Here’s a Scripture I would like to start this article with: “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” n 2 ...

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” n 2 Timothy 1:7 The spirit the Lord has given us is not a spirit of fear. It’s a spirit of power, love and a sound mind. Let’s see ...

How do you accomplish God's purpose for your life? Do you ask God to reveal His purpose to you? Do you fast for 21 days before you get to know God's purpose for your life? How do you do it? Let's look at the following points: Identify yourself with the Purpose-giver

Many of us struggle with knowing when we are ready to forgive. How do you know when you’re ready to forgive someone? When you get rid of your anger? When you’re no longer upset? When you stop hurting? When your offender apologizes or asks for forgiveness? The answer to all of these questions is “no” because they all deal primarily with how you feel. When it comes to forgiveness, it’s not about how you feel; it’s about the choice you make to forgive. Yes, forgivene

Many people who like to attack Christianity will tell a Christian that based on what their Bible teaches they have no right to mock or ridicule other people in any way. They do this because they want to set up a basis by which they themselves can mock and trample over the doctrines of the Bible and Christianity without receiving any sort of response. The Bible gives numerous examples of both Christ and Christians mocking unbelievers, but only when a given situation calls for

“The Twelve”: That is the designation commonly given to the first followers of the historic Jesus. The original 12 followers, or Disciples, are listed by name in the New Testament account written by the Evangelist Matthew. Following the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, they would be known as Apostles, Greek for witnesses. Among the apostles were fishermen, a farmer, a tax collector, and a revolutionary–all somewhat ordinary men. One of these disciples, Judas

Many people think fear is a normal and acceptable part of life. I've even heard some people say, "There's nothing wrong with having just a little fear." Nothing could be further from the truth. Fear is anything but normal. From a natural perspective, fear is associated with simply being afraid. But spiritually speaking, fear is actually twisted faith. It is having faith in the devil and what he can do, rather than having faith in God and His Word. Fear isn't just a feeling, i

How to Change Your Mindset to Accept and Plan for Success by Jodi-A Walker Success is attainable and achievable for anyone who has the mindset to receive it. Many people have not attained success because they have not prepared for, that is because if you fail to plan you plan to fail, or they subconsciously believe that they are undeserving of success. These are the people who I want to address first.

"For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise". (Hebrews 10:36). SOMETIMES WE GET FOOLED INTO BELIEVING THAT OUR DESTINY will just drop in our lap and the promises of God will automatically manifest themselves, but that's not the case. God does not refine you, train you, transform you, or renew you instantly. He puts you through a process -- a series of inevitable, successive events that cause you to be stretched to the utmost extremes and to go beyond your normal limits or comfort zone.

There seems to be a lot of confusion among Christians about the need to follow the Ten Commandment law of God. Many have been unable to differentiate between the ceremonial law, also called the Ordinances, that were done away with at the cross, and the Ten Commandments, which are ete al. This misunderstanding has led some to conclude that all Ten of the Commandments have been abolished and that we are now “Under Grace not the Law”.

I’ve had a couple of really interesting coaching conversations lately that have reminded me about just how many people seem to find themselves in a very disempowered state. The most amazing thing about how they feel though, is that it’s something they’ve chosen themselves by giving away power that is rightfully theirs. There are so many creative ways people let go of power that belongs to them and then find themselves in terribly unhappy situation that they feel completely un

When I started working for my last company, I hated the job. It was, in my opinion a non-challenging job with no opportunity to learn and utilize new skills or to grow in the position. I felt stuck, I felt cheated. But since my last job was basically the same, I also felt powerless to change the situation. In my frustration, I acted out. I was the rebel of the department. I had a chip on my shoulder that I dared folks to try to knock off. I took as much time off as I possibly

I pray this lesson from God will help us all fight the good fight. First and foremost, let us get our armor on. Armor We wil

Starting a New Church can be a daunting event for those that are not sure what is needed and troublesome for those that do. There are companies that will help you and there are many documents available (found on the internet and in bookstores) on what is needed to legally start a New Church but the ones that I have seen, do not tell you how to build the Church Membership to a level that will support the Church. For those of us that are just starting out, I have a suggestion.

With the tongue we bless God and curse men. "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to so be." (Jas. 3: 9 - 10) What does that mean, really? It's understandable that we should not curse our fellow men.

