The Blessing of Abraham belongs to us as FatherGod’s Children and what a wonderful blessing it is. Some may say that this is just my opinion and is too good to be true, so that is why I have included a variety of scriptures in order to let FatherGod and our Lord Christ (Messiah) speak for themselves.

It is always appropriate to remember the numerous things Our Lord Christ/Messiah accomplished for us during His Death, Burial and Resurrection. Therefore, we Christian Believers are: Children of FatherGod (1John 3:1-2). Ambassadors for Christ/Messiah (2Corinthians 5:20 ; 6:1). Like Christ/Messiah (1John 4:17 ; 1Corinthians 2:16). Seated at the Right Hand of FatherGod in Christ/Messiah (Ephesians 2:6). Righteous (2Corinthians 5:21). Redeemed (Colossians 1:14). Justified (Romans 5:1,9 ; 8:30). Sanctified (1Corinthians 1:30). Reconciled (Romans 5:10).

[1Corinthians 13:13] And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Please see the following website for scriptures pertaining to Love, Faith and Hope. http://www.lovefaithhopefellowship.com/d_Love_Faith_Hope.html HOPE Where do we as FatherGod’s Children get our Hope for a better future? Let’s make a wild guess and say from our FatherGod’s Holy Word – yes! Congratulations we are Correct!

[Colossians 1:13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. A desire to be a good citizen of the Kingdom of FatherGod should be one of the main Spiritual focuses of our Christian life. HIS Kingdom is the framework that we should keep in mind as we consciously strive to apply spiritual laws or principles from HIS Word in our daily, moment by moment life. These spiritual laws or principles include: (1) Law of Faith, (2) Law of Confession is Possession, (3) Law of Sowing and Reaping, (4) Law of Living in Love, etc.

One question that Christians often ask is, "How can I be a Christian and earn money from a business? Is it in God's will for me to be an entrepreneur?" While no one can answer the question about whether or not it is right for you to become a business-woman or business-man, you can find many instances in the scriptures where the Lord God blessed the entreprenerial endeavors of His faithful servants. I will share one such incident with you, in which a woman looked for God's pr

LIVING BY FAITH, Part 1rnby Rev. Will Terry Moore, Ph.D. The just shall live by faith [Habakkuk 2:4] [Romans 1:17] [Galatians 3:11] Hebrews 10:38].

WHERE IS FATHERGOD? The following scriptures assure us that our Loving Heavenly FatherGod is always present with us HIS Children. Therefore, we are always in HIS presence and have access to HIS help at all times. rn[Ephesians 4:6] One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Note: [Ephesians 1:1-2] 1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: 2Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Loving Heavenly FatherGod’s Power is within us HIS Children and is thus always available for us to use at all times to bless our families and all of mankind. Please read the following scriptures to confirm this for yourself. Matthew 28: 18-20] 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

[Colossians 1:13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. 1. Citizen Privileges and Benefits in the Kingdom of FatherGod. Each Kingdom citizen has full access to every good thing in the Kingdom. WE HAVE AN INHERITANCE! Backed by a loving, wise and kind FatherGod who extends HIS goodness to HIS people both now and in time past. It is important to realize that everything now belongs to us as FatherGod’s Children; Join Heirs with Christ/Messiah; and Members of the Living Spiritual body of Christ/Messiah.

[Colossians 1:13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. As discussed in Part 4, in order to put on the new man we must first, understand the three-fold nature of FatherGod’s Children, which are: Holy Spirit, Soul and Body, in light of FatherGod’s desired standard for each.

[Colossians 1:13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. As a reminder from part 3, our daily responsibilities provide excellent opportunities to practice and perfect our participation as a Citizen and Ambassador of the Kingdom of FatherGod. Also, in order to partake of all the Kingdom of FatherGod has to offer we must first partake of HIS divine nature which is to imitate HIM and Our Lord Christ/Messiah and strive to become more and more like Our Lord, Savior and Brother Christ/Messiah in our daily life.

