What about our foundations? What about what we build our lives on? How important is it? What we believe and how we act on what we believe determines the strength of our foundation, our life.
Jesus taught us in Matthew, chapters five, six and seven how to have a solid foundation in our lives. Due to lack of space here, I encourage you to read these chapters.
As Jesus was finished teaching the people, he said, "Therefore everyone...

Living by the Spirit. How do we do that. In Galatians 5:16 we are told, "So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature." God is guiding us, teaching us how not to live where our sinful nature wins, and that is live by the Spirit.
This is a promise. If we walk in the Spirit, we won't fulfill the desires of the flesh, we won't walk out...

More and more I am becoming aware of people launching out "in ministry" and when you check them out, when you begin to ask some basic questions, most of them do not even read the Word of God, let alone pray, seek His face, and develop a personal relationship with Him.
My question is this.....if a person does not read the word of God, does not study the word of God, what are they imparting to others?  The answer to that...

The Adoption Donna Potter
(Repost)Ephesians 1:5(NIV) In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ....Ephesians 1:7(NIV) In Him we have redemption through His blood.....We are adopted into the heart of God only by the blood of the slain Lamb of God.How many of us really know and understand the terminology "lamb of God"; the "lamb slain" and relate all of that to Jesus, His blood and being adopted. Here is the background of the image of...

The following is a teaching from Robert Sterns:
There is a ruling stronghold infecting much of the church where a lying spirit has entered our soul realm of past hurts and wounds and this lying spirit has woven itself around the very core of our personality producing sub-conscience defense mechanisms which have now worked their way into our personality.
"Oh, that is just how I am."

This past week, there has been some serious intercession going on in our church with the ones who pray.

All throughout the New Testament, Jesus is warning us to be alert, to be aware of false teachers, of ones who come to us in wolves clothing, to know each other after the Spirit and not just what we see and what we hear with our physical senses. In Galatians 2:4, Paul says, "This matter arose because some false brothers had infiltrated our ranks to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus and to make us slaves."Again in...

A revolution, a 180 degree shift is about to take place in the church.

As the sun dawns on this Mother's Day (or where I live anyway!), I want to remind all mothers of the love of God for you.

Sorry..............the complete title in my recent post did not come through.

In the book of Exodus, we are shown God's people in bondage to Pharaoh, who is a picture of the devil, in Egypt, which is a picture of the world.
The people of God are crying out to Him, to deliver them from the bondage of their enemy.  God hears their cry, appears to Moses in a burning bush and commands him to go to Pharaoh and tell him to let His people go so they can worship Him.
Moses was in...

Resurrection.

Luke 13:10-17 "On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years.

The bible is the story of two gardens.  Eden and Gethsemane.  In the first, Adam took a fall.  In the second, Jesus took a stand.  In the first, God sought Adam.  In the second, Jesus sought God.
In Eden, Adam hid from God.  In Gethsemane, Jesus emerged from the tomb.  In Eden, Satan led Adam to a tree that led to his death.
From Gethsemane, Jesus went to a tree that led to our life.
