John taught often the power and importance of abiding in Jesus. Here he tells us how we can do this, and how we can be sure that we really are abiding in Jesus. God gives us confirmation that we are through His Spirit.
John taught that if we do what God told us to do, we are going to have confidence before God and receive answers to prayer. So obedience to God is a major key to developing strong faith.
On the contrary, disobedience to God will surely weaken our confidence and hinder our ability to receive answers to prayer from God.
In the teaching of the apostles, its not enough to speak loving words to people in need. Practical help is required. It cost God a great deal to send Jesus to pay for our sins. That is the nature of God’s love.
Paul Washer tells it like it is in this short clip. He is saying that there are true sheep of God in most large churches but in order to please the large unconverted crowd in the church, the pastors will not give true sheep what they need. Instead they feed the goats what pleases them.
i was born in afamily of belivers but i had not been born again.i used to hear people talking about God working wonders in their lives but not really encounterd any miracle in my life.i realised it was not because God didnt love me but it as because i had not invited God in my life.My encounter with God started when i got maried and was pregnant with my second child.We really needed this child so much so that i would visit our doctor each time i felt ill.I started to have complications when i was five months pregnant,by then my relationship with God was so strong and thus my hope for this bab
I was raised in Michigan, USA, in the ’50’s in a secular home. There was never any talk of God in my home and when I asked my mother what religion we were she said “just protestant”. My parents both had bad experiences with church. My mother was a poor little girl who loved to go to sunday school, but one day a man came to her and told her she couldn’t sit up front in church because her dress was not nice enough. She was very hurt and saw church in an altogether different light after that.
Growing up in a Christian family, i was born in faith. I knew how to Love God, to hope for the better, and to place all of my life in the word of our Lord. Like every human being, i grew up. I learned how to pray, how to talk to God , and eventually, how to preach the word to others. I’ve preached about our faithful Savior to most of my friends, and when i saw a glimpse of hope, i would help them to be Christians. I wanted every human being out there; every person; every mother,daughter,father,son,uncle,etc. to feel the Love, and encouragement,i had received all of my life from Christ.
It was with terrible sadness that I learned yesterday of another huge earthquake hitting the New Zealand city of Christchurch. It has only been 2 months since we left that city and we have many dear friends there. The first earthquake last year had no fatalities but this one looks to have many dead and injured.
I want to share a few things about our time in Christchurch that left me quite disturbed and concerned when we left. But I want to be sensitive because of the terrible sadness associated with this new quake.
Walid Shoebat, former islamic terrorist turned Christian, talks about the new islamic revolution that is happening in the Middle East right now. Muslims use a cover of peace. You can't believe anything they say in English. You have to know what they are saying to their own people in ARABIC.
I got sick years ago. It had no cure. It is only a matter of years before I see myself physically deteriorate. It was all my fault. My dreams and hopes were all fading in the background. My life was over. No way out. God was my only salvation.
I kept my faith. Prayed everyday for forgiveness, mercy and redemption. God answered my prayers. I am healed of everything!!!!! So please do not stop believing. Hang on to your faith. God is alive and working. He makes miracles. Believe in Him. Pray, pray, pray. Live you life with love. Forgive yourself. Ask for God’s forgiveness.
