Dr. Fletcher A. Brothers
Victory Today For over 45 years Dr. Fletcher Brothers has Pastored and hosted the Victory Today TV and Radio show. The driving forces behind his ministry is: God, Country and Children. Known as the "Tell it like it is" preacher he also founded and directed the Premier Home for at risk children for 40 years. This podcast is a challenging source of daily encouragement!
I'm sure somewhere along the line we've all heard someone say "Don't bite the hand that feeds you?" Well how about "don't sin against the only one who can forgive you and restore you?" So many people, young and old, are secretly dealing with the guilt of their past which if they have trust Christ is already gone and forgiven.
The question often asked os can God save Americ/Canada? Will He? Do I think He is going to? Can He solve my problem? The issue is not can He or will He? Yes He can and He will IF we let Him! II Chronicles 7:14 starts off with a big IF. His power is only limited by our faithfulness. He is faithful to the faithful.
Are we still under any part of the law or totally under grace? Grace demands more than the law! Do you believe the war with Iran and what's going on in the middle east has bearing on the last days? When do you think Jesus is coming back? What do you think a true saved person will be most judged for?
It amazes me how many people do not know what they believe---why they believe it or don't believe it---or the basics of whay is going on in the world today. I mentioned the Arabs looking for the return of the Madii and the influx of questions was staggering. What are we teaching in our churches? There is a direct parallel between our looking for the return of Christ and the Arabs looking for the return of the 12th Iman.
1973 years ago Ischmeal was born and the battle rages till this day. We are watching prophecy unfold just read Gen. 16.
You and I are alive today because that was His plan and there are several other certain things we need to heed.
There is an old adage "If you won't stand for something you'll fall for anything!" Is what you believe because God's Word says so or because you heard it somewhere or have "always" believed it. It is so important to believe God's Word in these times.
The difference between a lie and lying for the intent to really hurt someone! Slso be very careful what you believe and allowing the liars of the last days to get you to believe God has changed His mind about something---He hasn't!
Rev.22:3 The curse is over and we are in the new heaven and the new earth. Sin and darkness are gone its a new day snd its eternal. Those who chose to trust Christ will live in heavenly bliss for all of eternity but sadly those not genuinely saved will spend eternity separated from God.
What will the new heaven and new earth be like? What will God finally have? Who or what will not be a part of it? What will it be like for you and me?
There is a falasey that people even write songs about: No tears in heaven. That is simply not true. Early in Rev they weep because there is no one worry to open the book and in Rev 20 their is weeping and gnashing of teeth over lost loved ones facing the final judgment BUT in Rev 21 He wipes all tears forever more and there is no more occasion to shed tears afterward.
There is a time for far too many will be a very unpleasant time. We will all be there and there is a reason He does not "wipe away all tears from our eyes till Rev. 21 after this scene!
Why do the Arabs hate the Jews so much? Where do you get that everything focuses on Israel in these times? You say nothing is happening today that is not exactly as God said? I just recently remarried and my kids hate my new husband. Help? What is your opinion of boys playing girls sports? AOC for President???
Whether they be greats of the past in bringing about our freedoms or more modern people we count as great or preacher greats of past generations or the great cloud of witness of Heb.12----they all had one thing in commom---they lived by conviction. In many cases they died rather than sell out those convictions. What are your convictions?
There is a difference in knowing God and really believing, trusting and having absolute confidence in Him! Believing in His Word---His promises---His answering of our prayers. His healing capabilities---CONFIDENCE He will do what He promises to do. That He is in total control of everything and that He is coming again.
The question is:Do we know ABOUT HIM OR REALLY KNOW AND TRUST HIM? I HEAR FROM PEOPLE ALL THE TIME---"I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THIS IS HAPPENING"---THAT TELLS ME A. THEY EITHEER DON'T KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS OR B. DON'T REALLY BELIEVE IT!
Question: Do you know Jesus? Second question: Do you truly and honestly trust Him? Its not a matter of "knowing" Him but actually "trusting" Him. Know and believing He has everything under control and everything is going according to His plan!
The poem "Do not ask me to remember". Why doesn't God heal everyone? The truth about Isa. 53:5. Do I have to tithe? Grandparents? Sin that it might appear to be sin and be exceedingly sinful!
Neh.8:10 "The joy of the Lord is my joy." Just as with Heb.11:6 where it says "Without faith it is impossible to please God." Satan takes that as a direct challenge and goes straigt after your faith knowing if he can get your faith he has scored a great victory and we can not. please God. If he can get your joy---he can sap your strength! Guard your joy!
Paul said "I can do all things through Christ." Whatever God has for you His grace and abilities are enough. He will never lead you to do what His provisions and abilities are not able to bring you though it. I have often said, "If God has brought you to it He will bring you through it,"
David Ring has CP but oh how God has used him. God has a purpose for our lives and if He does---and He does---then He has sown into you the seeds to do that purpose. The seeds of greatness. Never doubt IF God can---He can and He wants to do great things in your life. Thrown down your stick or whatever is holding you back and trust Him and just go for it!
God asked Moses "What's that in your hand?" David Ring preaches this powerful message about whatever you have is enough for God to work with if we just surrender to His power and will.
We still serve a miracle working God who wants to do a miracle in you if we will just claim it. I have often said one of the saddest things when we get to heaven is when we find out all the He wanted to do for us and with us that we let go unclaimed.
I often say "the world may be in a mess but Jesus isn't" We must always remember He is controled by the world ---He controls the world. Nothing is happening today that He didn't tell us was coming but He also assures us---"I've got this. Trust me" and dear friend you CAN trust Him.
Jesus said in the last days lukewarness would abound. The love of many would be weak and there would be a great falling away. Far too many Christians are letting themseves be circumstance controlled. Here are some helps for weak faith.
Everyone of us at times need to beef up our faith. Satan knows if he can get our faith he has got us for without faith it is impossible to please God. While he certainly works in many areas he focuses much of his attacks on our faith.
Hebrews 11:6 says "Without faith it is impossible to please God" and that He is a "rewarder of those who diligently seek Him," We all suffer from weak faith at times but how should we deal with that and what does it mean to diligently seek Him?
When we honored God we were blessed. One quick look at history and the dependence the foundind fathers had on God will show us the way back from the foolishness of the day. BE NOT DECEIVED GOD IS NOT MOCKED!
The world maybe in a mess BUT Jesus isn't! His power and victories are available today just as always. His promises sure and His love as strong for you as ever. He is still greater than he that is in the world. We just need to believe that and claom it!
We are saved and free only by the grace and mercy of God. God was the reason for the founding of our lands and by His grace He has preserved us for 250 years and only by His grace!
I believe qith all my heart as you study real history that God raised up this whole North America continent to be the missionary center for the world and for many years it was. When these people mock America and do everything they can to destroy it---they are mocking God, sinking their own future and bringing about His return.
What about baptism and what role does it play in salvation? What is the biggest mistake Christians make in their life? Is marriage a 50-50 commitment? What happens when we take matters into our own hands and don't wait on God?
Have you ever said or at least thought "How long oh Lord will you tolerate all this?" I firmly believe we are coming to that day. Did your mother ever say "I have had enough?" Well that day is coming. God is a God of justice Luke 18:7 and He will redeem is faithful, chosen people, He is faithful to His faithful.
With all the things going on sometimes it is very easy to complain when you have no shoes when many have no feet. I know gas prices and food prices RE UP BUT WE ALL COULD LIVE WHERE PEOPLE STAAND IN LINE FOR HOURS FOR A LOAF OF BREAD. My mother use to say "It's worse where there isn't any". When was the last time you real thanked God for all His goodness?
David in the Psalms was very open about his trials and the traps his enemys set for him. He at times will show us his frustrations and dispair BUT he never lost his trust and faith in God. One of the hardest things for any Christian to do is---BE STILL. To let go and let God is a battle we all face yet so many won't admit it. Don't forget "Yea I walk THROUH the valley of the shadow of death FOR THOU ART WITH ME..."
David cries out to God in Ps. 25 about his enemies and the traps (nets) Satan lays out for him. He shows us we can trust God no matter what and that God is able. He can meet you need and give you the victory if we trust Him and keep the faith.
Discussion on why you need to know what is going on. The price for supporting Donald Trump. How to love someone but not like them. Don't gloat because your house is built on the rock. What about Iran?
In Matt.24 He says "I'm coming again. I'm coming again". In 25 He tells three stories. The wise and foolish virgins, (Be ready) The parable of the talents. (Make sure you've used your talents for Him. And the last story tells us how we are to use those talents.
Probably the most often asked question I get is "when do you think the Lord is coming?" My answer is usually "when God says go He is coming" BUT---one thing is certain someday He is coming for sure. Our job today is to make sure we are ready and to pray those we love are ready and not left behind.
Most realize it is a much different world today than the one we grew up in BUT Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is still the only answer for broken live and especially for our children.
Is America/Canada really split 50-50 on Araditional moral values? The real situation with Isreal. What can we do about racism in America? What should I as a Christian do in these times?
Consequences! Return to preaching about the consequences of not trusting Christ. Hell! Consequences in the judicial system. Consequences in our schools. The general consequences of life!
John 14:13 "That the Father is glorified"---is what you are asking for going to glorify the Father? Then go for it know He is able and loves you and you are a "Kings Kid."
Today we will take you to an actual chapel service at Freedom Village. You will also find out how we dealt with racism. In 40 years we had I incident of racism though we had every race over the years under the sun.
The Bible is full of evidence of the depth of God's love. The biggest thing Satan tries to stop is you from knowing just how much God loves you. Knowledge and love and a whole bunch of other things are all available through the Holy Spirit and today we will examine how the Holy Spirit can reveal them to you.
Paul in Eph.1:6 was amazed he was accepted in the beloved. I love where H.G. Spafford wrote in the hymn It is well with my sould----"God has regarded my hekpless estate and shed His own blood for my souls." Folks, the saying goes: "When you come to the place He is all you've got you will find He is all you need."
You will never understand how to fully trust Him until you grasp His total love and forgiveness for you. Ask yourselp: Have they ever disproved one thing in His Word? Have you ever discovered one person He failed or one promise He fail to keep to anyone in His Word? So you think you will be the first person in history He ever failed?
There is a difference between salvation and working on our fellowship with Him. Much of our struggles and failures are in the fellpwhip area. We are all broken people and if Satan loses the battle over salvation with a person he immedeately fires his wicked darts at their fellowship with God and sadly he has more wicked "firery darts" than ever to fire at us.
We live in a media/internet driven world and Satan is using it to the fullest. 75% of Christians report they have trouble fully trusting God. Many also say they struggle with sexual allurments and staying off social media.
75% of recently surveyed Christians sais there number one struggle was fully trusting. They could trust 80% of the time BUT struggled trusting all the time. Abraham in Romans 4 said he was "fully persuaded," Joshua said "I and I alone totally believed>" We akk fail Him at times. What does it take to fully trust?
What is the biggest threat to Christians? What should we do about illigals with CDL licenses driving tractir trailers? What should we do about teen riots? What we taught at the Village about manhood and womanhood? Special birthday song for a friend Blessed Assurance
Far too many of us let the cares of this world smother the promises God has for us in His Word. We need to be aware of the wickedness around us and therefore gow close we are getting to THAT day BUT never forget God loves us and He is always in control and He has a book full of promises just for you and me..
Phil.4:8 There is no question there is enough evil surrounding us but we are in charge of our thoughts and how it controls our outlook. We are to know what is happening(Hosea 4:6) but not to the point we forget His promises and His goodness and what He promises lies ahead.
Oft times it takes a birthday or other special occasion for us to say I love you. Yes, it's a difficult time for many but there are so many things we are to be thankful for. Today we will remember some of those.
What is my favorite promise in the Bible? What do I think about Iran? Why won't more preachers preach straight truth and speal out on moral issues? Truth about teen riots. Parents respnsibility. A special song in honor of 92 yearold long time listener.
Many report they believe what God says and warns and promises BUT---do you really believe?
Many tell me they are amazed God hasn't sent Jesus to return before now. The question is not IF but WHEN. Whenever that day comes there is a day before that day and we will face the great cloud of witnesses spoken of in Hebrew 12.
Hebrews 12 talks about a "great cloud of witness" who were slain and horribly persecuted for their faith who are in heaven watching us. Pastors killed for preaching what others today are afraid to mention. People who have watched their children slaughtered for teaching them the Lord's prayer while they won't even read the Bible to them. May God wake up this generation.
Obviously many are looking for the day of the Lord's return BUT there is a day coming before that day. Likewise many forget that when the Lord returns any and all who do not know Christ are left behind and all who are raptured stand before Him and give an account of our lives.
Family challenges and divisions. Putting mom or dad in nursing homes? When I think Jesus will come. What I think about Iran. Choosing the right church.
There are wicked patterns developing that are Satan's attcks on God's people, the church, our children and the traditional moral values of our countries. Beware!
One of Satan's biggest tools is to keep reminding us of our past that Jesus has forgiven. Ps.103 says our sins are removed as far as the east is from the west ---you can go east but you will never reach the west. Buried in the deepest sea---the deepest sea is 64,000 feet deep! Your pasr is gone NEVER to be remembered by Him!
Never in my life time has the enemy thrown so much wickedness in the path of people to try and trip them up. We are all tempted at times but whether we yield to it is our decision. We are all a composite of the decisions we have made whether good or bad. Thank God He loves and forgives and if we trust Him He will completely restore.
The biggest mistake many of us have made is when we take our departure and let go of the hand of God. I made that mistake when I was 17 and left home. Taking our departure is the start down a road to sin that is destine to take one farther than you ever intended to go. The good news is there is a God who loves you and stands ready and desires to forgive and restore. He is the only hope there is for a broken life.
When we get to heaven and find out all that God has kept from happening! Do not let go of that one little spark of hope. Never quit believing! Tailor made grace. What is going to happen in Iran? The secret blessing to giving.
There is a fantastic blessing in giving. Remember "For God so loved the world He gave." The way to being blessed is to give.
You can't stop a man with a dream. Go it in bite size pieces. You can with His help and His power
When God says "where yjere is no vision the people perish" Satan licks his chops feeling like he can devour you. God has a plan for your life but so does the enemy. You have the power and promises of God to keep that from happening.
The main goal of Satan is to get you so focused on the "nasty now" you let go of your dreams and you vision and become so caught up in worry you forget all the benifits of being a child of the King!
Will the earth be destroyed by fire? What disturbs you most about what is happening in the world today? The desperation of young people. Lack of straight forward tell it like it is preaching. The call to God's people in these days. People more worried about the price of gas than being nuked!
When we never find and do the will of God for our lives it is not just we who miss out. What about those God had a plan for us to reach for Him. The Billy Grahams, Billy Sundays, D.L. Moodys and so many more. His plan includes reaching others with our light and being His salt.
We are here right now because that was God's plan for our lives and though we may questions the whys and whats of various circumstances this one thing I know---He is totally in control and He has a purpose for every question we ask why to!
Sadly, no one under the age of 50 has ever seen a moral America and probably for the last 15 to 20 years a "civil" America. I have heard from many wishing for the "good old days." Alas, you and I are here now---for such a time as this---by God's design. This is our time to live and trust and be the light of the world and the salt of the earth.
As specific as God made you whether it's your eye color, finger prints, DNA, retena scan, etc.---He has a very specific will for your life. A permissive will and a perfect will!
Dear Pastor B, "What keeps you going?" What do you feel about homeschooling? Christian achools? What should a parent know about a public school teacher? Truth about Noah's Arc?
Have you ever felt unworthy? Well we all are! Unworthy---undeserving---none of us deserve the forgiveness and love and blessing of God BUT He said it and promises it and our job is to claim it and understand we are all broken people deserving of hell BUT God "so loved us" and if we all only remember where we were when He found us and how far He has brought us!
The rich man came to Jesus and said he wanted to follow Jesus completely. Jesus examined him and said, "One thing thou lackest." May we all swlf examine ourselvesto see what might be standing between Jesus and us!
The commandment is to LIVE by faith. I really feel far to many may HAVE faith but not LIVE by faith. Josuha left two thirds of what God wanted to give him unclaimed. How much of what God wants to do for us are we leaving behind unclaimed?
Josuha 1 God told Josuha and the people that He would give them everywhere where their foot trod. They only covered one third of the land He wanted to give them---they left two thirds unclaimed. What are we leaving unclaimed.
What if someone knows they were suppose to follow God's will earlier in life but didn't. Is it too late? Questions about my medical scare. About the days of Noah? How do you forget your past. Paul said "forgetting those things which are behind."
In Gen. 18:17 God says, "Should I withhold from Abraham what I am about to do?" I am going to have a frank conversation with you today about what I feel God is doind and the events surrounding us today. Brace yourself and please pray God will give you an open mind.
Oft times we focus on what a person did on earth for Jesus sake but my question and I really believe God's question will be what we COULD have dine! Did we "finish our course and keep the faith and fight the good fight?"
When we stand before Him it will not be all we have done but what we could have done that will be judged. The secrets of every heart. Every idle word. The people we could have witnessed to. The missed opportunities to let our light shine.
We will all be remembered by those we take to heaven and by those we leave behind. What will be your memorial? Who will you leave behind? Have you witnessed to them? What have you done on earth for Jesus and His kingdom?
How could something like what happened to you happen to someone like you? Is this the last of the last days? An explanation of what the Bible says this is all about. The price we pay for letting our light shine and standing for Him.
I am sure you have heard sometime along the way that there is no I in team. Likewise there is not team in salvation nor serving God. Well done thou good and faithful servant is singular. You---me---not a team---not a groupd just you and just me all by ourselves. We must choose whom we will serve and we must serve Him. Paul would say "Having done all stand,"
One of the hardw=est things---at least for me. "Be still and know that I am God." I want to fix the situation. I hate just sitting still but that is exactly what God says we must do---be still and trust Him. Knowing He has everything in His control and all you and I can do is work on us and our obedience!
There is a victory and God prmises blessings for those who trust and keep the faith even in these last days. He has a special blessing just for you!
What about the Supreme Court's ruling on conversion therapy? Will America/Canada ever return to the glory days of honoring God? What about marriage and having children in these wicked times? Are we in a pretribulation period? What is your stand regarding Good Friday?
Sometimes when we don't understand we ask "Why God why" and Satan will oft times fester that into bitterness . Feelings of unfairness, if you loved me God you wouldn't have let this happen---questioning God and left unchecked bitterness. Feeling of "It's just not fair."
Most do not realize when we question God we are following in the Devil's footsteps. He planted doubt in the mind of Eve and has been using the quesitoning of God ever since.Today we continue with the message Don't ask why ask what.
We are NOT somehow not spiritual if we ask why---but we are questioning God's authority. Look at those in the Bible facing very drastic measures who never asked why. One day we won't ever ask why again for we will have the mind of Christ.
There are things that happen in all our lives which cause us to ask why. You are not less than spiritual because you do---only human ad God understands.
Lots of questions about the seriousness of my recent hospital visist. How qould I address recent government shutdown. What is the most recent attack on parents rights? The truth about all of us failing God. Questions about the last days.The un-American decisions many politicians are making.
When asked recenting what my "religion" was I said "I don't have one. I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ." Sadly, there was no spot on her form for that answer nor "born again" Christian. John 3:3 doesn't say unless you are this religion or that religion you won't go to heaven---it says "Unless you are born again you will never even see the Kingdom of God!"
Any of us who have lived in snow country have probably had the sad experience of driving in a blinding snow storm where only getting close enough to a car ahead of you and following their trail lights kept you from going off the road. That's how we are suppose to follow Jesus!
THE BEST OF US HAVE A TENDENCY TO TREAT GOD AS A 911 GOD RATHER THAN A 24/7 AVAILABLE, ON THE JOB, EVER PRESENT, ALWAYS THERE ALWAYS ABLE FATHER WHO LOVES US.
How dowa the Hamas/Israel peak deal fit into last days prophecy? What concerns you most about the world today? Why aren't there Christian homes for troubled teens today?
When will the preaching about hell be banned? Evil is good and good is evil. Little by little America and Canada have handcuffed the preaching of God's Word. Will hell be next?
Will God save America and Canada? I don't think so but this I do know---every promise is mine and yours as individuals. Ours for the claiming no matter what the world does.
While there is definetly a revival happening amongst our young people the false gods are working overtime!
Cancer starts very small. Ignore it and it will kill you. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. I bet if your child came in all dressed in back and with a pendgram around their neck you'd be concerned. It's when they lie to you are rebell against you ---you better be concerned. Look how far we have rebelled in fashion, respecting authority and the list goes on and on.
When we talk about chasing buzzards many parents do not think about the buzzards teaching children today in our schools! In far too many cases these schools are indoctrination camps who have our children 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, 30 hours a week for 13 years! Beware. Beware. Beware!
The moment you decide to do something for zgog or that a step forward in your Christian life Satan says "oh no your not" and the battle begins. Satan knows your weakness and fights to stop you.
Satan is going to try everything he can to disrupt your life---your family and God's call on your life. You've got to chase him from your home, your children, your marriage and your whole life!
Do you believe the revival we are seeing especially amongst young people will last? A report on the influx of TSDC listeners and salvations. What do you think of the return of Jimmy Kimmel? A special report on the I love America rally in Buffalo NY
Satan knows our vulnerable weakness even more than we do. What ever we leave unprotected with the armour of God he will hit. God is great but not if we do not put on the whole armour of God!
Did we just witness the largest Christian event in history? 100 million people worldwide viewed the Charlie Kirk memorial and saw and heard a clear witness for Jesus Christ, salvation and repentence!
The Charlie Kirk memorial was a clear witness literally to the world of the saving power only found in Jesus Christ. 5 hours of telling the world Jesus saves and is the only hope of eternity with Him in heaven. Evert network telling the world about Jesus and a challenge to us all.
Shooting in York County Pa. What do you say to someone who says there is no proof the Bible is true? What will it take for people to wake-up? What do you think of ABC canceling Jimmy Kimmel? Why don't you watch Greg Gutfeld?
What is the possible meaning of all we see happening? Whay is God trying to possibly tell us?
Charlie KIRKS ssSINtion has created a stirring around the world. There is a rivival happening among young people but there is also a outpouring of hate. Which side will win is the major question of the day. Many young people are going to church like never before BUT what will they hear when they go?
Many are asking WHY did God allow Charlie Kirk to be killed. But the world is hearing about Jesus and God is turning a horrible situation around for His glory!
Many are asking WHY? I ask why not? Why did God allow Charlie Kirk to be killed? What the devil meant for evil, God is turning into good!
A recent study by Barna with Arizona Christian University revealed only 3% of sermons from pulpits across America say anything about sin!
We all have secret places---secret "spiders" according to 1 John 1:8. We keep takeing down the webs but not until we kill the spider will be really see victory.
We are told in God's Word in 1 John 1 that if we say we have to sin we are not only lying to ourselves but calling God a liar. Self justification for sin is very dangerous and God will try and convict us of it and get us to confess it but like cancer sin spreads and gets worse unless dealt with.
Tragic news about a alumni of FV who needs our prayers. We all have sins that left unconfessed and undealt with with block God's blessings---unless we kill the spider!
Where the the Bible say we are suppose to stand? How do you know what is God's will for your life? How did you know you were suppose to Pastor and work with kids? What do you think about vaccines for children?
Jesus in the seventh letter to the churches in Rev. 3 says, "I wish you were either hot or cold," The question of the hour is how can someone who says they are born again just stand by and stay silent when the liberals are mocking prayer and mocking God?
In light of the recent attack on prayer some wonder if Jesus and God will be ok. Trust me---they're going to be fine---I've read the end of the book. But what about you---if you are not born again you on't be fine! Hell awaits John 3:3. If you are saved yet won't stand for right I know there is coming a day of accountability. Pay day some day!
The mocking and insulting of GOD and prayer continues. Will God's people stand now? What will it take to get them to stand?
Prayer ought to be sacred to every child of God. If a Christian won't stand in light of the recent attacks on prayer---what will it take?
Explanation of what happened yesterday. Who is to blame for the school shooting in Minn. The truth about gun control. What is the real answer for America and Canada? Three examples of great families.
There are politicians across America in crime riddled cities saying "there is no crime here" while people died in their streets everyday. Today we saw another school shooting and children killed in Minneapolis. Do you need more proof of the need to be bulletproof?
P.S. So sorry for the delay in uploading this program the whole upload system went down.
Two things have happened of late that need to cause all of us alarm! You can be bulletproof for the asking and believe you me---you need to ask.
You and I are no match for Satan---but Satan is no match for Jesus. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world, 1John 4;4 GOD IS ble and wants to. be our allinallbut we have tolet Him andrealize we can't but He can!
