It usually when they do or say things that are not pleasing to one another. It's true when we lose our temper - within minutes a quick-tempered person began to do foolish things including yelling, cussing and fussing, hitting, and so on.<br /><br />Psalm 145:8 reminds us to be slow to anger. In fact, the psalmist clearly states that the Lord himself is gracious and compassionate. Instead of anger the Lord have mercy on us even when we do things that does not satisfy him. Are you slow to anger? Then you're a man of great understanding and sounds like you know that Vengeance is his and only.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/58/F66746526028B1FCED1352673A9FD877.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937802873245429033.post-14963056825805754252011-01-16T14:00:00.001-08:002012-07-21T21:35:36.597-07:00God's Promise to Never Leave Us<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzq9IZ3G2GkIq4s21EBhV8L7JF24PCpbPLoqTGCxEzNQh6bsMqVMFvnAQ2Ah95oAUaJ2FV1GoC8r94OLyltqTqvQp_2mRiMSdX0qr1ER8iBdU-Nq4TIIF9mCv59zX8cfHTjd4oCL47vDk/s1600/loneliness1.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 249px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzq9IZ3G2GkIq4s21EBhV8L7JF24PCpbPLoqTGCxEzNQh6bsMqVMFvnAQ2Ah95oAUaJ2FV1GoC8r94OLyltqTqvQp_2mRiMSdX0qr1ER8iBdU-Nq4TIIF9mCv59zX8cfHTjd4oCL47vDk/s320/loneliness1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562911274137547954" /></a>I will be a Father to you,and you will be my sons and daughters,says the Lord Almighty.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. The devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. <br /><br />ASK YOURSELF:<br /><br />Who is the Devil?<br />How would you define Satan, the antichrist?<br />Imagine a carefree world without Christ?<br /><br />Ephesians 6:11-13<br />1 John 4:3<br />Revelation 20:10<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/58/F66746526028B1FCED1352673A9FD877.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937802873245429033.post-28856108152012066092011-01-07T09:56:00.001-08:002012-03-24T11:54:27.639-07:00Brighten Your Life with the Holy Ghost<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8F4JPuZfcgs6ibNcs_Q698nvGV1R5cWazsVYmZwchtr879LxDVb0nKS5GfwKYQrX6WvmLsL9r2FlNpvG31n6m6g9UE9f6Fo8KWHTVCaEMWODx9XWgyXQYHsY3Q5MdY_HcDx-rbDPx5-c/s1600/light.bmp"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8F4JPuZfcgs6ibNcs_Q698nvGV1R5cWazsVYmZwchtr879LxDVb0nKS5GfwKYQrX6WvmLsL9r2FlNpvG31n6m6g9UE9f6Fo8KWHTVCaEMWODx9XWgyXQYHsY3Q5MdY_HcDx-rbDPx5-c/s320/light.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559505450112423746" /></a>For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.<br /><br />ASK YOURSELF:<br />Do you feel Holy Spirit this moment?<br />What do you do when the flesh get in the way of the Holy Ghost?<br />How do one know when the spirit is working in their lives?<br /><br />Galatians 5:17,16,24&25<br />Romans 13:14<br />Proverbs 25:28<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/58/F66746526028B1FCED1352673A9FD877.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937802873245429033.post-14978226393273537922010-12-27T04:07:00.000-08:002010-12-27T04:07:00.655-08:00Happy New Year<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisDYxsqZ3Tv2YrPEOgVHRHygkFiHtalbMyUSlv4fqs2m0ZHYgYTO8mi22j5C1qTLwVmC2JxYy9rT1PvYJn4ByaxNGexAIqg5-0CChM8MXk9qwdW4K6P7ZSAp1HVtUqa0RjnjGoHGBopuk/s1600/2011.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 157px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisDYxsqZ3Tv2YrPEOgVHRHygkFiHtalbMyUSlv4fqs2m0ZHYgYTO8mi22j5C1qTLwVmC2JxYy9rT1PvYJn4ByaxNGexAIqg5-0CChM8MXk9qwdW4K6P7ZSAp1HVtUqa0RjnjGoHGBopuk/s200/2011.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554986591884565730" /></a><br />Wishing everyone a prosperous New Year.

