#049: How to Cultivate Gods Presence in Your Life [Podcast]

The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God and the Church is famishing for want of His Presence. The instant cure of most of our religious ills would be to enter the Presence in spiritual experience, to become suddenly aware that we are in God and that God is in us. This would lift us out of our pitiful narrowness and cause our hearts to be enlarged 1. These are penetrating words from the pen of Tozer. Does your heart agree with these words? Do you hunger and crave the Presence of God? This is the first of a two part post on this important aspect of life in the Spirit.

#045: Why is the Throne of God a Merciful Place? [Podcast]

One of my favorite scriptures is this phrase in the Psalms. “The Lord is good and His mercy endures forever.” The phrase occurs 9 times in the Psalms and 14 times overall. The thought of God’s mercy echoes deep within the heart of every born again child of God. Because you know if it wasn’t for His mercy where would you be? How could you have made it? One of the most outstanding features of the Throne of God is this mercy component. It is a place which is saturated and overflowing with God’s mercy.

When Is It Right to Fight?

It only takes two and people have been pairing up and fighting since the fall of man. It started with Adam and Eve’s children. And so, siblings fight. Nations fight. Politicians fight. Neighbors get it on. Animals fight and documentaries are made of it. On and on it goes. But is it ever right to fight? Does a Christian lose ‘cool points’ for losing his cool?

#034: Three Steps To Affair Proof Your Marriage [Podcast]

Dr. Tom McGuiness, a counseling psychologist in New Jersey, gives this explanation of why many affairs take place: Married people seek out or succumb to affairs when they feel devalued or less than fully alive. They are bored. Overburdened. People who have affairs have a child’s deep longing to be touched, caressed, held, hugged and kissed, whether they admit it or not. They want happy surprises. That might mean a sentimental unexpected gift every once in a while. More important, it is the dependable gift of time and caring. The present of shared ideas, experiences, stories, nonsense and games, including sexual games. They want the world to butt out. They want a loving friend, a pal who isn’t judgmental. They want someone to convince them they’re still loved, lovable and very special. For a little while, now and then, they want out from under the grown-up responsibilities that have become predictable, dreary and difficult. 1. These are some of the preventable feelings that couples have. As the old saying goes to be forewarned is to be forearmed. What are some things that married couples can focus to help affair proof their marriage?

Three Decisions of Quality that Will Set Your Life on Fire

What is a quality decision? It is the act of making a determined choice from which there is no turning back. There is room for men and women who resolve to stay a fixed course no matter what others do. Hear the Apostle Paul, “I serve God with my spirit in the gospel of his Son” (Rom. 1:9). These are choices a Jesus child makes that rips the flesh off  compromise. There irrevocable. “I will serve God.” The period at the end of that sentence serves notice. Yes, you live and move in the age of Grace. But you refuse to let down  just because forgiveness is available. Praise Him for His mercy. Thank God for the Blood that washes me when I miss it. But do I dare say it? You have so set your heart toward the Father you don’t need the Blood. You are immovable like granite. No folding, no caving in. Your heart is perfect, Your heat extreme. All of this is possible, you know. Here are three decisions of quality that will set your life on fire.

Love [Scripture List]

Walking in Love is the great commandment that Jesus left the church. This is not natural human love but the God-kind of love. This love in detail is described in 1Corinthians 13:4-8. There are over 190 verses in the list below. Meditate in these verses. Check your life against. Walking in love is the pathway to power, effectiveness and victory in all realms of life. The Word of God is true, ‘now abides faith, hope, love, theses three but the greatest of these is love (1Cor. 13:13).

#014: Being a Two Dimensional Believer [Podcast]

Believers in Jesus are people of multiple realms and multiple dimensions. We walk in the dimensions of faith, hope and love. We live in the seen realm of today; we look at the unseen realm of tomorrow. We are people of the spiritual realm. And, we are people of the natural realm. With our spirits we contact God, the Creator of the Universe. With our bodies, we take out the trash! How does one live a balanced two dimensional life?

The Jesus Guide to Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a huge issue in the Bible. Jesus alluded to it’s importance on several occasions. He told us that not operating in forgiveness, that is harboring things against people, holding people’s past sins against them will hinder our own faith. One of Jesus most memorable parables is the ’70×7′ parable. Let’s take a look at this subject of forgiveness and getting past the bitterness of offense in our everyday life. We want to demonstrate that forgiveness is not a mechanical formula but is a ‘from the heart lifestyle attitude’ to be exercised without limits.

Bruised Reeds and Smoking Flax

This stuff of betrayal, and wounding and being deserted and being stabbed in the back has been going on since the fall of man. It is not a new thing under the sun. It is an old thing that has always been. The fact that the Bible teaches forgiveness indicates that trespasses against your person can occur. It is not fun, it is not cool but it does happen. People have been abused, hurt, let down, wounded, deserted, betrayed by a spouse, stabbed in the back by a fellow church member, and rejected by friends, family and even parents. 1  You can overcome it though. You can overcome all of it through the power of God’s love and by operating in forgiveness.
