A Day of Prayer - Praying For Our Nation
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] On the early morning of September 26, 2008, I had two dreams, which sparked me to do something that I have never done before. God instructed my wife and I to close our business for the day and dedicate the entire day to praying for our nation. This is the day that our leaders must make God given decisions in order to save our nation from financial disaster. The scriptures that God instructed us to pray are in II Kings Chapters 18-20. As we studied the scriptures above we saw exactly what to pray and speak over our nation in troubled times.

All Things Are Possible

The Holy Spirit will teach you to walk like Jesus walked on earth if you will allow Him. He will teach you to be a true witness of Christ, an exact image of God.

Let This Mind Be in You - Thinking Like God Thinks
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Philippians 2:5-6 states, Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. This is how God wants you to think about yourself. God wants you to see yourself on his level and in his form. If you will take the time and apply the effort to allow your mind to think like this, you will never be the same again. You will see everything from a different view.

The Power To Raise The Dead Part II - Not For Casual Users
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Acts 4:33, And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Qualifications must be met in order for God's power and great grace to raise the dead to be manifested. We know that the twelve Apostles had this power and great grace operating in their lives, so lets look at how they lived.

The Power To Raise The Dead
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] The Apostle Paul make this statement before King Agrippa when the king asked him to speak on his own behalf in Acts 10:8, "Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?" My question is, Why would not God still raise the dead today?

It will take extra money and being a wise spender to enjoy the things out of the classroom. Below are some suggestions that will give some ideas on how to have the funds to enjoy the college life and still have time for your studies.

College Planning - Colleges Looking For Students That Challenge Themselves
[Reference-and-Education:College-University] Colleges are looking for students that challenge themselves in high school to go higher. When the opportunity arises, take advance courses in your strong subjects. Recognize your strengths and weaknesses. Make your weakness firm by applying more effort. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Strengths are good but weaknesses can hold you back from obtaining goals. Choose your path according to you strengths. In the long run it is your strengths that will prosper you. Be balanced.

Positioning Yourself To Receive
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] In order to receive anything from the Lord you must first put yourself in a position to receive from Him. A good example of this in the Bible is found in Luke 19:1-10 where we read about a man by the name of Zacchaeus, who was the richest of all the tax collectors and was a sinner but he was also a son of Abraham. What he did caused salvation to come to his entire house in one day.

Great Expectations - God's Riches Are For You
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] God has great expectations for you. Jeremiah 29:11 states, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an EXPECTED END. God has great plans for you. Wealth and riches are apart of God's expectations for you. This book called the Bible is full of what God expects to bless you with. In order for Him to do it you, must expect His expectations to come to pass in your life.

Your Confession Of Wealth - You Can Have What You Say
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] (Confess this boldly several times a day) Yesterday is gone forever and tomorrow will never come, therefore, Today is my day of salvation. The set time for God to favor me is come. This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvelous in my eyes. Today is the day which the LORD has made; I rejoice and am glad today. Save today LORD: send prosperity today.....

Why Jesus Came
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] The reason Jesus came was to restore man and his position in God back to the original state that Adam had when He was created found in Genesis. This is why God had to become a man, the Man Christ Jesus, the second Adam. Before the fall, Adam was crowned with glory. He was the exact image and likeness of his Creator. Adam was to dominate all things by the words of his mouth just like his Father God. He was the express image of his Father's glory. Adam had been given all things to rule over up to but not including God Himself and His throne.

Your Money Is Your Seed - Don't Eat It -Plant It
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Where does seed come from? II Corinthians 9:10 tells us. " Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown..." Seed comes from God. Seedtime and harvest is God's idea not man's. We must first receive from God before we can give. Everything that we have spirit, soul, body, all material things, all money and above all every revelation we get from the word of God have been ministered to us from God as seed. We must receive all these things as seed and be willing to plant at any time.

Speaking Mysteries - Talking To God
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] As long as Jesus was in the earth He could explain to a point the mysteries of the kingdom of God to His disciples but he told them that it was expedient that He go away because if He go away He would send the Spirit of Truth to the them that would teach them all the truth. He told them that He had many things to say to them but they could not understand them now, meaning that without the Holy Spirit dwelling in them these mysteries could not be fully revealed. Jesus also said of the Holy Spirit that He would not speak of himself but whatsoever he hear me say that shall he speak.

