Walk the Walk

When you "walk the walk" and "talk the talk," and as long as you keep moving forward in your faith, your goal will be accomplished.

So, just keep in mind the goal you expect to reach for it is very likely you will make it this time. Everybody has a goal. What's yours?

Who's With You Now?

Do you have any idea who is with you now? It is the Holy Spirit because the Bible says He is with us always. And because He is, we have nothing to fear, for He has the power to protect us 24/7, according to Psalm 23.

Yes, the Holy Spirit is with you now and always, for He loves us. He cares about us and He watches over us just like any father would watch over his child.

The Blame Game

When things go wrong as they so often do, who do you blame? So often you blame the one that is closest to you, and that could be a close friend or a family member.

In one situation when David had a problem, he decided to call on God (Psalm 55:16) and he knew God could help him. We to can get the help we need by taking our troubles to God in prayer. At least He will help.

Who's In Charge?

During the day, when everything is going good, we don't care who is in charge. We accept life without any concern of what may go wrong. And, as long as everything goes well, we're in charge.

But, am I really in charge, or is there a Greater one in charge? Might this one be my God? After all, He is watching over me and has the ability to step into my life anytime He desires. So, it looks like God's in charge of my life and that's alright with me.

Who's in charge of your life today?

The Will of the Father

God the Father will do anything we ask as long as it is according to His will. Likewise, we can know what His will is when we search through the Scriptures.

When we read God's Word, The Bible, we will find out what His will is and be able to pray accordingly. When you are consistent in your daily reading, the will of God will become more meaningful to you.

As our prayer time increases, we will be drawn closer in our walk with God. And that is what we have wanted to do from the beginning.

Our Instant World Today

So, you want a cup of coffee, will that be regular or instant? Do you want that with your instant oatmeal? We do have regular if you prefer.

Other things can be had in an instant but are not as nourishing. For instance there is instant salvation and instant access to God which is through prayer. When you ask God to come into your heart, He will do it.

Don't hesitate - do it now! It only takes an instant.

The Perfect Christian

Is there such a person as a perfect Christian? We would like to know. If there is, who is capable of being that one?

What are the requirements? Is it really possible to fill all the requirements? If we have to be like Jesus and be perfect in every way that is probably not going to happen.

However, God does not expect us to be perfect. He just wants us to live the life that fulfills His purpose here on earth.

Recharge Your Faith

As you enter a new day and a new week there will always be challenges. But, that is normal in our every day life. However, we need to be in an attitude of prayer so the challenges can be met on an equal basis.

Why not take time today to pray for opportunities for God's grace to flow through you and into those you come into contact today? It will recharge them and you as well.

What Do You Think About God?

Maybe you don't have any real thoughts on the subject. After all, you have a right to your opinion and there may not even be a real God out there in space.

The people who talk about God always say he is in a place called heaven, but they can't tell you where it is. So who is right? If there is a heaven, and there is a God, tell me where they are.

So, what do I really think about God? Tell me where God is and maybe I can tell you what I think about him.

The answer is in the Bible; God says in Isaiah 65:17 that He is currently creating new heavens. So keep the faith, because there is a real God too.

Pleasing God

In your prayer time, are you pleasing God, or are you satisfying an obligation? Do you want to satisfy yourself or please God?

If you want to please God, spend time in meditation. And as you meditate you will discover what is most important to Him.

When you find what is pleasing to God, you will want to stay close to Him so you can grow in His love and grace.

Born Twice, Die Once

How can you be born a second time without dying? In John 3:3 we read, "you must be born again." The reason behind this second birth is so when you die you have a guarantee you will enter heaven.

If you don't accept the second birth, you are destined to go to Hell. And no one has a desire to go there. Just ask Jesus to come into your heart and you will be saved from the torture that is associated with Hell. Do it now.

He Will Sustain

In times of sickness, pain and difficulty, we need support to get through these obstacles. We who know Christ know He is watching over us and is the One who will sustain us (Psalm 41:3).

Even when we seek the good life, He is with us and sustains us (John 10:10). God the Father knows what we need and will always be available whenever we need Him.

Be On Your Guard

In First Corinthians 16:13-14, St. Paul reminds us that we need to be on our guard and to stand firm in our faith. There are so many times when Satan tempts us, and He does it at the weakest times in our life. This is the main reason we have to be on our guard.

God has given us full reign to make decisions in our daily lives, and in so doing it is up to each one of us to make the right decision at all times based on our faith in God. And when we do we will remain strong in Jesus Christ.

Spiritual Pollution

Pollution is usually associated with air and water conditions. However it is not limited to these areas. We have to be watchful of our conversation and our thoughts. This could be the first step to what would be considered a possible spiritual pollution.

You will not find spiritual pollution in Websters dictionary, but you know this is not something you want to have to deal with on a regular basis or even on a temporary basis.

Depression

When you feel depressed, do you know where it comes from? It comes from the force of evil.

This force is Satanic and it will get into your mind in your weakest moment. So keep alert because this can be a real downer.

Do not worry, it will only add to more depression. God knows what you're going through and the Holy Spirit who is with you in these times.

Ed Unruh

Who Needs It?

Because we're human and prone to making mistakes, we should try to avoid them by asking for God's guidance in our daily lives.

Yes, sometimes Prayer is exactly what is needed for us to make it through the day. In God's Word, Isaiah 58:11 says, "The Lord will guide you always, He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame." So, God will support us when WE NEED IT.

Ed Unruh

Other People

In our conversations with other people, we can get caught up in subjects that are controversial or similar to each one. But, they need to be of interest to both parties.

For instance, religion is one subject that fits into that category. God's will is for everyone to know Him as their personal saviour (John 3:16). What is your relationship with God? Do you know Him?

Ed Unruh

A Giving God

There are many reasons to go to God in prayer. One of those reasons is to ask Him to forgive us for sins we have committed. Because He looks into our heart and knows what we need (Mt.6:8), He forgives us.

Another reason to go to God in prayer is to pray for a loved one who is sick or going through a difficult time. Because God understands and is a giving God He will answer our prayer this time as well.

How to Increase Your Faith

One way to increase your faith is to take on challenges that can only be accomplished through faith. Also, you may need help and the only one who can help is God Himself.

Faith, in itself, requires help sometimes. So, let us really try to exercise the faith we have. Don't hesitate; move forward with enthusiasm and do what you have to do. And you will get the task done before you know it.

It Is Yours

You work hard all your life to earn a living and to raise your family. Of course there will be times when it will be a struggle, but that is to be expected in this world.

Even though we do not live in a perfect world, we do serve a perfect God whom we can go to any time we have a problem.

The fact is in Mark 11:24 Jesus said, "you can pray for anything and if you believe you have it, it is yours."