[Colossians 1:13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. The purposes of the Kingdom of FatherGod are two fold: (1) to help spread and establish Heaven on Earth (especially in the life of every believer), and (2) to provide for all of the daily requirements of each citizen (HIS Children) of HIS Kingdom (i.e., daily provisions). Please read below for more information on each purpose. Heaven on Earth. rn[Matthew 6] 10Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

LIVING BY FAITH, Part 4rnby Rev. Will Terry Moore, Ph.D. The just shall live by faith [Habakkuk 2:4] [Romans 1:17] [Galatians 3:11] Hebrews 10:38]. Continued from Living By Faith, Part 3. [Deuteronomy 28:7] The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. [Proverbs 23:7] For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: [Proverbs 4:20-24] 20My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

LIVING BY FAITH, Part 3rnby Rev. Will Terry Moore, Ph.D. The just shall live by faith [Habakkuk 2:4] [Romans 1:17] [Galatians 3:11] Hebrews 10:38]. Continued from Living By Faith, Part 2 Appendix A - List of Scriptures Referenced In Living By Faith Parts 1 and 2. [Hebrews 11:1-3] 1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities-his ete al power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. - Romans 1:20 Earlier this month my wife and I vacationed in the city of Vancouver, home of the 2010 Winter Olympics. It was the first time in almost 20 years of marriage that we travelled together on an airplane, the first time that I had seen the Rocky Mountains, and it was also the longest holiday we had shared in years.

LIVING BY FAITH, Part 2rnby Rev. Will Terry Moore, Ph.D. The just shall live by faith [Habakkuk 2:4] [Romans 1:17] [Galatians 3:11] Hebrews 10:38]. Continued from Living By Faith, Part 1. Our faith helps us to walk or live by faith and not by sight (i.e., the five senses and emotions). A good example is of this principle is contained in [Numbers chapters 13 and 14], where Moses, at FatherGod’s command, sent 12 individuals to spy out the land of Canaan.

My attitude is by habit, therefore I call it my Habitude. Holly's Habitude. Oh, and by the way, you have a Habitude too… Is it what you would choose? Is it on Purpose? Here are 14 Things To Do Today That Will Begin To Change Your Habitude Right Now 1. Write out your core values, do it right now. I’m not asking for “who” is most important to you, I’m asking “what” is important to you. What is morally important to you, what values do you want to your children to exhibit? What do you want others to say about you?

So much of the Springtime is about rebirth, getting back outdoors, enjoying the promise of emerging life all around us. It seems that with the longer days, the brighter sunshine, the colorful blooms of flowers and the blossoming trees all lend themselves to the backdrop for increasing family time spent outdoors. Spring is accompanied by the refreshed and renewed time of the vernal equinox–when night and day are just about equal. The sun begins its passage across the celesti

The Sea of Galilee is located in north-east area of Israel, in the Jordan Rift Valley, and fed by the Jordan River. It is also known as the Lake of Gennesaret, Sea of Chinneroth, Lake Kineret and Sea of Tiberias. Technically, it is a lake rather than a sea. However, at seven miles wide and thirteen miles long, it is no wonder that many people gave it the name of sea, rather than lake. The Sea of Galilee would have been a very popular place around the time that Jesus lived. It

rnAs I walked through the hospital room door, I can barely put into words the emotion I felt. The first thing I saw was my perfectly formed, lifeless, little boy. He had been placed on a stainless steel trolley right near the door. I remember this so clearly because it made me furious. It felt so wrong for him to be there like that. Time stood still for a moment, as I stared at him. He was perfect, he was real, he just wasn't alive.My emotions raced, from rage, to despair, to

My wife and I traveled to the United States two years ago for the wedding of two great friends, Neil and Andrea. After the wedding we stayed for a few days in Frankenmuth, Michigan. As we strolled through town and browsed the many shops and countless candy stores, we found ourselves in a small health food store. While many would consider me to be a bit of a fitness freak, I am usually quite reluctant to embrace special health foods, supplements and any kind of diet craze.

I've always been a music buff, especially the "classic rock" genre. Growing up in Toronto in the 1970's, my transistor radio was always tuned in to local AM radio stations 680 CFTR and 1050 CHUM for all the latest rock and roll hits. Disc jockeys back then seemed to have much more personality than they do today, each with their own special "hook" that made them memorable.

I never used to like the word "content". To me contentment was another word for laziness or resignation, an easy way out for those who were tired or afraid of striving for something more. Contentment was the enemy of progress; it was something to be avoided at all costs. Today I see contentment differently. My left ear is deaf to the sound of human voices, so I can only hear conversations with my right ear. Hearing becomes difficult and distorted in rooms with a lot of background noise. Would I want to have full hearing in both ears? Of course I would.

