How To Get Your Miracle

This could not be easier. The Lord didn't make this hard.

Where Is Your Faith

Sometimes we just feel Life is just going to RULE over us and there's nothing we can do. Thats easy to believe when you have never read the Bible. I'm so amazed at how many times I hear people say they believe in Jesus and the Bible but they believe they are powerless when it comes to Life's Problems. This makes my job as a preacher so easy. Come now! Take time to start reading your Bible. See if people in the Bible acted like THEIR FAITH mattered or not! Beware! Don't ever read Hebrews chapter ...

He Made You Righteous! Its A Gift!

We worry so much about being good enough for Heaven. Will i make it? Sometimes we jokingly just assume we are going to Hell because we know ourselves so well and feel we are NOT perfect. These are actually good thoughts to have because it makes us think. What actually is the answer? Well, the Bible tells us. There's no way on earth we are going to Heaven without HELP. Certainly we've all made mistakes. That's a given. Some people erroneously believe that because of that God will just understand ...

Just Pray! It Will Happen!

There is so much unbelief in our lives today when it comes to our own prayers. We are so confident that God will NOT answer our prayers we get a little arrogant about it. Somehow the idea is we want to argue with God over this when we get to Heaven. Some will even fight you over the right tobelieve that God will NOT answer their prayers. You can't blame them or even yourself IF YOU WON'T READ YOUR BIBLE FOR YOURSELF. It's only natural to believe the worst. Ah! Good news! Take time to study the p...

I'm Going To Heaven Not Hell (part 2)

This is so basic! We are not supposed to be effective witnesses for Jesus is we can't even know for sure if we will even make it to heaven! Stop the bleeding! Read the Bible for your own sanity! The Scriptures will calm you down and you'll KNOW the simplicity of going to Heaven and not Hell!!!! This is one of the most dominating themes throughout the Bible is having a calm assurance that you will be with the Lord FOREVER. Why on earth (literally) did He come to SEEK and SAVE the lost if it was s...

I'm Going To Heaven Not Hell

So many Christians stay so secretly upset over this basic truth. We have all in our minds scared the living daylights out of our selves because we stop reading our Bibles for our selves. Let me ask you. Would you ask someone to go to the doctor for you or would you go yourself? Of course not! You would go yourself. Well go yourself to the Bible and find out if there's a way for you to go to Heaven. Of course there is! See if you can discover for to be sure you can GO! You will find out quickly a...

Jesus Will Heal You! See For Your Self!

Stopping All Worry

The simple truth is fear! We are so afraid of tomorrow. This world as Jesus said is full of tribulation (problems what have you), but remember He said for us to be of good cheer meaning be happy. Well its impossible to just say you'll be happy when trouble comes and not have any way out, but that's the silly things we believe about God sometimes and it could not be further from the truth. Jesus is a Savior not a consoler. He wants to save you from all your worries. We simply can't believe it. Ne...

Angels - Your God Given Protection

Our own unbelief is staggaring to say the least. We are no different than the persons in stories mentioned in the Bible. From Elijah's silly depression claiming he was the only Christian left all the way to Martha at the tomb of Lazarus telling Jesus that by this time Lazarus stinks. We are constantly fed a storyline in America that there is no God or if there is then Jesus is NOT the only one. We worship trees, animals and practically anything that our highly intellectual minds will conger up. ...

I need a miracle

We are so ignorant of the Bible at times in our lives. We gladly give up simple truths of the scriptures just because someone says that it is not forus today. This is so embarrassing to be so ignorant. Do we not take time to research something a doctor may have said? Do we blindly believe anything our news media says today? I don't think so. We research what we hear all the time but when it comes to the Bible we never look for ourselves to be sure. This is one of the main reasons I enjoy preachi...