Don't Let Jesus Sleep In Your Boat
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Sometimes we go through all the right motions as it were, and say all the right things yet we still sail off course. It could be the wind of doctrine blowing us off course or it could be a lack of wisdom causing us to be tossed to and fro like a wave of the sea or it could be a storm sent by the enemy to blow us off course. What ever it is that gets us off course we need to call on the Lord to help us get back on course. The church has sailed way off course concerning prosperity in the earth. Somewhere hundreds of years ago it got off course. It is up to us in this generation to not hold our peace or keep silent until the Lord establish wealth in the church.

The Covenant Of Two Sons Has Made You Rich
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] You say, What does this have to do with God's wealth for my life? Just stay in tune with the Spirit of God, He is going to ask you to do something concerning giving that will make you sweat. Once you do it, you will be sure to stay serious about you faith because it will take God to pull it off. If you are willing and obedient you shall eat from the good of the land. God will never ask you to do something beyond your ability to believe him for the results.

The Riches Of God's Grace - Just How Rich Is It And How Far Does It Go?
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] What prompted this study of grace was a question the Lord asked me in my spirit: "At what point was My grace available to man and at what point does it stop." Read on to find out the answer.

Seek God And Find His Riches
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] The word says that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hid in Christ. (Colossians 2:3) In order to find God's wealth that He has for us we will need to seek His wisdom. Wisdom has wealth and riches in her hand. God is not far from us. When we whisper he hears. He greatly desires that we find His path that leads to His abundant treasures. We must seek Him in faith. The book of James says to ask God for wisdom and it shall be given, but we must ask in faith. God will not answer if we ask in doubt and unbelief. Unbelief un-does everything that God has done for us.

Money - Is It Your Friend Or Servant?
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Use the money that God has provided you well and He will cause abundant riches to come on you. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above that which you can ask or even think concerning your finances. Your stewardship is the key that unlocks the door to God's abundant provision He has for you. If you use money wisely, God will make sure that you have plenty of it. God is not against you having wealth. He is against wealth having you.

Hold Fast To Your Confession - The Promise Is Coming!
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] If we are going to be partakers (partners) of Christ and His riches we MUST hold firm to our confession to the end. In Hebrews chapter 3 and 4 we see three times the words, "Today if ye will hear his voice harden not your hearts". The only way that we will not harden our hearts to the promises of God is through confession of the promises.

Why The Chruch Is Still Broke With So Much Work To Do - Part 2
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Churches are still broke is because they do not receive the prophetic word of the modern day prophets concerning finances. These men are not just preaching messages about finances, they are messengers of wealth that God sends to churches to impart a financial anointing on the churches and the people in the churches.

Why Churches Are Still Broke With So Much Work To Do
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] The church has been given the largest assignment in the history of mankind, which is to preach the gospel in all the world, to feed the poor, to heal the sick and to comfort the broken hearted, and to build up the poverty stricken places of all the earth. This is an impossible mission with out the wealth to do it. But thank God Almighty, he has provided a way to get the finances to the church. It has been provided for in the covenant that he established with Abraham. Then why are churches still broke?

Have Faith In God - Every Promise Of God Is, Yes And Amen
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Every promise of God is, Yes and Amen in Christ Jesus. When we act on those promises and believe that our actions released the blessing of increase that is in them, then they are Yes and Amen in us. It is done! The only thing that can shut them down is unbelief.

How God Answers Prayers
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] People wonder why their prayers have not been answered. They have been answered if they were prayed according to His will. God always answers prayers that are in line with the word of God. Sow the SEED and you will find your answer in due season. (II Corinthians 1:20, For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.)

Knowing The Difference Between Gifts and Offerings
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] A gift is something that the giver chooses. We choose what it is and who will receive it. The more we know someone the better gift we can give them. How do we know them? We know them by their lifestyle and our fellowship with them.

Prophecy - Beyond Stewardship
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Stewardship is not the true inheritance, it is the school master that leads to the true inheritance. So, once you have been judged as a faithful steward you can begin to take ownership of what has already been given to you—The unsearchable riches of Christ. (Luke 15:31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.)