People often wonder “why didn’t God help me?” “why didn’t God answer me?” ”Where was God when I needed him?” Often the answer to these questions is that we allowed ourselves to become distracted. rn rnSome may say, No not me…”I prayed”, “I sought after God”, “I did what I was suppose to do” and nothing changed. Well then I would like to ask the questions what made you stop praying? What made you stop seeking God? What made you stop doing what you

What is character? Character is who you are behind closed doors when there is nobody else around you. This is who you really are. Integrity is who you are in front of people. People will see who you are before they hear who you are. On a daily basis you need to challenge your character. If you do not challenge your character your integrity will never grow. When you challenge your character, judge yourself.

THE ROAD TO MATURITY Spiritual growth is a process that takes a physical lifetime to complete and at times can be a painful experience on many levels.

For the past centuries there’s been a controversial myth about the kingdom of God that is to come. The miss interpretations of the end time prophecies have lead many astray. Factual evidence is about to be unravelled through biblical truths. The Revolving Truth Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom (kingship, royal power) b

The grand object for which a gentleman exists, is to excel in company. Conversation is the mean of his distinction, the drawing-room the scene of his glory. In company, though none are "free," yet all are "equal." All therefore whom you meet, should be treated with equal respect, although interest may dictate toward each different degrees of attention. It is disrespectful to the inviter to shun any of her guests. Those whom she has honoured by asking to her house, you should sanction by admitting to your acquaintance.

"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth". (Rev. 3:14-16 NIV) God always knows the spiritual condition in which we are. He says, "I know your deeds..." (Rev. 3:15 NIV)--there is no hiding or pretending before God. And it has always bee God's will that we follow a particular course in our lives, but that decision is left in our hands.

Is it possible to reprogram you brain with NLP? Can reprogramming the brain change our behavior? In our last blog post, we explored a brief history of NLP (neuro linguistic programming). NLP started as a research product conducted by John Grinder and Richard Bandler in the 1960s and 1970’s under the direction of social scientist, anthropologists, and linguists at the University of Califo ia, Santa Cruz. They studied the most successful therapists in the world – those who demonstrated the ability to actually help their clients transform unhealthy behaviors.

All across the nation, and even the world, there are encouraging expressions of an A.A. and a recovery approach that was all but lost for perhaps 50 years. New evidence such as rosters kept by early AAs, the contents of Anne Smith's journal, the last major talks of Dr. Bob and Bill, the revelations in the biographies of Dr. Silkworth, Lois Wilson, and Bill Wilson himself, and the mountain of materials now being placed in the Griffith Library at the Wilson House in East Dorset

One often asks about the likely gifting options for a religious friend. There are lots of meaningful Christian gifts ranging from a plain jeweled cross pendant to the Holy Bible. Like all gifts, size truly does not matter. It should be personal and grip value in the other person’s life. Here are some pieces of advice for religious gifts for women. The Bible The Bible is the most respected book in a Christian household and therefore makes the top spiritual gift. There are 2

Many of us reach a certain point in our lives and wonder if we’re really doing what we’re meant to be doing in our work lives. We begin to wonder “What’s my mission in life?”nnSome are fortunate to discover their mission early and never divert from it. Others seem to wander constantly searching for it. For most of us, the answer lies right in front of us, but we go through life missing the obvious clues.nnOne reason we become unhappy in our careers is, over time as

A Diva defined has mixed connotations both positive and negative, depending on how one thinks of themselves and expresses those thoughts to others in words and actions. Webster’s Dictionary defines Diva as Prima Donna [Italian – goddess; Latin – divine, god]. Prima Donna is defined as a principal female singer (as in an opera); and an extremely sensitive, vain, or undisciplined person [Italian – first lady].