July 9, 1755 an amazing occurance took place in the life of George Washington. This story can just as well be your story for the same power and protection of Almighty God is available to you and I. It is my fervent prayer you listen to this story and decide you too want to be bullitproof.
Many questions about this weeks programs. About letting God handle those who wrong you are trying to deal with it yourself. Generational curses. God can forgive anything but oft times there are scars, The great joy of being forgiven and knowing where you are going.
Remember---Pay day someday! The prodical and Lot both took their departure and the end result was disaster. We all have thoughts and ideas of what WE want to do but is it what God wants you to do? If it is it will work out fine---if it's not trials and tribulation awaits.
We are all products of the decisions we have made. Lear how to hear from God before making any major decision. Have a good Godly council around you who have your spiritual wellbeing at heart. Have wisdom! Don't let others lead your life in a bad way. Row your own ship!
This is a great time to be alive Biblically. Nothing is happening today that is not exactly as He said it would. The whole human anatomy proves the existance of God. Nature proves the existance of God and yet only 22% of people claiming to be Christians actually believe all of the Bible.
22% of evengelical Christians surveyed recently said the believed the Bible and it formed the foundation of their life. 22%. The other 78% said it was open to interpetation and situational!!!! No wonder Christianity is messed up. Today we will talk specifically about salvation and how it is not open to interpretation.
When is it time to give up on awayward son? What is the secret to raising good children? What do you consider your great achievment? What ciunties have you heard from this week? What to you say about filthy mouthed politicians. About Trump's language? What should a person considering remarrriage with children be concerned about?
God created three institutions: The home, Church and the Government. He never gave our children to the government to raise.That job was given to the home and the church was charged with the responsibility to teach the parents how to raise their children and to work along side the parents and provide programs and teaching to help them along the way.
Society is using our children as pawns. Today I will give you the experience of 50 years of watching the world use our children as a cash cow for their self interests. Our children are only growing up in the world we have provided them. It's Children, Inc.
When you look at a teenager or evw=en an older person do you see someone that will either spend eternity in heaven or hell? Do you really have a burden for lost souls? Thids is our time. These are our kids. We will someday answer from Jesus the question Why!
We are losing our kids because they are being lied to and the church is not offsetting that with truth. Kids want truth and we are not giving them straight truth. Either we are afraid to confront the lies they are being told or people simply don't know the truth themselves. God will honor and use truth and I can tell you first hand---kids are hungry for truth.
What do you think the answer to the youth crime problem is? How do you deal with bitterness and unforgiveness? What do you feel Christians struggle with the most? And more---
Today you will meet several servants of God who didn't let their trials of life stop them. THEY CONQUERED the trials life sent their way and tens of thousands have been saved because they found the what to their circumstances.
When we ask God why something has happened we challenge His authority and question if He really knows what He is doing? Have you ever said, "If you loved me you wouldn't have allowed this to happen? If we allow bitterness to enter our life we have played right into Satan's hand.
So often trials will come our way and we want to scream "Why Lord? Why?" Then later on down the raod of our christian journey we see the "Why and we see the "what" He wanted us to learn IF we are open to His wisdom. In the meantime, when we ask why we are actually questioning His authority and His wisdom when it comes to guiding our lives.
Why do bad things happen to good people. If I were to count the number of times zi've been asked this question it would be in the thousands and easily the number one question of all times.
For every action there is a reaction but for every action there is a cause. Today we will address the horrible violence we all see and explore the main causes for it and what God's Word says.
There was a day when America and Canada basically honored God and the traditional moral values were the rule and guide of our lands. We have looked at the family---TV and other boxes and the flaunting of immorality ---today we look at how churches in general use to be.
If all else fails read the directions! I'm sure you've heard that many times but it is so true. God's Word is a step by step guide for life, marriage, child rearing, finances---everything. And it is arule and guide for nations to be blessed---"Blessed is the nation who's God is the Lord."
It is not only important we remember HOW it use to be but WHY it was that way. There was a day when America and Canada honored God and we lived in BASICALLY MORAL, GOD FEARING LAND. THE ANSWER FOR ALL OF TODAYS ILLS IS GOD. II Chronicles 7:14 is the only answer to save our lands.
Does God "go with the flow" and amend what He calls sin with the times? Update on Dr. Pam. How to communicate with a spouse or teenager. What do you say about a 22 year old young lady leaving a bar at 2:30 AM and found dead in the Mississippi river? 19,000 children abducted from Ukraine by Russia. Many have had their organs harvested.
In Psalm 10 the evil does say God doesn't see---God doesn't care---He won't do anything. My friend they are wrong on all counts. He sees, he knows, He cares and He will repay. My challenge to you is---LET IT GO! We've all had people treat us bad and hurt us. If the truth be known we all have felt like getting even. But all that does is block your blessings. Let go and let God---He will take care of it.
It is not only important that we remember HOW it use to be but also WHY America and Canada were once nations that honored God. When you ask why all these vulgar tirads and foul mouths rants read Psalm 10 and listen today.
Psalm 10 today. I'm sure we've all said "What's wrong with these people. Don't they even fear God?" Answer---no they don't. He isn't even in their thoughts. But where are God's people. Why won't they stand and fight this evil?
I'm sure we are get them. If you buy something on Amazon or have your car serviced you'll get a text asking you to rate their service. Today we're going to pretend God is asking us the rate from one to ten how our church attendance is. How our prayer life and Bible reading is, etc.
Whats behind the whole attack on mnhood? Is ir wrong to remind God of His promises in your prayers? The importance of good gospel music in your life? Teaching kids to be good losers. Taking care of widows andd orphans.
I'm sure you've heard the saying "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" but you can remind an old preacher just how good our God is! Today I share with you somethings God remind this preacher of over the last few days.
Nothing has ever impacted my life and affected my faith life more than this little boy's story
Nothing that has ever happened in my life has impacted me more and had a more profound impact of my faith life than this story.
One of the biggest blockades to spiritual blessings is the devastating effect when a spouse cheats. Feeling of betrayal, bitterness oft times turn to hatred and a best unforgiveness. Today's program isa result of several stories I've heard in the last week. Sadly, cheating is rampant in today's world and the fallout is ruining good lives.
Life is full of disappointments and reversala. How we manage then will either free us to more of God's blessings or Satan will use unforgiveness and bitterness to his advantage. I pray you will heed this final part of this message.
Even with all the disappointments folks are facing and the trials that come out way somewhere someone is facing a much harder trial. We are all aware of the tragedy in Texas. We all could be one of those parents awaiting word about our child but with eac passing day and hour the chances fade of them finding her alive!
God never promised us a rose garden but said He would always be with us and make a way. His Word is full of promises to meet our needs and bring us through our struggles. He and He alone is your route to peace and comfort. Nothing in this world will satisfy but He always will!
Life is full of disappointments and reversals for Christians as well as non-Christians. The difference is as Christians we have a God who loves us and a Christ who will walk with us and guide us and has every answer we need. He is able and never fails but we must make Him our first resort rather than our last and we must trust Him through every trial.
Do you thank God for living in a free land to hear the truth and worship God? Many don't today!
One of the saddest parts of caring abpot peop;e is watching them go through things that God could have and I have to believe wanted to avoid them experiencing. His power is totally unlimited yet how often do we leave His presence and power behind and launch out in to a day to a world of uncertainty without it?
Letting go and letting God is one of the hardest things a child of God has to do! Many say they are trusting but in reality they are still trying to control the situation and somehow believe they can handle the situation better than God. Let go and let God!
There is a power of God available to all who trust Christ. John 1:12 It is available, unlimited and the great news is not only is it avaialbe but He wants to give it to you. With His power nothing is impossible without it---nothing is possible. Satan will do everything within his power to keep you from surrendering to this power.
A boy asked:"How do you know Jesus really lived?" Does the Bible permit divorce and should a woman stay in an abusive situation? The Biblical definition of love.
American Express says, "Don't leave home without it." I say regaurding the power and protection of God---DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!
The world is a very different place from a few years ago and horrible things are happening to good people everyday. There is a power and protection available to every child of God but we need to pray and ask Him for His hedge of protection.
Sadly many compare themselves to movie stars for beauty or rich people for wealth but Hebrews 12:2 says Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. The real question is: How do we compare to Him? His Word discribes in detail the standard---how do we compRE TO THAT STANDARD?
The world is in great need for intercessory prayer. Where ever two or three are gathered together God says if we touch it (claim it) He will do it. Everything happening today is exactly as He said it would be. We need to much in prayer in these days and claiming His great power.
Should the US go after Iran? What should someone do if they are not sure God's will? Don't be jealous of what someone else is doind. Be the best you! Show Jesus to your children and your spouse. You can"t change them but Jesus can. God uses nobodies.
I'm sure you've heard it said, "When you come to the place where He is all you have---you'll realize He's all you need." Two things I find people struggling with. One---complete trust Two---worried they are not doing enough.
Are we seeing the final days? I honestly don't know but I do know this is what they will look like someday if these are not them----SO===this might be a good time to strengthen our relationship now in preparation for that day whenever it comes.
Psalm 46:1 says "He is a very present help in trouble." If He is good in times of trouble---He's good all the time. 24/7 in good times and trouble He is ever present and wants to walk with you.
The questions are coming fast and furious---What do we do now? Is this the battle with Israel in Ezekiel 36-39? Truth is I don't know but if it's not this is what it will look like. It's time to get right, draw neat. Trust and obey because He wants to protect you and stand for you against all enemies.
Is there any sin God won't/can't forgive? Making God your first resot rather than last. Can God fix my situation? Biden's autopen puppeteers. Praise for an alumni couple of FVUSA
The take away of this story is: If you stay away from God long enought you will be marred and in time "good for nothing."
When a person or a nation says "God, I don't care what you says or what you want me to do---I'm not going to do it!" God wants you away from Him and a long way away.
There are several take aways in this story we'll discuss over the next few days. It's both the story of an individual and a nation who outwordly rebel against God and His authority and refuse to adhere to His Word. In such case God wants you away from Him---far away---Eupharates away!
There are times in our Christian journey when God will lead us in paths we simply do not understand only in due times to explain His purposes. Know this---He never makes a mistakes. He understands exactly what He is doing---exactly your situation and He has a plan for your life. Our job is to be obiediant and faithful knowing all things will work together for our good and His purpose.
How close do you feel we are to seeing Jesus? How are things in the Ukraine? Can you give us an update on the lawsuits? Why do you always date the programs?
"Except you become like a little child." When you were a child did you worry about your mommy dropping you? Well God promises are surer than anything you've ever trusted but you MUST trust Him.
Many have said "I don't listen to the news it's all bad." Well don't forget the "bad" stuff moves us closer and closer to the day of the Lord and should cause us to set up our urgncy to ne a witness to all He wants us to do and those we are suppose to reach for Him.
The scripturers are full of challenges to control what goes into your mind. To "delight" in God's Word and focus on Him and claim His every promises. Greater is He than he that is in the world but you have to take charge of what you let enter your mind.
alan knows if he can get your faith you can not please God. Heb. 11:6. The war is for your mind. Think good, positive thoughts and count your blessings! Whatsoever things are good and of good reports think on these things.
How do I get my teenager to listen to me? Several questions from spouses about their marriges? How do people in foreign counties find out about VT---finally we have the answer!
How do I increase my faith?
Sadly real fervent prayer is our last resort rather than exercising the real power at our disposal. God is our only hope and His power is totally unlimited but there are some qualifications required to see His power work in our lives and over our families.
There has been a steady undermining of God and the family for years. Like a serpant it has slithered into our schools, the media and ever area of family life and a child's life---YET Jesus still has the answer!
I will share what I am hearing from kids and parents and what parents and grandparents can do to combat it.
What or who do you fear the most? Russia, China or Iran? Where do you get your news? What do you think is the truth about Bidens health issues? What should be the attitude of Christians about Israel?
How thankful are you you can walk and talk and see and hear. Do you know God Himself is watching over you? He is able and He loves you and cares for you AND has an expected end for you!
This man's story will remove all doubts and excuses about what God can do with a surrendered life!
David's life story is an inspiration to all who wonder if God really can. The obsticles of his life are an encouragement to all facing lifes challenges.
Born dead for 18 minutes. Left with cerebal palsy this is a story you will never forget. I guarantee you will be totally inspired and will know the God can do anything!
Is there any sin God can not forgive? How did you know God wanted you to work with kids? How did Freedom Villagr get started?
! John 5:9-13 s very powerful reading. You either believe God and the "record"---His word---that He has given us of His son or you call Him a liar! Friend, that is dangerous territory!
Ps. 121 is Fbulous promise! Not only is He personally watching over us BUT He goes before us. Our going out and coming in is under His watchful care and His miracle power is ever with us.
The Bible says "Unless a man is born again he will never see the kingdom of God." John 3:3 bviously, many do not believe that and think a million other bekiefs---BUT what if I am right and the Bible is true?
Luke 12:51-57 Jesus tells what we are seeing today. The world and especially families are at war with each other. The devil is waging all out war against God's people and our command is to STAND! Families are under vicious attacks.
Where do you get your boldness from? Why don't more preachers tell it like it is? What percentage of people who claim to be saved do you think are really saved? What sins are forgiven at salvation and what if we sin after that day?
How many real, true friends do you have and where did you meet them? God's plan for the church is that there is your real source of meeting and forming good solid friendships with people who share your beliefs and where your children should find their friends and fellowship.
Three areas to ask yourself. Am I living in such a way God can be FOR me? Am I faithful and am I harkening? How is my Bible reading---my prayer life and my church attendance?
God is faithful to the faithful---so it's time to make sure oue faithfulness. The Bible tells us IF God be FOR us nothing can stand against us---it behooves us then to make sure we are living in such a way He can be FOR us!
The Word tells us IF God is FOR us nothing or no one can be against us. Far too many are claiming God is WITH us and He is---but are we living our lives in such a way He can be FOR us?
What to do if your pastor favors abortion and transgender modification? What do you think of AI? What number program is this? In light of everything going on why won't more pastors stand? If God is a loving God why would He bring judgment on His people? Update on orphans in Ukraine.
If God is faithful to the faithful and He is! Don't you think this would be a good time to get fithful? This is A SIMPLE FORMULA FOR GOD'S PEOPLE TO GET FAITHFUL.
Two takeaways from todays program. 1. God is faithful to the faithful and 2. He will not be mocked or tempted without bringing judgment! In these dangerous times we need to be faithful.
Are we not tempting God? The Bible is a history book as well as a book full of promises. It shows us what happens to people and nations who spit in God's face. No two nations on eart have gone from having been raised up by God to absolute mocking of Him than the USA and Canada. Beware! Something is about to happen.
Twice the Lord reminds us not to tempt Him. Matt. 4:7 and Luke 4:12 but I really believe that is just what we are doing---tempting Him to act and today I will lay out the reasons I believe something is about to happen!
Who do you think is the anti-Christ? Why do you say you believe God will bring judgment upon America before He comes? Where does the Bible say God turned the sides of the Red Sea into Ice? Do you believe revival will happen on America?
God has a plan for each one of our lives. Some are called to big things---others maybe called to what we would deem small things but today we will discuss little things that resulted in big things am=nd how He uses even those you are infirmed to do great things.
There is someting griping America and Canada that we have been clearly warned about yet God's people seem to be basically unwilling to recognize for the threat it is. It is spreading like wildfire and many, many Pastors has chosen to ignore it to the peril of their people and especially our children.
Jesus died on the cross to save us---what do we owe Him. What is our duty to Him for our salvation. Jude says we are to contend for the faith. To let our light shine to be His representatives. The salt of the earth.
Do you realize what is your responsibility as a child of God and are you doing it? One day we will meet the "great cloud of witness" of Hebrews 12 and see them face to face and Jesus!
VWhy didn't He take us home as soon as we trusted Him. We were totally forgiven. Washes and cleansed of all sin. Why not take us home while we were perfect and clean? We are here to be His witnesses. The light for the world. The salt of the earth. The redeemed and representatives of the King for all to see. How are you doing?
God declares over and over again His promises and that He wants to bless you. He also tells us what He expects from us as His children. We are to stand for Him. Be the light of the world. The salt of the earth and His ambassadors.
God is NOT some mean man in the sky who wants to hit you over the head with a hammer. He loves you and wants to bless you and meet your needs and has your tomorrow in the hallow of His hand.
Believing God has everything in control and knows exactly what is happening and has today in the hallow of His hand is trust. Believing He is able and can do what you are asking is faith!
Faith is taking God at His Word. Trust is believing He has everything under control and has "got this covered" and will take care of everything!
How amazing that we can pick-up our heavenly telephone any time 24/7 and talk directly to the creator of this world and the one who gave us life. The question some ask is "how long should I pray about this or that?" That question and many others will be answered today.
Is your God really big enough to take care of ALL your issues? 1 Peter 5:7 says "Cast ALL your cares upon Him for He careth for you." His power is unlimited. His promises are sure. Hoe loves you and cares for you and according to Eph. 3:20 He is more than able to meet your EVERY need and is able "to do" anything even beyond your dreams and certainly your needs.
First thing God warned us---"thou shall have no other gods before me." Yet, we have all these little gods before Him and worry and fret about our way of living and "toys" at the sake of our eternity and the judging of our spiritual life and eternal blessings.
The questions are coming from everywhere. People totally un-nerve over the happening around the globe. People seem to be in a panic over the horrible violence and wickedness of the day. Uncertain current events have people fretting and worried about "what's coming." Read your Bible. God is in control and He has your answer.
What happens when a person dies is that when they are judged whether they go to heaven or hell? Do you believe in presestination? What do you think of Trumps tariffs. Do you agree with someone praying the prayer of Jabez?
Eternity is not about religion. "He that has the son hath life---is on their way right now to heaven or if we hath not the son hath not life---on their way to hell" 1John 5:12. Verse 13 of 1 John 5 says if we know Him we KNOW we have eternal life!
God is a good daddy. He wants you with Him in heaven and for your loved ones to be there too. He is not willing that any should perish but sadly many have and many will go to the place He prepared for the devil and his angels.
Luke 16 the story of the rich man and Lazurus. We all die---rich and poor and eternity begins. A 1000 years from now you will still be alive---somewhere. Onlt two place people go when they die---heaven or hell. No going back. Hell is a place of horrible torture. You never want a loved one to go there---hear the rich man tell of his torture and beg for his loved ones.
There are two very clear and present dangers that should cause all of us to kick our witness and warnings into high gear especially for our families!
What do you do to reach a teenager who won't listen to anything you say? The turth about no tears in heaven. The role of the church today. Victory stores of TSDC.
The hate culture is every where and Godliness abounds. We are to stand and we are need to prepare our children to face it!
The only thing or people we can take to heaven with us is our family and those we have brought to Christ while on earth. Everything else and everyone else we could have won to Him will be left behind!
A veryfrank discussion of our being aware of the last days and of our personal eternity. Our childrens eternity and those around us.
If I asked your children about your spiritual legacy what would they say? You will leave one they will remember. Its not too late to leave a good one!
Today we will answer a number of questions using the Victorious Parenting seminar I did for several years. There is no question numerous questions arise from the events of late but as a child of God you do not have to let them rule your life.
One of the great joys of being a child of God is having a father who hears and answers our prayers and is able to do anything we ask or need. He promises to hear and answer when we pray.
If your house was on fire you wouldn't hesitate to call 911...but how often to we hesitate to pray about a need? I don't know about you but when I need something from a company I want to talk to a human---one in America and one who can actually has the power to actually do something about my problem! For a Christian His name is God!
The doctrine od hating evile and standing against evil and evil doers is a commandment of God that we will all answer for someday!
Satan has slowly and systematically been working for years to eliminate this Bible doctrine for years and explains how we have gotten where we are today.
What is Satan's biggest lie? How did we get in this mess? How should God's people stand? What does the Bible say about hell? Why won't more preachers preach about hell?
Even though He tells us numerous times that "with men this may be impossible with Him all things are possible"---many of God's people simply do not believe it!
Do you believe in a God of miracles? When you pray do you expect a miracle? Are you letting someone steal your miracle? Are you really asking for a miracle?
Do you believe in a God who can literally do. anything? Do you need a miracle? What or who are you really trusting in? Will you get to heaven someday and find out miracles you missed on earth because you did not trust Him wholly?
Questions about actions on Tuesday nights President's address. What is it going to take to fix America's mess. What is my favorite promise of God. Saddest things affecting our freedoms. What is wrong with Christian America and Canada.
The world is searching for peace. I guarantee you it is not in a bottle be it pills or booze---Jesus is the only way to have peace in this world or eternally. He said He has come to bring a "peace that passes understanding."
The only question is where? This is my bad. I put the wrong date on the program for today please forgive me. This is the right one for Wednesday March 5th. The question is are you sure you are going to heaven and will your loved ones be there too?
Heaven is eternal. Your ticket to get in is: Have you trusted Jesus Christ. Will you be there? Will your loved ones be there?
The apostle Paul would say death, as a child of God, was gain. (Phil.1:21) I've known Christians who have gotten mad at God for taking their loved ones. What is heaven really like and would we want a loved one to come back?
Today we're going to answer the question is heaven really real? What happens when we die in the Lord? What is heaven really like? What do we do in heaven? Will we know our loved ones in heaven?
Do you believe President Trump is saved? Listen to the prayer at the opening of yesterdays first cabinet meeting. How do I resist the devil? Does God really know what you are going through?
Nothing, including how Satan is attacking is just like God said it would be happening! BUT---remember 1 John 4:4 "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." Here's how to resist him.
There are things Satan does in these last days that he has never done before and ways we need to combat him
Satan has set his sights on you and knows your every weakness. How do you resist him and his attacks especially in these days.
One of the biggest faults common to God's people is they have a limit to how much of His Word they actually believe especially when it comes to the person of Satan and his power to deceive!
uestions about Ukraine. Finishing list of promises of God. The present status of teenagers. The dangers of labeling children. Are things getting better from God's point of view?
Everything happening today is exactly as God promised. and His promises to you and me are just as sure!
Today I share a list of God's promises I made in 1977 beginning with His promise to bless us if w give!
We are to be the salt---the light---His witnesses. The need is all around us. With email, cell phones and texts we havw no excuse for not being a blessing and making a difference in someones life today. How about praying and asking God to send someone across your path today to bless?
The whole reason we are here is toserve Him and make a difference in somebody's life. Who is now in heaven or going to heaven because of you? Someday we will all face God either in heaven or at the great white throne of judgment.
This is the most dangerous ruling ever handed down for religious freedoms and parental rights and moves us closer to Jesus's coming. Every Christian needs to heed this vicious attack!
My experience is most Christians have a line where beyond that point they can't believe God can do something. Jonah swallowed by a whale? Lazurus raised from the dead? Parting the Red Sea? A 100 year old man and a 90 year old wife having a baby? Do you have a line beyond which you doubt?
How long should you keep praying for something you are asking God to do? Until you receive a solid unmistakeable no! I prayed for my best friend in the world to get saved for 30 years!
If there is a God why does He allow bad things to happening? What do you think of Trump's plan for Gaza? What about USAID? If God knows what I am going through why do I need to tell Him?
James 1:27 "Pure religion and undefiled is this: take care of the widows and orphans." It's what the Bible says! Do you really believe it?
So many people I have met over the years can tell others "God loves you. God can make a way where there is no way. He can do whatever you need Him to do." They just can;t believe it for themself!
A number of questions about the election. It has been 10 days since the election and our liberal friends are still wondering how this landslide happened. Today I will give you 10 reasons they seem to be overlooking. What do you think of Mr. Trump's cabinet appointments? Is God giving us a chance?
Solomon said:"It's a new day of singing. Winter is past flowers are blooming." If someone wishes to go through today playing Oh ain't it awful then so be it but the Psalmist said: "This is the day the Lord has made. I wil rejoice and be glad in it" It is total up to us!
It is so sad what we are showing to our young people but a recent message, especially to our girls is wicked!
One of the most oftened warned about in the "last days" is the false prophets, the wrong crowd. Often we do not think about liberal, God hating newscasters or politicians as "wrong crowd" but that is just what they are. BewARE WHO YOU LISTEN TO---ARE THEY SHARING BIBLE TRUTHS?
What happens to an unsaved person when they die? What does vail repetition mean? What does it mean God is a rewarder? What is the status of the waiting list?
Thank God He still answers prayer. Remember---this is just a chance! We need to continue to pray He heals the wickedness of our land and restores His ways around the world. Mr. Trump will be under great threat than even before and we need to pray that God's will revails.