Giving To The Poor Brings God's Blessing In Your Life
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Jesus said the poor you will have with you always. He did not say that it was God's will for them to be poor nor did he say that you had to be one of them. God has given clear instructions in His word of how treat the poor. The quickest way to get God to show up in your life is to give to the poor.

Three Reasons God Wants You Rich
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Once we understand why God wants us rich we can use our faith to receive His riches and use them as He desires. Until it is settled in the heart that God wants us rich, faith will not work towards His riches. The heart must be clear of all doubt for faith to work towards the promises of God. The scripture says that Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness. He believed that what God had promised him, he was also able to bring it to pass.

Seedtime And Harvest - God's Way To Riches
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] A perfect example of faith is seed - time and harvest. You take an acorn and plant it and years later you have a giant shade tree in you back yard that you can enjoy. The tree is in the seed. Any thing that you receive from God you receive it the same way. The word of God is the seed. The promise is in the seed. Plant the promises of the word in your heart and in time they will come to pass. All the promises of God are, Yes and Amen, NOT maybe, I sure hope so. You got to know so, Why? God said it and it is impossible for Him to lie.

Are You Eating Form The Master's Table Or Is He Tossing You Crumbs Of Mercy? Part III
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] When you take God's word and plant it in your pure heart, you can be assured that it will prosper you in every area of life. It will bring an abundant harvest if you keep the weeds out and allow it to mature unto perfection.

Are You Eating From The Master's Table Or Is He Tossing You Crumbs Of Mercy-Part II
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] The law seedtime and harvest is the way God has chosen to supply people of faith in the earth today. Notice I said the LAW of seedtime and harvest. A law is something that will work every time you place a demand on it. Gravity is a law. It is in operation at all times.

Are You Eating From The Master's Table Or Is He Tossing You Crumbs of Mercy? Part I
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] The one sure way to tell if you are eating from the Master's table and God is your supplier is to ask your self this question. Does my family and I have more than enough for our own needs so we can bless others? If the answer is yes, Congratulations! If the answer is no, then there are some things that you can and should do to change it.

We Have Been Given A Name - Part II
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] To further express the power of names, when you use the words, "I am", your are identifying yourself. Hello, I am John Doe. You just told someone who you are. With that in mind, when you use the words, "I am" with words like sick, tired, broke, poor, blessed, prosperous, healed, etc, you are telling someone who you are not what you are. You are naming yourself with each of those type words that you speak.

We Have Been Given A Name - Part I
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Throughout the scripture, God uses different names to describe Himself. In fact you can find a Name of God in each book of the Bible. The point is, that according to Philippians 2:9, God declared the Name of Jesus above every name. In His name all fullness dwells, in heaven, in earth and under the earth. In the Name of Jesus dwells everything that the Father is. It is all wrapped up in one Name, the Name of Jesus.

How To Get Rich God's Way
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Deuteronomy 8:18 sates, "But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day." How do we remember the Lord? We remember His word. His word is the only way that he can prosper us. Isaiah 55: 11 states, "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

God Wants You Rich - Believe it!
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Proverbs 10:22 states, "The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. God's will for man is that he be rich, not just in finances, but in every area of life. In the beginning, God intended that the earth be just as it is in heaven. Most people have heard of the Lords prayer and have quoted it in times of trouble. Well, the prayer says, "Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven". Note II Corinthians 8:9, "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich."

Covenant Relationsip With God - The Blessing
[News-and-Society:Religion] God always has and always will have relationship and fellowship with man through covenants. When seeking the Lord's will for your life you must find out what the Bible has to say about His covenants. In a covenant relationship between two individuals, the weaker always has everything that the stronger possesses. A covenant is always established by blood and is forever, which means that future generations of the covenant makers automatically become a partaker of that covenant. Nothing can be added to it or nothing can be taken away from it. To keep the covenant active in future generations it must be taught to each family member.

A Body Is Prepared For Me
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] God shewed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness that men should fear Him. Nothing has changed in this generation. He expects to do signs and wonders at the hands of his disciples that men reverence Him. The earthly ministry of Jesus before He went to the cross is our example of what The Father expects and requires of His disciples unto all generations.

