When this life is over, we will never regret the last offering and say “why didn’t I keep more?” We will say, why didn’t I give more, one last time. We will never regret the last soul we have to lay down at Jesus’ feet. We will never regret stepping out of our comfort zone to tell someone about Him or forgiving someone today. We won’t regret reaching out to someone more, turning the other cheek, but we will regret letting our flesh go and giving someone the last piece of our mind.

Read MoreOur God is still on the throne. He sits in the heaven and laughs at his enemies and ours. The thing that front of you that looks so large, is so small from where He is. The Bible tells us that we are seated together with Him in heavenly places and the devil is under our feet. So, we should be laughing too. When He rests in the back of the boat, so can we.
Read More7. God may heal you, or it may not be His will. You must pray “if it be your will.” False again, my friend. Over and over again, the Bible tells us that it is the will of God for us to be healed. Jesus paid the price for it with His healing stripes. To say that it is sometimes not His will, you need to have at least one scriptural reference and you cannot find one. The only time that we see anyone asking Jesus about His will, He answered quickly with "I will."
Read MoreGod always looks at the heart. You cannot fool Him. The Bible tells us to guard our hearts with all diligence, for out of it flows the issues of life. I heard another minister say something that is so true. “The heart of the giver determines the acceptability of the gift”. The heart motive, even in giving, is important to God. He watches offerings.
Read MoreThat means that every man, woman, boy, and girl has been born into sin. The apostles and disciples are included in that. They had to be born again by the blood of Jesus, just like you and I. The did not evolve into a special saint. they are not to be venerated. They are flesh and blood. Only God is to be worshiped or prayed to. There is no other name under heaven that we are to pray to.
Read MoreI am not preaching whatever I want to, whatever the latest fad doctrine is in the charismatic church, my opinion, or whatever makes me popular. I am preaching that which is eternal, that which has given me eternal life and forever changed my life. I am preaching only that which He has given me. Gal 1:10-16...
Read MoreIt’s interesting that we can recognize that pollution in many other’s belief systems, but not recognize that we say and believe many things that are contrary to the Word of God. Let’s see how many of these you can recognize as false doctrine...
Read MoreIt finds you when most, including yourself, think that it is all over. Too much has transpire. It finds you and lifts you heavenward into the realms of glory all over again. Anyone with a true heart for God can recognize it, cry, and rejoice. They shake their heads in amazement and say, “if God can do that for her, surely He can do that for me.” It gives them hope for He is “no respecter of persons.”
Read MoreMy husband has talked to me about the great doctrine that has been taught in the old hymns, such as “A Mighty Fortress is Our God”. Just look at the words of those great hymns. They say more than “I want You, I Need You”. We have a generation growing up, knowing very little doctrine to hold them steady. They know nothing of an anchor for their souls.
Read MoreRemember that we are not alone. First, He promises never to leave or forsake us. Then, there is a great cloud of witnesses who are looking over the banister of heaven and cheering us on. They finished their race in victory, and we must finish ours. We have more than enough; His blood, His Word, His name, His Spirit, our weapons, the innumerable angels, and one another.
Read MoreLife is not to rule and reign over us, but we, over it. We have been seated in heavenly places. All things have been put under our feet. The enemy has been defeated. We have the name of Jesus, the Word of God, the weapons of our warfare, the blood of Jesus, and the power of the Holy Spirit. We have no excuse to not walk in all that God has provided.
Read MoreThe fire can speak of the wrath of God. Revelation 14:10 says, “ The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.” It is interesting to me that I have heard many ministers say that God is no longer angry. I believe the book of Revelation is in the new testament and it says that He is still angry at sin, just as He has always been, and will take care of it.
Read MorePeople are the same everywhere and in all times, and I think it has gotten completely out of hand in the Church today. Don’t misunderstand, I don’t think I have the last word in anything, but this thing I know; The ‘writer’ of the Bible (The Holy Spirit) had an original unchangeable intent for every Word He inspired, and it was written to be comprehended by the reader. It is not written to be a mystery! It is a revelation of Gods original intent for His creation!
Read MoreReligion uses His divinity as an excuse for not seeing miracles. It says, “We cannot do what Jesus did because He did His miracles as The Son of God. Therefore, we cannot heal the sick, pray for the blind to see, or raise the dead. Only Jesus could do those things.” This gives them an excuse to believe for nothing. However, Jesus was not doing these miracles as The Son of God, even though He was the Son of God.
Read MoreYou can be sure that if you do something great for God, Satan will try to get you to quit obeying God He will speak things through others, and if you believe it, you will quit. If you do not, you still have to be careful to not become bitter, angry, or hurt. Otherwise, you will probably quit or become ineffective. You can’t go around thinking about it all day long and have your focus shifted from what God is doing to what the devil did. When you get chosen and others do not, they will speak things to you like David’s oldest brother spoke to him. We have to ignore it and still love people.
