Romans 6:11 – Be ALIVE TO GOD, alert to Him, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
This was one of my own earthly Father’s quotes: ‘It will be worth it all when we see Jesus’ – Pastor Ed Roebert, 17 November 1991 You may be hesitant to let God use you, BUT it will all be worth it when you see Jesus. Perhaps you have been used by God, but now you are…
In Psalm 74 we read how destruction came to Israel. God appeared to be doing nothing to stop the onslaught. The Psalmist writes in Psalm 74:11 ‘Why do You hold back Your hand, Your right hand? Take it from the folds of Your garment and destroy them!’ God, of course, had not dropped them. But this scripture…
God has unusual qualifications for people who He uses. What may be the requirements that the world has, often times means little to God. God is in the business of using those people who are unlikely candidates. I am so glad about this, because this means that God can use me. 1 Corinthians 1:27 But God…
Read 1 Kings 3:1-13 Often we allow what we think about ourselves to stop God’s purposes for us. The great Solomon of the Bible seemed to think he was inferior and ill-prepared for what God had planned for him. 1 Kings 3:7 ‘I am like a little child who doesn’t know his way around.’ He may have…
Many people long to be used by God. Yet many people find this aspect illusive. But God is ready to use you. Perhaps it starts when God calls us to increase in our effectiveness. Many times, before God uses us, we go through a process of stripping, when things seem to go anywhere but where…
Praising God should be our lifestyle of choice. We should ‘bless the Lord at all times’! Psalm 34:1 ‘I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.’ We should praise and bless the Lord at ALL times. This includes the good times and the bad times. The times of…
God wants to come through for us. Mark 11:24 Listen to me! You can pray for anything, and if you believe, you have it; it’s yours! BELIEVE is a strange word – but I believe we must believe God in three areas: A. Believe in the CHARACTER of God. He is faithful and He does…
When we talk to God we can ask Him for those things that we may need. I am so glad that we can approach God in this way. Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go away by yourself, all alone, and shut the door behind you and pray to your Father secretly, and your Father,…
The Bibles calls God the ‘Father of compassion!’ But what is compassion? Definition: Compassion – ‘The sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it!’ This word ‘compassion’ comes from the Greek root word oiktirmos which includes aspects of pity, compassion, favor, grace and mercy and is translated in English as ‘compassion’! This word…
Comfort for me is having exactly what I need when I need it! That is comfort. As a small child I would battle with sadness. It happened for no apparent reason. I would just become sad. My mother would be able to identify it when it happened. It was no good if people asked me…