God In Us - To Us - Through Us
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] God is more than a cup of blessing. He is the Blesser. He is more than a drink of living water. He is the life giver. He is more that the fruit of the lips. He is the Husbandman. He is more that a word of encouragement and help. He is the God of all hope. He is more than an act of compassion. He is the Father of all mercies. Praise His Name.

Come On In - The Water Is Fine
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] The Bible uses water as a symbol of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. We know that without water there can be no living matter as we know it on the earth. Water is essential. Go without water for a day or so and you will see just how important water is to the human body. The same thing is ture concerning spiritual things. Without spiritual water all things remain in a dead state. It is essential to life.

Defending The Gospel Of Christ
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] The Apostle Paul said in Philippians 1:17, "I am set for the defense of the gospel". He is set to defend the gospel just like a football team defends their own goal. Why is it so important to defend the gospel? Because it was once delivered unto the saints! It will not delivered again. We must protect it at all cost. It is the only way to eternal life.

Strangers In the Earth - We Are Just Passing Through
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] False teachings are going around today saying that the church is to possess the earth as out inheritance with the gospel of Christ. This teaching is not scripture. The Bible does not teach that the gospel of Christ will drive out all evil of this world. It does teach that Christians are to occupy until Christ comes for us to escape the wrath of God that will be poured out upon the earth.

A Pattern Of Good Works
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] A pattern is that which is first cut so that an exact copy can be cut from it. When we are obedient to the word of God in all things, we become patterns for the lives of others. The book of Titus tells us how to be patterns of good works in every area of life.

Things We Should Know About Standing Fast In Faith
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] The outward man is considered a weight to the inner man. As we resist the evil of this world that the outward man must encounter with the inner man's strength, not only do we continue to strengthen the inner man but we are laying up heavy eternal benefits.

Newness Of Life - Walking with The Life Giver
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] If we through the Spirit walk away from the old man leaving him dead and buried with the Son of Man we can walk in newness of life with the Son of God.

Living a Salty Life - Letting Your Light Shine - Being a True Servant
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Listen to these powerful words of Jesus, "Salt is good but if it has lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned: It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." What Jesus is saying that if our lives are not salty (holy), men will take what we say concerning the gospel as not being fit to salt down a pile of dung and will cast it away from them. Our witness will have no power and is good for nothing.

God's Work In Us Brings Him No Shame
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] The work that God does in his servants will stand the test of fire. It will not be mocked. Why? Because it is Christ in us finishing the work of His Father. This is why Jesus said that if we do not take up our cross, forsake all and follow him we cannot be his disciples. He cannot use us if we do not do this because He will bring His Father no shame. God is not mocked.

Things Wanting
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Once a person has been saved by the blood of Christ through faith, the most important message is learning to walk in holiness. The stakes are high in this area. Without holiness, No Man Will See The Lord. (Hebrews 12:14)

Maintaining Good Works Can't Be All That Bad
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] We are to exhort one another to maintain good works until the Lord returns. If we are not careful to mainltain good works the only other option is evil works of which the scripture says to avoid at all cost. Jesus said that if your eye offend thee pluck it out for it is better to enter into the kingdom of God blind than to go into eternal darkness with sight.

Locating The Heart - Finding Your Treasure
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] If man chooses to seek God Ephesians 5:9 tells us exactly where to find our treasure, "For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth." Many people seek God in many ways, but He is sure to be found in all goodness and righteousness and truth.

Humility Is The Beginning Of Wisdom - The Book Of James Reveals This Simple Truth!
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] The book of James is also laced with various commands and exhortations, calling for acceptable service to God. The message has not changed, saying the same to all that call upon His name, being confirmed by both new and old testiments scriptures. The sum of the message in one word is OBEDIENCE. Love is obedience. Faith is obedience. Hope is the end of obedience.

God Is Plenteous In Mercy And Man Makes Plenty Of Mistakes
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] God is plenteous in mercy and man makes plenty of mistakes. God has much more mercy than man has mistakes. Isaiah 54:10, "For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee."

Having Done All To Stand - Your Are Stronger Than You Think! - Being An Overcomer
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] There are people that are paying a great price every day to worship God the way they choose. We should not take our freedom to worship lightly in the United States. More so, we should take advantage of this freedom.

