderous authority and loved with such childlike humility. The life of Jesus Christ is a message of hope, a message of mercy, a message of life in a dark world. HIS DEATH Jesus... The palm that held the universe took the nail of a soldier. On the eve of the cross, Jesus made His decision. He would rather go to hell for you than go to heaven without you. HIS RESURRECTION Jesus... the moment He removed the stone, He removed all reason for doubt. Christ's resurrection is an exploding flare announcing to all sincere seekers that it is safe to believe

You are healed.

1 Peter 2:24 Christ carried the burden of our sins. He was nailed to the cross, so that we would stop sinning and start living right. By his cuts and bruises you are healed.

Are you BUSY?

SATAN'S MEETING : (Read even if you're busy)   Satan  called a worldwide convention of demons.  In his opening address he said,   "We can't keep Christians from going to church."   "We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth." "We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their saviour."   "Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken."   "So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ.."  "This is what I want you to do," said the devil:   "Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!"   "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.  < BR>"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innume...

Talk To Things

                   Talk To Things MARK 11:23 NKJ 23 "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, `Be removed .... Too many people think of the Bible only as a Holy book to be revered. So they put it up on a shelf and make sure no one mistreats it. But the Bible is a message from God. It gives us instruction for our benefit -- practical advice. It's time to take the Bible down off the pedestal, read it, and act on its instructions. Here is one seldom acted upon: talk to things. The devil wants you to think it would be crazy to talk to things. But it's not. Jesus did it. He talked to sickness. He talked to the storm and told it to be still. He talked to dead bodies and commanded them to get up. He talked to trees. And He talked to the devil and told him to get behind him. Jesus talked to things. You should too. You should talk to fear and worry. You should talk to confusion. You should talk to l...

The Joy Of The Lord Is Your Strength

The Joy Of The Lord Is Your Strength NEHEMIAH 8:10 NLT 10 . . . Don't be dejected and sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!" I do not claim it is the only meaning, but one thing the Lord showed me from this verse is that our level of joy is like a thermometer revealing our spiritual strength. If our joy is low -- our spiritual strength is low. That is because the Lord is our strength, and in His presence there is fullness of joy. PSALM 16:11 NKJ 11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. So, if our joy is low, it means we have not been spending time in God's presence, receiving His strength and help. It means we have got our focus off God and onto something else. (Although God is always with us, as we worship Him and praise Him and thank Him, God manifests His presence.) Being gloomy is not a sign of being spiritual. God did not intend for His people to be downcas...

The Lord Is Your Helpe

  The Lord Is Your Helper HEBREWS 13:6 NRSV 6 So we can say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?" Can you imagine how things could improve if God Himself was helping you? It can happen. But, to receive God's help you must cooperate with Him. God is ready, willing, and able to help you. He desires to help you. But the choice is yours. When you act contrary to God's principles, you stop God from helping you as much as He desires. To cooperate with God, you must trust Him and walk in faith. You must agree with God and speak in agreement with His Word. And you must walk in love. To do that, constant meditation on God's Word will be required. You will also need to humble yourself and ask the Lord to help you in everything you do. God does not force His help on you without you requesting His help. Does this sound too hard? It's not. Just ask the Lord to help you and He will! ISAIAH 41...
