Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God

It No Longer Fits You

Submitted by Rev. Adejo Edward – It no longer fits you

 

He loves her so dearly and longs for her, but all she does is, snob him. He seeks to be with her and pours out his heart for her, but what she does is, walk all over him. He goes out of his way to please her, but she derives pleasure in hurting him. He gives his all to/for her, but her response is, “what do I care”?

The Christian Recliner

Is there such a thing as putting too much trust in God? This is something I experienced and just woke up from the Christian Recliner. I pray this blesses you and wakes anyone else up from being asleep as a Christian..

I’ve put things that are my responsibility on His plate to handle.. i.e. “Whew.. there ya go God.. I can’t do this. I have faith in you to do this work in me! Praise the Lord!” – and what I’ve done is went overboard. I put things that were my responsibility on His plate. What happened? There was a misunderstanding of some recent studies on absolute surrender to God.

Daniel by Joe Savatore

Thanks Mike, this was a great testimony.. The original is located here: Daniel.

By Joe Savatore..

I sat, with two friends, in the picture window of  a quaint restaurant just off the corner of the  town-square. The food and the company were both  especially good that day.

As we talked, my attention was drawn outside,  across the street.  There, walking into town was  a man who appeared to be carrying all his worldly goods on his back. He was carrying, a well-worn sign that read, ‘I will work for  food.’  My heart sank.

Abiding in a Homeschooling Vine

Thanks to Karen Ruiz for sharing her testimony.

I really enjoyed this - It took almost twenty years of parenting to figure out that God has no set-in-stone formula to turn out godly children because when its all said and done, the righteousness of Christ is a work of God; not us. – This is indeed a tough lesson. Christ is the Author and Finisher of our Faith and Salvation. Prayer is so important..

I pray this blesses you -

Praying for an answer

Here are some additional thoughts pertaining to prayer..

“For Your kingdom come, Your will be done…” It’s not: “For my kingdom come, my will be done…” Our will is easily recognized – It’s self-centered and usually focused on selfish desires/selfish gain..

Here’s some personal experiences with prayer -

Prayers of Faith

Below is a submission by Mark pertaining to Faith prayers. He makes some good points on how we can damage our own faith when prayers aren’t answered. Here are a few scriptures that spoke to me while reading his submission -

James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Isaiah 1:15-16 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

Matthew 17:20-21 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Lastly, I recommend these 3 posts -

Thanks to Kat for sharing her testimony. I pray this blesses and edifies! -

Hi my name is Kat, I just wanted to give God glory for delivering me from mental illness.