Abraham's Blessing Is Yours

Its amazing to find out for yourself why all the stories about Abraham are in YOUR BIBLE. Some think it's only historical but that's only half the story. You don't have to be a preacher to figure this one out. If Galatians chapter 3 says you are blessed with faithful Abraham then it only makes sense to find out how he was blessed. Genesis 12 is where it all begins so see for yourself what the first thing God said He would do for Abraham. He promised to bless him and that meant financially too. A...

He Always Makes Us Glad

Why were the multitudes following Jesus everywhere? Jesus was always making them glad. We have such a pessimistic view of the bible sometimes. For all we know, sometimes we believe God is just an unhappy God. That's so not right. When is the last time you heard children quit laughing. When is the last times you heard parents don't laugh at the funny things their little children and even older children say? For us to lose our happiness is directly related to NOT reading our bibles or not paying a...

You Should Expect A Miracle

Why not? What part of reading your bible taught you to NOT expect a miracle? As you will learn the bible NEVER said you couldn't have a miracle. Miracles are for you! John chapter 1 Jesus told Nathaniel "You'll see greater things than this". The very last verse in John's Gospel says that if everything Jesus ever did was written down the world itself couldn't contain the books! Where have we been? We have been so embarrassed by our powerless Jesus but its entirely our fault. We tell ourselves sub...

God Wants You Protected

Yes He does! Jesus, His very Name means Savior! We have so limited our Lord. We've estimated Him today to be practically ineffective in our lives to save us from anything except HELL. Thank God we've not lost our faith in THAT, but oh there is so much more that Christ has made available for us. Our problem lies in our complete ignorance of the Bible. We claim we've heard every story but somehow we insist God is NOT WILLING to help us like those He helped in the Bible. Something is wrong with tha...

Turn Your Worries Into Miracles

Naaman was a leper in 2 Kings chapter 5 until he turned his worry into a MIRACLE. You can do the same thing. My suggestion is to read that story and realize for yourself you can have a miracle, too! How is it that Naaman's wife could have a little Israelite slave girl that KNEW Naaman could have a miracle and yet today we believe we CANNOT? See how far we've gotten ourselves from the Bible? We've got to stop the bleeding! We're losing the battle here with this kind of UNBELIEF. Start praying! Tu...

Angels With Me

The Bible plainly states YOU have angels with YOU! It would do us good to stop complaining about being so helpless down here in all our problems as though God does not care. He cares more than you'll ever dream. Our trouble is unbelief. We grow up knowing more about the Religion of Evolution and the Religion of Atheist than we do about our Bible. How is that? Simple! We quit reading our Bible. You cannot help but be the happiest person on earth when you read YOUR very own Bible! Its a book about...

Is Heaven Real? Am i going? YES

The Bible is on our side here concerning Heaven and getting there! We wind up continually condemning ourselves and coming up with all kinds of excuses as to why we should never be allowed to go there. Truth is Heaven is a gift and you're not going to earn it in the first place. Read the book for yourself and KNOW you're going! You'll have so much more joy in your heart KNOWING the truth.

Just Hang In There: Don't Give Up

The easiest thing to do is believe God is NOT going to help you. It takes work to believe He is on your side and that He will actually HELP you. Ask yourself why you are so tempted to quit. Why aren't you just as easily tempted to "Hang in there"? See this is not a game. There are real forces out there trying to get YOU to just roll over and quit. The forces are trying to get you to stop acting like Jesus is so real and just go back to accepting every little bad thing that happens to you and the...

Jesus Will Heal You

This is NOT some new thing. Learning Jesus will heal you NOW is easily understood when you Search The Scriptures for yourself. If you just took the book of Matthew alone and read all 28 chapters which would probably take you only a couple of hours you would convince yourself of this fact as well. Trouble is... will we read the book of Matthew and find out? Unfortunately, many will NOT. Thats about as smart as saying "if I take that medicine my doctor gave me I will get better, but I'm NOT going ...

