Threatened For Not Denouncing Christ

This is getting out of hand nowadays you cannot mention the Name of Christ without being called - out on it, yesterday my husband visited  Skynews website and was so interested in commenting on the Antigua Murder poll but all that excitement was short-lived  because he was not only disappointed after he had commented and his comment was submitted for verification but for his comment to be refused after he was told to wait  for a while. Why  . . . because he mentioned Jesus Name. . . Oh the Name of Jesus made them reject His comment! (What a Wicked World)   In case you want to know what his comment was like, here it is . . . Very sad incident, what a wicked world . . .  too much guns. . . too much knives and people willing to use them. JESUS HAVE MERCY!!! Their reply . . . Sorry your comment cannot be sent. As if that was not enough, I was watching Fox News this evening and a lady guest said on Studio B "Oh My God!" the the anchor Shepard Smith w...

A Remarkable Testimony

Friend, after listening to this video testimony, sent to me this morning by my very good brother  Sidhart at Imrah Ministries . . .  this was the passage that just resided in my spirit Psalms 103:1-6 , 1 Let all that I am praise the Lord;       with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. 2 Let all that I am praise the Lord;       may I never forget the good things he does for me. 3 He forgives all my sins       and heals all my diseases. 4 He redeems me from death       and crowns me with love and tender mercies. 5 He fills my life with good things.       My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! 6 The Lord gives righteousness       and justice to all who are treated unfairly. I knew within me that I would not only listen to this, but would also share it on this blog ,  for the wonderful people of God to see Gods awes...

Jokes For The Week

The Dead Church A new Pastor in a small Oklahoma town spent the first four days making personal visits to each of the members, inviting them to come to his first services. The following Sunday the church was all but empty. Accordingly, the Pastor placed a notice in the local newspapers, stating that, because the church was dead, it was everyone's duty to give it a decent Christian burial. The funeral would be held the following Sunday afternoon, the notice said. Morbidly curious, a large crowd turned out for the "funeral." In front of the pulpit, they saw a closed coffin, smothered in flowers. After the Pastor delivered the eulogy, he opened the coffin and invited his congregation to come forward and pay their final respects to their dead church. Filled with curiosity as to what would represent the corpse of a "dead church," all the people eagerly lined up to look in the coffin. Each "mourner" peeped into the coffin then quickly turned away with a guil...

What Stops You?

What Stops You From Going All Out For God? Dear friend, I praise the Lord for a brand new day today, I woke up this morning and as usual I did take some time to ponder on certain issues that have been been troubling me in my ministry and my quest to press forward, right in the middle of my deep thought,  the Spirit of God asked me this question  with this gentle and quiet voice. . . "What Stops You From Going All Out For God?"   I was startled ! the question came at a time, I was considering taking a step further in my ministry and for Channel Of Healing and I thought about all the procedures/processes I would have to face in my quest to move forward. . . that made me little afraid  and I was thinking to myself . . . What if this ,what if that . . . in the course of my head almost exploding with all the fears and questions I had inside, which was been repeated  consciously and unconsciously in my mind . . .then the Voice says to me again "What Stops You From Go...

Strong Delusion

II Thessalonians 2:11-12 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." Farrakhan Says He Is Jesus and Elijah Oh my God!!! this was what I was shouting as I was listening to this terrible message (Goose bumps) and it grieved  me for those sitting there and cheering him on (pity)  I began to imagine to myself what happens to those who have not heard of Jesus or are new to Christianity and they are exposed to this man and his evil message ? what happens to their faith? can we all reach them? Questions! Questions! Questions! All we can do is thank God for the bible and the warnings sent ahead of time to us all to keep us in check so we be not afraid but stand firm in our faith and be consoled  in Christ our Lord. God help us in Jesus Mighty Name Amen

Oprah’s unorthodox gospel comes under scrutiny

Oprah Winfrey’s beliefs can best be described as Cafeteria Religion . Also known as Salad-bar Religion, this is a faith system in which people pick and choose religious beliefs, doctrines and practices - mixing and matching them much as they would select food in a cafeteria Oprah Winfrey has become a catalyst for a new journalistic project and increasing news coverage by conservative Christians questioning and criticizing her spiritual beliefs. Some evangelical Christians have voiced alarm that Winfrey is introducing the 46 million viewers who watch her each week to nontraditional spirituality they don’t condone. In May, two dozen Christian newspapers pooled their resources to publish an article titled “ Oprah’s `gospel’ ” that prompted higher readership and more letters to the editor than any story some of the individual papers had ever published. In a first-of-its-kind venture, the evangelical newspapers hired Colorado writer and editor Steve Rabey to write the story. “For s...

