No Never Alone

The believer has been given a new name, a new promise but also a new power. We are heirs together with Christ and recipients of being sons and daughters of God by adoption. Yet, so many are powerless in difficult circumstances. Jesus helps us to understand how to retain our power and to realize that His personal presence is the most important thing of all.

So many believers are so fearful of serving God because they believe that as soon as they serve God, they will be attacked by the devil. This is an absolute necessity, but how does one deal with this process of dealing with an enemy at the gate.

The great enemy is not very creative. He uses the same tactics to cause individuals to look away from God and fall into sin. Jesus teaches how we are to deal wit the devil.

There are many interruptions that occur in a person's life. Many experience the interruption of traffic, construction and untimely calls but God interrupted the believer's life as they were on their way to a Christless eternity. He gave a new direction and set one's feet upon a rock and established their goings.

We have been sent as lambs before wolves. We have also been told that we are lights in the midst of darkness. God places us in a godless world in order to let our light so shine before men. A godly life is to be lived in a very difficult world so that all may see the goodness of God in our lives.

Many have believed the lies that have come from so-called prosperity preachers. The truth is that God supplies all our needs in Christ Jesus and from it comes the instruction on how to find contentment. The believer must come to the place where they state, "Christ is all I need!"

It has been 16 years ago today that my mother went to be home with the Lord. She is sorely missed but there is much to learn and to teach for others that may be going through the same time in their lives.

David at a time of trouble will teach how it was that God had formed a spirit of fearlessness. That same formula is available to all those that are willing to take the principles given in his Psalm.

There will come a time that all of us will breathe our final breath in this world. We all leave by illness, accident or age and some by acts of violence, and the question arises of what will be said when I depart. Paul offers up his final words as he is now ready to be offered up.

There are times that it seems that all of life is just perfect when in reality it all looks great but it is all temporary. The waters without the Lord are bitter and bad. The water that has come into our lives is sin and death accompanies it. Only the Lord can heal the poisonous waters of sin.

Following the greatest sermon that Jesus ever preached (the beatitudes) he followed up and told believers that they were the salt of the earth. This would demonstrate the great influence that believers have in a dark and decaying world.

There are many that have stated that God will never give you more than you can bear, and that statement is not true. There are times that the weight of this world becomes unbearable and crushing. Listen to this episode and understand the works of the God of all comfort.

There are many times that life will give us bitter waters to drink but God alone can sweeten bitter waters.

The one thing that will undo a home, church, business or nation is power struggles. When there are many chiefs the Indians suffer. God is to be the sole person in charge of the believers life. He places individuals in positions of leadership and they are to submit all authority in their lives to God.

The Christian life was never meant to be lived out and experienced alone. The life we live belongs to the Lord and we are to allow others into our lives to witness the goodness of God as well as the flaws of man. There are no Long Strangers in God's army.

There are many things that would be considered as problematic for the world but Jesus will address the worlds' greatest problem with the greatest news ever delivered and the greatest offer laid before the world. All this is because He lives.

There are certain things that can be done to guarantee success or to predict failure in one's service to God. Through the lives of others there are lessons to be learned in order that we learn from them and not repeat the same mistakes.

God seeks to bless individuals and there are characteristics that will be seen in these individuals. God is seeking individuals that are willing to trust Him and demonstrate the goodness of God thought their lives, longing and lips.

There are times that we spend much of our time and effort in continually regretting certain acts, offenses or missed opportunities that come into our life. God wants us to recover from regret and move onto victory. The main thing is to go and find David and serve the true king and build his kingdom.

There are so many things that seek to draw one away from a vibrant and victorious relationship with the Lord Jesus. One of the greatest is depression. It is a darkness that has come into many lives and this primarily is due to disobedience to God. The doorway to darkness must be shut by God's people and open a new door unto a willing and obedient heart before God.

There are many promises that are given to the believer in the Word of God. God has promised to place a centurion to guard over your heart and mind but this centurion will only show up to the individual that is willing to ask, want and obey God's instruction.

It seems that common sense would tell me that God could use me most when I am at my strongest, wealthiest and wisest times of my life. In reality God brings glory to Himself most when He works through our weaknesses.

We are constantly being bombarded with the threat of new drugs that continually are invading many lives and destroying many homes. Individuals that need drugs are usually running away from something and are in need of trying to bring some form of happiness or joy but the problem is that the fix is temporary. The greatest and most profitable addiction is when one becomes addicted to Jesus.

One of the most misunderstood topics of the Bible is healing. So many a charlatan has made a fortune by claiming the power to heal at any given time. Does God heal? You better believe that He does, but what He does and how He does it can be very misunderstood. Listen to the teaching of James as he addresses the subject of healing.

Nathaniel has a living encounter with the Lord Jesus and is awestruck by his revelation. The revelation that He knew him before they ever formally met. The truth is God is the one that is looking for us and not the other way around.
