    If you want to be truly blessed and be a blessing to others, let God break you of your self-sufficiency and sin.

    Recently, I came across an interesting set of statistics on sanity. According to the study, one out of every four Americans is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Now, think of your three best friends. If they’re okay, then it’s probably you. (Rita Mae Brown, Church Champions Update, ...read more

    Praying With Good King Hezekiah

     | 4,816 views

    Looking back on the last few months, do you feel like you’ve been praying more, or is it less? Is this a practice that has been strengthened with you, or has it struggled? Has the seeking become less diligent, or the knocking not so confident? A praying Christian is a living Christian!

    In Luke 11:9 Jesus says these words to us, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Simple commands, yet astonishing. For his words reveal the great privilege that we have when we pray. This is the heavenly power that we access whenever we ...read more

    When God Says No

    Contributed by Brad Stone on Sep 19, 2020
     | 7,215 views

    We never like to accept a "No" answer in our life, especially in prayer, but the fact is that there are times God replies to us with a firm No because He wants to reveal to us a deeper plan.

    When we were children, we never liked hearing the word 'No' when we ask our parents for something. We felt as though our every wish should be granted. If you say otherwise, we can pray later. Frankly, as adults, we feel the same way. We do not like to be told no in regards to ...read more

    The Holy Spirit And Gradual Healing Series

    Contributed by Steve Meenho Kang on Oct 26, 2020
     | 2,514 views

    Paul had a serious illness. He did not mention what it was. He prayed for healing, but God decided not to heal him. So, what did he do? Did he get upset, resentful, or discouraged? No! Through him, we must learn these important lessons on gradual healing.

    "My Grace Is Sufficient”

    The Lord Jesus promised us that His grace would be sufficient to sustain us, no matter what difficulties we encounter. This grace can flow from Him because He suffered worse than any human. He feels what we feel!

    “MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT” 2 Cor. 12:7-9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A couple was celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. They had both been exemplary people. Suddenly an angel appeared in front of them; “I have come to grant each of you one request: what have you always wished for?” 2. The ...read more

    When God Says No

    Like Paul, we all have a "thorn in the flesh." We can learn from Paul that God allows it, Satan sends it, and we can accept it. Because when we are weak, then we are strong, with God's strength on display through our weakness.

    2 Corinthians 12:7-10 When God Says No Have you ever received a “no” answer from God? It hurts, right? You think you know best, you really do. And then God says, “I don’t think so.” Well, it particularly hurts when you’ve been suffering, and not only does God not remove the suffering, but maybe ...read more

    If we are humble enough to ask, Christ will let His power rest on us to help us dear with the thorns we encounter in life.

    The year 1527 was the most trying year of Martin Luther’s life. On April 22 he was preaching in Wittenberg when he became dizzy and fainted.

    This statement of the Apostle Paul, “For when I am weak, then I am strong” is confusing and difficult for many to accept. Paul was not anti-power or wanted us to be weak. He was a very strong man in many aspects of his life. What did he really mean?

    Sometimes God says no. When you are weakened by His answer, He will strengthen you by His grace.

    The late Chuck Colson of Watergate fame shared his experience when God said NO. The great paradox [of my life] is that every time I walk into a prison and see the faces of men or women who have been transformed by the power of the living God, I realize that the thing God has chosen to use in my ...read more

    THIS THORN HAS A PURPOSE. The real revelation of suffering. God has a plan and a purpose. Suffering can reveal the heart OF MAN, not just the heart of God. Suffering can be a door to Presence of God. Suffering can be fertilizer for love.

    Paul’s life example ought to give us incredible encouragement to God’s power. We must submit under the GRACE of Christ before we can ever really live and must see ourselves for who we are before we can experience freedom.

    Grace: It’s So Much More Than God’s Favor

    In 2 Corinthians 12:9 the Lord tells Paul "My grace is sufficient." If God's grace is all Paul needed to deal with the messenger from Satan, perhaps there's more about grace that we need to know and understand.

    I have been reading 2 Corinthians 12 about the Apostle Paul and his pleading with God three times to handle “a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan” sent to stop him from preaching the gospel. The Lord’s response gives me goosebumps. “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for ...read more
