Come Sit Awhile With Me
We live in a very fast-paced world with many urgent and non-urgent voices pulling on our time and energy. It becomes more and more clear that we need to be intentional about hearing the one voice that can answer all other voices - the voice of Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 14:10 There are so many kinds of voices in the world, and all have there own distinct power of expression and meaning There is the voice of challenging circumstances, the voice of financial lack, the voice of
Life's Greatest Privilege
All of us enjoy and even dream about privileges in the social world or the political world, economically, in entertainment and sports. There have been times in our life where we can be amazed at special privileges. Privilege: The principal or condition of enjoying special rights or immunities. Also an advantage or source of pleasure granted to a person. Getting to do something you never thought you would get to do or getting to be with someone you never thought you would g
Doubters Dreamers Deniers
Jesus lived His dream and revealed to us that with Him on board we also can reach ours! We all have a dream, a hope, a desire and for various reasons we could begin to believe we are not going to reach that dream or may have never felt the courage to actually live the dream. John 21:1-6 – “After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias. 2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and
REST
Rest – a word that often seems beyond the grasp of people living in a hurried, ever-pressing, stressful world. The demands of daily life consume our time and energy, but God has assured us that there is a place of rest for the people of God. Three years into pioneering Faith Ministries, I felt this urgency to purchase property and build a church. With a handful of people and a small bank account, my wife Jane and I moved forward in our search and soon found a five-acre parc
The Best is Here!
The Best Is Here ! By Mike Walker Some people say “The Best Is Yet To Come!” But I want you to know that you can have life at its “Best” now. The Law was good and holy, but God showed his grace in the form of His Son that we might have life and have it at its “Best” now. I still remember the moment when God revealed to me that The Best had already come! God’s Amazing Grace revealed through Jesus Christ! It is in the hearts of men to please the God they believe in. But if
FRIEND COME UP HIGHER
It is so wonderful to sometimes just stop the business of life and its demands and deadlines and focus on the reality of where we are seated in Christ! This gives us such an incredible perspective to the reality of the high level of living our lives have in the throne room where God seated us together in Christ Jesus. You cannot get any higher than where you are already seated. When Jesus died, He went into the lowest regions of human darkness. He then elevated us with Him
The Grace On Which We Stand
In our journey through this short life, we encounter many choices and decisions that will then set the direction for the next season of our lives. Through this journey and the many experiences that we encounter along the way, whether positive or negative, we become who we now are. One thing I have discovered to be absolute in this ever-evolving life is the reality of truth found in the Holy Bible. I have also discovered that although the Bible seems to contradict itself man
GREATER THINGS
The life as a believer in Jesus is an incredible life. Even so, there are many who have found themselves entangled with life or with a negative “religious experience” and these things have somehow overshadowed the “incredible life” Jesus came to give. People everywhere are looking for answers to life; they are looking for peace and direction. The Spirit of the Lord has called us who believe to be a light that clearly identifies Jesus as our redeemer. This is why our enemy
CHOOSE THE GOOD PART
Jesus said to Martha who was busy “serving the Lord” - “One thing is needful and Mary has chosen that good part and it will not be taken away from her!” (Luke 10:42) Many well-meaning believers are very dedicated people who are serving the Lord out of duty in the hope of receiving recognition from God and looking to find their identity through their service. We find a great example portrayed in Luke 10:38-42. Here we see Jesus received into Martha’s house and this was a big
In His Eyes
Have you ever felt like you were walking in circles and making no forward progress? Stuck on the endless cycle of a performance driven life, always having a sense that you should be doing more for God and even carrying a sense of guilt or that your somehow falling short of God’s expectations for your life. Every religion is built on two ideas; God is not happy and we must perform certain things in order to please God. This leaves us with a human guilty conscience and the fe
