Happy Anniversary 11 Years

Matthew 19:3-9 (King James Version) 3: The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4: And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5: And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6: Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7: They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8: He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9: And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adulter...

Going Back Into The World

Seven Unclean Spirits Matthew 12:43-45 W hen the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. Lesson: When God calls us out of the darkness He will clean us up and change our life. We are made righteous and holy before His presence. Everything that had us bound or had a hold on us in the world we are set free from. No longer do we want the same things. No longer do we want to commit the sins that we were a slave to. We are delivered from pain, bondage and sin. We are now saved and our sins are forgiven and covered under the blood of Jesus. We are free from d...

Prayer

Matthew 7:7-11  A sk, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Lesson: We can go to our Father and ask for anything. He is waiting on us to depend on Him, seek Him and wait on Him. God is our Great Provider and He knows what we have need of. He knows our hearts desire and He is waiting on us to line up with His word, that He may give us the things that we desire. It is only when we line up that we can and bring forth good fruit that we can began to see God's blessings. It has to be this way because our hea...

Serving The Master

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Lesson: Definitions of mammon: material wealth or wealth as evil, golden calf, materialistic goal Synonyms: avarice, gain, possessions, riches, wealth, almighty dollar, effigy, graven image, idol, mammon This is simply put. You will either serve the Lord or you will serve the pleasures of the earth. You cannot serve both of them. If you are pleasing your flesh and doing the thing that the world does you are a slave to those things and not in the will of the Father.   Serving mammon means that you worship material things, you have become a slave to it. You live for yourself and what you have, it is being selfish. And with everything you gain it is never enough you always want more. More money, more success, more power and this leads to doing whatever it take to get what you w...
