Sometimes we forget just how much God loves us. God loves us so much He gave His only Son to die for all of our sin and sins, past, present and future. Do you experience God loving you? Listen closely to this message.
Yes, it is possible for God’s children to doubt in the matter of their salvation, but also in the matters of daily living. This is the reason many Christians feel defeated in the Christian life. They simply doubt God. Let’s learn from doubting Thomas in the Gospel of John.
A Christian is a person who has been saved and therefore has the Holy Spirit living inside of him. One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is joy. Mr. joy lives inside of us. You might ask, “Then why am I not experiencing His joy in me?”
Ever since iniquity was found in the heart of the angel Lucifer, sin has aggressively spread throughout the human race. There continues to be an unseen war that in many ways affects us all. How shall we then live? Listen.

Sadly, much of the history of the real America has been changed. It has been re-written slowly and meticulously. This has corrupted our present leaders. We must return America back to the Bible!
Do you feel alone in your concern for America? Do you sometimes feel that no one sees the influence of Satan in our communities and churches? This message you will identify with. You can know it is not that you are old fashioned, but this present world-system is given over to the evil one. What […]
God’s Word is very clear in that we are not to forsake the gathering of the brethren together. This verse is sometimes used in performance Christianity teaching though it should not be.

The number one emotional problem worldwide is the problem of loneliness. Do you feel lonely? You are not alone my friend! The answer is here.

My friend, could it be that when we sin as a child of God that we unknowingly desire and eventually demand to be worshipped. This can be traced back to Satan where sin originated as we remember we were born dead in trespasses and sin. Praise the Lord, we are born again!
In many ways you will find that what you say to others sets the direction for your life and future. Let God’s Word and the indwelling Holy Spirit so transform your mind that it affects your speech my friend. Graceful speech is not manipulative speech it is surrendered speech to the Holy Spirit.
Here’s wisdom my friend, like a child, simply trust your Father in heaven, the one who created you to begin with and the One who lives inside of you and the One who has your eternal home in heaven prepared for you.
The moment you choose lovingly in your heart to say, “no” to me, and “yes” to the indwelling Holy Spirit, the very reason you were born will begin to happen!
Many of God’s dear children are privately wondering if they will go to heaven when they die. This has been a long-time issue even before we were born. Listen closely.

In times like these, what does the child of God do? How can I finish well in uncertain times? This message will show you how to guard your heart and mind at all times based on the Word of God.
My friend, in this world there are going to be troubles, it is inevitable. But God is omniscient, and He knows every situation you will encounter, He even knows how you will respond in the mist of those circumstances. We must rely on His grace in our difficult times.
My friend, it’s ok to love yourself. Jesus clearly tells us that we are to love our neighbor as ourself. The key is this, we are to love God more than ourselves, and our neighbor as ourselves. The life that really counts is concerned first with God, then with others and ourselves.
If you have a moment of weakness, you can suffer a lifetime of regret. As children of God how are we to Restore God’s Wayward Child? When someone we know really blows it. How are we to help them?
No matter the problems we face, my friends, God will use our problems to conform us into the image of Christ if we will keep our eyes on Him.