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet,saying,Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.<br /><br />ASK YOURSELF:<br /><br />How do you plan to spend Christmas this year?<br />Why was Jesus born of the flesh? <br />What is the true meaning of Christmas to you?<br /><br />Matthew 1:18-25<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/58/F66746526028B1FCED1352673A9FD877.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937802873245429033.post-53077839977956707252010-12-05T00:41:00.001-08:002012-03-24T11:57:05.435-07:00Human Suffering<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAZqB8JNPnYVf3Img2eZC758MCpsiIy-E1gLOMkOFCnq3ODAbhyphenhyphenEGSYjnlGKshFJqVNaE-IGEy6ic6XwQ1_Yota1kkCSJ2Fm3gFmQjuxk7_S4NohqX_j_G_UAHcVpkVbed4ipthFK-cA8/s1600/suffering.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 244px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAZqB8JNPnYVf3Img2eZC758MCpsiIy-E1gLOMkOFCnq3ODAbhyphenhyphenEGSYjnlGKshFJqVNaE-IGEy6ic6XwQ1_Yota1kkCSJ2Fm3gFmQjuxk7_S4NohqX_j_G_UAHcVpkVbed4ipthFK-cA8/s320/suffering.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547124427942082002" /></a>I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. Because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son. If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.

If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self? It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.<br /><br />ASK YOURSELF<br /><br />Do you think that overcoming the flesh is the same as overcoming the world?<br />What does John 16:33 tells us about the world?<br />What profit has a man if he gets all the world with the loss of his life?<br /><br />1 John 2:15-17<br />Luke 9:25<br />Titus 2:12-13<br />1 John 5:5<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/58/F66746526028B1FCED1352673A9FD877.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937802873245429033.post-12820508635798537672010-10-22T08:26:00.001-07:002012-03-24T11:58:31.154-07:00The Real Leader<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLooW1xb3PEhRndaWj2Zx-h-kOgmkYsEtKn27ldyz9YmMLBh-ewac7EX-bAB1fMlZCqEpZeucn0OHk9BvM5D5b4fGbXTwzSVea0d_QrLSEJ8gCxsFPPWI0hr4ButTotKMOnNb2IXq4M5I/s1600/leadership.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLooW1xb3PEhRndaWj2Zx-h-kOgmkYsEtKn27ldyz9YmMLBh-ewac7EX-bAB1fMlZCqEpZeucn0OHk9BvM5D5b4fGbXTwzSVea0d_QrLSEJ8gCxsFPPWI0hr4ButTotKMOnNb2IXq4M5I/s320/leadership.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530893169262785010" /></a>In his heart a man plans his course,but the LORD determines his steps. n a desert land he found him,in a barren and howling waste.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil. The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.<br /><br />ASK YOURSELF:<br /><br />What does the LORD saith, He will do unto man that fear him?

The flat-screen TV is now more affordable than it was a few years ago. However, it is still somewhat of a hefty purchase. As a people when we make certain purchases the standard manufacturer warranty that comes with the product is important. Sometimes we go beyond the standard warranty to buy extended warranties and a lifetime guarantee.<br /><br />THROUGH CHRIST, we have been given the free gift to external salvation. We MUST accept Christ’s offering of eternal Life and salvation. Many are spending hundreds of dollars for extended warranties, while others are accepting a free invitation from God to the gateway into heaven.<br /><br />" Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."<br /><br /><em>Lord, help me to acknowledge my sins and I come asking for forgiveness of my sins.

