In Christ

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is a beautiful poem written by Watchman Nee called "In Christ."

Outside of Christ, I am only a sinner, but in Christ, I am saved.

Outside of Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full. Outside of Christ, I am weak; in Christ, I am strong. 

Outside of Christ, I cannot; in Christ, I am more than able. 

Outside of Christ, I have been defeated; in Christ, I am already victorious. 

How meaningful are the words, "in Christ."

Is There Any Miracles In The Titles?

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is a perfectly legitimate question ?  

   “Is There any Miracles In The Titles?”

Is there any miracles

Preformed in the titles

Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost?

I know not of one time 

Of the titles being used

In rebuking the devil...

Or the raising the dead,

Or getting sins remitted...

Or Healing the blind.

The leapers or

The sick!

There were no devils

Recorded to be cast out

Or down

Or told to flee!

The devils don’t tremble at the titles,

They don’t resist the titles

Or flee at the mention of the titles!

But...

At the name of Jesus Christ,

All these things are possible,

And do happen and the devils flee and tremble!

At the baptizing in the name of Jesus Christ,

Sins are remitted,

Sins are forgotten

And people are buried in the name of Jesus Christ!

So what I don’t understand is...

There is no baptism recorded in

The Father Son and Holy Ghost,

None of these other things

I’ve spoken of has been done in the titles...

Why are you using the titles?

It ain’t in the bible!

Why are you believing

Man over God?

Salvation is Acts 2:38.

God Isn't Just The God Of...

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Don’t know who the author is but this is such a good poem! All pictures by Google commons.

God isn’t just the God of

Steeples

Prayer meetings

Well-paying jobs

Mission trips

Intact families

Worship songs

Sunday school

All those visible spaces.

The ones we show to the world.

The ones that look like we have our act together.

The ones where we will be praised.

He’s bigger than that. Much much bigger.

His heart is bigger.

His presence is bigger.

His well-worn, tenderness is bigger.

BECAUSE

He’s also and especially the God of

Oncology visits

Broken hearts

Empty checking accounts

Funeral parlors

Rehab rooms

Sleepless and fitful nights

Bathroom floors

Messy selves and messy lives

The places where it’s just us and Him.

The ones only He can really see.

Hear.

Understand.

Guide.

Comfort.

Heal.

The places of

Loss

Despair

Loneliness

Doubt

Fear

That are also the places of

Growth

Hope

Belonging

Grace

Peace

The places that nothing and no one else can touch.

Except for this big big, “very present help in time of trouble,” tender-hearted God.

Those are the most sacred places of all.

And some of the most beautiful.

How To Be Spiritual

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord! 

All pictures by Google commons.

1 DISCIPLINE. 

You must make yourself do things that your flesh doesn’t want to do. 

These are prayer, devotion, fasting, giving and forgiving. 

Speak less and listen more. You can learn from everyone. 

Taking good care of your bodily temple. Abusing your body through obesity or tattooing or piercing will attract the wrong spirits.

When you become disciplined you can do things you do not like doing, as though you loved to do them. 

2 CONSISTENCY. 

Praying and fasting, along with the other things I mentioned are not enough if only practiced sporadically. 

PRAY EVERY DAY.

MEDITATE DAILY ON THE SPIRIT'S WORK IN YOUR LIFE.

REFLECT OF YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE.

FAST EVERY WEEK.

GIVE/TITHE EVERY WEEK.

Be constant in your daily, weekly, monthly & yearly disciplines. 

This will crucify the flesh. Which in turn strengthens the spirit man. 

Don’t be a hit and miss Disciple. 

It’s better to pray 10 mins every single day. Than to pray 12 hours on Sunday. Then fail to pray for the next 6 days in a row. 

And you will see real spiritual results.

In Hell

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is the reality of those in hell, blessings.

IN HELL....

- Prayerless people pray everyday.

- Unrepentant people repent everyday.

- Rich people cannot afford any water.

- Proud and stubborn people humble themselves everyday.

- Jokers become very serious.

- Those who reject the word of God become the earnest seekers of the word.

- Those who don't like to fast do it everyday. They fast everyday in hell.

- Those who wear worldly and sophisticated clothes are totally naked everyday.

- Master and servant, Mistress and maidservant, Rich and poor, Old and young, Educated and illiterate, become equal.

- Those who refuse to obey God while on earth have no choice than to obey demons in hell.

- Those who are enemies on earth are neighbours in hell.

Don't wait until you get to hell before you do the right thing. Do it now while you are still on earth.

Roman's 10:9; If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Acts 2:38 

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Pray this way:Lord Jesus, I am sorry for my sinful lifestyle. I believe in you. I believe you are the Son of God. The very God who manifest himself in the flesh. I believe that in your human nature you died for me. Wash me with your blood and make me a new creature in you. Thank you, Lord. Give me the gift of the Holy Spirit and grace to live a holy and righteous life till you come. In Jesus name. Amen. 

Now, find a church that baptizes believers in the Name of Jesus Christ, the name given among men whereby we must be save (Acts 4:12).

There is no air in hell, because God is the breath of Life.

There is no peace in hell, because God is the Prince of Peace.

There is no comfort in hell, because God is the comforter.

There is no love in hell, because God is Love.

Hell is darkness, because God in the Light.

JESUS CHRIST IS COMING SOONER THAN YOU THINK!

Strongholds vs Demons

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is something that I found on the Net, blessings.

STRONGHOLDS VS DEMONS:

1. The word stronghold appears only once in the New Testament.

2. A stronghold is a fortress of lies that the enemy builds in your mind and emotions.

3. A stronghold is how the demon stays in, while an open door is how the demon gets in.

4. Strongholds are cast down, while demons must be cast out.

5. Strongholds are broken over time, while demons are cast out quickly.

6. The truth breaks strongholds, while the Name of Jesus casts out demons.

Rules For Young Men

 Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is a quote from William Temple, a great Christian who lived from 1628-1699, on the rules for the development of young men.  I hope that it will be a blessing to you.

"The best rules to form a young man are:

to talk little,

to hear much,

to reflect alone upon what has passed in company,

to distrust one's own opinions,

and to value others that deserve it."

Baby Dedication Poem

 Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is a baby dedication poem that my old church pastor, Arless Glass, used for years. I've heard him say it to parents over baby's for decades. This morning he passed away to be Jesus in Glory.  So I decided to share it with you.

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.

If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.

If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.

If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.

If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.

If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.

If a child lives with encouragement, he learns to be confident.

If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.

If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.

If a child lives with acceptance and appreciation, he learns to find love in the world.

Children learn what they live!