Stop The Self Condemnation - You Have Mercy

We paralyze ourselves in our own thinking. Continually condemning ourselves for a seemingly major sin or even and occasional slip up is certainly not trusting in the One Who died to take all our sins away. We act as though Jesus will not forgive us for we won't forgive ourselves. Listen, we can't save ourselves. We have to have Jesus do it for us. You couldn't pay for a single sin by running around depressed all the time. David wrote in Psalms 103:2 "And forget not all His benefits; and who forg...

God's Gift At Christmas

Once we get beyond our own unbelief that God wants to help us we discover you cannot out give God. The Bible will encourage you all the time that God will give you gifts. Some people think just the gift of Jesus is all we have but even then they don't understand the gift of Jesus. You can't just have Jesus and not have everything else. Everything came when the gift of Jesus came. No wonder Jesus is all we need!

The Name Of Jesus

The Name of Jesus should be such a well known weapon in the life of every believer. Unfortunately it gets overlooked. When we read the Bible ourselves we will find out that the use of the Name of Jesus is literally spoken. Makes sense! Why have a name if you're not going to speak it. Jesus said to use His name in prayer and we would get what we asked for. Why did He spend time telling us this if we were not meant to use it?

Using Your Own Faith

Faith matters and it matters to you. Without faith it's impossible to please God. Think about a friend or parent or a spouse. Does my faith matter with them? Yes is the only answer. How would people treat us if we had NO FAITH in anyone around us? Easy answer here as well. No one would want to be around us and no one would want to do anything for us! Wow! See how your faith in God is critical? James chapter one tells us "let him ask in faith without wavering (doubting)". This passage here tells ...

Forgiveness For Me

This should be our first area of personal confidence and happiness but many times we just can't believe the Jesus of the Bible is this way, but He is. The Bible is the key to understanding your own forgiveness not how you feel or how others treat you. The trouble is many times we self condemn ourselves because we have made mistakes after we have been saved. Not realizing the Devil is called the Accuser of the Brethren in Revelation 12 and that he has been cast down we become our own worst enemy....

You And Your Bible

The Bible is a very important book for you. If there was ever anything magical in this world then its the Bible. People have all kinds of reasons to ignore it and never read it. From people who don't believe it even to those who claim they believe every word yet they don't take time to read it. God has promised if we'll but just read it then FANTASTIC things would begin to happen for us. Consider this... Jesus said in Matthew 4:4 "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God". I'm ...

God Made This Easy

Jesus is always going to care for you no matter what. He is always there to immediately help you if you will but only believe. John 3:16 is based solely on your trust in Jesus alone to take you to heaven. You can't ever be good enough on your own to go there. No, you have to have help. That help is Jesus. The further you get away from the Bible the harder you will make things for yourself but it you will but trust the scriptures believing they mean what they say and they were said for YOU then y...

Your Prayers Work

YES THEY DO! We have been trained by years of bad teaching that God just makes everything happen when and if He wants to and there's nothing we can do about it! That couldn't be further from scriptural reality. You will continue to believe all your prayer will not be answered if you continue to believe this way. Take Mark 11:24 for instance. How on earth can you "believe your recieve" if you have no idea whether or not God will get it for you because you feel He might not want you to have someth...

Healing - God Wants You To Be Well

Its incredible how much unbelief we have over this issue. We give every excuse like "its too difficult" or "God wants to punish me" or "I've sinned too much" or "I sinned one big time" or "God doesn't heal anymore" or "God doesn't heal everyone" and on and on we could go with excuses. None of them are right in comparison to the way the multitudes were healed by Jesus and how He instructed His disciples to heal from city to city. So where's the problem? Well, you tell me! Why is it that you don't...

Stop Worrrying! Start Trusting!

Easier said than done we hear, but truly it is easy, but will we do it? Well, the chips are down and yes we need to or its silly for the Bible to tell us to "NOT WORRY"! Worry is actually the part of us that says God's Promises (The Bible) WILL NOT HELP ME SO THEREFORE I'M SO SCARED! This is totally understandable, but we have to learn to TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT instead of just enduring our problems til they go away! Actually prove to yourself there's HOPE in the Bible for your own situation! Re...