You know more today who won the election than I for I am doing this program Tuesday BUT this much I know---THE one who saved me. THE miracle worker of your life and mine is still on the throne. 50% of America will be happy and 50% unhappy but no President saved you, cooled the fevored brow and brought a financial miracle ever in your past and God is still on the throne and fulfilling His promises.
Today is election day as you know unless you've been on another planet lately. So many worried about how it's going to turn out, etc., etc. BUT of this be assured. Which ever way it goes Jesus will still be King. He still will be coming and He is faithful to the faithful!
We do not have a racial problem or a hatred problem today---we have a sin problem and we can either vote to slow the rate of abortions, the downhill slide morally of our schools and government in general or not. We have that choice. Just remember no matter how man may wish to justify it---God still calls it sin!
Some reported having trouble downloading this program so we have uploaded it to the satalite again.
Do you believe in the baptisim of the Holy Spirit? Health update. Biden called those following Trump garbage! Using the work of the church to build the people NOT the people to build the work!
I doubt none of us will really comprehend just how much God loves us till we get to heaven. I likewise doubt that someone who has never had children can comprehend the love of a father or mother for a child but that is the love God instills in us by His grace.
"While we were yet sinners?" That part of scripture goes through mu heart like an arrow. I blatantly ran from Him. Rejected His calling and rebelled knowing what He wanted me to do. Yet He still loved me, forgave me and never gave up on me.
Paul never could get over being "accepted in the beloved!" THE hardest thing for me as a new Christian was grasping the depth of God's love and how He could send His son to die for me.
What is the truth of Romans 13? If we oppose the "ordained of God" we bring damnation on ourselves. What do you mean about preaching loopy? A first handm eye account from Ashville, N.C. horrible.
Can you imagine the faith it took for Abraham to have faith that what God had promised He would do? He was 100 years old when Issac was born, Sarah, his wife, was 90, Yet he believed and doubted not. The God asks him to trust Him even more and orders him to sacrifice that very son!
We are told throughout the Bible NOT to fear God but yet---fearing the Lord is the beginning of all knowledge.
I hear from people al the time "I just wish people would wake up." What they are talking about is the people need to see the condition of the world as it really is. Many wish those battles of the "last days" would happen and people would awake from their slumber and serve our God with the love and honor He deserves.
A good time to be circumstance controled and also a good time TO BE CIRCUMSTANCE CONTROLED
Two questions about the program. Do you believe this will be a fair election? How to handle disagreements within the family. Dealing with children who question your standards.
We left off yesterday talking about the fact that circumstances mean nothing to God. He is able and the only thing that matters is our faith! He is still healing, moving mountains, meeting needs and faithful to the faithful!
There is a big difference between knowing what God's Word says and actually believing it and claiming it's promises for us. Circumstances mean nothing to God but so often we look at circumstances and allow them to cloud our minds and sow doubts.
There was a day when the church was the central unit in most towns. It likewise set the Biblical and moral tone for society then many moral issues became political issues! The killing of 60 million babies is NOT a political issue but rather a moral issue. Homosexuality likewise although they have been dragged u=into the political arena.
The Bible is full of warnings for us to beware of how far man will fall in the "last days." Satan is deceiving as neve before in our lifetimes and far too many Christians are falling prey to his deception!
What is Yom Kippur? What do you say to a sister who believes transgenderism is OK? What do you say to a family member who makes fun of you for being a Biblical wife? The Apple Tree story
The liberals say "global warming" but the Bible says God will be not mocked. Is America reaping what it has sewn? God 's Word contains truth and the truth is we have mocked God and sinned against Him and He promises He will not tolerate it!
It is reported that 365 million Christians live around the world under persecution. Many are being shaken because we are openly seeing it here maybe for their first time or at least we see it 24/7 in living color. But nothing is happening that God did not warn us was coming!
I keep hearing "I just can't believe this"---check your Bible----believe it. The world says all the "natural" disasters are because of global warming. Kerry says its the number one problem in the world. God says sin is the number one problem and if you read Gen. 3:17-19 you will find that when man fell so did God's creation.But there is an answer!
Nothing prepares us for enduring persecution than watching the endurance of faithful parents. I can't tell you the times someone has referenced watching the endurance of their parents for their ability to trust God in the tough times.
I see the awful devastation from Helene and just wonder am I wrong in thanking God it didn't strike where I live? Sould Israel go after Iran's nuclear facilities? What effect will the longshoremans strike have on us? What is your opinion about the bebate?
I'm sure you've all heard the question "Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?" Well let me ask you a different question. Are you closer to God now than you were 4 years ago?
The recent events surrounding Israel prove we are living in Biblical times. Tiday we will study these events!
There are times in all of our lives when we question what God is doing. Circumstances that just don't make any sense pop up from time to time and our job is to trust and obey---but that is oft times easier said than done. But the story I will share with you today proves He knows exactly what He is doing---all the time!
It still works if you trust Him and believe! What doesn't work is when you sa "I know God what you want me to do but I refuse. BUT I want you to jump through my hoop!"
What concerns you most on the world stage? A conversation about how people who claim to be saved can be in favor of blatant sin and not adhere to the Bible.
Not only are you not alone but you are covered by His wings. What does it mean to be covered by His wings? An illustration God gave me recently.
When you ask God for something do you hold it in your hands---do you believe it's done before it's done? Are you totally confident He is going to do it? Have you taken the title deed to what you are asking?
Satan doesn't want you to know how much God loves you and one of his biggest lies is that you are all alone in this battle called life. My friend, we are all broken people who have disappointed God many, many times---but He still loves us and has promised never to leave us or forsake us.
Duet.31:6 FEAR NOT---YOU ARE NOT ALONE. THE WAR HAS RAGED EVER SINCE TIME BEGAN BUT GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN WITH HIS PEOPLE AND HE HAS ALWAYS GIVEN VICTORY WHEN HE SAW FIT! HE LOVES YOU AND HE WILL ALWAYS BRING YOU FORTH WITH A HIGH HAND!
Pastor I can't believe how some who call themselves Christians can vote for people in favor of abortion. Three surprizes when you get to heaven. Beware the "friends" your child meets through the internet. What do you think of early voting? Parent beware and know who is teaching your child and what they are teaching them. Wet finger politics.
We take things by faith everyday yet so often when it comes to God---we just can't see how He's going to do it. Friend, that's what makes Him God. He is THE miracle worker and He is able to do whatever you need Him to do today for you but we must trust Him and walk by faith.
Peter prayed "and Lord grant unto thy servant boldness." Have you ever prayed for boldness? God will grant it if we pray for it. The Bible does not say , "I can do all things." It says "I can do all things through Christ and His strength,"
Peter would go from a coward who denied even knowing Jesus to one when facing death asked God for boldness. If there is one thing Christians need today it's boldness. Our world is reeling in sin and we are reaping the results of God's people not standing in the past and if ever there was a time we need to stand it is today. God give us some people with boldness.
Peter in a matter of a few short weeks would go from one who would not even admit to knowing Jesus to one praying for greater boldness after facing possible death for standing for Christ. If ever we needed people of boldness it is now and the source of that boldness is the same as Peter found!
Update on hurricane. What TV shows do you watch? What actors or actresses do you like?
What ever happened to the traditional moral values? Why won't more Pastors stand?
When was the last time you thanked God for being born in America or Canada? Even if you were born elsewhere and are living here today---you are free and millions around the world wish they had your freedom!
If we are to be like Him---which we are and if we are to be patterned after Him---which we are---it is important to know that God IS love. This world is full of hate but God and His people
Today is the great debate and much has been said of the "values" of the two candidates. We each have a value system---the things we really value. Those walues form the foundations on which we base our lives. God's Word has a solid value system upon which we are to build our lives!
God who hung the stars in space and keeps them from coliding knows your need and is more than able to meet that need no matter what it is! He made you so He certainly can heal you and His all two seeing eyes are always upon you and He can do whatever you need Him to do!
Should a young couple get married in today's world? Should they consider having children? What advice would I give a young couple if they do marry? How to deal with anger. An explanation of what to do when you don't know what to do!
God will eventually have in heaven what He wanted from the very beginning. People who look like Him and think like Him and who have chosen His son as their Savior. And along the way He knows exactly where you are and what you are going through.
Retirement after working for the company many years is part of life---IF you can afford to! But sadly, many Christians are retiring on God when the world and especially the church needs your wisdom and experience. Many say "Let the younger ones do it." but sadly, many younger ones aren't do it---thank God for those who are---but so much histiry and wealth of knowledge is "sitting on the shelves" ---reenlist, get involved and let your light shine---the world needs your wisdom!
The Word is true and unchanging but Satan wants you to believe God has changed His mind on certain sins. Many churches today are preaching a watered down version of the scriptures and the lukewarmness warned about, the great falling away and the love of many waxing cold is all around us!
Satan does not want you to believe that God and He alone is your answer. He wants you to believe the age of miracles has past and you are all on your own BUT that is a lie from the pits of hell. The Bible is full of miracles---history is full of miracles and I can tell you first hand---today, He is still doing miracles and yours might be right around the corner but you HAVE to trust Him.
Other than her stand on abortion what else do you not like about Kamala Harris? What is the difference between image and likeness? What will heaven be like and is it wrong to long to go there? 40 million Christians will not vote.
The Bible is full of miracles storries. God doing the impossible and I could tell you stories of thosands of miracles I have personally experienced and witnessed BUT I can also tell of miracles I am seeing today---right now. Keep looking up---He is still in the miracle business!
What a great truth to know that He saw this day---He saw your circumstances long before you did. He is always 20 miles down the road in front of us. We see the puzzle one piece at a time God is always looking at the big picture. He knew you before you took your first breath and He had and has a plan for you!
Opportunities are all around us. We are in a 2 minute drill. A question we all need to ask ourselves is are we makinga difference in someones life? Whether helping senior citizens, touching children;s lives or volunteering in a program at your church. This is a time we all need to step it up.
This is the greatest time of need I have ever seen in my 52 years of ministry. What a time to make a difference in someone's life!
Did you actually say the other day you felt sorry for Joe Biden? Report of conversation with a woman, who indentified herself as a Christian, and favored abortion. The horrible fallout of pornography. Truth about illegals coming across the border. What troubles you the most about how Christians are thinking. A report on the 4362 kids waiting for the TSDC booklets.
A young youth pastor asked "Could you explain the secret of FV?" Truthful, there was no secret---we preached the Word and told it straight as God's Word says it! Today an explaination of the program at FV
Whether anyone admits it or not we all doubt and have fear from time to time. Have you ever called out "Where are you God?" The wonderful news is He is right there beside you AND doubts and fear are very normal---in fact, they are two of the biggest tools Satan uses against Christians.
You can be strong and courageous when you remember God is always by your side. He promises to never leave you or forsake you and He is always right there---ready to help in times of great need.
It's sad that we have come so far that a preacher who tells it like it is is called courageous. There was a day when the majority of preachers told it like it is! Is it courageous just to be obiedient to His Word?
Kids making their own report cards---sneaking out at night---skipping school. The miracle of the Sean Sellars movie. The attacks continue. Beware the hackers. The dangers of the computerized world. If you don't vote---you really are voting.
The fact that God promises to always be with us should give us the courage to stand for Him. But He also promises to be for the faithful. God is faithful to the faithful
Hell is a real place. A place of eternal torment. Fire, smoke, stench. Those there burn forever but are not consumed. It is a place of everlasting horror for those who reject Christ
Hell is a real place. A place of everlasting torment. Smoke, fire, screams and eternal fire but those there are never consumed. It is also a "bottomless pit."
Hell is a real place and a place of everlasting torment. A place of fire yet totally dark. You won't care that "my friends will be there too" any more than the fallen angels care AND make no mistake about it---those you have witnessed to and who have rejected Jesus will know the truth!
Over the next couple days I will discuss the reality of hell and the total removal from our society of the consequences of sin. The world says there is no God, no heaven nor hell but the reality of the Bible says differently.
Choices---the ones we make everyday will affect our lifes. Life is full of a series of decisions. Make the right ones and you will be blessed. Make the wrong ones and you will pay the price!
Also, questions about the election coming up and things God's people need to focus on.
Today's nail---"If you love me you will let me." No, if you really love them you will say no and stick to your guns and what the Bible says is right. Many have turned out right because a parent loved you enough to say no!
Nails 3---"I'm old enough to make my own decisions!" Good---then decide to trust Christ. Decide to stay away from the wrong crowd. Decide to stay pure. Parents---decide to dedicate your home and your children to the Lord!
Todays nail,,,"It's my life and I can do with it what I want." No, 10,000 times no---your life was created by God and purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ!
A Powerful message for teenagers and parents preached before over 2000 young people and their parents
What is your take on the election? Will it be a fair election? Election day? What concerns you the most with what is happening? Do Christians vote? Rearing children by design. Where are parents making their biggest mistakes?
Jesus told the disciples He would send another comforter who would be with us always. The Holy Spirit is our guide, our teacher, the one who causes us to remember His words BUT we have to engage Him.
Who do you have your trust in? God or man? Are circumstances controling your faith or is God?
I'm sure you've heard the saying "Can't see the forest for the trees!" Well there are far too many Christians so overtaken by their circumstances that they completely forget the wonderful promises of God and the victory theirs for the taking.
How long have you been working with kids? What differences are there in kids today? What have you seen work and not work in changing their lives? What bothers you the most about Karmela Harris? What should we be on guard for?
There are those who obviously believe that what God once called something sin Hw considers it sin no more! The watered down, back scratching preaching in many churches are leading many down the road to eternal damnation. Buckle up for s straightforward, tell it like it is program.
Obedience brings blessings---disobedience brings consequences! I guarantee you the vast majority of today's Christians do not believe that. We have the attitude that "God understands" and somehow believe He winks at our sin and out right rebejjion.
If God has brought you to it He will bring you through it. I Cor. 10:13 SAYS HE WILL NEVER TRY YOU BEYOND THAT WHICH YOU ARE ABLE TO BEAR AND WITH THAT TEMPTATION HE HAS ALSO MADE A WAY OF ESCAPE!
I've been around boat all my life growing up on Lake Ontario. If you loose the moorings on a boat and it starts to drift in time it will drift so far you can't see the shore any longer. Sadly, many have drifted so far from God's mooringss that they refuse to heed any of His warnings any longer.
Many questions about attempted assasination of former President Trump. Secret service investigation. Will Biden resign? Will God spare America and Canada and what must we do to see that happen?
Several have asked if God can fix America/Canada. It's not a question of what God can do! The next most often asked question is: Where do we begin? We begin by absolutely believing He can and then we go back to where the train jumped off the track.
Today I will share with you about two types of people I am hearing from that may surprise you. Some are really upset Jesus hasn't come yet and fear with a renewed sense of hope "it's just going to delay His coming." Others feel hope and optimism for the first time in a long while.
Gossip, malice, bitterness, guile, evil speaking, sowing discord---how often we overlook those sins and yet they are undermining our culture and ruining so many churches and families!
Checking the stories of the greats of the Bible and historical greats of the faith and as well as modern day greats they all had one thing in common---they never quit!
If you need proof God is able and that truly we can do all things through Christ---it is coming your way today!
Born with cerebral palsy, made fun of---told he would never amount to anything or get married or have children. David Ring is a real, living example of what God can do with a life who simply surrenders. Since 1973 he has preached to over 100,000 people a year in churches all over the world. Married and a father of four he is an inspiration to all!
God is right and His plan is best and right for your life! You will not win an argument with Him and His plan for your life---His lordship is the very best!
Jonah did not want to go to Nineveh ---in fact he ran from the call of God. There are many who do not want to see America or Canada saved. They want to go home in spite of those who will be left behind and in spite of great things happening around the world for Christ.
What are the biggest differences tween the kids you dealth with years ago and the ones you are dealing with today? Well Biden be the nominee? Who do you think will take his place? The challenes from God in Joel chapter two. Update on Lauren.
I am sure most listening today feel we are in the "last of the last days" and Jesus is coming soon. BUT---what if God has a different plan? What if He wants His people to wake -up and stand-up and humble themselves, pray, weep and fast?
Jesus not only rose from the grave but He was seen of well over 500 people. He made an open show of conquering Satan. We have a victory to show this world AND we have so much to be thankful for---in spite of all the problems we see around us. It's much worse elsewhere!
Our freedoms have been purchased with a price. People did not just throw their hands up and say "God will have His way>" He gave us a will! True everything is either God caused or God allowed BUT allowed by Him giving us a will. HIt is NOT His will a man take a gun and kill his whole family or rob his neighbor or any of the other henious crimes men commit. That is man exerciseing the free will God has allow him to have.
I am not ashamed of the gospel! Update on Lauren. Nasty emails I get. The debate. We've got to stop burying our kids. A day when we could disagree without hating, threatening or retailiation.
I'm sure most of us have heard someone say something really offensive and said to ourselves, "Buddy one day you're gonna get yours!" Well according to God---they will and in many cases you and I will see it. Stand firm, tell it like it is, be a good soldier and God will deliver you!
Prov.1:7 says "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all knowledge." We have in many cases lost the fear of the Lord. Ezekiel said the God's preachers put "no difference between the profane and the holy." I really believe we have lost the meaning of profane!
Growing up in the 60's we knew what was profane and what was holy. Sadly, we have blurred those lines and actually embrace wickedness that we once would never have tolerated. I blame our pulpits and thosee we have elected for this moral decay of our lands and the lives of our children that have been destroyed.
The Bible in Matthew 6:24 says you can't serve two masters. The world and God but many are saying today "I'll take both." When you wonder how we have fallen in the trials of todeay look no farther than the churches who put no difference between the profane and the holy!
What troubles you the most about Joe Biden? How did God turn the Covid situation around to be a blessing?What do you feel is the importance of being a a right church? The truth about illegal immigration! Goerge Bleverly Shea sings How great thou art.
There is no question many are struggling and America, Canada yea the world is facing many trials but Jesus is still THE one and only answer and hope for all.
The Bible is full of warnings of false prophets especially in these last days. If Satan showed up at your door in his read suit, horns and pitch fork we certainly wouldn't let him in. BUT---he soesn't show up that way. False, feel good doctrine---no attention in preaching to righteousness and right living---the internet, wickedness in our TV shows, acceptance of abominations and the list goes on. Beware!
One of the greatest preachers of modern times B.R. Lakin was called "The prince of preachers." Here is one of his great sermons.
Updates on Lauren and Ray. Questions about general state of the union and how the downturn in economy is affect us. Update on Heart Stream and various attacks on Christian ministries. Outlook on the election plus more.
When we talk to Him they call it prayer BUT we need to be still and listen to Him and realize if God says to do something He is able to empower us to just to do it!
Many have given God excuses why they cannot do what He is leading them to do. Moses was no exception. You do not need to pray about what God has commanded you to do. Trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus.
God can use anyone and anything. When He calls say "Here am I" don't ask why or give Him excuses---He has a plan and He will make it happen!
A tribute to our vets in honor of D-Day. What are the most imortant things parents whould be aware of concerning their children? Can a person lose their salavation? Did David lose his salvation? What if a person renounces Jesus? Do you believe this will be a fair election?
Every day is a new day---hand made by God---and we have a choice whether to smile and be glad in it or play "Oh ain't it awful." We will be blessed and rewarded for how we choose to live and whether we choose to let our light shine. It's our choice!
IF my people! The question is NOT can God save America but rather IF God's people will meet His criteria for Him doing it!
Jude changed directions about what he wanted to talk about. Orginally he wanted to talk about salvation but something was happening in the church. Fakse prophets were leading people donw the wrong path and he needed to challenge the people to CONTEND for the faith. Draw a comparison to today and those who won't contend for the faith.
Timothy challenges us to "Be a good soldier." We are all alive right now "for such a time as this." We ware commanded to stand. Our nation is sufferu=ing and our children are dying because far too many have decided to sit on the sidelines. The time is now when we must stand or face the total eroding of all our freedoms.
Update on Lauren. What I think about the Trump trial and the whole vicious attack on all our freedoms and the mockery made of our judicial system.
22-24 vets commtt suicide every single day. Over 500 children die of "un-natural" causes every day. Mental illness abounds and whether we know it or not everyone of us have someone in our circle of friends, family or associates who is struggling. We pass by them every day!
Our problem is not ignorance---it's embracing and believing thungs that simply are not true and chosing not to believe God. The seeds we having sown are growing all aaround us and we are getting what we have sown.
This is the day we remember those who have given their lives for our freedoms but it should not be a day but rather everyday AND we should remember EVERTDAY that Jesus gave His life that we might be free!
Can God meet my need? Why aren't there more Christian homes for troubled teens? Do you think Trump will win? How should we look at this election?
There is no question the world is a mess---BUT GOD! It's time God's people get excited about our Christian life!
God is still in the miracle business BUT the same old reason many don't see their miracle is going on today. They don't believe in a God of miracle. Two, they don't expect a miracle. Third, They let doubt creep in and lastly, they let others steal their miracle.
Not only do many not believe in a God of miracles but even when they pray they don't expect Him to do it!
You can either trust Him with everything or you really trust Him with nothing! My Bible says that "Nothing is too hard for the Lord." Do you really believe that? He knows exactly where your level of trust is and He is looking for people who will really trust Him inspite of the circumstances surrounding us.
Combating the evil of the day. What drags down Christians the most? What is Freedom Village Canad doing? How can I start a home for troubled kids in my area? What is the truth about China and the border?
James 1:12 "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried (tested), he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him." My friend, this is our time---we are here "for such a time as this." What we HAVE done is past. The need is today!
These are tough days no question BUT they are also days of great opportunity. Today we talk about having fun even in these days of trials!
Think Biblically Act Spiriotually Live faithfully! A recipe for victory and blessings in these last days.
Too many, who name the name of Christ, are gripped by fear and are not trusting God the way they should. Today we will discuss how to have victory and blessings in these last days. God is doing great things while far too many are gripped with fear.
It is our choice. Yes there is alot of wrong BUT His Word is true---His promises sure and ours for the taking! His prophecies are all coming true but we need to realize just as sure as His prophecies are true so too are His promises to the faithful.
It is so vital that we as Christians separate God's warnings for sin and disobedience from His promises to the righteous! He is faithful to the faith but He also warns those people and nations who disregard His ways and let go of His hand.
It is so vital that we as Christians separate God's warnings for sin and disobedience from His promises to the righteous! He is faithful to the faith but He also warns those people and nations who disregard His ways and let go of His hand.
No nation on earth, other than maybe Israel, owes more to God than the United States of America. But we have forgotten God and forgotten our heritage. We have allowed sin to reign and we have mocked God and ignored His Word. I firmly believe His judgment is falling on our land.
Proverbs 1:7 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all knowledge." Why I do not fear the terrorists but I do fear God. We say "God please bless America again." What we should be saying is, "America bless God again!"
Many questions about campus riots. The truth about Replacement Theology. Where's Biden? My opinion on colleege loan forgiveness and the plan to bring thousands of Gaza refugees here on student visas.
Are you aware of the false doctrine of "Replacement theory?" Why are so many Christians being led astray? Do you really realize what your salvation cost Jesus?
As we all witness the sad things happening around our countries---like Jeremiah---do you weep for our children? Many of us have children and grandchildren who are growing up in a land far diffent from what we grew up in. I firmly believe Jesus is coming BUT our children will grow up in this un-Godly time until that day comes.
Jerimiah wept yes because Jerusalem had been devoured and destroyed BUT he wept mostly because it did not have to happen and he wept at the lack of concern of God's people. There is a direct comparison with all that is happened in America and Canada today.
Lam.1 the weeping prophet Jeremiah reviews the total destruction of Jerusalem---how it has fallen and been plundered---this one time God fearing God honoring city now lays in ruin and is a source of mockery to all and he asks "Is it nothing to you?"
A report for a Freedom Village alumni worling at Cal State in California. In light of all the reports of near misses in the sky and at airports should someone travel by air? How can we stop all these horrible riots on college campuses? Do you have an idea who might be the anti-Christ?
The question keeps coming like a flood: "Can God save America?" And, "what is happening with the church?" Has the worldview of the church changed and if so why? The question is NOT can God save America but rather will God's people heed the commands of II Chronicles 7:14
The Bible is very plain that in the last days everything will focus on Israel. A Godless school system not only removed God but likewise right and wrong. We have esteemed those who graduated from these "Ivy League" colleges and universities for decades but have ignored their anti-God criteria and today we are seeing the result.BUT---there is an answer!
More than any thing else today, other than your salvation---the great need of the hours, in todays world, is we put a hedge of prtection around us and our homes and family. This is passover week for our Jewish friends. We need the blood of Christ over our homes and we need to claim the "evil" will passover us and our loved ones.