Depression is an emotion that effects every person on earth. No one is immune to having this feeling, but how we respond to the feeling of depression sets the course for how long it will last and what the results of it will be. How we think determines what we do and that will determine […]
When we practice His presence moment-by-moment, we will find ourselves …thinking God’s thoughts after Him. It’s what the Bible calls …having the mind of Christ. My friend, when we live with this attitude, and in this atmosphere, Christian Service takes on a whole new meaning for us.
Our submissive and suffering Savior fulfilled the will of the Father. While being beaten and spit on by the government, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously. Aren’t you so glad that Christ went ahead and died for you?
You can’t change the past, but you can make lasting changes. Jesus said that life can be an abundant life. Maybe in some way you have gotten off track. Today, you can start over with God.
Doubting always makes us hesitate. Hesitating always hinders progress. This is true in our spiritual life with God and with others. Doubting is caused by a faulty faith.
The future might seem to be uncertain to us, but remember God holds the future. God is Sovereign. But, we must recognize He is surely at the door. Let’s never give up making multiplying-disciple makers till He calls us home.
The Bible is clear on the subject of death. What happens when a person dies? Please listen closely and you will be both encouraged if you are a child of God and concerned for those who are still without Christ. Share with them what you learn from this message.
God’s greatest angel Lucifer, became God’s greatest enemy when “pride” was found in his heart. He then became known as Satan and he is our worst adversary. He continually works against God’s children. Learn about his tactics in this message on spiritual warfare.
God is absolutely in control of everything. We call this God’s Sovereignty. When we doubt God’s sovereignty we immediately rely on self-sufficiency, which leaves us with a heavy heart or with a misplaced confidence.
Sometimes people erroneously think that once a person becomes a Christian there will be no hurt and pain. That’s simply not true. If the Christian life is solely a life of bliss why did Jesus need to send a Comforter? The Holy Spirit, my friend, brings us comfort in our pain and empowers us to […]
No matter the problems we face, my friends, God will use our problems to conform us into the image of Christ, if we will keep our eyes on Him.

Sometimes people say, “I know I have been forgiven by God, and as far as I know I have forgiven everyone, but something is still wrong.” My friend, the problem is self-directed. God has forgiven you, once and for all. Forgive yourself of what God has already forgiven you for.
The Bible teaches the human race came from the first man Adam. We inherited sin from Adam. That sin separates us from God. Therefore, we must be born again, in Christ.
This message speaks of two rests. There is a rest from the burden of sin that comes with salvation and the rest from the burden of self that comes with surrender.
Our loving, Lord Jesus, in love, warned every person in this whole world that there are only two places to go upon your death. A place He called Heaven or a place He called Hell. Please listen, believe, and receive before you pass away forever. It’s your decision, alone.
To be a blessing to others you must discover those qualities in others that bless you and then by the power of the Holy Spirit … do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Humility is often thought of as a physical feature or posture. It is that appearance of someone with a poor sense of self-worth. Genuine humility is the life of God by the Holy Spirit having unhindered control of the mind, will, and emotions.
Jesus said, “We are to love one another, as I have loved you.” This love may or may not have loving feelings with it. You see, this is agape love (God’s love). This love is sacrificial, therefore redemptive, reciprocal, and reflective as we appear as lights to this increasingly dark world. God’s children can “will” […]
Do you feel guilty? You will admit that you have sinned and cannot explain your way out. Thank God for the conviction! He lives inside of you. This message will help you by God’s Word and His Holy Spirit to find a clear conscience when you have sinned.
Beware of blaming everything wrong on Satan! Remember, only God is omnipresent (everywhere at once). You can know, we struggle with our flesh (self) far more than we struggle with Satan and his demons. Jesus tells us to, deny our Self-life, and to be so identified with His death on the cross that like the […]
Everyone has regrets in life. Can you imagine what Peter felt when he denied Jesus 3 times and the Bible says, “And Jesus looked at Peter.” All of us still sin and we all can make mistakes. Listen to this message and remember, God knew all about our sins and mistakes even before He created […]
My friend, there is a way to simply change habits. How? Knowing this, as a man “thinks” in his heart, so is he … Purpose to turn your thoughts to God’s Word and He begins to renew your mind by the indwelling Holy Spirit. It takes about 30 days to drop an old habit and […]
You might be thinking, bearing all things is simply impossible! And you are correct, except, if the bearing and loving is being done by Another. You say, “I can’t” God never said you could but always said He would. Agape!
There comes a time in all of our lives when we simply need to step out in faith and do what we have only intended to do for many years. Walk intimately with God. These are the steps to a new start with God.
To walk by faith is exciting, but it can also be an uncomfortable experience. It is always a matter of trusting God completely. Romans 10:17 – “So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” My friend, faith, is simply taking God at His word. Do not fear, put your face in […]
When a believer lives totally surrendered to God, he experiences the fullness of the Holy Spirit … a victorious and overcoming life!
It is not our faith in God’s faithfulness, it is simply God is faithful. No matter what you do and no matter what this world system may come to, we must remember, God is faithful to His own. It is His perfect nature to be perfectly faithful.
Every child of God has the Holy Spirit living in them. Be a person who listens to the Holy Spirit and obeys the Holy Spirit. Surrender to God and say “yes” to the things He is asking you to do, and you will be that person who keeps in step with the Spirit.
Christian history records the stories of men and women who have gone through hard times. As children of God, He sent us the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, because He knew this side of heaven we would all experience problems in a fallen world.
I believe we are living in desperate days. It seems like we are in a moral and financial free fall and everyone is wondering when we’re going to hit the bottom. My friend, God is in charge. God is sovereign and nothing can happen that will escape His notice. What God allows may not be […]
God’s plan is to conform you to the image of His Son. We are to love justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with our God.
Our failures in life can be a good thing. It is through our failures that we are able to realize just how dependent we are on God.
Did God really mean for us to give thanks in everything? How can we, when things turn out all wrong? This comes by believing that God will forever be in control and will turn all things to His purposes.
God knew you before the foundation of the world. He formed you inside of you mother’s womb and safely delivered you to live on earth. Why did God do this? What is His will for me?
Trying harder to be loving with troubled people misses the point. God’s agape love “in you” by the indwelling Holy Spirit is the only possible answer. Let go and let God have all there is of you.
To feel or to actually be rejected by someone is common to man. The ultimate answer to human rejection is abiding in the eternal acceptance you have in Christ. Our Father in heaven accepts us 100%, not because of what we do, but, because of what Jesus did on the cross “for us” and “as […]