Through years of grocery shopping experience, I have determined that the world can be divided into two kinds of people: those who return grocery carts to their proper storage areas, and those who do not. I swell with pride each time I return my cart - and perhaps the odd straggler as well - to its proper place before leaving the parking lot.

Last year I was involved in a multi-car crash on one of the busiest highways in the world. Thankfully I was alone in my car and there were no serious injuries among all the drivers and passengers involved. Still, it took me a while to recover from the combined effects of whiplash and a concussion. The whiplash was easily remedied with some doctor-prescribed exercises, but the effects of the concussion were much more disturbing and harder to shake. For roughly three weeks I was disoriented and had tremendous trouble focusing on what were once routine activities.

I live in one of the most culturally diverse communities in the world. More than half of the people living in my city were born in a different country.

While it may not always be easy to place your trust in the hands of God, especially when it becomes a test of patience as well, there's no doubt that waiting on God for the right spouse is an important part of your spiritual journey towards living a godly life. Pray to Him about your feelings, and He'll guide you down the right path. Once you've found the one that you want to spend the rest of your life with, what can you do to pave that road to "as long as you both shall liv

News shows across America showed clips of American Idol star Adam Lambert’s overt sexual behavior at the recent American Music Awards. Almost all the clips were preceded with advisories and warnings. When discussed it was a single comment made on the Fox News outlet that beat all. When questioned by news commentator Bill O’Reilly on the Factor Nov 24, 2009 about the propriety of the act, Lis Wiehl said that she thought it was all OK as long as it was done between the hours o

RESURRECTION IS A LIFESTYLE - LIVE IT!

A couple of years ago, I ran across this saying, “Bloom where you’re planted.” Immediately, the wheels in my mind began to turn. I don’t know that this phrase was spiritual in its beginnings, but I automatically began to think about how the Bible instructs us to be “fruitful”. I began to ...

Attention Deficit Disorder, otherwise known as ADD, has evolved over the years. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV) identifies three main characteristics of the disorder: inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. While ADD stresses the inattention behavior, ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) includes all three of the categories. The DSM-IV lists the following symptoms of the illness:nnInattention:n1. Often makes care

Intuition is defined as ‘instinctive knowledge’ or an impression. It is sometimes even referred as one’s inner guidance or voice. Whatever you choose to call it, intuition is unmistakable, as it seems to be a part of human design. It perhaps can be likened to one of our unnamed senses, and believe it or not, you have the capacity to develop it further. Looking back into the past, civilization would not be as far advanced as it is today without this hidden knowledge. Many influential people of our past have given credence to their ability to lend themselves to this remarkable gift.

“Most of you are much closer to a financial fortune [better body, romantic partnership, car, house, prosperous business, etc.] than you are even allowing yourself to purely desire, because, in the thought that it might come, you right away begin thinking of how disappointed you will be if it does not come. And so, in your lackful thought, you do not allow yourself to desire or to expect anything magnificent in terms of money; and that is the reason why, for the most part, you

Mother of pearl is incredibly popular in the Middle East, making it a huge part of many of our most popular Holy Land gifts. That very popularity has done what greed and the desire for profit usually do, however, and encouraged many mother of pearl retailers to begin manufacturing "fake" mother of pearl (iridescent plastic) and market it as the real thing. So how can you tell when it's real and when you're looking at a fraud? What is Mother of Pearl? Before you can accurately

With all of the hoopla over Oprah Winfrey's "New Earth" webclass with "Power of Now" author Eckhart Tolle, it is no surprise that many in the Christian community are quick to paint Mr. Tolle's teachings as unChristian if not downright evil. nnIs this accurate? nnIs it fair to paint Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" as being in opposition to Christ's teachings? nnThis is no idle question for those that have found these principles to be useful in day to day life that also hold

The intention of this article is to shed some light on a famous passage of scripture. But before I do so, let me first ask two challenging questions: 1. If we were called to see the Queen of England, what would be our attire? Most definitely, If I received an invitation to see someone of such royalty I would make certain to dress for the occasion. 2. What about if we were going to see the President in the white house? In an attempt to put our 'best foot forward', we would have taken out the best suit out of our closets, or maybe even purchase a new one.

