More of Why God Desires You to Live A Committed Life

by

A certain dog had always boasted of his ability as a runner. Then one day a rabbit that he was chasing got away. This brought a lot of ridicule from the other dogs because of his previous boasting. His explanation: “You must remember that the rabbit was running for his life, while I was only running for my dinner.” 1 What are you running for in your Christian life? Paul said he was running for a prize and he ran in such a way as to obtain it. (1 Cor. 9:24). Commitment, consecration, and dedication are all words which should mark our race in God.

#S3-026: Why Successful People Allow the Lord to Build Their Life [Podcast]

How to Increase the Presence of God in Your Everyday Life

by

In 1787, prayer helped determine the future of our country in a significant way. The Constitutional Convention was on the verge of total failure over the issue of whether small states should have the same representation as large states. In this hopeless situation, 81-year-old Benjamin Franklin offered a suggestion. He was convinced Scripture is right when it states, “Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it” (Psalm 127:1), so he said: “Gentlemen, I have lived a long time and am convinced that God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? I move that prayer imploring the assistance of Heaven to be held every morning before we proceed to business.” p 1046 The motion carried. From then on prayer was offered each morning. The change after prayer was introduced was so dramatic that in a short while a compromise was reached which is still in effect today. 1 Successfully praying for the President and our nation’s leaders have several key elements. We begin to examine these elements in today’s Light on Life podcast.

Why God Desires You to Live a Committed Life

by

It’s amazing, how much the world generally or the church specifically is looking for better methods. They are continually looking for a better way to do something. Have you ever asked yourself, what does God look for? God does not look for better methods,  he looks for better men. This is not about righteousness here. This is not referencing your positional stand before God. Consecration is about availability; being available for God to use you. Living a yielding life to the Spirit of God so that God can do something with your righteous position in Him. Better men are available men. They are consecrated men.

#S3-024: How You Can Destroy Satan’s Hindrances in Jesus Name [Podcast]

How to Use the Name of Jesus to Live a Miracle Life

by

Some people think that there is no Satan. Perhaps the following story will be instructive to them. Once there was a boxer who was being badly beaten. Battered and bruised, he leaned over the ropes and said to his trainer, “Throw in the towel! This guy is killing me!” The trainer said, “Oh, no, he’s not. He’s not even hitting you. He hasn’t laid a glove on you!”At that point, the boxer wiped the blood away from his eye and said, “Well, then, I wish you’d watch that referee. Somebody is sure hitting me!” 1 There is an enemy loose on planet earth who’s trying his best to lay his gloves on you. But, you can overcome all of his hindrances in Jesus Name.

Colossal Conqueror? Jesus Said You Are. Do You Agree?

Roaming through Romans

by

When Lord Nelson reported to the British Office of Admirals his great victory over the French fleet in the Battle of the Nile, he said that “victory” was not a large enough word to describe what had taken place. When Paul spoke of the victory which through Jesus Christ he had won over all the ills and adversaries and temptations and woes of life, that greatest of all words, “conqueror,” was not sufficient to describe it; and therefore he said, “more than conquerors, through him that loved us.” 1 Today, we are going to answer the question, Are you a colossal conqueror through Jesus? He thinks you are. The question is, do you agree with Him?

[Tweet “The Greek word ‘conquerors’ means to have complete victory, to prevail totally, to vanquish.”]

What To Do When It Seems Like You Can Go No More

Roaming through Romans

by

Have you ever been to the place where it seems like you are at your wit’s end? One trial after another, one difficult place after another. ‘What’s going on’, you think? The Apostle spoke of these kinds of days as he experienced several periods of time in his own walk. In Romans 8:36, he talks about what it’s like to have a really bad day.  He lays all of this out in verses thirty-five and thirty-six in Romans eight. There’s hope for sure. Great ready to shout.

#S3:022: Why You No Longer Have to Be Sick Because of Jesus Name [Podcast]

How to Use the Name of Jesus to Live a Miracle Life

by

The great and prince of preachers, Charles Spurgeon struggled with the issue of sickness.  He said,  “Be thankful for the providence which has made you poor, or sick, or sad; for by all this Jesus works the life of your spirit and turns you to Himself. 1 Spurgeon believed in poverty, sickness and sadness as being the will of God. In fact, he suffered with a disease called gout. He was a great preacher with a great disease. But, Spurgeon was wrong about sickness. Jesus is the Healer. Satan is the oppressor.

Why the Devil’s Bad Stuff Can Never Separate You from God

Roaming through Romans

by

In the previous two week’s, we mentioned how Paul wraps up Romans chapter eight with six concluding questions. Those questions are; What shall we then say to these things?; If God be for us, who can be against us?; He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?; Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect?; Who is he that condemns?; and Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? In today’s post, we deal with the very last question of these six questions which appears in Romans 8:35.