The Seven Churches

Image
The Seven Churches of Revelation , also known as The Seven Churches of the Apocalypse and The Seven Churches of Asia (referring to the province of Asia , not the continent), are seven major churches of Early Christianity , as mentioned in the New Testament Book of Revelation . All the sites are in modern-day Turkey and no longer have significant Christian populations since they were emptied of Christians under the Treaty of Lausanne . In Revelation, Jesus Christ instructs his servant John in Revelations1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna , and unto Pergamos , and unto Thyatira , and unto Sardis , and unto Philadelphia , and unto Laodicea.   The Church at Ephesus: Forgot their initial zeal for the Gospel, also known as the church that had forsaken its first love   Photo Coutesy of Dick Osseman Photo Library Ephesus is th...

Man Miraculously Survives Accident . . .

South African Man Miraculously Survives Accident after Cancelling his Life Insurance So he could Tithe to Church By Aimee Herd: July 17, 2008 : Staff Reporter and Sapa – The Times "When the truck started pushing my car towards this lane (the fast lane) and it started crumpling, I just had this urge to say 'Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!'" When you see a photo of the car vs. runaway truck accident—that happened on Tuesday of this week, near the Buccleuch interchange in Johannesburg, South Africa—you might imagine there was no way anyone inside the crushed older model VW Jetta could have survived. (Photo: The Times) However, 49-year-old Absolom Morifi did survive, without any injuries, and he's calling it a miracle. Really though, the part of this Divine intervention story that makes it so amazing is what happened a few days before. While attending the Rhema Church over the weekend, Absolom felt a nudge by the Holy Spirit to step out in faith. "I went to church on...

Pray without Ceasing!

Image
The Scripture says in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing . By the Special Grace of God, I would love  for every child of God interested in going to Heaven first of all/  interested in living a God filled life. . .  which will in turn enable us to make the best out of life here on Earth, to pray and keep on praying and take Prayers seriously for we are in perilous times and the heart of mankind is desperately wicked especially today (if you doubt that. . .  read the news and look around you). we can talk all we want argue and show our knowledge of the Gospel over one another but without the power of Prayer we are going to be powerless Christians. Prayer changes things especially those things the meant devil meant for evil for us, God will turn around for our good through Prayers in Christ's name . We can talk a lot about Christ and everything we know about God but if you are not a Praying Christian you are not a powerful Christian and will end being "a cooked...

Amazing Grace

Author: John Newton Performed By Judy Collins   Amazing Grace Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound) That sav?d a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. ?Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears reliev?d; How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believ?d! Thro? many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ?Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promis?d good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease; I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who call?d me here below, Will be forever mine. Brief History on John Newton In 1780 Newton left Olney to become rector of St. Mary Woolnoth, St. Mary Woolchurch, in London. There he drew large congregations and ...

What's Going On?

Hi Friends I just thought I should share this little discovery of mine,  recently I found out that most bloggers on blogspot are moderating their comments especially those of us that didn't start that way, what happened? Did we just wake up from slumber and suddenly realized it is very important to moderate comments? what are we afraid of? has the World become too hard on us? These are thoughts that go through my mind daily. . . mind you, am quiet aware of the usefulness of these blogging tools.... excellent as they are though, but am just curious. . .  even though am guilty of  the same thing I still want to know. Not only are we moderating comments , we are also making people fill out those  Word Verifications ,  I must confess though it's nice and important I think it is tiresome in a way, I do get tired of the word Verification thing too  . . . LOL Don't mind me, just teasing you my friend. Have a nice Week and Godbless