God's people need to apply the blood of Jesus to our homes---to our lives. We have lost our hatred of sin. Righteousness is despised by Satan and all his followers and God's people need to identify wrong and wickedness and God's Word says we shoud abhor evil, hate sin and apply His blood over the doors of our homes and cover our children with His righteousness. We need to stand for right.
Advice for parents with children approaching dating age. What do you think Israel will do? Are we see Ezekial 37, 38 unfold? What should we do about all the anti-Israel riots? The real way to pray for our unsaved love ones. Squire Parsons song Hellp Mama
IF you believe the Bible and IF you believe God has a will for your life then we are alive right now- "for such a time as this."
When you stop and think of those who have suffered so greatly for their faith around the world---you and I have had it pretty good. Have you ever said, "Safe but for the grace of God there go I." Lets take a realistic look of our situation and realize heaven will be there when we get there!
Are all your family members saved? Have you done His will for your life? Is there any knowledgeable sin between you and the Lord? Are you ready to fave Him?
There are some things God has shared with me about why Iran went after Israel that I believe may answer many of the questions I have been asked. Do not divert your attention from the real attacks on our children and your family.
A praise report on another healing! Is Mr. Trump right on his stand on abortion? The truth and danger of the US abandoning Israel. Do you think Iran will attack Israel and what that means for America.
We are told in Matt.10 that a persons enemies will be of their own household. I have heard from far too many that their family is against their faith or a certain stand they have taken. It was David's own brothers who opposed him and tried to stop him.
How does a boy, believed to be no more than 16, slay a fully armoured 9 ft 6 inch Goliah with nothing but a sling shot? Answer: with the same power of God you have available to you today if you have the faith and trust of David!
Update on two miracles! What David found in the valley of Elah is very similar to what is happening today BUT GOD was there then and He is here now. We need to claim His power and go forward.
This is a question I am sure most have asked. The things destroying our countries and claiming the lives of far too many of our kids are all around us---yet many still ask "what can I do?" We can claim the power of God as David of old and slay the Goliahs destroying our lands!
Gerald is a trucker asking my opinion on the administrations mandate for trucks to be all electic? Several questions regarding couples and where to begin changing their home. Should a person who doesn't believe in baby baptism attend a baby baptism. Do I recite the Lord's prayer as a part of my daily prayers? Challenges and what should someone use as a name for the ministry in their will?
How do you make His Word the final authority in your life and when is the right time to make this correction?
God created three institutions: the home, the church and the government. He instructed the home to rear the children and the church to teach them how to do it. The government was "to be upon His shoulders." when any of these three fail to do as He says: danger sets in!
In the beginning God created male and female and told them to form a family. Marriage is a partnership. Each has a role that has been under Satanic attack for many years.
If all else fails "Read the directions." The Bible has a sure proof plan for manhood, womanhood and the family. We may not be able to save the world BUT you can save yourself and set your family on a course that will please God and have His blessings.
Does it mean if we fail that we have lost our salvation? The fun of being saved! What about the transgender crowd celbrating on Easter? What is your least favorite thing to do? The song "I've just seen Jesus."
Luke 6:46-49 says it very plainly. Today we look at the benifits of making Jesus Lord of your life. His Savorship secures your eternity---His Lordship guides and directs and takes care of you between trusting Him as your Savior and heaven.
Phil. 2:10 and 11 says there is coming a day "when every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess Jesus Christ as Lord"---there are far too many Christians who are saved but He is not their Lord!
There is a big difference between knowing Jesus as your Savior and making Him your Lord. He wants to be Lord of your whole life. Today we will discuss that difference and answer the question many have asked about why many things are happening today.
Satan has leveled his guns and our families---especially our children. He has attacked motherhood and women in general. Men/fathers are under vicious attacks BUT GOD---learn today how to combat this wickedness.
What do you say to someone who agrues that what you believe is just your personal opinion? Would you ever buy an electric car?
How do you maintain your sense of humor with all you deal with and the wickedness surrounding us in this world?
Read John 15:15 What a joy and blessing that Jesus himself says if you are His child you are also His friend. The song we have all probably sang says: "I am a friend of God. He calls me friend!" Today you will hear the story of Joseph Scriven who wrote the great hymn What a friend we have in Jesus. He is a friend who sticketh closer than a brother.
The answer is simply: God! From the very beginning God's hand has been on America. Today we take an indepth look at why all this hated both from without and within our land.
Several have ansked questions about the upcoming election. Put your seatbelt on as we go for what to many will be a rough ride. I will answer the question: "Will God hold us responsible for who we vote for or what if we simply do not vote?
Where are we getting this idea that as a Christian our life will be trouble free? The answer: bad teaching! My Bible says "Man's days ae few and full of trouble." God never promised us an easy time of life. He tells us we will be in a war with the enemy every day of our lives BUT GOd---He also promised "Lo, I am with you always."
Please pray for my friend Jim! Do you hear from alumni often? Should women be pastors? How many people do you believe ae really saved? An answer for the trials of life. The anchor holds!
Today I will tell you two stories of God's wonderful encouragements to me. So many times I have experienced His wonderful grace at just the right time. I have heard hundreds and hundreds of stories of how He has met a great need in so many lives at just the last minute due to the faith of His saints an I am sure you all have your own stories of the same.
We've all been there---dealing with people who criticize or are antagonistic. I'm sure there have been times when you've felt like fighting back, getting even or maybe even sucker punching them! Today I'll share what God says our attitude ought to be!
These are concerning times BUT they are also exactly as He said things would happen AND there is a great way to stay up and encouraged even in difficult times. Because He lives we can face today and tomorrow!
A quick look at Hosea 4:6 will tell you "My people are destroyed fpr a lack of knowledge" it goes on the say that if we forget God's laws "it will be your children who pay the price." Friend, are children are dying and paying the price for our lands forgeting God while many bury their heads in the sand! There is a way to be aware yet not afraid.
What are the most important things to do to get your new Christian life started right? BTW you never outfrow your need for milk so these 5 things ought to be in all our Christian lives! So much made of the State of the Union address but how many are really willing to address the State of the Union? The main question when we get to heaven?
It is vital we all have a good, Godly "council" of people around us BUT we also need to be very aware of our "secondary associations" as well. Like: who is teaching our childre. Their coaches and group leaders. The leaders of our church. The people in our internet groups and especially who our children are communicating with! Who we vote for!
It is vital to your spiritual life and growth that the people in your inner circle are dedicated to your spiritual welfare first and foremost. There is a danger in business and ministry that people around you will tell you what they think you want to hear verses straight Biblical truth!
We all need a "council." A group of people who we listen to and take advice from. A pastor who is most interested in our spiritual life. A doctor who is dedicated to our health and speaks truth. A good Godly lawyer and good friends who are first and foremost interested in our spiritual life. Remember "garbage in---garbage out." You are what you eat as they say.
More than ever it is vital you have a good, Godly "council" of people around you who care first and foremost about your spiritual wellbeing! We see ads all the time about financial consultants and insurance consultants---more important than any thing else you need a circle of friends and ccaregivers who care about your spiritual welfare!
How can I know I am genuinely saved? What is complete forgiveness? How did we ever get in this mess? After we are saved what if we sin?
One, you can't associate with the wrong crowd and turn out right. Two, yu need to be with the right crowd. A group of people who love God and share your convictions. The role of the church---the right church---in your life.
I am hearing from many about problems within their family circles---disagreements with co-workers---even arguments within church groups and Sunday School classes over various issues happening around us. Today we will talk about---who do you want to please? Jesus or the world?
Who or what forms the foundation of your belief system? One of the if not the most important areas of your life is who are you listening to and take your advice from! We all have issues and convictions, or lack there of, that formulate our beliefs. Beware! Remember ever idle word will someday come into judgment.
Never in all these years have I witnessed so much war being waged on God's people over Biblically held beliefs! The attacks from within families as well as institutions be they schools or government agencies is unbelievable. It is more important than ever you know what you believe and stand firm in your beliefs. The ONLY opinion that matters is Jesus!
New podcast coming to Canada! Get your loved one on our prayer list and get some Teenager Someone Does Care brochures into the hands of your childrren and grandchildren. Did you every tangle with the Attorney General of NY like Trump? Why did we eventually close Freedom Village? What is gas station heroin? Why is the social system so messed up?
I Thes.2:9 and 2 Thes. 3:8 Paul tell us we will some day be accountable and "chargeable" for what we have done AND have NOT done with our lives here on earth. I firmly beleive we will answer for why Christian America and Christian Canada slipped through our hands!
Gal. 4:19 Paul said, "My litttle children I travailed for you in birth now I travail again until Christ be formed in you." Travailing---we talked yesterday about Abraham and his undying faith and claiming God's promise. It took 25 years for him to see the fulfilment of that promise but he never gave up! One, are you travailing for your need? Two, how long will you wait on the Lord to see your desire fulfilled?
"I just don't see how He is going to do it!" That's why He is God. Faith is the substance "of things hoped for. The evidence of things unseen!" God's miracles and how He does them is so far beyond our abilities to understand. What we need to adopt is a "I don't care how you do it Lord. I'm just claiming you're going to" attitude!
A look at the lives of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and their faith and supplication to Almighty God!
Stupid statements and actions by people in the sports world! Several questions about this week's study regarding the power of God. What is the biggest mistake parents are making with their children?
I have studied many of the greats of the past and known many of the greats of modern day. I have found one thing they all had in common. They were ordinary people who fully surrendered to an extra ordinary power---available to you and I today. We need people who dare to get hungry for His power and to be used for His glory!
2 Kings 2:1-15 Elisha has seen the power of God in Elijah's life and wants it. He refuses the leave Elijah's side and begs for a "double portion" of God's power. When we realize the availability of God's power and really get hungry for it AND ask for it---things will happen!
I've met many over the years who could tell others what God could do for them BUT just couldn't believe it for themselves! God says His power is in us when we trust Him. He would say, through Paul, in Romans 8:16 and 17 that "if children, then heirs; joint-heir with Jesus Christ." Do you really believe that/ That you are a "joint-heir" with Jesus?
2 Thes. 2:2 tells us to NOT be soon shaken by the things happening! Yet, I am hearing from people everyday that are shaken---worried---and falling apart with fear over the things we see going on around us. Listen and learn the freddom and power we have over the things happening and that we have a God whose only limits are between our two ears.
What were some of the worst parent stories you dealt with? What can be done about the rampant crime situation with kids? When did all this start? The attacks on spanking, traditional moral values, parental rights, motherhood and fatherhood!
When a person )teen) is begging for help and open to listen---it would be an entirely different matter if we didn't hav an answer---BUT WE DO! And, one of these days we will face the ONE who died to give us (and them) life and He is going to ask---"WHY"
Gen. 42 tells the story of Joseph's brothers and the result of their ignoring his pleas for help. No question many teens do not want nor will listen to help BUT what about the ones who do. You will hear the stories of two young men today---begging for help. Read Proverbs 3:27 and 28.
There is coming a day when we will give an account for what has happened to our children.
Prov.1:7 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all knowledge". Many fear the IRS and their threat of audit. Many have been there and can tell you it's no fun! The IRS can only audit the last 5 years---the judgment we will face before the Lord is our whole lifetime and every idle world will be judged! Lets find out how to prepare for this judgment!
The next big event on the Christian calandar is the rapture. Right after that the judgment and it's an open book test and guess which book Jesus will be using!
Every date is a possible mate! Beware! Why I date every program. Tic Tok dangers. New opiod threat. Truth about the boarder crisis. Countries emptying out their jails and mental institutions and sending them here. The truth about the vilence sweeping our land.
Everything in the last days comes down to and focuses on Israel. The woman told of in this chapter is Israel and everything happening today in Israel is foretold. The war started on October 7th is not with Hamas. They are just the puppets of Iran. We will discuss the present situation and how it moves us toward the rapture today.
Who is this woman? Who is her child? Satan comes to the end of his accusing saints but now his real wickedness flows on earth! The horrors on earth are just beginning ---the anti-christ shows his true colors!
Why people are angry at God ? Chapter 12 is often called one of the hardest chapters in Revelation to understand but once you understand it is full of symbolism it becomes clear!
As we finish Revelation chapter 11 we see the rejoicing over the deaths of the two witnesses that God sent from heaven. The rejoicing and even the giving of gifts in celebration of the anti-christ killed these two evangelists. Is it any winder the world is lashing out at any and all who dare preach truth today? We are told to "marvel not!"
Election questions. Can a true Christian favor abortion? The open book test when we get to heaven! Three surprizes when we get to heaven!
How real is God to you? Do you really believe He can do what is discribed in this chapter? Why would He do this? Bring these two evangelists back to life and take them to heaven after laying dead on the street in Jersusalem for three and a half days and have the whole world see it?
Does God know how to protect His people? Oh yes, we'll see that today! He does not operate on our time table. He has a plan!
An event that could not have happened before TV and satalite technology! Rather than playing "Oh ain't it awful---how about rejoicing that we are alive for such a time as this ti see prophecy unfolding right before our eyes!
Are you looking for a fire extengisher or a day to day walk and relationship with an all powerful God who can meet your every need and has evverything under control?
Why are so many Christians trying to hide their faith and live a incognito Christian life? What concerns you the most in this upcoming election?
What should we do now? I believe it is the last days as do many and they are asking "What should we do now?" Many see these as bad times yet we are alive right now "for such a time as this!"
Is the Bible relevant for today? Does it really mean what it says? Are we to really take it for what it says and actually live by it's guidelines? Will we be held accountable someday for ignoring it?
Have you ever asked, "What's it going to take to wake people up?" What is so bad God tells John, "Don't write what you are seeing?"
Why people struggle so much promising to read their Bible more, pray more, attend church more? Why does Satan target our kids? Recent reports about fatherless kids!
When we took God out of our schools we likewise started denying the reality of hell. Here we see the "bottomless pit"---the smoke and stench of hell and the horrible reality that many are there already and millions more headed there. Today is the day of salvation and we MUST be about the father's business while there is still time!
At the end of Chapter 8 the angel tells us: "Woe, woe, woe" basically you haven't seen anything yet---the worst is yet to come! Today we see the beginning of the worst! Satan himself opens the bottomless pit and hell comes out!
What a wonderful reason to be thankful you are in heaven and not going through the horrors falling upon the earth! 1/3 of the earth is destroyed. 1/3 of all mankind dies! Thank God we who know Him are with Him in heaven and this is a great reason to pray for and witness to all those around us before it is too late.
Why is there silence for a half hour in heaven? The horrors and I mean real horrors are about to begin! What we have seen up till now is nothing compared to what is coming. One third of the world destroyed by fire! Nuclear war?Very possible---thank God we won't be here for it but all the more reason to strive to reach our unsaved loved ones!
God has a "sealing" process for these 144,000 but He likewise has a "sealing" process of you and I! Learn who these 144,000 really are and those we see around the throne in chapter 7.
As we begin Revelation Chapter 7 I share why I believe the Bible is true and why God must be true to His Word. It is also amazing that He has held off His wrath to this point but I firmly believe this day is coming and coming soon!
The horrors have just began and already the rich and famous, the Kings of the earth, the great leaders of the world are hiding under the rocks begging the mountains to fall on them. Pray earnestsly that no one you love or could have reached for Jesus will go through this!
What is your New Years resolution? A New Years resolution all of us should make! Do you think 2024 will be the year Jesus returns? What should we all do as we face the New Year? The song The Anchor Holds!
Today we will see famine as God pours our His judgement. A measure of wheat (about a quart) will cost a days wages and one-fourth of the world will die! A great reason to reach our loved ones now!
The horrors are beginning. This should drive all of us to be closer to Him and to strive with our whole might to keep anyone we know and love from experiencing these horrors. These things have to happen that the prophecies will be fulfilled!
How much worse do you think it is going to get before Jesus comes? What is your opinion on Biden's age? Do you still travel and preach? What do you do in your local church? When are you going to play The Bethlehem Story again? What or who do you feel is our biggest threat?
The lamb who was slain is standing before the 24 elders in heaven. He is being handed "the book" by God Himself and He is in charge of everything.
One of the most beautiful chapters in the Bible. God hands Jesus everything. Your life and mine are in His hands. He stands between God and you and your soul is secure now in the hands of Jesus.
What will be the first things we see when we get to heaven? Who are these 24 elders and what do they represent? Why do they have eyes front and back? What is the meaning of the crystal sea? Why did the prophet Joel say the "day of the Lord is darkness it's not light?"
As of today there is an open door to heaven. Salvation by grace through faith. But one day soon that door will close. The light of the saints will be gone and the tribulation will start. We must win them now!
Everything happening today is exactly what the Bible says and it also says we can do something about it. BUT we MUST understand Satan's agenda and counter his attacks with the things of God. WE can control what we allow in our homes and into the lives of our children!
The wickedness attacking our children is not happening by accident---it is a part of Satan's agenda!
We're going to take a short break from our Revelation study and share a message I preached back when I was doing this study at Freedom Village. I beleive it directly ties in with our modern day and the plight of our children.
A beautiful picture of the Rapture! Explaination of the "open door" and how the rainbow has been hijacked. who are the four and twenty elders and we see the beginning of the tribulation.
Is the Rapture mentioned in the Bible? Why I believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. Why do the "dead in Christ" rise first? Do we come back with Christ?
The world is a mess. Evil is everywhere and even the "imaginations" of men are wicked!
Sound familiar? "But Noah found grace in the sight of the Lord." God tells him to build an ark---they estimate it took 75 years. No Lowes or Home Depot---enough gopher wood to build a boat 515 ft long, 51 feet high and 85 feet wide---its never rained, not a cloud in the sky, mockers everywhere and now he is told to go get two of every living creature???? Seriously??? Would you be that obedient for verse 22 of Gen. 6 says he did what he was told without question!
Gen. 6 tells us the world was so wicked God was going to totally destroy it. The thoughts of man were wicked continually---BUT---"Noah found grace in the sight of the Lord" and you know "the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey use to say. Is our world wicked---sure BUT GOD! And you and I can have His grace today just like Noah did.
Is life tough? Sure---but some make it much tougher than it has to be AND if you know Christ we are told of all His benefits and promises and that the VICTORY is already ours! Stir up the gift that is in you---you are not walking in this life alone and keep looking up---this world is not our home---someday, sometime He's coming and we're going home!
There is an interesting story in Mark 5 where Jesus kicks the demons out of the man who lived in the tombs. The demons were sent into 2000 swine and they ran of a cliff and died in the sea. When the towns people realized their source of income was gone they asked Jesus to leave. He left and later their town was sestroyed. Sound familiar? Listen to this special remembrance of 9/11/01
What do all the LGBT and following letters stand for? Why aren't the places like Freedom Village in every state? Why don't you retaliate against those attacking you? What do you feel about homeschooling? What is the truth about trans affirming assistance?
This young lady, now mother of four, is still serving God. Her testimony has touched the lives of countless thousands and I guarantee you it will touch yours! Have a tissue handy!
Today you will hear from Miguel. This story is one of horrible beginnings and great victories! If you have ever wondered "Is God able" this testimomy proves He is. No matter what the circumstance remember---BUT GOD!
Today this lady is the mother of four. A great mom and wonderful wife because of Jesus and because people like you cared and made it possible for her to find the ONE and ONLY answer for her life. You will be blessed!
In 2006 we did a special CD to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Freedom Village with 4 powerful stories and the song each one of the young people had made their testimony song. Today you will hear testimony one and Jose's trademark song "I'm a miracle Lord".
Why I won't join the parade of people makking an issue of Joe Biden's age! Its not his age or gaffes that bother me its his policies, lies, corrupt, etc. Why isn't the U.S. or Canada mentioned in the book of Revelation? If Trump isn't the nominee who do you favor? Info about hurricane Idelia! Don't forget Maui.
Lets take a look at the life of the Apostle Paul and how he never got over the fact that Jesus could save someone like him. The songwriter said, "I stand amazed in the precense of Jesus the Nazarine how He could save a sinner like me unclean." Part of stepping up our Christian character is never getting over the fact He loved us all the way to the cross and that He loves us, forgives us and can save us!
The Apostle Paul likens our spiritual journey ofter to a sporting event, a race if you will. He challenges us to "grow" and press forward reaching new heights. He also says that he forgot those things which were behib=nd. Partner, if Paul, as wicked as he once was could forget his past---you can too! God has great things for us if we just "reach" for them.
You are either going forward in your Christian life or backwards but you are never standing still. Today is either the best day in your spiritual journey are you've gone backwards! We are going to explore how to move forward in your Christian walk no matter how long you have known Christ.
A young preacher asks: "To what do you credit your longevity in the ministry?" A discussion on the will of God and how God gives us an "open book test" about our final judgment. Answers to questions about the election. How important is giving as it pertains to the God's plan for our life?
The average Christian today has too much Christianity in them to really enjoy the world and too much worldliness in them to really enjoy Christianity. In church they are real spiritual and when surrounded with worldliness they try and blend in witht he crowd. What do we believe is going to happen if "every idle word" will come into judgment?
Talking over the last couple days about what does real Christianity look like---today we will discuss what I believe to be THE most important part of a real Christians life and that is that they have their own personal relationship with Christ and that they "row their own ship!"
Matthew 22:37-40 What does it mean to love Him "with all your heart?" AND---the second commandment has two parts! Loving yourself and loving others. If we all would seriously accept this commandment and simple do it---what a wonderful world this would be! Remember the song, "Let there be peace on eart and let it begin with me?"
Sadly many who have a religion really do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Religions vary greatly but there is only one way to have a personal relationship with Him and that is how one goes to heaven when this life is over.
The truth about the all out attack on masculinity! When did the transgeender movement start? The plan for the Boys without Dads and Girls without Moms program and what it could mean for you some day when you get to heaven.
We need to rememmber Satan is the father of lies, the master of deceiption and the author of error and falsehood. It has always amazed me how easily people are deceived with the Word of God so redily available. Learn today of three more gross errors.
I have heard many over these yesrs proclaim that they love their spouse, their family "more than anyone else." Today we will explore why you need to love Jesus MORE! You are never safely married to anyone unless they love Him more than you!
Once saved always saved? Both truth and error---a discussion of just where is your heart! Is it after God or the world?
Satan's main trick today is to take what God says and perfert it and cause God's people to error thinking they are hearing something He has not said. Beware my friend we are all susceptable to this error and in many cases Christian are being duped into believing Satan's biggest lie by siverting truth when God's truth works all the time.
What is your opinion about the Biden crime family as they call it? Who should I vote for and do you think our elections are rigged? Where do the calls from kids come from? What if I keep falling down trying to live for Jesus?
I firmly believe if you read His Word God's love for children stands out! I also believe much of the ills raveging our countries is because of how we are sinning aainst the child. Rueben in Gen. 42:22 tells his brothers that he had warned them about sinning against the child and then he sayd=s, "also his blood is required!" Listen today as we explore the consequences of sinning against the child.
The attacks on God's people are legion but in truth they always have we just are seeing more than we have ever experienced BUT contrary to what many may say YOU still have control over your life. Listen as we explore the various ways you can control your life and home!
We talk about the coming of the Lord. We might even acknowledge that there is a judgment coming whether we die or are raptured yet in spite of His warnings we ignore that cammands to share His salvation and though people, especially young people are dying all around us and He promises great rewards for at least telling them---we don't---why?
It would be one thing if there were no anwser for the plight our children are facing! BUT THERE IS! This is our time and these are our children. We each have been given certain talents by God and commanded that we use them for His honor and glory. The world is full of prodicals and children with no fathers. The Bible is very plain: Jmes 1:27 tells us "Pure religion and undefiled is this, take care of the widows and fatherless."
A dear lady says, "I feel so alone"---one of many such emails but the truth is you are never alone. Are there as many saved people as many think? ANd, are many of the saved standing---NO! We deleve into this subject in detail PLUS I now know exactly why God had us move to Mississippi---a wonderful door He has opened for reaching thousands of children with no fathers and no mothers in the home and YOU can have a great part in this new avenue to spread the word!
The scriptures tells us we are to be Christlike! What was Christ like? How about His manhood! How did He deal with people! How did He manage His disappointments! Today we will study the man Jesus Christ.
Jesus was a man of character. Many never look at that aspect of. His life yet so much of the Word concentrates on our following His example!
In 50 years of preaching---47 as a active Pastor I have tried to teach my people (and you) the power of prayer, trusting God, the joy and blessings of giving and yes serving God. Paul would say to the people in Phil.2 to "worl out their own salvation!" Work to be saved---oh no but work to grow in their christian experience---today we will talk about the work it takes to grow as a child og God.
