What are vows?

Image
  What is a Vow?  We aren't talking wedding vows, but what is a vow, do you know?  I am using the "Green Book- Wellspring School of Ministry, the Wellspring model.  How to Minister Workbook.  By Art and Patti Mathias Have you ever said:  "I will never let a man (or woman) ever hurt me again?" Or, "I will never put myself in that position again." "I can't trust anybody." "Nobody can do it right but me." "I will never be like my mother (or father)." "I will never be like that." "I will never share what I really feel, it is not safe." Many men say this ab out their mothers, and then it transfers to their wives.  "Men (women) never do it right." "Don't share", etc. Proverbs teaches us that as we think in our hearts, so we become (Proverbs 23:7a).  If we make these "vows", or statements, they are waiting to be fulfilled, and Satan will make sure they happen.  M...

Just remembering...

This article is what we have been teaching on here.  This is from Beth Moore.  One of the keys to a sound mind is forgiving others and forgiving yourself for holding onto all that grief or pain.  I thought I would share this with you today because it really does fit into the Biblical Foundations for Freedom (I Found Freedom) plan for enemy attacks.  A Saved Mind with Beth Moore “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV) The New King James renders this phrase in the Greek as “sound mind.” The other part of the phrase is where we get the idea of “salvation.” It refers to a saved mind. When I think back on what Jesus Christ has done for me, I can tell you that He saved my mind. I truly was a tormented and insecure child coming out of abuse, second-guessing, self-doubt and self-loathing. With that kind of mindset, you absolutely despise yourself and believe that you'll never amount to anythi...

Last night

Image
Last night, was the last night for our manager here.  Yesterday was her last day of work.  Last night, she took her last breath and passed away.  Grace, did a great job here.  She worked hard and made sure she kept everything straight.  She will be missed. God Saw You... by Author Unknown God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be. So He wrapped his arms around you, and whispered, "Come to me". You didn't deserve what you went through, So He gave you rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best And when I saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain I could not wish you back To suffer that again. This place won't be the same.  Our prayer is for her family and her husband.  May God give them the peace that passes all understanding. 

A Life Worth Living with God All things are possible!

God is good right?  God doesn't cause bad things to happen, but the devil does.  The devil comes into kill, steal and destroy any good thing.  He brings in his little demons and sometimes big demons to keep you in bondage so he can play in your mind, heart and soul.  We are here to kick devil butt!  So, here are the devils that will attack and maybe they have already set up shop in your life.  It's time to kick them out in the name of Jesus! These are the spirits that will invade your life and cause you death in so many areas!  Are you ready?  Let's kick them out! There are just a few (haha) of them, one is accusing spirits - they can operate in our life when we don't know what the real Spirit looks like.  They build on our ignorance of who we are in Christ.  They tempt us to misunderstand who other people really are.  They confuse our thinking about God's true nature.  Their goal is to bring us down, to bring others down,...

Today is the first day of many more to come - duh!

Dear friends, I have tried posting something I thought was wonderful, however, I just can't get it to cut and paste and do what I want.  So I found the link to it.  The letter is from Dave Roberson, Family Prayer Center in Tulsa OK.  This man is an incredible Godly man.  He will spend days with Jesus in the Shekeniah Glory and God will pour out what He wants Dave to teach.  http://daveroberson.org/letters.aspx #  check out March 2011.  I tried to give you a foretaste of it but it is secured.  When I went with Steve to the Prayer Center, I was amazed.  It isn't much to look at, the chairs are worn, the carpet is pink and green (green is the prayer line) and it's a little uneven on the floors.  But when you get past that,the worship is true worship- worshipping the King of Kings! The teaching from Dave, Gary Carpenter, Alan Taylor and Mark Jenkins is intensely incredible.  I had never been to a place where men of God dev...

Shekinah Glory falls down

Image
What in the world is Shekinah Glory?  It is the Holy Spirit that comes and knocks on the door of your heart and falls all over everyone, sometimes He quiets your mind so much so that God speaks to you, sometimes it feels like a warm heavy blanket that covers you with peace that passes all understanding!  Sometimes it is your mouth that exalts the Name of Jesus.  It sometimes comes in as a bubble, cloud, peace, or a worship of Jesus.  Take a peek at what happened in Sayerville NJ last Friday!  http://bayoftheholyspiritrevival.com/media_archive_sub.php?id=73 Lydia now has a worship CD out and she truly worships the Lord!  She brings in the Holy Spirit with all the love and all the glory she has!  Here's New Life Church from Co. Springs.  This was written after some major things happened in their church, the Pastor scandel, and a shooting on a Sunday morning, this song is OVERCOME, it is powerful!  Think about the things you have had t...

The winds of change...

Image
We can feel the winds of change coming.  It is already "spring" here in the Panhandle of Florida.  In fact, we already got the first sunburn of the season for us!  Whew, glad that is out of the way! Seriously, a few church positions have opened up and though I wrote that I wasn't sure I wanted to be back in a stick and brick, my soul has so missed it.  I miss the kids, the parents, the crazy starts of the early Sunday Morning.  I miss the praying over my "kids" and their families and the volunteers.  I miss so much of it.  I miss seeing my husband help change young lives for Christ.  Teaching them God's truth. You may be thinking, yeah, it's the paycheck she misses.  Truthfully, I had done this type of job as a volunteer for many years.  Paychecks usually are my least concern, God supplies just enough to make it and though I know many preach prosperity, we are prosperous.  We are rich in the kingdom!  We have Jesus and we k...

This is the day!

Picture of a child whose life is being transformed by faith in God through Jesus Christ our Lord. How can we lead our children in faith?  We can help our children to rightly understand the truth of God.  We can show them how superior Jesus Christ is to the fictional heroes presented to them by the modern media.  This world has never lacked fictional heroes.  Most of the gods of ancient religions are heroes built almost entirely on imagination.  Stories that may have been originally inspired by a famous battle or great deed grew larger and more fanciful with every telling.  Sagas and legends grew and grew, until the men or women were made into gods. Such fictional and mythical gods are still among us in the comic book heroes and TV cartoons or recent generations.  People love stories of great courage and mighty feats.  We all love a good story, and children are no exception.  In fact, children need great stories and heroes to help them form h...

Better is one day in His Courts than a thousand elsewhere...

After watching the news, listening to some of our fav. pastors whom we trust, time is short.  I know, I sound like a resounding gong.  But this is serious business.  You knowing Jesus is serious business!  Your relationship with Jesus is so important.    If you don't know him, pray this simple prayer: Father, I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins.  I believe that He rose from the dead so I can live with Him forever.  I ask you to forgive me of my sins, Lord, Help me to forgive myself for what I hold inside that is against others.  I ask that you come into my heart and be the Lord (boss) of my life.  I confess with my mouth that I am born again.  Thank you for saving me.  In Jesus Name, Amen. One of the benefits with having a relationship with Jesus, is he has sent a comforter, the Holy Spirit.  Here's the prayer for the Holy Spirit to come in and set you on fire for the Word and for your new life!...
