The simple reason why we fail is that naturally in our

flesh we are bent towards sin. Apostle Paul had this struggle and made it clear

that we are in a struggle between our flesh and our born again spirit within

us. Are we to be discouraged because this struggle is ever present with us? No!

This is exactly what satan would like to see us do; quit, give up hope; believe

that it’s not worth the effort or that it…

Revelation 3:20

When I was a wee child; I lived with my Great-Grandmother. In her bedroom she had a picture of a person that modeled for the role of JESUS knocking on a door. Now I never paid any attention to anything in the picture with the exception of the model; who I thought at that time was actually JESUS. A few years ago I was in a Bible study and that picture was described; it came to my attention that the door did not have a doorknob on the outside of the door. I…

GOD keeps us from falling

Jude 24-25

Unlike the famous television commercial; “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” GOD’s children do not fall on or into a realm of unprotection. We are always in the Ark of safety because we belong to GOD. We are not perfect yet we strive for perfection; because of this there will be times when we will make a mistake but this does not mean that we have our hearts bent towards sin. Sometimes we will react to sin…

1 John 1:7-10

There is not one sin known or unknown to man that we cannot come to GOD and ask HIM to forgive us in JESUS name. GOD is compassionate; faithful; forgiving; merciful and HIS abundant grace delivers; heals; saves us from our mistakes. We don’t have to be ashamed or guilty for making a mistake; allowing our flesh to take over or straight out rebellion. The very instant that we are aware of a sin that we committed all we need to do is tell GOD what we did and ask…

Matthew 6:25-34; 1 Peter 5:7

My life was plagued by fear for many years. It began as a child and followed me through until I was well within my forty’s. Fear is not a friend but our enemy. The spirit of fear began to destroy my life because it caused me to be afraid of meeting new people. Fear kept me in a mode of always wanting to please others. Fear brought with it anxiety which made me nervous all the time; I developed certain tics; for example talking fast; stammering;…

1 Peter 1:6-7

In our weaknesses; JESUS is strong. In our sorrows; JESUS is our comfort. The CHRISTian life is not without problems or trials. GOD promises when we go through difficulties; HE will be with us. If we genuinely belong to JESUS even our trials will bring HIM praise. As we experience and remember conflicts in our own lives; we can share in another's affliction with true understanding. It is not so much what happens to us that causes us to rejoice but…

Proverbs 1:7 and James 1:5-6

There are two kinds of wisdom; which will you choose?

1.     Earthy, sensual, demonic based on envy and selfishness. James 3:15-16

2.     First pure, peaceable, gentle willing to yield; full of mercy and good fruits without partiality and without hypocrisy. James 3:17

When we ask GOD for wisdom; we can’t ask selfishly and expect GOD to give us heavenly wisdom. We can’t ask without faith and…

Hebrews 10:24-25

What is it that we get from fellowshipping with one another? The first thing that we should be getting from each other is love. We all have stressful days at work; school or home. When we surround ourselves with our CHRISTian families we are happy to see them; we want to know about their day or week. We love on each other and in our conversation with them; we may find out that they have a need that we can meet or you may have a need that they can meet.…

2Timothy 3:16-17

Before I share my testimony I need to share some of the words within this scripture from a dictionary stand point to help the reader of this scripture understand what GOD had done with the writers of the Bible.

1.     Inspiration/inspire: to communicate by a divine, supernatural influence.

2.     Profitable: beneficial.

3.     Doctrine:  policy, position, principal.

4.    …

2Timothy 1:7

It’s common opinion that CHRISTians are wimps who never have any fun because they are afraid to do anything that isn’t absolutely safe and dull. GOD does not intend for us to be afraid of living life to its fullest and trying new and daring things. For example skiing; mountain climbing; bowling; picnics; movies and such. On the contrary; GOD gives us a spirit of power; love and a sound mind. A sound mind in JESUS does not lead us to doing anything that is…