Now more than ever it is vital we develope a "kingdom priority!" We need a passion for the mission! One day soon our chance to live for Him and serve Him will be over and we will stand before Him and give an accountant. The world may be a mess BUT GOD! We have the answer for broken lives and the lives of our loved ones! Jesus!
A tribute to Nina---92 today! Why the attack on masculinity? Why more churches no longer give an invitation for people to get saved? Baptism? What the framers had in mind regarding state rights? Why is Oregon banning all Christian symbols in 4-H events?
Oft times we find it easy to trust God for the little things but He is just as powerful over the big things. I have often said, "We don't believe in a real enough devil nor a big enough God." My friend, He is able: Eph 3:20 to take care of whatever He has allowed to come your way!
Romans 8:28 is well known to many: "All things work together for good to them who LOVE GOD and are the CALLED according to His purpose!" What a promise and the way you and I can live, regardless of the circumstances around us, in a "no fear" zone!
Self control doesn't only mean not losing your temper---it's controlling how you think about God, putting His hedge about you to keep Satan away---it means a whole lot of things we oft times firget!
I have heard from numerous people about how they are stressed! One lady reported she was so stressed she could not enjpy her Christian life. Today I will share how you can conquer fear and take total control over your attitude!
A serious private memo I received Tuesday! What is the biggest thing you have noticed moving to Mississippi? What do yo think about the movie Sound of Freedom? What do you think about Jason Aldean's song? What can we do about all the unkindness in this world? Story of a little girl who found Jesus yesterday? Truth about the 2 tier justice system!
Train yourself to say, "There but for the grace of God go I" When you see someone in a wheel chair, or a blind person or someone who is crippled! "This is the day the Lord has made; I will be glad and rejoice in it." Ps. 118:24
Psalm 118:6 says He walks by our side! Psalm 147: 3 says He binds up the brokenhearted and heals the wounded! What a joy and comfort to know nothing is beyond His capabilities and nothing can harm us without first going through His heavenly sifter!
Have you counted your blessings lately? It's easy to grumble and complain but stop and think about the blind, the deaf, the crippels, the hungry and persecuted around the world. IF that is no you---you have so much to be thankful for AND when it is all said and done---heaven awaits all who know Jesus!
Psalm 118 is great reading. We are oft times good at praying for the big things yet He says "Be careful for nothing but it all things" we all can look at times in our lives when we just didn't understand what was happening but later it would all be clear and He was working all the time. Friend, He is always working things for our good and for that we need to always be thankful!
How should being a Christian change the way you look at things? Questions about Hunter Biden? Ashley Biden? Looking at people's children? What criteria will God use at the judgment? Do you feel we are under the judgment of God right now? Will it get worse? How can I getout of the pit I am in?
There will always be opposition and trails and testings in many forms when God gives us a plan and we decide to implement it! There will be times you cry out---"Where are you God?" Know this---He is always there and He will never forsake you and IF you stay faithful throughout the whole process you WILL see the Victory and you WILL see the rewards of faithfulness!
1 Peter 4 "Think it not strange" yet we do! Inspite of Him telling us trials and tribulation would come if we live for Him---we do! Yet we have a whole book for promises---story after story of those who have gone on before us who have faced the "wiles of the devil" we somehow forget His warnings AND His promises "I'll never forsake you."
It is part of God's plan that we grow by trials. The songwriter wrote: "If I'd never had a problem I'd have never known God could solve them." God was with Daniel in the lions den but the lions den was real. He was with the three hebrew children in the fiery furnance but the furnace was real. And He is with you in your trial.
Being a child of God automatically brings trials. Deciding to serve Him and stand for Him bring even more. Taking a stand against the evils of the day will bring yet even more. This is a jouirney of trials and endurance and those who endure win! Paul said, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course. I have kept the faith."
How to deal with lonliness and lack of friendship? How do you know when you are making the right decision? Especially when it comes to relationships and marriage! What version of the Bible do you favor? The sad effect the "social media" has on lonley people!
We've been talking aabout living positively in a negative world. Joy, peace, love, etc. is not available through the world although it will tell you all the ways you can have them. They are fruits of the spirit and available to all ONLY through the power of His spirit!
The world may be in a mess but Jesus isn't. Read Phil. 4:8 and 9. Today we will talk about how to guard your mind, your heart, your attitude and all the other things Paul challenged the church to do. We must live in this world until He takes us home but the world doesn't have to live in us!
Do you believe the Bible? How much of it do you believe? If you say "yea" I believe it all then I've got great news for you today and I share it in this message!
How important is it we stand for Christ now? How important is baptism in this day and age? Answers to questions on why we are moving to Mississippi! Questions about the last days.
Do not miss this series over the next few days! Find out how the end of the book turns out!
Who is your favorite President of all time? What do you feel is THE most dangerous thing attacking our children today? To what do you atribute the attack on the family and parental rights today? Is revival possible? Why won't more ministries and/or preachers speak up about the wickedness attacking children today?
We have a wonderful, gracious, great and totally able God who is our "father" yet so many times we fail to realize just how wonderful and loving He is. Who has He ever failed? What promise has He ever failed to keep? What did He say would happen that either has not happened or isn't happening today? When we get to heaven and find out all we could have had AND all He kept from happening to us!
God is always there! He always loves us no matter what! He is more than able! And He always does things for us not to us! When we get to heaven and find out all He had for us IF we only had trusted Him!
Next time it is a clear night---look up at the stars are realize your father made those stars, hung them in place and they never run into eCH OTHER! AND WE WONDER IF HE CAN HANDLE OUR SITUATIONS. THE SONG SAYS, "HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS..." AND MY FRIEND HE DOES! He is a good father and He loves us!
We serve a great and good God and father! He is not a good father because He does good things for us---He does good things because He is a great father! I firmly believe when we get to heaven one day and find out all that we missed that He wanted for us while on earth we will be shocked!
God knows exactly where you are and what you are going through! If He has got you to first base He will get you to second, third and home! He is more than able! Why does God just make us behave and love Him? What does the indictment of Daniel Penny show anyone who may be tempted to get involved when they see a wrong being done? What does not charging teens or giving them a slap on the wrist tell our teens today? How do I put you in my will? How does God hold us accountable for all He has entrusted into our care?
Not surew about you but "waiting" is not vwery high on my list of things to do---unless it's waiting om the Lord! What else are you going to do---quit? Take matters into your own hands? I've seen it all in 50 years of serving Him BUT I'v also seen His miracles happen "in His good time." Likewise I've watched what has happened to those who gave up, or would trust enough to stand and took the cowards way out!
Throughout the Word of God from beginning to end He tells us we will be in for a battle---warfare---if we are to put Him first and serve Him faithfully. Paul would tell Timothy to "be a good soldier." Luke 14:26-33 tells us the costs of being a disciple of Christ---BUT---though the battle may rage He promises to be with us every step if the way. Read Psalm 34!
I could list hundreds and hundreds of benifits and wonderful promises of knowing Jesus BUT one thing I couldn't list is you'll never have a trail or tribulation come your way for that would contradict everything the Word tells us. What I can tell you, from His Word, and 50 years of serving Him---He will always be in time, on time, every time when you call on Him. He's a friend that sticketh closer than a brother!
Being in the will of God and being a faithful disciple is the most blessed place you can ever be BUT it is not without it's attacks from the enemy and it's challenges!
"I have always heard that the safest place to be is squarely in the will of God"---is this true? "Do you think Hunter Biden will ever be charged before a conservative gets elected?" "Did you hear about the children's choir singing he national anthem in the Capital and the Capital Police stopping them?" "Do all gay people embrace the stupidity of the radical gay people?" "Do you see more preachers will ing stand due to the wickedness all around us?"
Abraham, the "father of faith", hoped against hope. In other words he didn't look at the impossibility of his situation---a one hindred year old man fathering a baby nor Sarah being ninety having a baby BUT he looked only and trusted only in the fact that God had promised!
Matthew 21:21 tells us if we ask in faith believing and "doubt not" we shall have what we ask for. I've often said "an ounce of doubt and you're out!" BUT---easier said than done right? We are have a nature that gives something to God and then worry creeps in, doubt creeps in and we oft times let Satan rob us of what God wants to do. Learn today how Abraham the "father of faith" handled God's promise of a son!
Two great take aways from the Abraham/Sarah story that have revolutionized my faith life and I hope may do the same for you!
So often if God does not answer our prayers quickly we quit or lose faith. Abraham waited 25 years for God to fulfill His promise to give him a son---would you have waited that long? God's promises are sure but it is totally up to Him the "when" part. Our job is to trust, obey and keep on keeping on until His promise if a reality!
Regarding your move don't you believe God could give you the extra money to stay where you are at? What is the truth about Chick-fil-A? How should we react to the whole gay agenda and transgender issue? What is the difference between what the Dodgers, Target, Bud Light and North Face are doing? Are we becoming the Sodom and Gomorah of America? Why don't more preachers Tell it like it is?
There is no question the world is a mess BUT GOD is able and wants to use you and I---just as He has used so many others down through history. These are hard times for us but God has been here before and is just waiting for us to stand and call on Him and reach children and adults for Him!
Obedience brings blessing! Disobedience brings consequences! So many are appauled by the total lack of respect many , especially our kids, have for the law. They live in a world where there seem to be no consequences for breaking the law and often times we hear of someone arrested over 40 times yet out on the street. I wonder if Satan isn't saying "there are no consequencs for your actions!" Yet according to the Word there are!
60% of teens surveyed recently had no idea the true meaning of Memorial Day. What an opportunity to open a dialog about the true emaning of this day and the wonderful Christian heritage of our lands. In fact, Memorial shouldn't be a day it should be a lifestyle of thanksgiving. It also affords us the opportunity to send that email, text, written note or call to a family who has lost a loved one fighting for our freedoms! What would it take? 5 minutes?
What do you recommend I do with all this garbage going on with Target? Who will you vote for between Trump and DeSantes? What do you know about the politics of Mississippi? Do you think China is a threat? Why do you feel all this stuff is happening about transgenderism? What should we as parents do to protect our children from all of Satan's attacks?
The love of God is constant and never changing. Like a wonderful father he loves us even when we disppoint Him! His love never changes. He cares for us and is always working for our good. We all fail Him but He never will fail us.
The enemy hates you and all who dare let their light shine for Jesus! You not only need to be "bullet proof" to his attacks but likewise to the things people may say or do against you. Lastly, you need to be "bullet proof" to the enemy's attempts to keep you from doing God's will for your life!
We must never forget Satan is the second most powerful force---God/Jesus are greater! Far too many battles are not fought in the ONLY strength we have---Him. You can not beat the enemy in your own strength BUT GOD can! The world is wicked yes...BUT GOD! Our hope is to be in the Lord and He is as able today as He has ever been.
The story you will hear today is fabulous! Do you believe the God who protected Daniel in the Lion's den or the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace can do that kind of miracle today? How big is your God really?
Parents beware! New laws proposed in Mass. and Conn. will make it illegal for parents not to agree to your child's LGBTQ desires and can result in you being deemed an "unfit" parent if you reject their desires. Canada: it's already law there---Bill89! What do you see Pastor as the most dangerous thing facing our children? Where is all this violence coming from? Have you heard they are now lacing marijuana with fentanyl? Information about moving!
As life moves along I guarantee you many can recall times you never thought the sun would ever shine again. But it did and God brought you through that trial. We develope a "Been there before and He's given me the Victory" attitude. Good news my friend! He will do it again and one of these days---we will understand it all!
Life is tough and full of disappointments, trails, reversals and heartaches BUT GOD is there always. Today we will talk about deciding never to quit AND having fun! Filling your life and your family with fun stuff. Good, clean, Godly fun that takes the edge off the tough times.
Though life is full of disappointments, trials, reversals, loss of loved ones---God's Word is still true---greater is He still that is in you---you haven't "lost" a loved one if they died in Christ, they just went on ahead of you and you'll have all of eternity together. BUT---you have to "decide" not to quit or play "Oh ain't it awful."
Life is full of disappointments. You can either beat them, through Christ, or let them beat you! How you deal with the heataches of life will impact your children more than even what you say. The days of "do as I say" matter not compared to "do as I do." Show your children Jesus!
Amy says she can't believe how all this stuff about homosexuality and trans genderism HAS SNUCK up on us! Truth is: it hasn't"snuck up" on us! More important than ever that parents pay strict attention to who is around your children and what they are teaching and advocating to your children! Why don't more preachers "Tell it like it is" and how did we get in this mess. The truth about the liberal media.
Stop letting Satan kick you around---you are the child of a King. Claim your rightful position and take authority over him! He is already defeated and you are MORE than a conqueror. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world!
The accuser of the saints in roving seeking whom he can devour BUT greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. He can't beat you UNLESS you let him!
Many Christians are unaware of just how Satan and his forces work and especially how he/they are working today. Greater is He who is inus that he that is in the world but we need to know how to use that power or he will win!
What do you mean when you say things are probably going to get worse? The truth about where all this left wing lunacy is coming from? What does the Bible say about suicide? What is your take on Tucker Carlson and Fox news? Do you still watch Fox? Update on law suits!
The enemy counts on people who refuse to heed the warnings! We ignore the "check engine soon" light on the dash to our peril. Pain is a warning sign that something is wrong. God gives us clear warning sign throughout His Word BUT GOD also tells us how to avoid the pitfalls and consequences of sin and to be blessed!
Jeremiah wept and later Jesus himself wept over Jerusalem because they both knew what was going to happen didn't have to happen! There was and is a God who loves us and is able to do anything we need Him to do! 2 Chronicles 20:15 tells us the battle is not ours but the Lord's. Your trial is not yours to bear. He loves you and wants to give you a victory! The songwriter said, "Oh what needless pain we bear..."
Throughout the Word of God His care and love of children is very clear. As a nation turns to wickedness and that wickedness destroys the lives of children He promises blessings to those who love and care for those children. This is our time---these are our children and one day He will demand an accounting of---what did you do for the least of these!
When was the last time you wept over the crisis our children are facing? It is not enough to say "Oh that's terrible." God tells us to weep and TO DO! We are a generation of hearers but far to few doers! Our children and society in genral, are dying before our eyes AND going to a Godless eternity while you and I know there IS an answer and His name is Jesus.
Why some Christians do not view gossip as abomination? Read Proverbs 6:16-19. How did Freedom Village South Korea come to be? A real miracle story. We are accountable for everything God has entrusted into our care! Put this ministry in your will NOT Freedom Village---why?
Today I will share what the Lord has been telling me about what will be coming next. Though the times are certainly difficult I firmly believe we will see more trials in the days to come! BUT GOD---is faithful to the faithful and if we will only get in His storm shelter we will be ok and then THAT DAY will come!
The three miracle stories I share today have proven to me along with many other miracles that God will always keep His promises and He will see you through even the tough---only He can do it---times!
Josh 1 tells us a wonderful story and establishes the fact that God keeps His promises! He has never failed to keep one promise and your need will not be the first. These are tough times BUT GOD and His Word are true and His promises sure!
Somewhere there is someone YOU are suppose to be a witness to! You and I are alive today---for such a time as this! God makes no mistakes and the fact we are alive right now, at this time is not His first. These children are only growing up in the world we have provided them!
Does God care if someone prays while doing their housework? How do you explain the sudden rise in attacks against the family? What is happening with the whole gender modification stuff? Does the judgment of the wicked happen right after they die?
The question I am often asked is, "How can you stay so confident in this world of wickedness?" When everything is going the way WE want it to go---we're happy BUT we are not in control---HE is and if things are going according to HIS plan we must find our faith in Him!
Interesting how often things that we just know "in the world" don't translate to our spiritual lives. If you cut a branch from a tree or cut a flower and just leave it one the ground---they die! If you unplug a lamp you don't have to wonder why it won't light YET if you don't stay plugged in to His Word we wonder why things don't work???
More than even food it is important you stay connected to the vine. Your source of power, joy and blessings is the vine. Without Him---you can do nothing! John 15:5 His Word is your source of life and power! Satan will do everything he can to keep you from the Word of God!
John 15 tells us that if we stay connected to the vine He will bless, answer our prayers and as long as we stay connected we will be fine! Nowhere are we told, "When things get this bad then that will not work." Job said, "Though He slay me YET will I trust Him." Stay connected!
What advice would you give a young pastor just starting out? Do you believe in once saved always saved? How do you go about talking to a teenager about Jesus? Where are churches making their mistake? How does someone go about putting the ministry in their will?
2 Cor.4:8-10 Paul would declare "we are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed." These are perplexing times and filled with many trials---YET He is still on the throne and He said He would NEVER forsake us! These are the times He said would come---have faith my friend! We already have the VICTORY!
Most would say Jesus---of course! Next our loved ones---but how about those who have influenced your journey the most in Christ? the Bible tells us in Mark 10:31 that the "first shall be last and the last first"---I made a list the other day of who I want to meet!
It's not how big an impact you made but rather did you do what God had for you to do? His will for your life! Each of us pass by numerous opportunities every day to touch someones life---to make a difference!
We can all be kind, courteous, let our light shine and seize the opportunities God opens before us to witness! Romans 12 tells us we all have different callings. Not all are called to be preachers or win many to Jesus but we all are called to be epistles read of all men and ambassadors for Christ. We all are called to be encouragers!
The truth about Good Friday. Did Pilate know who Jesus was? What role did the Chief Priest plan in the releasing of Barabas? Why did the powers that were in charge rush to crucify Jesus? What's the truth about the cat of nine tails? What really was the shape of the cross?
The apostle Paul said, "I have fought a good fight. I have kept the faith. I have finished my course." THAT my friend we can all do! Not only will we hear "well done" from Jesus but we can say to these witnesses---"I did the best I could!"
There is coming a day when the Bible says "the secrets of all hearts will be made known!" An examination, if you will, of all we have done and could have done for Him---and we will meet these witnesses who have died for their faith! A day that many will find disturbing at best.
We all love to talk about seeing our loved ones in heaven BUT we also will see Jesus and the "great cloud of witnesses" who have died over the ages for their faith and trust in Christ. People who suffered cruel deaths rather than sell out their faith! What will will say to them?
Why are some fighting so hard to keep the writings of this killer in Nashville from being released? What happens when a Christian dies? Why does it say "the dead in Christ rise first" are we in the grave till He returns? What separates us from other religions? The resurrection! How are the trans and LGBTQ groups attacking you?
This is spiritual warfare of the highest level! Satan hates the core unit of God's creation---the family! The parent who really loves their child is most concerned with where they will spend eternity. The world undermines parental authority at every turn BUT GOD!
A nation is in morning again as another senseless shooting claims the lives of the innocent. This time by a girl claiming to be trans and it yet to be known if this was a targeted hate crime. Though the liberals are once again claiming it is all because of guns yet never really facing the real problem---our nations has let go off the hand of God and turned our backs on His Word and His moral values. Pray for our children! They are being force fed hate!
So often we look at the wickedness surrounding us as "just happening" when in fact it is really spiritual warfare! Yet we have a power available to us to fight this warfare that we do not engage. Satan is still the second most powerful. We have the number one power!
Satan is not omnipresent but he has legions of imps and demons everywhere and we as children of God need to learn how to identify them and realize "greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world." We have the power to defeat him but most are being attacked unaware! This is a straight-forward teaching that can help you defeat your enemy.
The truth about gender modification. Famous scientist Richard Dawkins (atheist) says there are only two sexes! Where do these wacko teachers come from? Pay attention to the truth about colleges and universities. Churches need to give the best to the littlists! Give to places reaching children!
Things, people, money? They will all fail you at one time or another as you journey through life but their is ONE who will never fail you---never abandon you and will stick with you closer than a brother. He also promises to empower you and through HIM you can do all things!
David Ring is living proof "you can" if you want to bad enough! As Paul said, "he has learned" what it takes to be a happy camper---and you can too!
If your "why" is big enough and you really want to ---God will supply His power and you can.
I am asked this question quite often and especially of late with all the wickedness surrounding us! I will let Evangelist David Ring answer this very important question. David has CP yet doesn't let that stop him from enjoying all the precious promises of God!
If you had told me 49 years ago about what our children would be facing today I would not have believed it. I knew it was going to get bad but never did I imagine the horrors facing our children today. You need to be very aware of the dangers facing our children.
What has happened to good ole fashion caring and dedication to customer service? What should someone do about the old sin nature? Does it go away when someone trusts Christ? What is happening to our younger children and what can a parent do about all the filth our children are facing? Why won't more preachers preach straight truth?
Today I am going to share what the Spirit of God has been telling me about just how we have gotten to where we are and how this all came to be. Beware! God is not mocked!
Matt.7:21 tells us not all who say they are saved are saved. I've met many who say they completely trust Christ only to watch them fall totally apart when things got tough! How reallyl is the coming of Christ to you? How real eternity and heaven and hell? Are you ready to meet the Master? Is He really Lord of your life and are you doing His will?
If you are a child of God today and not concerned over the things happening and the return of Jesus something is wrong. 2 Tim 1:7 says "God has not given us the spirit of fear..." BUT we are to have a "sound mind" a "resolved mind" ---resolved to stand for right!
Josuha 1:9 tells us He is always with us BUT even though we are not to fear we ARE to be aware and in these times very concerned. He is coming soon and we must be concerned about the lost! The story I share today is true and is how His spirit deals with me!
What is your favorite chapter in the Bible? You mentioned wills recently. What entity should I put in my will? What troubles you the most that is going on today? A discussion of how Satan is working against God in these days and how he is attacking ministries and churches!
Many talk about Jesus coming---the "last days" yet I wonder just how excited are you about your Christian life? Heaven, forgiveness of sins, peace with God and all His benefits? We get excited over a TV show or some special event but the greatest event is on its way!
Many have said they are distraught over the things that are happening in the world today. Yet, we have a blessed hope if we know Jesus that one day and I think sooner rather than later---we shall see Jesus! And our loved ones who have gone on before us! Keep looking up and take courage my friend---it's about to happen!
From the very beginning of this ministry I promised God to Tell it like it is---today we are going to talk about what I feel God has told me is coming! Yesterday we talked about the open mocking of God---today I will share where I truly believe this is heading and what I see happening before Jesus comes back and how soon I really believe that He's coming!
Something is happening today we have not experienced in our lifetime. It's not denying Jesus or arguing there is no God---it's the open mocking of God and His Son. Mocking---disgracing especially to our children THE one and only hope for their lives. Telling kids NOT to listen to parents---hiding the transformation of their genders---mocking God!
Why in most churches is the Sunday night crowd and Wednesday night crowd a fraction of those there on Sunday morning? What is the difference between Saviorship and Lordship of Jesus? More about the Boys without Dads program and the Girls without Moms program!
1 Peter 5:7 tells us to "cast all our care upon Him; for He Carter for you" That is a commandment! An order if you will because first of all He says too and secondly, because He can fix them when you can't. He loves you and He wants to carry your burdens!
One of Satan's most often tricks is to get you to drag the sins of your past with you everywhere you go. Partner, those sins---the hurts and pain of your past are over, forgiven and removed from the memory of God---stop dragging them behind you! Let them go! God has a great life for all of us and only when we allow Satan to pull us down with our past can it stop us!
The battle is for your mind! Satan does not want you to know that God loves you---His promises are true---He is in control and that He is still in the miracle business today! The enemy attacks your mind with wickedness, depression and negativity especially throwing your past up and trying to get you to believe your todays are hopeless. The battle is for your mind!
Is God able to meet your needs? Do you believe He wants to bless you and do a miracle for you? How strong is your trust in Him? He says no one jot nor title will pass till all be fulfilled! It is time people who say they believe---really believe and claim what He promises to do!
A true story resulting in a miracle! The truth about revivals and prayer! The Asbury College chapel revival and the miracle surrounding Damar Hail and the power of prayer!
Do you believe in a God of miracles? When you pray are you expecting a miracle? Are you letting others steal your miracles? Are you standing in the way of your miracle? God wants to do a miracle in your life IF you will only let Him and trust Him until you see that miracle!
Do you believe God could part the Red Sea today? Quite honestly I believe the reason we are not seeing more real miracles today is not enough Christians believe in a God of real miracles! They say they believe but do they really? Is He really the same yesterday, today and forever? Time to do a personal audit of all of our faith?
Have you ever felt overwhelmed? Ever said, "I just can't take it anymore?" Friend, in truth, we've all been there and the challenges of today most of us have never faced. These are tough days---satan obviously knows his time is short BUT---God is still in control AND He will never put more on you than He will put in you to bear it up! Stir up your faith!