Our inner beings are like mirrors that should be regularly polished in order to shine. But as we go through our daily lives, it is often easy to forget how essential is our continuous spiritual growth. Some may take a break from their daily lives to conduct holy land tours or to explore other cultures and countries. While travelling is a wonderful option, it is also possible to find the balance between our daily duties and our own spiritual growth right at home and create a p

I’m going to start off this teaching by reading a letter written from a certain individual to his future son-in-law.nn“Dear Shane, I have been unable to sleep since I broke off your engagement to my daughter. Will you forgive and forget? I was much too sensitive about your Mohawk, tattoos and pierced nose. I now realize that motorcycles aren’t really that dangerous, and I really should not have reacted that way to the fact that you have never held a job. I am sure, too,

This is a little formula for effective prayer that, if you will follow it, will bring about the desired results. For the first slice of "bread" in this sandwich, you are to "enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise." (Psalm 100:4) Acknowledge Who He is, e.g., You are the Lord who heals, You are the Lord who protects and keeps us safe, etc. (Notice you're putting the Lord first.) How do you come with thanksgiving and praise? That's easy. Just look

Do you wonder if there is a certain time of day that is best for Bible reading and prayer? Many Christians set aside a special time each day to be alone with God. In some circles this is known as "Quiet Time" or "Daily Devotions" and is typically spent reading the Bible and praying. Perhaps you have given thought to cultivating such a practice. If so, I applaud you and wish you much success in the pursuit of a daily meeting with God. But if you're busy, as most of us are, it

Summary: Most quotes on medical deaths are based on data 20 years old when 106,000 deaths were reported in hospitals from Adverse Drug Reactions defined as “properly prescribed and administered,” which means it was not from MD or RN error. It's shocking to consider, but thousands are made sick daily and this article updates the deaths and illness dramatically.

Worry is the quiet little worm that chews holes into the ship of life. It is small the drip in the roof that keeps you awake at night. It even afflicts Christians. Worry may be prodded and poked by the accumulation of stresses from commutes and work and grades and kids and relationships and money and health and bad things that happen in our world. We may worry over a decision or decisions that may bring loss as well as gain. We may worry because we feel threatened, for exampl

ERRONEOUS BELIEFS AND REVELATIONS

In 1895, the United States Supreme Court noted that: The principle that there is a presumption of innocence in favor of the accused is the undoubted law, axiomatic and elementary, and its enforcement lies at the foundation of the administration of our criminal law. The Coffin Court, after stating this principle, pointed out that the concept is so well-established that “[i]t is stated as unquestioned in the text-books” and went on to explain that the presumption of innocence

Millions suffer from caffeine, and stay addicted because they fear withdrawal symptoms, but the sooner they make the break, the better their health, says Richard Ruhling, MD who taught Health Science at Loma Linda University. “Caffeine is the most common but unrecognized cause of health problems in America, and a major contributor to the high cost of medical care. When something is good for the body like exercise, it aids the body many ways, but when something is bad for the body, like caffeine, it causes many problems as can be seen,” says Ruhling who offers the following list:

I'm sure most of us are aware that the stats for marriages ending in divorce are at least one out of two in America! These stats are the same whether you go to church or not! What? How can the divorce rate be the same for Christians?! Then... I heard Dr. Phil confirm what I used to wonder about. If your beliefs don't dictate the way you live - except to go to church on Sunday - then you really are no different than a non-believer, and neither is your marriage. Did you know that Dr.

How to Overcome Mental Obstacles, Destructive Criticisms, and Negative Judgments "The only infallible criterion of wisdom to vulgar judgments--success." -Edmund Burke, Letter to a Member of the National Assembly, 1791. No one needs to tell you that it is difficult to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. No one needs to tell you that it is an almost impossible task to overcome the odds that are stacked against you. No one needs to tell you that it is a daunting task to overcome a brick wall that is determined to hinder and block your path.

The artist’s expression of his inner self is hidden in the art and the beauty of his painting. Look deep enough into any type of art, and you will find the mystery of an invisible dream that started of in a single seed in the heart and the very essence of the architect. If we gaze upon various arts, we might not understand the zeal and power of the hidden seed, which responded to the prophetic voice of his creator. The artist’s expression of his inner self is hidden in the

Corinthians 6:19-20 (New International Version) 19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. “Your surroundings, home, personal care, pets, clothing, and body are all reflections of how you see and express yourself. Do these reflect your true self?” – Christine Northrup, M.D. What would you think of a person that cam

As human beings we interact with each other as well as with our environment and general circumstances in life, not realizing that every precious moment is a significant event designed to develop a vitally important part of our make-up. DON’T TELL ME YOU’RE NOT A COLLECTOR Perhaps you’ve never come to realize it, but you’ve been a collector of marbles all of your life. Without them you will have been but an empty shell of a human being. There might have been times when the stresses of life have made you go a little “crazy”, causing other people to say, “He’s lost some of his marbles.”