The Pursuit of God

Image
This article caught my attention and am going to try and read this book " The Pursuit of God" by AW Tozer , I love the quotes by this great man of God and am equally going to try and read up more on him but for now you might want read this post by Mark Earley . . .  it is really a great read. Possessing Nothing to Possess All The Pursuit of God' By Mark Earley Christian Post Guest Columnist  Fri, July. 11 2008 06:54 PM EDT 1948 was the year the “Big Bang” theory was introduced, the game “Scrabble” was first played, and state of Israel was established. It was also the year that A. W. Tozer wrote The Pursuit of God—a small book, but one that has profoundly influenced Christians for the past 60 years. It has challenged me, and I hope this summer you give it a chance to challenge you. Ken Boa, who features The Pursuit of God this month in his tremendous “Great Books Audio CD” series, says that Tozer was “a modern mystic who had given priority to the lost art of me...

Bible Publishers Sued for Anti-Gay References

Thursday, July 10, 2008 10:51 AM By: Rick Pedraza A Michigan man is seeking $70 million from two Christian publishers for emotional distress and mental instability he received during the past 20 years from versions of the Bible that refer to homosexuality as a sin. Bradley LaShawn Fowler, a gay man, claims his constitutional rights were infringed upon by Zondervan Publishing Co. and Thomas Nelson Publishing, both of which, he claims, deliberately caused homosexuals to suffer by misinterpretation of the Bible. Fowler, 39, is seeking $60 million from Zondervan and another $10 million from Thomas Nelson. According to a USA Today report, Fowler’s two separate suits against the publishers claim the intent of the Bible revisions that refer to homosexuals as sinners reflect an individual opinion or a group's conclusion. Fowler says the deliberate changes made to first Corinthians, chapter six, verse nine caused him "or anyone who is a homosexual to endure verbal abuse, discrimin...

Glory To God For This News

Worldwide Marriage Encounter (WWME), which is active in over 90 countries and exists to give couples a “weekend experience” to recommit their marriages through “techniques of loving communication” centered on God, held its 40th anniversary convention on June 27-29 at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, Calif. "This is a way for us to reinforce the permanence of our marriage vows and the sanctity ...

Christian Group Ordered To Hide Cross

Image
This to me is very very sad  imagine labeling the cross  as  "offensive," "way out there," and "blatantly Christian." This is an example of blatant government hostility toward Christianity from OneNewsNow : After last year's Independence Day parade in Chesapeake, Virginia, several groups were allowed to set up booths in the city's Lakeside Park. Christian Rights Ministries (CRM) set up its booth, which included a 12-foot-tall white cross. But city officials ordered the group to remove the cross, calling it "offensive," "way out there," and "blatantly Christian." When city officials refused to respond to calls and letters from the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) on behalf of CRM's founder Steve Taylor, the group sued. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, ...

Church vs World

Image
   The Church and the World The Church and the World walked far apart On the changing shores of time, The World was singing a giddy song, And the Church a hymn sublime. “Come, give me your hand,” said the merry World, “And walk with me this way!” But the faithful Church hid her gentle hands And solemnly answered “Nay! I will not give you my hand at all, And I will not walk with you; Your way is the way that leads to death; Your words are all untrue.” “Nay, walk with me but a little space,” Said the World with a kindly air; “The road I walk is a pleasant road, And the sun shines always there. Your path is thorny and rough and rude, But mine is broad and plain; My way is paved with flowers and dews, And yours with tears and pain. The sky to me is always blue, No want, no toil I know; The sky above you is always dark, Your lot is a lot of woe. There’s room enough for you and me To travel side by side.” Half shyly the Church approached the World And gave him her hand of sno...

God's Holy Name

I was lying down the other day after much stress about something bothering me for some time now, and right in the middle of my deep thought, the Spirit of G0d says to me go to Psalm 9 :10 and I stretched forth my hands to  where my Bible was and  I opened it, though I have read this psalm often amongst others, the Lord God wanted to teach me a new thing that day about something I have not been  thinking about.  So The  Lord gave me this passage Psalms 9:10 Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you. I said Amen I was like ok, yes Lord! I know it is so true and I have practically quoted that scripture amongst others, but the Holy Spirit made me see the deeper  meaning in what I had just read, the Holy Spirit gave me  clear insight to what the Lord was saying to me in that passage and I turned the words to myself  as follows. . .  if I know the name of my God  I will put my trust in ...