MANY ARE FACING CHALLENGES THEY HAVE NEVER FACED BEFORE. FAITH IS BEING PUT TO THE TEST. HOW STRONG IS YOUR FAITH AND IS IT UP TO THE CHALLENGE? THE STORY IN TODAY'S PROGRAM HAS ENCOURAGED ME GREATLY OVER THE YEARS!
When do you think Jesus is coming back and do you still think it will be during your lifetime? How many people that claim to be born again do you really believe are actually saved? What should a Christian be doing right now to prepare for His coming? What is the truth behind the un-Godly control of the child protective services? I s it widespread across America?
If we say we are a believer then we must believe! There are so many in the world today who have NO HOPE---you and I have that hope and it is our job to let that hope shine---to share it with a lost and dying world and to believe! His promises are sure---His love proven and He is coming again---in the meantime He is still doing miracles and His promises are sure!
Believing the Word of God is one thing BUT will you actually dare to go and let your light shine? Are you a nevertheless person? James tells us faith without works is dead. When you look at all the past greats both in the Bible and since that we admire they all have one thing in common---they went---they did it---they dared to put their faith into action and go!
1 Peter 4:12 tells us to "think it not strange concerning the fiery trials which is to try you..." Though many of the issues we might be facing today are "strange" to us because we haven't experienced them before---they are NOT strange to the rest of the world who have faced horrible persecution for their faith of decades! Just think of the disciples. Think of Jesus!
The world may be in a mess but you and I have THE one and only answer BUT so many are willing to just keep it to themselves. One day He is coming to take us home and the light and hope of this world will be gone. Is there someone you need to witness to? Has God placed people in your path? How about all your loved ones? This world needs to see light while there is still light to show!
Why do so many new Christians get picked off by Satan and his forces? How do I respond when a person says they don't believe the Bible? Why I think the whole Covid 19 pandemic was aimed at the church and God's people? When we stand before Christ will it be what we have done or what we could have done that will count?
Over the last three days I have shared the life story of David Ring. He related that since a child people had mocked him, picked on him, belittled him because of his condition. Have you ever been mocked, lied about---wanted to retaliate? Matt. 5:44 says we are to love our enemies, do good to those who persecute us, etc---thus the commandment almost no one believes! or puts into practice!
I am sure we've all heard about the man complaining because he had no shoes until he met a man with no feet. David Ring has Cerebral palsy but that didn't stop him and he surrendered to God's call and has preached to tens of thousands over the years and in conclusion today he challenges all of us to "Just do it!" Hear him sing Victory in Jesus!
When the world deals you lemons---make lemonade! David Ring is certainly a powerful witness to that statement. He is living proof God is able no matter what! You will be challenged and blessed as you hear his story!
Prepare for a blessing! David Ring is one of the premier evangelists of our day. He has reached tens of thousands for Christ. Preached in thousands of churches and traveled the world BUT David was dead at birth, so they thought, and set aside for 18 minutes and as a result he has cerebral palsy---be prepared to never feel sorry for yourself again!
When a saved loved one leaves us for heaven it's not "goodbye" but rather---"I'll see you in the morning!" A special song for those who have loved ones in heaven today! The real truth about the Internet. A wicked movement aimed at banning youth groups and vacation Bible schools! Sick but happening!
Maturing in Christ oft times reveals how much more we need to mature! Sometimes it is HE that is testing our faith and He knows our trials come to only make us strong! Many are struggling today and saying "I just can't take any more" BUT He knows exactly how much pressure to put on us to drive us to our knees!
These are challenging times to say the least. Many have asked, "Is it a sin to worry?" Some have said they never worry! Possibly they have a bigger sin in lying!LOL Friend, we all worry from time to time that's when we need to "stir up the gift in us"---remember His Word is true, His promises sure and this too will pass!
If His promise of salvation is good enough for you to trust Him, by faith, for your eternity---why isn't is good enough to get you through today? His Word is true---His promises sure and yet so often we fail to really grab on to them and rest in His power!
Last week I shared on three different days old hymns from a Gerald Wolf hymn sing and several folks emailed to ask "How can I get my children to listen to that type of music?" Put your seat belt on---we're going to a very blunt, straightforward trip today! It's time God's people DARE to trust God!
How can a person say they are born again yet believe there is more than one way---Jesus---to get to heaven? A lady writes about her church splitting an wants to know why Christians don't see gossip as a sin? What makes a good Christian in your opinion? A selection of great hymns from Saturday night!
I am amazed how many Christians will go through a whole day, even longer---and never thank the one who saved their soul, forgave all their sins and has prepared a fabulous place called heaven for them---guaranteed for all who genuinely have trust Him! Ps. 103 should be our theme!
There is an absolute way to know IF you were to die---today, tomorrow or anytime---you would go to heaven! God loves you and wants to forgive you of every sin you've ever committed---past, present or future---find out today have you can know for sure you have eternal life!
THE greatest comfort about knowing Christ is to know and not have to wonder what will happen when you die! God removes all fear of death and what will happen if that happens today, tomorrow or the next day! When you trust Jesus Christ all fear of "what if" is gone and it is forever settled---heaven awaits!
David Crosby, of Crosby, Stills and Nash, said one day before he died that "heaven is overrated!" The fact he died one day after saying that should not escape you and one can only wonder what he thinks now! If there---is it overrated? If he isn't---I bet he wishes he was!
More than any Bible College or any of the sermons I have heard from many preachers the lessons I learned from an 11 year old little boy have stuck with me over all these years. My faith and trust in God was made strong by this boy's life and death!
A tribute to Evangelist David Ring, A mother asks why her daughter and son-in-law are divorcing after they loved each other so much? How does this happen? A discussion about the 17 schools in Virginia who withheld merit scholarships over equality! How to refute Jehovah Witnesses!
More than Bible College---more than any preacher I've ever met---an 11 year old boy named Donnie taught me more about faith and absolutely trusting God no matter what than anyone else in my life! Learn today the great lessons he taught me!
This is a story I pray you will never forget! It changed my whole life and is the source God used to show me He had all the power I needed IF I would only trust Him. This little boy taught me more about faith than anyone else in my entire life!
If you discovered a treasure chest of gold coins would you take just one? How about winning millions in the lotto and saying you only want a couple hundred bucks? I firmly believe most Christians are living below their privilege when God owns the cattle on a thousand hills and is more than able! Eph. 3:20
The God of this world---creator of everything---all powerful, all knowing unlimited God is your father when you become His child (John 1:12) and He has all the power you need. Does it mean you will have a life trouble free---no! BUT---you will never walk alone another day in your life and He will be as big as you let Him be !
Why don't more preachers Tell it like it is? Why aren't we seeing more young men surrender to preach? What percentage of kids do you fell are really saved? Can a person commit suicide and still go to heaven? What is it going to take to get prayer back in our schools? Status of Boys without Dads and Girls without Moms?
We have been talking over the last three days about "What is the priority of your life?" Just imagine when either by death or rapture we find ourselves standing before the King of Kings who died for our salvation. What will it be like? What will He ask us? what will be say? What can we expect? The answers are all in His Word!
Much can be learned from how a nation treats it's children. Children are precious to God---He tells us that if we treat them right we will be blessed---treat them wrong and "better a millstone we tied about your neck and you were drowned in the sea." Make sure you love and care for children and "thou shalt be blessed!" Luke 14:14
Is Jesus Christ IN your life or IS He your life? The someone says, "My kids are the most important part of my life!" Does that mean the most important thing regarding their lives is where they will spend eternity or that you go to all their ballgames, etc? Whether we eat, sleep or whatever we do we are to do ALL to the honor and glory of God!
Jesus says "make me Lord, follow me and find my will for your life and do it!" The world says keep up with the Jones, it's how big a house you have. The kind of car you drive---how much money you make and so what if you lose you children in the process! Yet---one day "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess."
How do you develop strong faith? Given the right stimulus America and the world have witnessed what can happen. The powerful witness God has created out of the medical emergency of one football player! What do you feel about the struggle to elect a speaker of the House? What do you feel is your greatest accomplishment in ministry?
II Chronicles 7:14 is a 7 point step to saving a people. Most have read it or heard it BUT most do not believe it! In fact, when you talk about all the miracles God did in the past most would say they believe it---yet doubt it could happen today! The promises of God are a sure today as when He wrote them or did them in the past!
Monday night I saw America at it's best! The American spirit is alive and well---sadly, it took a tragedy to bring it out but it was in there all the time. If only God's people to call up that same spirit and come together inspire of differences and pray like I saw Monday night---we could save our children and our land!
Beware! Satan is roving to and fro and has his sights set on you and your family. If you think you can deal with him om your own you are very foolish and he will eat you for lunch and devour you! BUT---there is a way and yes for you! to be bullit proof.
God is not only a God of promises but He really delights in keeping His promises! Ps. 91 is full of promises of protection! The story in today's message is one many find hard to believe yet demonstrates His wonderful ability to protect us and is one we need to claim as we launch out into this New Year!
The high cost of unforgiveness and bitterness! Where do we give? Why is the a shortage of preachers and missionaries? What do I foresee in the coming year? Some special thoughts to our friends in the Buffalo and northeast area!
God gives us 168 hours a week---10,800minutes yet we can't find 5 minutes to call someone or email or text them and say "I'm praying for you!" No time to go to church---no time to serve God??? One day the "secrets of all men's hearts will be known." The question will be "What did you do with your life?"
Spiders never just go away. You have to kill them otherwise they keep building more and more webs. You can clean the web out and next thing you know the spider is building a new one---over and over and over again---until you finally kill that spider. Many have a "secret place" in their life that Satan is repeatedly building webs and not until you name it and kill it will you ever be truly free and that only is possible through Jesus Christ and His power!
Sin will take you farther than you ever wanted to go! Like cancer it starts off so small then grows and grows and the biggest mistake people make is in thinking THEY can handle it---they can get out of it without the help of the one and only way out---Jesus Christ. There is not a sin He does not hate nor a sinner He does not love!
So often I have heard from people, "I just don't seem it be able to get a victory over---" There is a little known secret to actually winning a battle over sin that we will discuss in this message!
What do you do with a 13 year old female killer? What do you feel the truth is about the border crisis? How does the liberal gestapo control youth facilities? What will be your main emphasis in 2023? What is the difference between trusting Jesus and His Lordship?
The Shepards made haste to obey God! Mary and then Joseph made haste to obey when God spoke. Though what they were being told was certainly strange they obeyed when God spoke. In many of our cases God may speak but do we obey with haste or do we doubt, delay or simply ignore His call which is dangerous!
Is Jesus really Lord of your life? Are you totally surrendered to His will? What about when things we don't like happen? Friends turn on us? Loss of a loved one? Things just don't seem to be going our way? Most are ok with "some things" but if "All things work together for good"---then when do we quit trusting???
So often we forget the three messages the angel delivered to the Shepards that first Christmas night: Fear Not! Peace on earth and good will to men! So many fear when God's desire is it be well with us! And if the world needs anything it is the Peace that only can come from Him and good will towards men!
Complaining comes easy for many BUT counting our blessings---thanking Him for His goodness oft times doesn't. The Shunamite woman had just had her son die. When she came to the prophet and he asked---Is it well with you, your husband, your son? Her response was IT IS WELL! Learn today how she could say that and why!
You probably would have a much easier time of it if you'd quit preaching about homosexuality and abortion! My Pastor never preaches about those things! Complaining won't bring blessings! The turning away from God's structure for the home and manhood and womanhood! How we are slapping God in the face!
Over the years I have heard people say that the reason someone did not trust Christ is they thought just saying prayer was too easy. Well first of all it's not "just" saying a prayer and we'll talk about that today BUT "easy?" not for God and certainly not for Jesus!
I encourage you to read Proverbs 24:10-13! 450 children will die today of "un-natural causes!" Your news will tell of the deaths by suicide, overdoses, crime and etc. Many will shake their heads in dismay and say how terrible that is BUT---not be willing to send an email or make a call or tell someone personally the hope can only be found in Jesus Christ! Our job is to try!
If the ONLY hope for a hopeless life is Jesus---and He is! Then someone has to carry that message and give that person hope! And that is us! Far to many have the attitude "let George do it"---well George isn't doing it and those who think keeping their head down and not saying anything will win have forgotten someday we will face Him and give an account even for our every idle word!
I am sure most would say they agree THE only hope for our children is Jesus Christ BUT I wonder how many really really believe that! No question our children are in trouble 45% in a recent survey said they were seriously depressed and felt hopeless---1*% seriously have considered suicide and 9% have tried it---yet Jesus stands at the door just waiting!
The world may be a mess but Jesus still has the hope! Our job is to proclaim not argue! We are not promised His blessings for arguing BUT He promises to honor His Word and bless when we lift Him up and proclaim His answer for a broken life. We are to let our light shine and proclaim!
A young Pastor's wife asks what she can do to "pick her husband up"---he's discouraged over some gossip in his church! A young mother of a 7 year old girl and a 10 year old boy asks what she can do to fight the wickedness around her children! A lady goes to church on-line and asks if that is ok?
Though we know very little about Joseph and he never speaks in the Bible his life speaks legions! We are told he is a "just" man and we know he was a man of character who obviously loved Mary. He was chase in his actions towards her AND he was the hand picked man out of all mankind to raise the Son of God!
Most people treat Joseph as an incidental part of the Christmas story but he is anything but that! God chose him as much as He chose Mary and the role Joseph plays in the Bethlehem story can not be underestimated! He did right because it was right to do and never worried about the fallout. Today we look at his character!
The days in which we live demand that we be people of character. We are called to stand, proclaim and let our light shine for Him! This is our time and these are our children, families and lands! One of the men who displayed real character in the Word is Joseph!
Little attention is paid to Joseph in the Christmas story BUT had he not done the right thing! He never says anything in all of scripture but his actions speak legions about God's plan. Over the next days we are going to look at the great example he should be to all of us of one who didn't take the easy way out!
For some reason??? Fridays program was blocked or failed to load or whatever. I have reloaded it and hopefully it will go through!
What do you know about TikTok and why are you against social media? What do you feel is the most important thing in a child's life? I believe it is my life and what I do with it is my business! A response to assisted suicide! My pastor says that a changing culture changes what the Bible says or thinks about certain things! A response to the gender modification craze! Put your seatbelt on!!!
the Bible tells us NOT to be ignorant of the devices of the Devil and that His people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge and many take that to mean they should not listen to the news and beware of today's wickedness. Today we will share how to know what is going on and how NOT to let it affect our spiritual life!
If I were to say YOU have the choice of how your life will be many would say "Oh no that's up to God" BUT He gives US the choice. Today we will explore the kind of life He wants you to have and how our choices determine just that!
God knows exactly where you are and what you need! The timing is totally up to Him but He is always in time, on time, every time. There is a word in the Bible we all struggle with and that word is WAIT! We must trust and obey and wait! He is not only the "reason for the season" but He is the "reason for everything!"
2 Kings 4 tells two stories of the power of God and the belief level of the people involved! God wants to bless you and He gives you and me the choice of just how big He will be in our lives!
How do you avoid arguments at family gatherings? What do you miss the most about Freedom Village? Some myths people believe about the Christmas story!
Happy Thanksgiving Day! We all have so much to be thankful for---just look around you and realize Save but for the grace of God there go I. The heartache and pain many feel today could very easily been at your doorstep and if you have felt pain this year rejoice for He is the great comforter and He is always there!
We all have so much to be thankful for---some maybe more than others but today I want to share one of THE greatest reasons I personally am thankful! A reason to care with you without the year---something to really ponder on and take to heart!
Many young and in fact older people look to the government and claim they are entitled! Yet if the truth is known so many Christians are living below their entitled blessings as a child of a King! See if what we share today makes any sense to you and if you are in truth living below all the promises of God!
Thanksgiving needs to be a lifestyle---we are commanded to "rejoice in the Lord always"---regardless the circumstances we all have so much to be thankful for! As a Christian heaven will be our home. We are never without the hope that lies only in Christ Jesus and somewhere there is always someone who would greatly trade places with us!
What was the secret of the success of Freedom Village? Why aren't there more places like FV? What do you think of President Trump's announcement he will run again? I bet you are glad you are in Florida and not here in the north!
You are a child of a King but far too many Christians forget that and are letting the cares of this life weigh them down instead of calling on the POWER available to us as God's children! He loves you. He is able. And He tells us to cast our cares on Him for He cares for you! 1 Peter 5:7 and 8
Whether it is football. baseball, golf or whatever the basic rule is keep your eye on the ball. The same is true in the Christian life---whether good times or trials---keep your eye on the goodness of God. Circumstances come and go but Jesus is always there and His love never changes.
Satan and his forces don't want you to realize the goodness of God. How much He loves and cares for you and that His Word is true, His promises sure nor to claim His forgiveness and resurrection power! No election, no matter how it turns out can change any of that!
So many have expressed being distraught over the recent election. My friend, our joy and peace and security is not in man, a government or an election! Please listen as we explore the real source of peace and joy and where our confidence really ought to be!
How do you maintain your joy when people criticize you especially when it is your own family? How many teens are you reaching? If I wanted to put your ministry in my will would I leave it to Victory Today Children's Fund, Operation Mercy or how should I designate it?
Discouragement is part of life. There is no way to avoid it but but we are told "let not your heart be troubled!" However, easier said than done---especially with the economy, crime, mess the schools are in etc. Yet, God gives us a very clear way to deal with discouragement. Even when a loved one dies!
Discouragement is part of life and especially when you decide you are going to follow Christ. Satan goes to work with all his imps to try and discourage you. You are not a failure because you get discouraged once in awhile---its normal. Today I will give you some tips I've learned over these years on how to overcome it.
The similarities between the days of Noah recorded in Gen.6 and today are staggering! The land was filled with wickedness, violence, perversion and corruption! BUT---Noah found grace in the sight of the Lord---the same grace you and I can find today! WE can live right and love Him even in these wicked times.
Today we take a fresh look at the life of Noah in a way we oft times overlook! Here is a man, with no Bible, no scrolls yet having heard from God one time in 75 years he still obeyed and followed the directions of God!
Is it necessary to end every prayer with "In Jesus Name?" How do I get over the fears that I feel daily? Why did God cause Job to go through all his troubles? How do I deal with the grief I feel over losing my husband? Do you feel this election will be fair? The truth about big tech and the liberal media and slanted polls!

The world says: the Bible is not true, It doesn't mean what it says, Its a new age, You don't need to be born again and oft times waters down what trusting Christ really means---don't forget Satan is the "Father flies" and eternity is a long time to live with being wrong! John 3:3 is true and the very reason Jesus came!

John 3:3 is true and the very reason Jesus came!
People say it but I oft times wonder if they really believe it! God and God alone is THE one and only hope! For a life, for our homes and children, for our nations! He alone has THE one and ONLY answer! But it starts with people willing to admit they are sinners in need of saving!
Dr. B.R. Lakin was one of a kind! He use to ride his mule over the hills of Tennessee preaching. God used him greatly over the span of over 60 years preaching. He is buried on the campus of Liberty University but he lives on in the hearts of many preachers like me! If you don't like "tell it like it is" preaching you won't like this!
A special message from the late, great evangelist B.R. Lakin. A classic about the life of Belshazzar and the foley of riotous living and the curse it brings on a country. See if you see any similarities concerning the present day curse on the U.S. and Canada!
Why am I not seeing answers to my prayers? What does it mean to pray within the will of God? Do you think early voting opens the door to voter fraud? What is the truth about the Canadian bill C-7 legalizing mercy killing? Do you think inflation is Satan's way of attacking churches and ministries?
The world is a un-Godly mess. If you have been living on another planet you probably have missed there is an election right around the corner! So why should we care after all Jesus is coming BUT I would share that folks thought that for most of my life! Our children will live, as will we, in this world until that day!
The mighty oak was once just a seed. The most beautiful flower once just a seed. The most beautiful person once just a seed. So too the wicked sin that can destroy a whole life was once a little seed. Cancer starts so small yet can infect a whole human life. BUT one drop of Jesus's blood and saved a soul!
We all think we have to do something big for God but so often in the Bible and in life its the little things God has for us to do that really count! How many ladies appreciate that one rose that simple "I love you" note on the pillow! Call someone today---text or email that lonely friend with a simple "I was thinking of you!"
There is no small service to God! Today marks the beginning of my 49th year of serving Jesus Christ. Today is program number 31,585---but without your prayers and your wonderful support large and not so large none of this would have been possible so thank you, thank you, thank you! Lets keep on keeping on!
We don't often think about it but each moment of each day we are building a legacy we will be remembered by! Someone once said that after we are gone the only one that will remember us will be the lawn mower who cuts the grass over our grave but that is not all together true. Your children, grandchildren and those we knew will remember the legacy we leave behind!
I'm sure you've heard somewhere along the line---"what goes around comes around!" God said it this way, "Whatsoever you reap you will sow!" This story is a prime example of that. Jacob and his wife pay the price for their sin BUT GOD is also loving and forgiving as is also proven in this story!
Jesus told the woman at the well "If you only knew who I am that is sitting here with you!" I have wept many tears over the years thinking if the person I was talking to only knew the freedom they could have had by trusting Christ. Our job is only to tell them and by our lives hopefully show them what Jesus can do!
Everyone one of us will leave a legacy. Many of you have lost loved ones be they a mom, dad, marital partner, child or close friend. There are things you remember well about them: that is the legacy they left behind and someday by death or rapture you and I will leave a legacy! Jacob, 1700 plus years before our story left a well---a legacy. This is a powerful story!
As we journey through life---with all it's twists and turns---we are leaving a trail of example behind us! At the time we face Jesus the question we bill---"What did you do with your life?"---"What kind of a legacy did you leave behind?"
What if a person sins after they are saved? Can a Christian ever commit suicide and still go to heaven? Can a good person ever go to hell? How do I communicate with my teenager? What do you think about Tulsi Gabbard's decision to switch parties? A special plea for help in reaching teenagers!
If you could take my calls for just one day---the nightmare stories of parents who have lost their children. The weeping grandparents and the desperation in the voices of teens looking for any hope and a reason to make it one more day. My friend, we must reach them while we still can! Time is running out!
This is an important message for all who fell they have failed God at some point! The reason you feel that way IS BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE! We are all broken people BUT GOD loves you and there is a great lesson we all need to accept in today's message.
It is not only vital we chase the buzzards away but it is equally important we emplace the bad with good things---good fellowship---positive influences. Man does not live by bread alone and our kids need good, Godly input. Spend quality time with your children. Couples date! Make a good, Bible centered church your haven!
Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian friends and Happy Columbus Day stateside! This is the conclusion of chasing buzzards. You must guard your mind, your heart and your home from the attacks of the enemy! Especially our children!
The Bible is full of promises to the child of God. There is a standard for the Christian life, the Christian home, for raising our children, for the church! With every promise there is a criteria for seeing that promise come true. A nation that lets go of that standard shall suffer the consequences as will the child of God!
What should be THE most important goal of our lives? The polls are rife with what is the most important thing in the up coming election to you? The various answers cover issues like the economy, crime etc. How about making sure we are right with God and our faith is securing trusting in Him and He is pleased with us!
the Bible tells us Satan is as a roaring lion roving to and fro seeking whom he may devour! Most may know that BUT---are you really standing guard over your children and your home. Listen as we talk about the great need of the hour when it comes to keeping Satan and all his dirty tricks away from your children and home.
Paul said they were "troubled on every side yet not distressed. Perplexed but not forsaken. Cast down but not destroyed." 2 Cor. 4:8-9 In this present world with all the challenges facing us--how can't we be positive when it seems every where we turn we see negatives?
When we ask why something is happening to us we challenge God's authority and actually are assessing Him of not knowing what He is doing! Oft times if we let it we will get bitter and taint our whole future!
It is in the times of our biggest rials God shows up and shows off! He takes our distresses and uses them for His glory. It is in the times of great tribulation that our faith in Him should be the strongest!
If not THE number one thing I have heard over the years it is right up there near the top---"I just don't understand"---in today's world many say, "That just doesn't make any sense" or "what is He waiting of?" Aren't you glad someday you will know---you will understand!
Have you ever prayed "Even so Lord Jesus come quickly" and wondered why He hasn't come yet? Some thoughts on just why that is! He certainly will come but there are some good reasons why that hasn't happened yet!
What does the church need to do for new Christians? How can a person know they are saved and going to heaven? How can a person say they are a Christian and believe there is more than one way to heaven? How Cana person say they are a Christian and believe in abortion?
Many think that comforting the mourning and bruised is the job of the Pastor but the actual commandment is to all of us---especially in these last days. Somewhere in "your world" someone needs to know you care and are praying for them. Reach out today and touch somebody and "thou shalt be blessed!"