My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice & be glad in it. ......for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.<br /><br />ASK YOURSELF:<br /><br />How can you know when you have joy of the Lord?<br />What are some of the many ways to have joy of Jesus Christ?<br />How can we boost the joy of God?<br /><br />Romans 14:17<br />Psalm 149:5<br />Psalm 51:12,13<br />Psalm 126:5,6<br />Psalm 118:24<br />Nehemiah 8:10b<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/58/F66746526028B1FCED1352673A9FD877.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937802873245429033.post-64034883744378548902010-09-06T06:33:00.001-07:002012-03-24T12:00:51.210-07:00What is Faith<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF2R2QALrksKOBSDg7I2gvOFSPH_Pofv2Rd6f2MkompHRp_cOtmiqbodEPK49F-526qkhRRVmChY4-0qbyY0NO4iWvOwS4PF2p5EzmFLSeRSooKIlYStitaMEdN3VWMNKvzAjjSG5x12o/s1600/faith.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 204px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF2R2QALrksKOBSDg7I2gvOFSPH_Pofv2Rd6f2MkompHRp_cOtmiqbodEPK49F-526qkhRRVmChY4-0qbyY0NO4iWvOwS4PF2p5EzmFLSeRSooKIlYStitaMEdN3VWMNKvzAjjSG5x12o/s320/faith.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513794171776265778" /></a>Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)<br /><br />ASK YOURSELF:<br />Have things happened in your life that has altered the depth of your faith?<br />Please explain your view of faith.<br />What edge might a person of strong faith have over a person with weak or no faith?<br /><br />1 Peter 1:7,8<br />Hebrews 11:1,3,6<br />Romans 10:17<br />2 Corinthians 5:7<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/58/F66746526028B1FCED1352673A9FD877.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937802873245429033.post-3143103738616845072010-09-01T05:12:00.001-07:002012-03-24T12:00:29.741-07:00Defeat Over Worldliness<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWDTl8hPsQ03gq6wBg7PEHRhx94eXhv72SHFMKy_H3GQyYcLVwDpjg-hJxd1ErxO9rsb7-0OVP0GDn1XvBt-tN2dMQA9akN6MZdcqtH9cM-ApzeeqQdGAUcH03u5fqZrDTEXOQq7aAV18/s1600/world.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 219px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWDTl8hPsQ03gq6wBg7PEHRhx94eXhv72SHFMKy_H3GQyYcLVwDpjg-hJxd1ErxO9rsb7-0OVP0GDn1XvBt-tN2dMQA9akN6MZdcqtH9cM-ApzeeqQdGAUcH03u5fqZrDTEXOQq7aAV18/s320/world.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511562169459022690" /></a>Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?<br /><br />ASK YOURSELF:<br /><br />What are some signs that this sin-cursed world is passing away?<br />Why did Christ reprove the Pharisees?<br />What is meant by perilous times in the Bible?<br /><br />1 John 2:15,16,17<br />2 Peter 1:4<br />Luke 9:25<br />1 John 5:5<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54488/58/F66746526028B1FCED1352673A9FD877.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937802873245429033.post-32369611317694876472010-08-22T14:45:00.002-07:002012-03-25T05:47:12.922-07:00Power of the Word<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhATAsT1XpKKiZ5VSGi4falmaWkOjQJljKB0YVm-QJliCqyhUURwbiMe38XsxXwxA3VR3UJE8k5Fv4bO2XTSkZhIdh6bJF0QuTGP456jWii_pwzxaVsZMpa1VNubzIIEX3lUQOhvjM5sos/s1600/bible.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 290px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhATAsT1XpKKiZ5VSGi4falmaWkOjQJljKB0YVm-QJliCqyhUURwbiMe38XsxXwxA3VR3UJE8k5Fv4bO2XTSkZhIdh6bJF0QuTGP456jWii_pwzxaVsZMpa1VNubzIIEX3lUQOhvjM5sos/s320/bible.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508356078373276226" /></a>In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.<br />He sent forth his word and healed them; and delivered them from their destructions.<br />For all men are like grass,and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; <br />the grass withers and the flowers fall;but the word of the Lord endureth forever.

For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good. Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace,as in all churches of the saints.<br /><br />ASK YOURSELF:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">What make a man chooses evil vs good?<br />How do often we come in contact with evil?<br />Evil doing is often a result of personal guilt and failure.