Adam was made in God’s image and mankind is made in the image of Adam. God made us in such a way that He can live inside of us by His Holy Spirit. We too, have a mind, will, and emotions. We have a personality and we are able to love and be loved. Through […]
It is impossible for a person to consistently act differently than how they see themselves. From the time we were little babies our identity is shaped by the people around us. Our life is like a painting. Who is the artist, and what paints did they choose to paint the portrait of your life? According […]
Knowing your true identity in Christ is the key to renewing your mind and healing damaged emotions which lead to healing broken relationships.
Under God’s complete sovereignty He gives man a will to make choices. We can wisely say yes to Him or unwisely say no. When we say yes to Him, He comforts us in our sorrows, renews our minds, and heals our emotions.
This message clearly explains who we were in Adam and who we are now in Christ. We are His poem, persons of notable excellency.
A closer look at God’s Word shows us that not only are our sins forgiven past, present, and future, but our guilt has also been dealt with at the cross of Jesus Christ. Listen and learn how to apply the cross to your guilty feelings.
God designed us in such a way that apart from Him we will feel a sense of loneliness. Take heart my friend, this is God’s way of lovingly asking you, “Where are you?” Turn back to God and walk with Him intimately. He fills our loneliness with His indwelling Holy Spirit.
Depression sets in when we live our lives without listening and abiding in Christ. God will deliver you from depression as you turn your thoughts once more to Him and his perfect plan for your life.
Worrying is like rocking in a rocking chair, you don’t get anywhere. Listen, and your worries will begin to drift away.
God is King, Master, and Lord, for sure. And at the same time we see in Scripture Jesus said, “Our Father in heaven …” My friend, sometimes intimacy with God escapes us because we simply have a wrong view of our Father in heaven.
Whether you are about to graduate high school, college, or making a lifelong decision about marriage or ministry, this message is for you. Listen carefully, take a walk, and take notes.
You know you are God’s child. But, like all of God’s children, you have sinned since you received Christ. You grew up in a church environment of well meaning Christians, but, they were unknowingly, legalists. My friend, be encouraged! We love you, so listen.
This is an urgent message from Ephesians 2. 1. Who We Were 2. What God Did 3. Who We Are Now. A must listen in these days we are living!