This is a wicked age BUT nothing compared to what others have endured down through the ages. Nobody is being fed to lions or burned at the stake---the cancel culture slings venom, the hate crowd hates God and all who stand true for Him but He said that day was coming. But we are called to stand and witness inspire of it!
Isa. 61:1&2 gives us a clear commandment of what we should be challenging people about in this day and age. Hey.10:25 says we should be in a good church "even the more so as we see that day approaching!" We have a great opportunity and calling in these days and Satan is working overtime to stop us!
At a time when the need cries out "Help me. Help me"---the answer and help is so near yet those willing to risk sharing it so few!Jesus said, the fields are white unit harvest but the laborers few! My friend, we have THE answer the world is seeking and we must share it!
Is homosexuality a worse sin than any others? What is the real Lord's Prayer? What can I do to help change today's world? What should the church's attitude be about the sins of today? Some very important challenges!
Job begged the men of Sodom to not do so wickedly. What was the wickedness he was talking about? What do you look at in this modern world as wicked? A person can't get saved until they are willing to be lost but if their sin is not sin (according to the world) then how will they ever get saved?
The real story of Lot is the tragedy of not only at wasted life but of a whole wasted, destroyed family. On any given day, Lot or his wife could have said---NO MORE! They knew what was right---they had lived in Abrahams tent---but the total destruction of his family was because Lot loved sin!
Sin will always take you farther than you ever intended to go! Anytime along the way Lot or his wife could have repeated and fled the hellhole they had engulfed themselves and their family in---but they didn't. You can not spit in God's face and get away with it! If you do you will make history for NO ONE has ever been able to do it!
There is a story in the Bible that gets very little attention but is so crucial to today's world! Let's take a serious look at the life and sins of Lot's wife and how we all can relate in our modern day challenges.
Is there anything in the Bible against social media? A man mentions his wicked crimes and wants to know if God can forgive him? A girl thinks she has erased a bad picture only to find it was spread all over school and tries to kill herself! Is there any hope for the crime raging across our lands?
James 1:6-8 holds the key to the biggest torpedo to our prayers and actually seeing the miracle we so desperately are asking God for! "Wavering"---giving it to God and taking it back, doubting Him and never really "casting" our cares on to Him!
At least for me---waiting until God does the miracle I am praying for is the hardest part. I want patience and I want it now! BUT---the timing is all up to Him AND Satan uses the waiting time to try and discourage---to whisper in your ear---trying to get you to give up and doubt. Today we talk about the waiting game!
The lame man in John 5 had been lame 38 years. He was hoping for over 13,000 days someone would put him in the pool but others always beat him to it. Jesus comes by and asks a very strange question: "Would you be healed?" Listen today as we explore the why for that question!
Happy Labor Day! The question has been asked of me, "Pastor, how long does it take for a miracle?" Today you will hear of a 2022 living miracle! You need to hear this story---it will encourage your heart!

How can I know I am really saved? Do you ever doubt? What is your opinion of the college loan forgiveness program? What do you personally pray for the most? Do you believe that we are living in a day when a Nehemiah type miracle could still happen?
The story of Nehemiah is a fascinating miracle. The wall was built in 52 days. Nehemiah knew it would only happen by God but he also knew it would take a lot of people---each one doing their part to rebuild the wall in front of their house. "My people, called by my name" working together for the honor and glory of God!
The story of Nehemiah is a fascinating miracle. The wall was built in 52 days. Nehemiah knew it would only happen by God but he also knew it would take a lot of people---each one doing their part to rebuild the wall in front of their house. "My people, called by my name" working together for the honor and glory of God!
When we read the stories of great miracles in the Bible: be they Nehemiah's story, Esther, Daniel, the three Hebrew children and all the others there is one common denominator in the all---they all realized their only hope and THE one who did the miracle was God and He alone! He likes to do things where only He gets the credit!

He likes to do things where only He gets the credit!
When you really understand the miracle of Nehemiah and the rebuilding of the wall you can't help but believe in the God of miracles. Today we'll share so oft overlooked parts of this story!
Sometimes it's a mess they are going through with family, finances, business, health, children or the world condition in general but I get this question quite often! The answer is always the same---yes---as long as God is on the throne of your life---yes---there is hope. If He brought you to it He will bring you through it!
How has Satan used Covid-19 to undermine the church? What if my church doesn't have any place for me to serve? How does repentance play into modern day Christianity? How any I suppose to use my gifts from God? What role should prayer play in our everyday life?

By removing sin from our preaching we likewise remove the great opportunity to tell people about the freedoms and forgiveness offered only in Jesus. The guilt of that still small voice haunts so many and when we fail to point out that Jesus can set one free we in effect take away the the real gospel from people's lives!
We are talking this week about the failure of the church in modern America and Canada. Unless sin is sin and repentance is preached---how does a person get saved? We have so watered down sin that guilt and shame and repenting of ones sins has basically become non-existant!
Today we will look at the failure of the church in being the moral compass for our lands AND how it has completely failed our children and failed to support the family. I firmly believe much of our failures in society can be laid at the feet of our pulpits!
We talk all the time about His coming and that it could happen any day---maybe today---BUT are we really ready? Whether by death or by rapture we know someday He will come for us---and we will stand before Him. The question of the hour is are we ready?
You said recently that one of the first criteria for a miracle is obedience. Doesn't God realize we are all sinners? What hurts you the most with this present world? How can I help you, other than money of course, in your work? Where do you think we go from here?
Right after He says "fret not the evil doers." in Psalm 37 He says---"and do good!" Just when you want to sucker punch that person God comes along and says we need to do good! 95% of your problems in life can be traced back to people and here He says we not only need to not let them frustrate us but we need to do good!
Easier said than done. This world is in a mess BUT it is exactly as He said it would be AND the Lord is still in control. We are told in Psalm 37:3 "Trust is the Lord" and partner there is no BUT after that. I know its hard but we have to place our faith and trust in Him no matter what!
Our money driven society has set up a whole value system based on how much money you have---the kind of house you live in---the time of car you drive etc. BUT---God's value system is totally different! Lets explore that today!
Ps.37 makes it very plain---"payday someday" for evildoers and we are to keep on keeping on inspire of the circumstances and leave it to God! Read Psalm 37 and Psalm 91 and put your faith, hope and trust in God!
We have two sons. One is sweet the other is a monster. Same parents, same home---how can they be so different? What does the Bible say about cremation? What do you think of the FBI raid on Trumps home? What makes you think the IRS will be coming after Christians?
John 14:13 We can ask anything in His name an He will do it "IF" what we are asking for will glorify the Father in the Son! Ask yourself---is what I am asking for something that is going to be approved by and glorify God!
When you read the first verse of John 14 it doesn't say "Let not your heart be troubled" UNLESS this is happening or things don't seem to be getting better or your miracle hasn't happened yet! It says believe in God and believe in Jesus PERIOD!
John 14 tells us to "let not your heart be troubled"---Jesus goes on to tell us the secret to being at peace in this troubled world is to believe in God and believe in Him. So many will say they believe BUT the question is do they really believe. It behooves us to ask---Do I really believe?
Pastor, how do I do that in light of the wickedness surrounding me in this sin sick world? This is answered on today's program!
Warning new drug killing children! The attack on masculinity! What was the first thing we worked on when a young person came to FV? The great need for the Boys without Dads and the Girls without moms program?
Sometimes thens don't look like they are moving in the right direction. Keep looking to Jesus, do not take your eye off the prize---He is oft times a "last minute miracle worker" but Satan will do his best to discourage you in the journey. Keep on keeping on---keep believing and trusting!
Mark chapter 9 tells the story of a father burdened to tears over his son. It seems like an impossible situation BUT GOD! This fathers intensity and total belief in the power of God recourses his son after many years of demon possession. My friend, God is still doing miracles today!
God is still in the miracle business. He is the same yesterday, today and forever AND His power and miracle ability is not diminished one bit! ˙e loves you and wants to bless you! We must rust Him, believe in Him, meet His criteria for blessings and endure!
Today we will talk about one of the most crucial aspects of a miracle! Endurance! I confess I am not a good person to wait---but waiting and trusting on God is a must to seeing miracles. God is a "last minute" miracle worker and you must learn to endure!
What should I do and how far should I "push it" over a family feud? When is it time to just quit fighting and "throw in the towel" over the wickedness attacking my Christian business? hat do I do I feel like such a failure in my Christian walk? When is it ok to admit you fear something?
What would you do if you really knew tomorrow was home going day? We talk about His coming being "any day" and yet live like it's far off. We started Monday asking "what would you change if you knew you had five days before seeing Jesus?" Tomorrow is that day---are you ready?

I firmly believe we who know Him need a good ole fashion dose of excitement about heaven. But, there is a sad part surrounding His coming---and that is about the loved ones we will be leaving behind===we need to step up our urgency and we must warn them---we may not win them all but we can warn them all!
We know He is coming---many believe soon. We are playing a "what if" game. What if it were this Friday and you knew He was coming back for sure this Friday. What would you change to get ready?
I'm sure you have either said or heard about Jesus coming, the last days, etc. My question is what if you knew He was coming in 5 days? What would you change? Would you rearrange any of your priorities? Who is there in your life you would really storm the heavens for?
How can I teach my children not to be so selfish and care about other people? Why do you date every program? What do you see are the role of the church in today's world? Could you explain more about the Boys without Dads program? Have you ever heard about Awana?
Far too many Christians use God as a last resort rather than going to Him first! All of the excuses of "I'm not worthy" "I can't really see Him doing it" etc. fall short when you come to the realization you are His child and He really loves you and wants to bless you!
Inspire of the fact David was chosen, anointed and blessed he fell into deep sin! Beware! Thank God He looks at our heart and can forgive and restore even after great sin. On any given day we can begin again and get a fresh start. The ordinal son, David, Paul show us how forgiving and restoring God can be.
So many say, "I never will forget the day I asked Jesus into my life." The truth is He doesn't want to be IN your life He wants to live His life through your life! MY life is to be crucified and His life IS to be my life. MY life needs to end and His life needs to consume me and His will is to be the controlling factor!
David was an adulterer and a murderer. And God judged him for it and there were severe consequences for his sin. Yet in Acts 13:22 we are told that God considered him "a man after God's own heart." Why? How could He?
What's wrong with kids today? Why are they so lazy? How do I reach my grown kids and my grandkids? How do I learn to memorize scripture? What importance does God place on church today?
We all have the tendency to pray and if God does answer our prayer right away we begin to get discouraged to let Satan begin to whisper in our ears that He isn't going to do it BUT God does not operate on our time table and He will always "work" things together for our good if we keep trusting and believing!
Romans 8:28 He didn't say "some things" or "most things" or "only good things" He said ALL things WORK together for good to those who 1. "Love God" and 2. "Are called according to His purpose"---that's in His will doing the "ministry" He has called us to!
Paul says we all have a ministry---II For. 4:1 He would also say in Romans 12 that we all have different gifts and callings but one thing is certain---we all are to serve God and be ready at His coming. Maybe morning, maybe noon, maybe evening and maybe soon BUT we are to step it up and be ready.
One of the ways we know things are of God and He wants us to go forward is Satan really steps up his efforts to stop our willingness to step up and go forward!
What about global warming? When do you think Jesus might come back? What if you have reallly messed up how do you start again? How is the economy effecting you? Do you recommend homeschooling? Do you think Trump will run again? Questions about the Boys without Dads program.
I have often said, "Sin will take you farther than you ever wanted to go!" Learn a very valuable lesson from Lot and the consequences of his sin and realize this: and time he wanted to change the direction he had chosen for his life---God was there with open arms!
The little song we all probably sang as kids, "Oh be careful little eyes what you see" is good for older folks too! The world is good at sowing dissatisfaction into our eyes! Paul said, "I have LEARNED to be content..." It's a constant learning process or the lust of the eyes will take us farther than we ever intended to go!
I would remind you that God created the world perfect---man has messed it up! We were born with a free will---man is the product of his choices. Sin will always take you farther than you ever wanted to go and our will gets us in trouble IF we make the wrong choices!
Some very special prayer requests. What do you do when you get saved later in life and realize you were a bad parent? The truth about the real history of America and the lies being told to our children. Do you miss New York? The truth about God's love and forgiveness!
My Bible says He is the same yesterday, today and forever! Do you need a miracle? Well I have great news for you---He is still in the miracle business and your miracle maybe the next one on His agenda! Pray, believe and don't doubt!
With all the bad around us it is easy to forget just how blessed we really are! Praise God for all of His goodness and show your praise to those around you---He is a great and wonderful God---today we will explore many of the great things we all should be thankful for!
There will come a day in each Christian's life when the question will be "did you try?" We are the only army in the world who wins by complete surrender and it is not a matter of whether we win the race . Only did we enter the race and try!
2/3 of America's children do not know about the gospel! Even if they know the name of Jesus or anything about God they do not know the gospel according to recent surveys. The lies they are being told are taking their toll but you and I have an opportunity to seize the times and tell them the truth!
The truth about electric cars and the high prices of fuel. Who are the "least of these?" Straight truths for the communist plan for the take over of a country that are far to similar to today's headlines.
Correction about Evalde Texas shooting. Number one answer when kids are asked. "What does it mean when someone says I love you?" Spend time with me! Spend time with your children. Show them Jesus alive in your life! Let them see you reading your Bible. Pray with them!
Most good parents and grandparents would probably say, "Do what you want to me BUT DON'T YOU DARE HURT MY KIDS OR GRANDKIDS!" Isn't that what Jesus was saying in Matt. 25 when He warned us not to hurt or ignore "the least of these my brethren?"
We hear a lot about the "last days" and in truth, our children are under more vicious attacks than ever in any of our lifetimes. Yet, so many seem content to just let them die! Whether you are a parent our a grandparent---these children are growing up in the world we have presented to them. There is hope---there IS an answer!
There is an all out war being waged for our children. Today I will share some very staggering statistics BUT there is still ONE and ONLY ONE way to fight this war and save our children's lives!
A frank discussion about the "Age of accountability" and how it plays into the whole issue of abortion. Once again our children are last and pay the highest price for America's wickedness.
Pray earnestly that your life would show love to a lost and dying world. You cannot control how people treat you BUT you CAN control how you treat them. Pray for the excellent spirit the King saw in Daniel!
Love doesn't grow instantly nor does it die quickly either---it takes time either way. There has been an fallout attack on love over many years and much of what is happening in our culture is a result of that assault!
There has been an all out attack on love. Totally undermining the whole meaning of love, purpose of love, definition of love and showing of love. We must love on purpose!
There has been an all out, organized, concentrated attack on love for many years! 1 John4:8 says, "God is love!" But looking around at the way TV, or Hollywood in movies, or the music industry portrays love it's no wonder our young people have lost all reality about what real love is. Listen as we explore the real meaning of love.
What is the number one thing, other than making the Bible the rule and guide in our home, we need to tell our children? What is the truth about the high gas prices? What should parents be on the lookout for concerning overdoses? Warnings about Disney!
Our children are on the altar of sacrifice! There is a whole new "normal" when it comes to what they should be like---their culture and standards! Satan's buzzards are picking at their flesh and destroying their lives.
Abraham "drove" the fowls away! The biggest failure America and Canada have done is we have not drove the fowls away from our children, our homes, our churches and our government. The apathy of God's people is showing up across the spectrum of society and our children are paying the biggest price.
Its time we claimed our rightful spot as a child of the King. He says we are His children (John 1:12) and His promises belong to us. No we don't deserve it nor are worthy of it BUT He says it and we are to believe it and claim our position as adopted children!
Do you really believe God? The story of Abraham is not unique. He believed, Daniel believed, Job believed in fact all the greats of the Bible and those we read and study about since Biblical times who did great things and saw great things done...believed God and trusted in Him and doubted not!
Many questions this week about why an elementary school was the latest place of a mass shooting. How and why this is happening and how to prevent it in your area. The power of a good, strong Bible based family and how to have one! If all else fails---read the directions!
Luke 14:14 promises blessing to those who reach out and help the least of these His brethren. It is not only commanded but so very beneficial to our children that they see you caring for others! The needs are all around us and the opportunity to care likewise abound. A simple phone call, text or note could brighten someones day. The question will not be "did you win them" but rather...did you try!
Today I will challenge you to compartmentalize your life. True---there may be certain things over which you have little or no control---BUT---when it comes to your personal walk with Christ AND your home ---you can control the vast majority of it!
The computer world says, "Garbage in---garbage out." Is there any hope for America and Canada? YES---stop "teaching" garbage to our children---"teach" them once again to love and honor God and make our lands ONE NATION UNDER GOD again!
These are very challenging days. Many are asking how these events in Texas and across America could be happening. An explanation is in today's program!
The songwriter wrote: "If I never had a problem. I'd never have known God could solve them. I'd never have known what faith in God can do!" Tribulation worth patience. Patience experience and experience hope. Trails given to Him builds hope. Do not run from trials---give them to Him!
Storms are a fact of life! You may think you will somehow avoid them BUT you won't and if you live long enough you will lose loved ones, you will hurt from those you love dying, financial reversals, marital trails---the list goes on and on BUT---we have an "anchor" for our souls---a "very present help" in time of trouble!
2 Cor. 4:8 Paul said, "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down but not destroyed!" How?? Have you ever felt the heartaches of life, the vicious attacks of the enemy? Ever felt all alone? You are not my friend---listen to this program!
Trails and tribulation are real BUT so is the matchless power of God. God is able to meet every need in your life! The idea that we "fake it til we make it" is just not the right way to approach the trials of life. Take your burdens to the Lord and leave them there. He is able!
As Christians we spend a lot of time trying to figure out when Jesus is coming again instead of rejoicing that He IS coming again! My friend heaven will be there when we get there and our loved ones who have gone on in the Lord before us will also be there WHEN we get there!
There is coming a day when we will understand it all much better but for now our job is to trust and obey and rest in the fact He knows what He is doing! Thank God He didn't leave us to wonder but gave us His Word and tells us exactly what will happen before He comes!
We spend way too much time trying to understand the why's of life rather than just rusting He knows what He is doing and He knows what is best for us! To know He is in control and He has your best interest at heart is what we need to know!
Heb. 6:17-19 says we have an anchor for our soul which is stedfast and sure. We may not understand all that is happening but God says He loved us so much that He didn't want us to wonder---He left us an anchor that we can hold fast to no matter the circumstances.
What do you feel has attributed to your success in the ministry for all these years? How has the cancel culture affected you? How has all this wickedness happened and where is God? How do I deal with the high costs of gas and food and still keep giving?
They say talk is cheap---it has been my personal experience that many "say" they trust God but when they are facing a Goliath in their life---they do not! David in 1 Sam.17 never doubted Goliath would fall and he was not afraid to go out and challenge him with a mere sling shot because he knew it was God and His power that would give him the victory! Do you?
When God says He is able---He puts absolutely NO limits on it. He is sufficient no matter the size of your mountain or the strength of the enemies forces. God saw Goliath long before David did and the lion and the bear were just preludes to the battle He knew was coming and He saw your Goliath long ago as well!
One of the common denominators of the greats in God's Word and down through the ages is this: They all knew that they only could do great things through the power of God. It was not them but Him who was able!
Are not our children and grandchildren worth fighting for? THE only answer is to establish our homes with a Biblical worldview! Less than 2% of homes surveyed recently say their home is established on a Biblical worldview. 8% of born again homes say their's is!
What can a 86 year old lady on a fixed income do? What worries you the most affecting teenagers today? What is the "last days" importance of the possible ending of Roe v. Wade? What has been the fallout of your most recent Tell it like it is Report?
The woman at the well in John 4 "left her waterspout and ran and told the city Come see a man." Have you left your water pot? When Jesus touches a life He gives us a story to tell that the world needs to hear! We are called to be Ambassadors of hope to this dying world!
I'm not asking do you know Him as your Savior---although I certainly hope you do---BUT do you really know Him? He asked the woman at the well in John 4---"If you only knew who it is that is speaking to you." Do you really know His miracle powers? Really know Him as a prayer answering friend? Do you really know Him?
Some people think that have to know the Bible like a pastor to be a good witness. Your story is your testimony. What God has done for you is the hope others need to see and hear! The woman at the well (John 4) turned from a woman so ashamed and consumed by sin to a person who brought her whole town to Jesus!
More than any 10,000 other things this world needs to know there is hope and that hope is in Jesus Christ. So many feel like there is no hope and YOU may well be THE one to tell them about Jesus. We are all broken people but if you have found Jesus---share that good news of hope!
Do you think Elon Musk buying Twitter is a good thing? Will you now go on Twitter? Where did all this modern day mess start? How do we raise good, Christian kids in spite of what is going on in the world? Who do you listen to or watch?
So often we forget---life isn't always fair---BUT He is always there! No where in the Bible do we see where He promised life would be fair---Satan doesn't play fair---BUT God is always faithful and will always bring us through with a "high hand." Hey. 12 tells us to "look to Jesus!"
We've all been there! Tempted to play woe is me! Just remember somewhere there is someone who would gladly trade places with you anytime. Today we will look at the suffering of Jesus for us and that "great cloud of witnesses" we shall see in heaven who have really suffered for their faith in Him!
Hebrews 12:1 that "great cloud of witnesses" includes all the greats of the past and many of our loved ones who have gone on before us---looking down upon us and asking---"why do you fear man"---"trust God like we did"---"serve Him"---"let your light shine to this needy world."
Hebrews 12:1 talks about the "great cloud of witness" in heaven. Do people in heaven see what is happening down here? What are they saying about what we are doing? Many suffered much for their faith---what are they saying about what we are doing about the things happening in this world at this time?
What do I pray for the most? What do I feel is the main reason things are so far from God? Is it overdosing or poisoning of our children? What do you do when things look grim? Drought---not matter what do right! God's power is as real today as ever and He is still in the business of miracles!
If you know your Bible I doubt you have missed God's particular love for children! We are alive today "for such a time as this"---this is our watch and I firmly believe someday He is going to ask us all---"Why did my little ones die?" "Why did they suffer the horrors they did on your watch?" What will we say?
The war in Ukraine has brought the death of innocent children to the forefront! Reuben said in Gen.42:22, "Didn't I tell you do not sin against the child?" Yet, today, we blatantly sin against the child and I firmly believe someday Jesus will ask---why? Why did they die when you could have told them about me---why?
Thanks to Easter we have a story to tell! YOU have a story to tell and your world needs to hear it! If you someday want to hear "well done thou good and faithful servant" then tell YOUR world about His story and yours!
Today we have a story to tell! The real gospel! And I firmly believe just like surrounding that first Easter many are just hanging by a thread waiting for you and I to tell them this story! The real gospel story!
Do you celebrate Easter? What if your family is Catholic and they invite you to their mass? Could Jesus come back on Easter? What is the truth about three days and three nights? How do you stay positive with all the wickedness and foolishness around us?
One of the glaring traits in these last days is deceit! Out and out lying from the father of lies. We are told in 2 Thes.2 that Satan and his minions come "with all deceivableness of unrighteousness" (verse 10) and I believe we are certainly there---BUT God and His Word are truth and thank God we have them!
John 14:1 tells us: "Let not your heart be troubled." Pretty hard to do in these times with all the violence and horrors we see around us---He also said to "marvel not"---how so we do that? The answer is to keep looking up, claim His promises and realize "weeping only lasts for the night but joy comes in the morning." Ps.30:5
Our trials come only to make us strong! As much as I hate much of what is happening today---especially as it is harming our children---I know, because He gave us His Word that each day I am closer to heaven. The signs of the times are all around us but that also means THAT day is coming soon and we should rejoice!
Have you ever wondered what if there were no Bible? That God did not tell us all the things that would be going on in the world just before He comes back? Step by step He has told us what things would be like before His return! Thank God He didn't leave us to wonder!
Information about Ukraine. Why are people so stupid? What can a 84 year old man do? Will you ever be able to rebuild FV Ukraine? What is happening in Dominican Republic? How did America and Canada ever get like this?
Romans 1 talks about a "reprobate mind"---what is God talking about and are we seeing these minds all around us? If you are genuinely saved thank Him for the promise of heaven! A sad story from Ukraine.
There have been many times in my life, and I'm sure yours, when I said to God "I just don't understand this" and in His timing He proved He knew what He was doing all along. Today, wickedness abounds and horror is all around us BUT GOD! He is in control my friend!
Good is evil and evil is good and sadly the Satan controlled world doesn't seem to care about the evil destroying our lands. The viciousness attacking our children is all around us and I believe will eventually lead to His coming. Is God saying, "Enough is enough?"