Christians around the world are preparing to celebrate one of their most important holidays - Easter. This is a time when they remember the suffering and the triumph of their Savior, Jesus Christ. Easter is a time when Christians remember and acknowledge the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Many Christians will celebrate Easter with family get together and a special dinner. Just as Christians are preparing for Easter, Jews are preparing for The Passover. While Christian

How to Overcome Obstacles to Goal Setting by Jodi-A Walker When people begin setting goals, they start out feeling motivated and inspired to do great things. They are pumped and ready to go. Then after encountering obstacles, in addition to getting caught up with daily activities and responsibilities, they begin to lose interest. they lose interest.They lose interest to the extent that they completely lose all interest in pursuing their goals and ambitions.

Jesus’ message was entirely about the Father and not about himself. He did not make an explicit and overt claim to deity. He did not say in so many words “I am God.” What we do find are His claims to his deity. For example, Jesus said that he would send “his angels” (Matthew 13:41); elsewhere they are spoken of as “the angels of God” (Luke 12:8-9; 15:10). There are many prerogatives which Jesus claims regarding His deity. Here’s what you need to know. First, His claim to forgive sins.

THE THREE ANOINTING SPEAK OF a) Justification : our being forgiven b) sanctification: purity of heart c) Authority and power: God wants us to enjoy the fruit of all three anointing in our lives and ministries. Let us examine some men in the bible who enjoyed this “triple anointing” or “full anointing” Example 1. Melchizedek “Your strength shall be renewed day by day…..you are a priest forever like Melchizedek” [Ps 110:3-4]

Self-Assessment for Christians Sub-Title: “Striving for Excellence through the Power of the Holy Spirit On the day of Pentecost Peter explained the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as foretold in the Old Testament, Joel 2:28 “I will pour out my spirit on all people”, and Isaiah 44.3 “I will pour out my spirit on your off-springs and my blessings on your descendents”. God had come again into this world, this time not from without through physical contact, but from within by hi

When confronted with a Goliath-size problem, which way do you respond: "He’s too big to hit” or like David, “He’s too big to miss”? How many times have we had to face to this menacing ogre? As long as we live on earth, Goliath and its sidekicks will always lie ahead in some valley waiting for our dare to cross over. New levels means new devils.

Let Go and Let God Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Now that we’re into this new year, if we’re not careful we can become stagnant or paralyzed by the things that happened to us in 2009. But, Paul reminds us that we must not settle with the disappointments, road blocks, and set backs of the past.

"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me." (Ezekiel 3:17, NIV)

Summary: In a calamity-prone world, we are one large disaster away from martial law. It can happen easily, due to economic failure, “natural” phenomena, or increasing lawlessness and a gun-grab. If you Google “martial law,” the 17 million results suggest interest in what may be impending. What happened in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina may be a preview. There was a gun-grab and if you hadn't evacuated as many did, you were not free to leave.

Leprosy was the most dreaded disease in ancient Palestine. This horrible condition slowly consumed the flesh of its helpless victim. Eventually the fingers, toes and other extremities would die, rot and fall off. The unfortunate leper was banned from his community. To prevent others from coming too close, the leper was required to cry out wherever he went, “Unclean Unclean!” the victim of this disease could only expect a slow, painful and premature death.

Brief History Of NLP Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) began as the work of John Grinder and Richard Bandler during research done at the University of Califo ia, Santa Cruz, during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Working under the direction of social scientist, anthropologists, and linguists.

God wants you to be a leader who gets results and makes an impact on your world! But how can you be that kind of a leader? The leaders must align their lives with the standards of the Bible. This is where we startrn---------------------- * We must handle money well, * Walk in humility * avoid moral compromise But even with all that, we can still fail to be effective in our ministry.

It's a talent that everyone has, yet they think they don't. The power of being unique. If you've ever marvelled at somebody's creative prowess, guess what, you can create and innovate too. It just takes time. Everyone is born creative. The box of crayons in kindergarten were not limited to those who possessed potential; because the truth is, everybody has potential.

Consulting God is the first step of Christian stress management. Prayerfully seek His advice for He urges you to call on Him and He will show you great things which you did not know (Jeremiah 33:3) and these insights will help you disce the right course of action. The second step of Christian stress management is opening your heart and life to Christ.
