A Guest Post: Abiding and Enduring
Hello, readers! Today, I am featuring a wonderful guest post by my friend, Melinda. She posted this on her blog recently, and I was touched by her words. I trust you will be, too. How do we Abide, Remain, Endure? By Melinda Viergever Inman ©2014 If we truly belong to Christ, we will abide in…
We Inherited Jesus’ Authority. Why Don’t We Use It?
We know Jesus gave us authority. It’s His and He delegates it to us as His joint heirs. It’s our inheritance. So, why don’t we use it? Let’s go further: We don’t know how. So many churches and preachers don’t teach about this. It can be a scary subject, admittedly. But if Christianity is to…
Can We Actually “Lose” Control?
“I just lost it.” “She suddenly went out of control!” “What happened? He just snapped!” These are things you always hear after something tragic happens. I remember the Columbine High School shootings fifteen years ago. Questions flew for days and weeks afterward. Everybody wanted to know how a couple of seemingly normal teenaged boys could…
Declare Your Allegiance to the One True God
Father God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit YOU are the one true God I will have no other gods before you. YOU are the one true God I will bow the knee before no other I will worship no other I will prostrate myself before no other. YOU are the one true God I will obey…
What Did You Say?
Have you ever heard the gift of tongues spoken? Did you find yourself asking “What in the world are you saying?”, like they did when tongues was first given to Jesus’ followers (Acts 2:1-12). Well, sometimes
How’s Your Perception?
Have you ever heard anyone say, “perception is the only thing that counts”? There is a large grain of truth in this. It’s their perception that people present on the witness stand. Different people will see the same traffic accident but their versions are different. Is someone lying? Is someone mistaken? Not necessarily. It all…
Perfect Love Casts Out Fear
What would you think if you perceived an angel nearby? Would you feel like you were unworthy of such an encounter? Would it frighten you or reassure you? Such questions – we never know how we would react, at least not the first time. We also can’t know how we will react
Comfort, Encourage, Strengthen
Maybe you don’t think you can receive the gift of prophecy. Let me reassure you that you are able (I Corinthians 14:1-5). Just seek God’s perspective on a situation and speak out what you hear or see or perceive. You probably will be wrong at times, especially as a beginner. That’s okay. You’re learning how…
Prophetic Swords
First, a challenge: watch for miracles! These gifts are not necessarily big and flashy. I’ve found some of the most important miracle gifts have been those that meant nothing to someone else, but helped me see that God was still watching, that He know exactly where I was, and that He loved me. This type
Covenant, Contract, or Law?
I’m sure you’ve heard the term covenant ** in the Bible. God made a covenant with Noah, vowing that He would never again destroy the world by flood. God made a covenant with Abram, and his descendants became the people of Israel. Nowadays, the most common covenant is made in marriage. It’s not a contract,…