Paul said in Romans 7:13 "Sin that it might appear to be sin...and that it might be exceedingly sinful." Have we forgotten to hate sin? Our preachers are to "put difference between the profane and the holy! And who suffers the most when we don't do that? Our children!
Are there things we are suppose to hate? What is the truth about the Florida law banning all teaching of sexual and trans gender teachings to children in grades K-3! A simple explanation for the mess we are in---we have let go of the hand of God! The real failure of the church!
Its not just the world but the church as well that is under a vicious Satanic attack. The question is NOT can God save us but will we meet the conditions He set forth to see that happen! Have we passed the point of no return and is Jesus coming soon?
Romans1:20 "When they knew God they glorified Him not as God neither were they thankful." Make sure "they" isn't "you!" We need to honor Him and we need to be thankful for all He has done, is doing and will do!
It is easy to point the finger at America in general or Canada in general but we are America and Canada. Romans 1 tells us that when they knew Him they glorified Him not as God---who are the "they" and do we glorify Him in our lives---in our home---in our church?
The answer for the mess the devil has forged upon the world is NOT a governmental answer. It is a total return to God and God alone. IF we were to follow the plan laid out in II Chronicles 7:14 we could see America and Canada saved---if not---Jesus will be coming soon!
What does Romans 13 really mean about honoring authority? Is all authority ordained by God? What do you think China may do to the U.S.? How close do you think we are to the coming of the Lord? Is God still doing miracles today?
Life in and of itself is tough but many seem to make it tougher by fretting over things we have no control over. I have often said, "Worry less---pray more!" Jesus said in Matt. 6 "Take no thought for tomorrow..." that means "anxious care"---don't be anxious about tomorrow---Jesus is coming---rejoice He's on His way!
There is no question much bad is happening all around us BUT do you realize these things are moving us closer by the day when Jesus is coming to take us home? We talk about the "last days" but today could be THE last day and a wonderful place called heaven awaits all who know Him as their Savior!
The present day battles facing us all are nothing compared to the trials faced by someone fleeing for their lives, children in tow with everything they own in a small bag or backpack! Many in this world have no hope---you and I have a "lively hope" and an anchor through the storms of life.
Several have said to me, "I just can't believe---thus such and such?"Yet exactly what God said would happen it happening and we are told to "Marvel not" and that "Perilous times" would be coming. Listen today as we take apart exactly what is happening that He said would come.
Overtime my family gets together it turns into an all out war. We argue about current events, Trump, Biden, the Bible---what should I do? Do you think Zelensky could be the anti-Christ? How do you deal with criticism? Are these the last days?
The very first "benefit" David lists in Ps. 103 is that God forgives ALL of our iniquities! Satan want to haunt you with memories of past sins BUT those sins are gone my friend. Completely and wholly forgiven NEVER to be remembered again!
The "cancel culture" lies again---then back to Ps. 103---David loved God from deep within his soul. An inner love that could not be denied!
If God brought you to it He will bring you through it. Ps.103 says "forget not ALL His benefits and the very first one He lists is: "and forgives ALL your iniquities"---rejoice my friend! He loves you---forgives you and will walk right beside you through your trials!
Ps. 103 says, "Bless the Lord oh my soul and ALL that is within me bless His Holy name." We are all good at giving Him some of our lives---others give Him most of our lives but do we give Him all? Do we praise Him in ALL things---even what seems dark or bad?
An update on the children of Ukraine. The truth about oil! The facts about electric cars! What happens if our power grid is hit. The un-Godliness of the racial war and other statements being made.
I hope this story serves to remind you just how much God loves you and wants to bless you!
Jeremiah 13 tells the story of God's love, His desire and what happens if we refuse to listen. I firmly believe it is a direct picture of what is happening in America and Canada today!
God makes a very strange request to Jeremiah. Get a girdle, put it one and don't wash it. Now He tells him to go to the Euphrates and bury it---why? I firmly believe there is a strong message to us in this story.
A messaggi from Jeremiah 13 that will answer many of your questions concerning the happenings of today.
What is really going on in Ukraine? Is this leading to the final days? Will this lead to WWIII? What is the best version of the Bible to read?
Prov. 3 says we should trust Him with ALL our hearts and ALL our ways but so often WE want to be calling the shots. Sometimes, because He loves us He puts us in a situation where we have no other choice but to trust Him and Him alone!
God has a very specific plan for how you can be healthy and blessed! Pros. 3---we will not only discuss that plan but I will also give you an update on Operation Mercy and the children in the Ukraine.
Faith and trust in the Lord is oft times something we say we do BUT not with ALL our heart. Most have a tendency to hold back that one area---our "secret place" where we simply cannot let Him have control!
Today I will share with you an update on our children in the Ukraine and two Bible truths God reminded me of this week
What does it mean in Matthew 24 when He says, "This generation shall not pass before the coming of the Lord?" What does you think about mask mandates, especially for school children and why do you think they are pushing it so strongly? Are we seeing the pre-Anti-Christ days? What about China?
Today I will give you a list of several things I am doing as we see THAT day approaching
Living our Christian life with anticipation is powerful. Anticipating the attacks of the enemy and getting ahead of him. Praying in anticipation---looking, expecting, anticipating the answers to the prayers we pray. Anticipating the rise of the anti-Christ---it's near---BUT so is the coming of the Lord---anticipate His return!
Not praying is like leaving on a 100 miles trip and walking till you are so exhausted you are ready to drop with a great, luxury car in the garage with a full tank of gas! You have not because you ask not!
We have a weapon that can move mountains, defeat the enemy, save our children and IF there is any victory over the wickedness of the day it is the power of God and we access that power through fervent prayer---yet so few are really pulling down that power!
As much as we are all "fearfully and wonderfully made" and each one different---God likewise places a "calling" on each one of our lives and we are suppose to use that "calling" to fulfill His will for our lives. How is the way you are living your life fulfilling His will for your life in these times.
Have you ever wondered what else Jesus has to do for people to trust Him. 1 John 3:16 tells us in light of His willingness to die for us---we ought live and tell others about Him. If He was willing to die for us we owe Him to trust Him!
Several have said, "It just seems to be getting worse and worse." Well in many cases it is BUT GOD! God knows exactly what is happening and He will never allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear---through Him! Keep looking up my friend! He is able!
Trust is when we put our faith into action. Talk is cheap and real trust pushes the envelope and takes our faith to a whole new level and it is oft times in the valleys of life our testimony of God's goodness evolves due to our trust.
Three words---each with totally different meanings. Faith---trust and hope! It is totally possible to have faith but not trust and not hope!
We all have trust issues---and we all have hope issues even if we say we have faith!
The truth about Covid 19. What is Valentine's Day all about? Is God a conservative? The Christian heritage of America and Canada.
How often have you ever prayed for mercy? I confess I was convicted after yesterday and in preparing for today;s program---I really have not prayed often for mercy! I think you will find my study that I share today very interesting regarding mercy! We need to prat fir mercy!
The Bible says we are to read His Word, study His Word but it also says we should "meditate" upon His Word. Meditate on how great His mercy is. Meditate on "how great salvation" really is! (Hey.2:3) He is awesome and to think He loves you and me and forgives us!
God's mercies never fail and are renewed every morning according to Lamentations chapter 3 verse 23 but far too many really do not understand His extent of mercy, forgiveness in fact the whole transformation surrounding being "born again."
Many believe we are in the last days and are wondering what God is waiting for? Today I give you my suggestions are some possibilities. Also, a general discussion about the mercies of God!
The raw truth about Big Tech! What is the real story of the truckers convoy in Canada. When is it time to back off witnessing to a person? Have you heard? They are now using lawyers for experimentation in Washington, D.C. rather than rats! A major prayer request!
Many have said, "I am so afraid for my children/or grandchildren" "I'm just so afraid!" Ps. 34:4 tells us to call on Him and He will "deliver us from all our fears" Today I will give you6 things you need to do to protect your children and grandchildren.
I hear from kids all the time. We as big people can lament all the filth Satan is throwing at our countries. The lies, violence, wickedness and perversion just to name a few BUT what is it doing to our children? AND---what does God say we can do about it?
With all the anti-God culture and the attacks coming down on our children this is no time to let our guard down! It is a time to stand strong and live for Jesus and to let our light shine brighter than ever. The world needs to see Jesus as never before in our lifetime!
Why won't more preachers tell it like it is? What do you feel the hardest thing is that Christians are facing today? Are things getting any better for Children? Do you think Biden will nominate Kamela for the Supreme Court? Are drugs ever ok to treat depression?
In the last days we are told that many false teachers will arise and people will be blown around with every whim of doctrine. Hear God, read and study His Word and know what you believe and do not listen to the wrong crowd!
YOU can decide to be happy and blessed! It is your choice. Paul said, "I have decided within my self." There is a solid formula in Ps. 1 for being blessed and it is all up to you and me! We have the choice to be happy or sad and down and depressed.
You've heard it called the "information highway"---and so much of it is lies. Whether it is lying politicians or lying news people or false prophets lying about what the Lord said---beware! Guard your heart and mind and know what the Word of God says! Watch who you listen to!
You are a composite of the 5 people you hang around the most. Who do you listen to? Who do you take advice from? Who is your spiritual guide? Do you know what you believe?
You are a composite of the 5 people you hang around the most. Who do you take your advice from? Who is your spiritual guide? Who do you rely one for guidance? Beware, there is a ton of false advice out there!
What is happening in the Ukraine? How much worse do you think it will get before Jesus comes? How can I be blessed in these times?
Do you really believe God can do anything? I mean anything! We oft times say we believe but when push comes to shove---we let go of the one and only hope we have for a certain situation. These are hard times BUT GOD is able and is still the God of the impossible!
Paul said in Acts 27: "Sirs I believe God!" Though he would eventually be shipwrecked and you and I may go through our share of "shipwrecks" in life---God is always there and He has given us a precious book full of His promises. Our choice is to believe Him and to read and study His promises and take heart!
Life, even for a Christian, is full of ups and downs. Trails come, attacks come---as a child of God they are promised and these are very challenging days. BUT GOD! He is sure, steady and has all the hope and answers we need!
This is the age of discontent! How do you witness to someone totally against God? What does Romans 13 mean when it says if we resist the "powers" of God we bring damnation on ourselves? Where did this era of discontent start? How should we treat those who oppose God?
Doubt cancels faith. It is one of the biggest tools of the enemy. Jesus said if we ask "and doubt not!" An ounce of doubt and you're out! Trust me, we've all been there and in this world it's tough reminding ourselves we are children of a King and He has everything we need!
The Bible tells us to be "ready to give an answer for the hope we have found in Jesus Christ." To "let our light shine" to be an "epistle read of all men." A street preacher---no unless that is His calling on your life---but a person people realize who has something different about them. A light. A source of hope in a world that needs to see there is hope.
Jude tells us we should "earnestly contend" for the faith! He describes much of what we see around us---even referring to the "last times" and challenges us to be "contenders"---fighters for right, standing for the Lord and His Word! Fighting for our children and grandchildren.
Do you believe in once saved always saved? What about backsliding? What about a person who totally turns their back on Christ? How do I find God's will for my life? What are the kids telling you about the effects of these Covid lockdowns? Do you believe wearing a mask does any good?
David said, "It is good that I have been affected!" Then he tells us why---because it drove him to the "statues" of God---it drew him closer to God's truth and he found that God had a marvelous plan and my friend He has one for you and me. Trails come only to make us strong!
Are you closer to God today than you were before Covid-19? Is your faith stronger and are you more dependent on His Word? Are you trusting Him more or are you more distant from His promises? You need to hear what the Lord has laid on my heart today!
At the beginning of each New Year I hear so many ideas about how we need to try this or try that. Especially this year many are hoping for some miracle cure for all the ills affecting our lands. My friend we don't need something new---we just need to follow the time tested, proven ways of God! They still work!
This week I was given two vivid pictures of what it really means to be born again and to know for sure heaven awaits those who die in Christ.
Why is there so much trouble in the world? A lesson on travail! How do I get the Tell it like it is Report? What is the truth about our schools? Is Covid-19 a sign of the times and things to come? A great truth from Prov. 1. God is faithful to the faithful! Look up!
Three times in the Gospels and several other places throughout the Word we are told we must "Love the Lord you God with ALL your heart, ALL your souls and all your mind." Your walk talks and your talk talks but your walk talks louder than your talk talks!
David said in Ps. 146 "Do not put your trust in "princes (politicians) put your trust in the Lord and make sure it is coming from deep in your soul. Talk is cheap but real inner trust comes from deep within!
Ps.146 David said I will praise Him in my soul! I will sing praises to Him. My hope is not in man or who maybe President. My hope comes from deep within me and my trust is not in politicians or political parties. My hope in squarely in the Lord and His power and promises!
The battle Satan wages is for your mind. "Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus!" Guard your mind. Set your mind on Him and think Biblically as we approach 2022.
How did once Christian America and Canada come to a place where so many hate God and even want to cancel Christmas? Is there any hope?
Have you ever sang the little jingle, "Every things alright in my fathers house?" Remember when you were a child---when daddy was home you felt safe and just knew every thing was OK? Well daddy is on the job! He is in complete control and every thing is according to His master plan!
Worry, fretting and fear will put you in an early grave. I'm sure you've heard it said, "you won't go till your time comes"---well many have gone before their time from these three killers when all the while Jesus was says, "Let not your heart be troubled. Trust me!"
The peace that passes understanding is only available from God! He is our comforter the "Prince of peace" the one who can make a way where there is no way. Fear not my friend---"let not your heart be troubled" He is in control and soon we will see Him face to face.
Heb. 6:18 says we have a father who can not lie---He is our "strong consolation" our "refuge" and source of "hope". Flee to Him my friend. This is a time to be focusing on our relationship with Him. Much of the world is without this hope BUT GOD!
What do you see on the horizon? What about the Salvation Army? What do you hear from alumnus?
What is going on in Ukraine? What are you doing in Kentucky?
Jesus said in John 14, "Let not your heart be troubled!" Stop worrying about things you can;t control---focus on the things you CAN and remember one of these days we'll be with Him walking on streets of gold! This world will soon pass but heaven is eternal!
I firmly believe the bottom line to the whole "mandate" culture of today is about control. The school wants to control your child. The government wants control. In fact, it all boils down to Satan wanting to control you in every way! Your choice and mine is: will Satan have control or will you determine God will control!
We are not all called to do the same thing BUT we are all called to do something. I can not/nor you do everything but we can all do that one thing God has equipped us to do. We are alive today "for such a time as this." What we have done---is done. Today is a new day!
Ps. 11 David asked, "If the foundations be destroyed what are the righteous to do?" Endure! God's word is right, His promises sure. The things we see all around us are all straight out of His Word. So stand tall my friend. Keep on keeping on and keep looking up!
Dear Pastor B, "My friend says I need to be baptized to really be saved?" "How much does Satan have to do with all the wickedness going on today?" "My friend says he is a die in the wool Democrat. Should I break off our friendship or allow it to go further like dating?"
If God had said the Job, "It's going to all work out. Your later days will be greater than your first." We could have understood Job trusting God because he knew God had a plan BUT Job didn't know how it would all end but he knew God had a plan and resolved to trust Him no matter what! We must do the same.
In Job 1 Satan has been up to his usual roving to and fro and God asks him if he has considered his servant Job. Satan reply that he has but that God has a hedge of protection around him. My friend if that hedge was good enough to keep Satan away from Job it's good enough to protect you and me!
Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday! Interesting---here we are a Christmas time. The angels message was "fear not" yet so many are gripped with fear. "Peace on earth" yet many have no peace. "Glory to God in the highest" yet so many do not glorify God. We fret and stu about stuff we have no control over.
Someday there will be no more tomorrows! We must let our light shine---do His will---reach our loved ones and friends while there is still time. We all must come out of our comfort zones, pray for boldness while yet there is time!
Will Roe vs. Wade be overturned? What to do when a loved one says, "That's good for you but not foe me?' A time tested, proven way to reach teenagers! Has God changed His mind on homosexuality or anything else?
The question is not how much you have done for God but rather did you do what He made you to do? We each have different callings and differing abilities---the question is did we do what we were suppose to do? Did we fulfill His will for our lives?
There is a lost and dying world all around us and we have the answer! One day we are told we will answer to Him for what we have done with our lives especially whether or not we were willing to "let our light shine" to those He has placed in our world! We may not win them all but the great question of the hour is did we warn them?
Gen. 18 Ten people willing to stand for God could have changed the whole story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Just 10 people willing to stand in the gap and pray!
They call this "black friday" and in reality it is "black season" but there is a way to really be happy during this wonderful time of the year!
A you thankful only when everything is going well. Paul said in Phil.4:12 that he knew how to be happy when things were good and when they weren't! We are to rejoice in the Lord always!
If riches and things can make you happy why do so many deathly, famous people kill themselves? There is one who can truly make you happy and give you an inner satisfaction and His name is Jesus!
Phil.$:11 The Apostle Paul laying in the Mamertine prison, one of the worst, darkest, smelly places on earth says: "I have learned to be content." That word content translates to "an inner satisfaction!" How can we, in this present world, with all it's craziness have that inner satisfaction?
Things will never make you happy. As we draw near to Thanksgiving we all have so much to be Thankful for. The letter from the mom I share in this program hopefully will bless your heart as it did mine!
"Why do you always date each program? Don't you think we are smart enough to know what day it is?" "Can a person lose their salvation? What if they out and out deny and reject Jesus?" "How do I get rid of these solicitation calls from people?" "What is the difference between the "Updates" and the "Tell it like it is" reports?"
It's real easy to look around at all the bad stuff happenings and even play "Oh ain't it awful" BUT nothing is happening that God does not know and is allowing. Look up and according to Ps. 40:5 try and remember and count all the good things, maybe miracles, God has done for you!
After you look around and see how messed up things are---look up and see that Jesus is still in control and loves you and is your eternal HOPE. His promises are sure and He will keep everyone of them to you all the way to heaven!
In light of much of what is happening around us a lady asked the other day, "Does anyone tell the truth anymore? Does anyone keep their promises anymore? The answer is YES---God does! The world is hungry for some HOPE and you and I have it. Share it!
Trails and tribulations are unavoidable but God promises to see us threw them all. This question was asked last week and rather than give you a short answer on the friday questions and answers program I have chosen to address it today in light of all the things happening today!
Where did the program training the young people at Freedom Village originate? Will Mr. Biden service four years? How so I convince a person indoctrinated in evolution that the Bible is real and true?
On this Veterans Day stateside and Remembrance Day in Canada a special tribute to all our veterans and their families
Hebrews 11 tells us that the way Moses endured is he looked up and say "Him who was invisible." We are told that this is an endurance time and as much as we may hate much of what we see we can endure but simply looking up to Jesus and realizing He has promised to never leave us or forsake us and is coming again!
The joy of the Lord is our strength! New.8:10 Therefore make no mistake about it Satan wants to steal your joy and if you let the circumstances of today make you forget YOU are a child of a King he has got you. God loves you and you and I need to "choose" Jesus!
Focus your attention on pleasing God and do not be distracted by what man is doing! These are challenging times to say the least and if we focus on circumstances and rake our eyes off God and His promises we will surely get down and if we are not careful turn to worry!
Your take on the elections Tuesday? What is the truth about the Critical Race Theory? Does the election Tuesday change the direction America is on? Should Christians be involved in politics? How does all of this fit into prophecy?
When was the last time you wept for the children? Today I will take you on a journey with our public school ministry and you will hear a testimony that will bless you and a very special song we would sing for the kids all over America. Thousands met Christ through this wonderful outreach!
Do whatever you want to me but don't you dare hurt my children or grandchildren! Remember my friend, God is a daddy---I really believe much of what America and Canada are going through is because of the way we have sinned against the child! YOU can do something about that---touch a child's life and be blessed!
We can pray which is our strongest weapon---we can let our light shine and be a witness. We can also easy the burden and reach out to one of the "least of His"
This is a yes and no question. Learn today the truth about your responsibilities and what you are not going to be held accountable for and what you will be held accountable for!
Am I my brothers keeper? This is a question many have asked of late and the answer is both NO and YES! I will try my best to explain today the difference.
Paul said in II Cor. 2, "I am determined to know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified." Whether it is salvation, heaven, forgiveness or any other subject---God leaves nothing to man;s interpretation! He spells it out exactly for us including that He is coming again!
One of the things I really thank God for is that He didn't leave us hanging. He tells us how the end of the book turns out. Satan may think he is winning right now and you may be struggling today but praise God the victory is already won and the final victory is coming!
What do you really know about God? Why is it important that we not only know who He is and what He is like but also the truth of His Word? Especially in these times!
Thank God the world didn't give it to us and the world can't take it away---one day soon---heaven will be our home. The blind shall see, the deaf will hear and the lame will run down streets of gold! What about schools? What about the vaccine mandates?
Have you ever asked the question, "Where are you God?' "Do you really love me---do you really care?" Oh my friend He loves you and He is right where He has always been---on His throne watching your every move and care!
Salvation is a one time decision that secures your eternity BUT when it comes to Lordship---that is another choice that literally takes a journey of a lifetime! You choose to trust Him and make Him Lord of your life---listen as I explain the battle over Lordship!
Ps. 62:8 "Trust confidently in Him at ALL times..." You may never have seen Him face to face but one day you will BUT He is there and on His throne and knows exactly what you are going through!
You need to train yourself even in the tough times to say BUT GOD! And realize before the trial, during the trial and today when much of what is happening may go against everything you hold as Godly and sacred---God is STILL on the throne and in control!
What worries you most about the nonsense of the day? What do you feel is the greatest need of the hour? Do you think this mess can be straightened out? What's next?
Is heaven real? Are my loved ones with Him? Will I see them again? Does Jesus see my grief? Are His promises true? Why did my loved one die? Does He care?
Why does God allow pain in the life of a child He loves? If you live on this earth long enough betrayal will be knocking at your door! One of the most hurtful pains is betrayal!
What a comfort to know He knows exactly where you are and what is going on in your life AND He is able! With men these things might be impossible but with God ALL things are possible. He is the Master of everything my friend and He loves you!
Happy Thanksgiving Canada! Lets make today the day we all DECIDE to rejoice and be glad. It's totally up to us! We all have many reasons to be thankful.
Are parents "domestic terrorists?" What about vaccines and mandatory masks? Can a person lose their salvation and what is the truth of salvation vs. sanctification? Happy Thanksgiving to all our Canadian friends!
Nothing great for God ever happens without Satan trying to stop it. David and all greatly used of God throughout His Word were Nevertheless people. II Sam. 5. Don't be a SNIOP! Trust God, go forward and believe in His miracles!
It is said, "When you come to the place He is all you have you will learn He is all you need." There was a day when Christians treated Jesus as their first resort not their last resort! Sadly, that is not the norm for many who name the name of Christ anymore.
Trails, tribulation, persecution are all part of what the Bible says is "normal" for a true child of God. Much of what is happening today is strange to us but not for those we read of in His Word BUT---"Let not your heart be troubled" my friend---we already have the VICTORY!
This week we will explore "What is Normal? and on whose terms do we judge "normal." Ours or God's?
What do you think about the vaccination firings? Is it pointing to the mark of the beast? What news do you listen to? What about all the tying going on? Are we getting close to seeing Jesus? Don't believe it because I say it---read the Bible for yourself!
Never quit! Once you have settled He is able and nothing is too hard for Him and you are praying His will be done---become a praying pit bull! Grab on and never, ever let go---endure, keep on keeping on till He answers your prayer!
When God says mountains He means mountains. God is faithful when we are faithful. Believe till---
Nothing is impossible if we believe and doubt not! God is not willing that any should perish---it is His will to save your loved ones!
The story of the boy who impacted my life and taught me more about faith than any other person in 48 years
The story of the person who influenced my life and ministry more than anyone else except Jesus Christ and taught me more about faith than anyone.
Peter was in prison and the church was praying but when he was released the people didn't believe it though that was what they were praying for! Acts 12:16 they were "astonished" when he was standing at the door.
How does someone on "death row" sleep so soundly that the angel has to smack him to wake him up? How did Paul and Silas have so much peace, facing certain death to sing at midnight? It's called the PEACE THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING! You and I can have it!
We need to know what's going on so we can be aware of prophecy being fulfilled BUT never take your eyes off Jesus and the fact He is THE miracle worker and there is a peace that passes all understanding. Peter was going to die or so he thought but he was sleeping like a baby in that inner, inner, inner prison. Acts 12
In Acts 12 James is beheaded but Peter is gloriously and miraculously saved. Why? Why is one killed and the other saved? If you have ever doubted what God can do you need to tune in today!
