Is There Any Miracles In The Titles?

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

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.

Marriage

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

This is very important, especially since I have already learned these lessons the hard way!

MARRIAGE!

Don't Marry Because of S€X,

Don't Marry because you are getting OLD,

Don't Marry because you are of AGE,

Don't Marry because you are LONELY,

Don't Marry because you Need someone to Support you FINANCIALLY. 

Don't Marry because you  Got PREGNANT for Him, 

Don't Marry because you don't want to LOSE the PERSON, Don't Marry because of Family PRESSURES,

Don't Marry because you Like the IDEA Of Marriage, 

Don't Marry because of PITY or Out of PITY, 

Don't Marry because of TRIBE, 

Don't Marry because you Admire WEDDING GOWN you See, 

Don't Marry because you Love KIDS,

Don't Marry because all your Friends are

getting Married, Don't Marry because of Physical/ Academic Qualifications. 

But

Marry Because you want to Fulfil GOD'S WILL AND YOUR DESTINY. 

I pray to God almighty to give the Best Life Partner to as many who Truly Desire to Marry with the Right Motives...Amen.

You Don't Like Your Church?

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is an article that is so true for today.  We are a world of complainers.

Questions to ask yourself before you start complaining about your church:

If the church service depended solely on MY worship….. how full of worship would the service be?

If the church had to depend solely on MY faithfulness…… how faithful would my church be?

If the church had to survive solely on MY prayer life….. how much prayer would be going on?

If the church could only go as deep as MY relationship with God goes….. how deep would my church be?

If we had to make it on MY Bible reading and knowledge……. How knowledgeable would my church be?

If the preaching depended solely on my response to the preaching and the altar call…….. how responsive would my church be?

If it all depended on me……. What would happen? 

Before you start complaining…….. make sure the you’re: 

The first one praying

The first one dancing

The first one reading and studying

The first one responding

The first one fasting 

The first one faithful

Remember: we can’t complain if we’re not being what we say we want.

God's Trust

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Faith and trust oftentime goes hand in hand.  It is certainly the case for the Lord.

GOD'S TRUST

God loves everyone the same, but He trusts people differently.

This trust isn't based on random choice but is built over time through our obedience during trials and tests. 

He might put us in positions smaller than our potential, just like Joseph, or He might allow us to face jealousy, false accusations, and rejection.

But one thing remains true: God cannot trust you until He tests you.

When we face trials and temptations, remember that God is watching, not to catch us failing, but hoping to see us stand firm so He can trust us with more.

How To Receive The Gift Of Tongues

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

How to Receive the Gift of Tongues

1. Receive Jesus as Lord and Savior (Jn 7:37).

2. Repent of your sins. (Acts 2:38).  Which means to do them no more.

At salvation, we receive the Holy Spirit, but when we speak in tongues, we release the living water. 

3. Your faith is needed (Ps 81:10).

Every gift from God is received and released by faith. 

As you open your mouth, God will fill it.

4. Remove the fear that you'll speak in demonic tongues.

Trust that God is a good Father (Lk 11:13).

5.  You speak in tongues as the Lord gives the utterance. If you speak as a baby and think that is speaking in tongues, you only deceive yourself.

6. Speaking in tongues is from God, controlled by God, for God's purpose. It's not about you!

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!

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! 

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.
