God's Provisions Bring God Glory!!!

Let me ask you a question: Did you know that we bring God glory by calling upon Him when we are in distress? You see, God has promised that He would deliver us if we turned to Him. We deny the Lord honor that is rightfully His every time we find ourselves in difficulty and we fail to call upon Him for help!

"Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me." Psalm 50:15

Friends, there may be times when God allows us to reach a point of need so that we will call upon Him, and thus let Him demonstrate to a watching and waiting world the difference He makes in the lives of His children. I fully believe that if God never allowed us to experience need, people around us might never have the opportunity to witness God's provision in the life of a Christian. If we have never faced a shortfall, we might be tempted to feel self-sufficient and without any need of God in our daily life.

Pride will tempt us to think that we do not need to seek God's assistance. Self-regard will seek to convince us that we can handle our dilemma through our own wisdom, resources, and hard work. Pride will also rob glory from God and seek to give it to us. We cannot allow our pride to take what rightfully belongs to the Lord. We need to call upon our Lord and wait exclusively upon Him to rescue us! Then we need to give Him the glory that He deserves.

One last thing friends: remember that self-sufficiency can greatly hinder our ability to experience God and bring Him honor. The next time we find ourselves in distress, we should turn to Him!

May God Richly Bless You Today!! H Trent!

Thinking About Calling Down Fire!?!

James and John were refered to as "the Sons of Thunder" in the Bible. When they discovered a Samaritan village that would not receive Jesus, they were fully prepared to call down fire to consume the entire community. "And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?" Luke 9:54. Maybe they felt that through such a show of power, the gospel message might be enhanced. The two brothers were willing to sacrifice the lives of the village in order to further the cause of the gospel. However, Jesus rebuked them! Later, the apostles heard that Samaria had responded to the gospel. Guess who was commissioned to go and help them receive the Holy Spirit? None other but Peter and John! It was God's purpose that the people not be destroyed but saved! God chose not to rain down fire on the village, but to shower it with His Holy Spirit! I wonder what w

On Earth as it is in Heaven!

  As believers, I know that we question the situations and culture that we find ourselves in during these times.  We wonder what has happened to our world and why are things happening as they are.  I also hear fellow brothers and sisters in Christ complaining that something should be done, but they themselves do not want to get involved. Lastly, why aren't the miracles and power of God not being manifest during our lifetime?  The answer my friends is that we have forgotten to Whom we belong and that the battle is always fought on our knees!  To many, this could be a passive way of stating that this is all that we can do, but I would like to say that we need a change of thinking and praying in order to start seeing the results that we so desperately desire!  I want us to really take a deep look at the Lord's Prayer: "In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.   Give us this

The Fruit of the Spirit!!

As one examines what the Scriptures teach about the fruits of the Spirit, you could be intimidated. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23. Working all nine of these traits into our life seems impossible, and it is. However, the moment we became Christians, the Holy Spirit began a divine work to produce Christ's character in us. Let me say this, regardless of who you are, the Spirit works from the same model, Jesus Christ. The Spirit looks to Christ in order to find the "blueprint" for your character. The Spirit will immedately begin helping you experience and practice this same love that Jesus had when He laid down His life for His friends. The same joy He experienced will be filled in you. The identical peace that guarded the heart of Jesus, even as He was being beaten and mocked, will be the peace that the Spirit
