Continuing on about coming to the Lord's table........Our scripture is from 1st Corinthians 11:27-30. In verse 28, "But let a man examine himself and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup."
I used to think that before I took communion, I had to confess every sin I could think of, then partake and hope I didn't forget anything. Why did I do that? Because that was what I was taught. Paul was...

I am one who takes communion nearly on a daily basis because of a revelation the Lord gave me a few years ago. As I minister to others counseling them to do the same, I find many do not follow through because of false believing or teaching they have received. I want to teach you some of what I have been taught about communion over the years and I pray God will illuminate your heart to what He...

In Revelation, chapter 4, we read about the Apostle John hearing the voice of the Lord Jesus, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." John saw God sitting on His throne, shining in all of the brilliance of precious stones and hearing the praises of the four living creatures who day and night never stop saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to...

I want to encourage you today. I know there are many going through trial after trial, not knowing which way to turn or what to do. Some of you have lost jobs, some of you have businesses and your business is slowing down and that may be causing family strife, some marriages are at the brink of splitting. Stop, take a deep breath and look up. Don't allow what is happening in the world today cause...

About three years ago, I was sitting at my computer minding my own business when God began to speak to me. He began telling me what He was going to do through me and where He was going to send me. And He made an interesting statement, saying, "do not fear even those who say they are in my camp." So I am passing that word on to you today....do not fear even those who say they are...

Shift. God is speaking to us through His apostles and prophets about the shift that we need to make in order to enter into the new. A new wineskin is forming and if we do not shift, we are going to be captured in the old. How do we do that? How and what are we to shift?
We are anchored to our past trying to reach into our future and that is not going to work....

Let's talk about love. Love. The four letter word that gets people in all kinds of trouble. I want to talk about the Love of God for God and the love of God for people, the love that brings truth, trust, security, encouragement and confidence into a person's life.
In Philippians Paul said "and this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able...

In the book of Exodus, we see the people of God, the children of Israel, become bound by Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Pharaoh put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, even going so far as to give orders that every male child born to the Israelities must be thrown into the Nile river. But God......
You all know the story ~~ Moses sees the burning bush and God speaks to him that He is sending...

The following is a teaching by Gary Wallin, who is a young man attending International House of Prayer school in Kansas City and has given me permission to post this.
Behold, God is great and we don't even know Him. Jesus said in John 17 that eternal life is to know the Father and the One the Father sends. We do not know Him like we think we do. There is a secret deception called pride that settles...

In Mark 12, beginning in verse 13, the chief priests sent some Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to try to trap Him. Listen to what they say.
Mark 12:13-14a. "Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch Him in His words. They came to Him and said 'Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach...

As we are all aware, the Lord is pouring out His Spirit in a new and powerful way across this land and the lands of the earth. His mighty angels are entering our atmosphere in a way that we have not experienced before. Great change is upon us. Things are never going to be the same as they were before. It is time for all of us to make some decisions.
Are we going to say "yes"...

In Matthew 9:13, Jesus tells us, "But go and learn what this means; 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,'".........
Jesus is telling us to go and learn. There are some things that we have to dig for and search out. We have to feed ourselves. Our minds do not shift naturally. We have to learn the deep things of God. The Spirit searches the deep things of God. If we want to mature in the spiritual...

Jesus was walking with His disciples, teaching them about the Kingdom of Heaven, showing them miracles, signs and wonders.
In Matthew 16:15, He stops and asks them who they say He is; who He is to them. He knew they needed a revelation of who He was for Him to be able to be who He needed to be in their lives.
If we don't have a revelation of who Jesus is, if we just know about Him, we will become...

Merry Christmas everyone!
The coming of God to the earth will forever be the greatest demonstration of God's love. It is the beacon calling every one to the very safest place we can be and that is in Him. His love draws us, woos us, continually calls us unto Him.
When you doubt His love for you, look at the manger. For God so loved.........you, that He gave. May we so love Him that we also give.

Got something from your past hanging on to you, crushing you under its weight of condemnation, guilt, self-hate?
Let's see what terms Paul uses to declare his struggle.
Romans 7:24 says, "What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?"
One of the punishments decreed in Paul's day for certain types of criminals was capital punishment, but how they administered this death was pretty ugly.
They would take the body of the murdered victim and tie it...