God Is Not Mad At You - He Is On Your Side - His Mercy Is Everlasting
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] God makes his mercy available to men through covenants. Man must come to God based on a covenant agreement in order to receive mercy. Notice Deuteronomy 7:9-11, "Know therefore that the Lord thy God, He is God, the faithful God which keepth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations and repayeth them that hate him to there face to destory them, he will repay and not be slack to him that hateth Him. God would much rather shed His mercy on people than His wrath according to James 2:13, "Mercy rejoiceth against judgment."

Faith Can Be Seen - Your Life Does Not Go Un-Noticed!
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] Faith brings God glory, it testifies, it reveals His grace to those who behold the endurance of others that have entered into Christ's sufferings. In reality, man has two choices. He can enter in to temptations or he can enter into faith which brings Christ's sufferings. Both are a willful act.

What Faith Is And How It Is To Be Used - Great Rewards Are To Come
[Self-Improvement:Spirituality] By faith we stand against evil both inwardly and outwardly. We stand inwardly against personal sin. We stand outwardly in opposition against the evil of this world. However, we must stand in all meekness and gentleness of Christ and not with a condemning attitude.

Grace Will See You Through - Never Give Up - Press On Unto The End - God is On Your Side
[News-and-Society:Religion] So let us commit to know His grace, to grow in it and to be strong in it that we as the apostle Paul may say, I endure all things for the elects sake that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. We suffer that others may obtain glory. Glory Follows!

Be Strong and Of Good Courage - Your Endurance Shall Be Rewarded - Never Quit Serving!
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] The brother of low degree or the humble man, humbles himself to God's will and stands against the temptations to quit serving. Even though he is surrounded by evil on all sides he endures, he stands in the midst of it all. Then after that he has suffered a while, the Lord will exhalt him out of them all.

Faith Offerings Are Best - Giving God What He Deserves
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] Hebrews 11:6 states, "but with out faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Faith always gives God the best. This is what he requires to be pleased by our service."

Count It All Joy - When Things Are Not Going So Good - Things Will Change In Due Season
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] Without sufferings there can be no glory. Paul states in II Timothy 2:12, "If we suffer we shall also reign with him, if we deny him he also will deny us. We are called to eternal glory but we must first choose to suffer awhile. Romans 8:17-18, "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Paul is comparing the earthly body with the glorified body, which is to come. This is why we count it all Joy.

Christians -To Suffer or Not To Suffer - What's God's Will and What's Not - Know The Truth
[Self-Improvement:Inspirational] God has promised deliverance for suffering as a Christian, however, we are not to repeatedly ask God for deliverance. In the first place this type of suffering is a willful suffering. We chose to be Christians. Are we not also to count the cost. Which of you building a tower would not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has sufficient funds to finish it. (Luke 15:28)

Cancer Treatment Coverup - Who's Covering up? Natural Plant Uncovered After 7 Years of Silence
[Cancer] If I told you about a plant that is 10,000 times more toxic to colon cancer cells than a common chemo drug; lethal to 12 different kinds of malignant cells, especially those that cause lung, prostate, and breast cancers; safe enough that it protects healthy cells instead of killing them; doesn't cause extreme nausea or hair loss; doesn't make cancer patients drop huge amounts of weight, get weak, or compromise their immune systems -- would you want to know about it?

Good Health Practices - Teach Your Children While They Are Young!

It is good to skip days sometime to let you family know that you are thinking about them. I have noticed that that the better I get, the more forgiving the family is if I go over sometimes.

Glyconutrients Research Continues To Show Promise For Good Health
[Health-and-Fitness:Diabetes] Glyconutrients are eight immune sugars the body uses for cell to cell communication.

Without proper cell to cell communication, the immune system cannot determine which cells to attack or which cells to leave alone, which cells are healthy or which cells are unhealthy. When the immune system attacks healthy cells, it is called AutoImmune Disorders. When the immune system fails to attack unhealthy cells, sickness and disease sets in the body. As you read this, much research is being done on glyconutrients. Science has established that glyconutrients are not a diet option but a requirement for everyone, called by many “the missing link” to good health.
