    The View From Heaven Series

    Contributed by Tim White on Mar 15, 2013
     | 4,339 views

    In the battle of spiritual warfare, we are called to be ambassadors of reconciliation.

    I was reading blogs this week trying to put together what happened. From what I read, it was in the regional playoff in High School soccer in NC, and was considered by the bloggers one of the most embarrassing events in HS sports. (Bloggers tend to exaggerate, by the way). Apparently one team was ...read more

    In these last days God is going to use the apostolic and the prophetic anointing to perfect the church through the revealed Word of God as well as the prophetic word, which contains God’s special instructions for this season. The apostolic and prophet

    The woman who reached out to touch Jesus despite her uncleaness

    Touching Jesus Luke 8:1-3 & 43-48 It had been a busy day Teaching the crowds, going over the lake, calming the storm and casting out demons, then the return journey where he was surrounded by the crowds and approached by Jairus then Someone touched Him!

    The Embodiment Of God's Unremitting Love Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,808 views

    Jesus’s preaching differed from that of Jonah because Jonah prophesied judgement and vengeance, while Jesus embodied God’s unremitting love.

    Monday of 16th Week in Course 20 July 2009 Caritas in Veritate Before continuing a commentary on the papal encyclical Love in Truth, let me spend a moment on this analogy to Jonah. Jesus is saying to these Jewish non-believers, in effect, “Jonah eventually got it, and you guys will never get it.” ...read more

    Apparently only a few people must have noticed that a man with leprosy had been healed that day.

    Matthew 8 - Part 2 - DID YOU SEE THAT? SOMEONE JUST GOT HEALED! I went to a conference in Brisbane once in a large Church lead by Pastor Reg Kliminiok. After he spoke, I went to him to thank him for his message. I finally got my opportunity after others had finished speaking with him. He took an ...read more

    The Transfiguration Series

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Feb 21, 2010
     | 16,549 views

    The Transfiguration dramatatically demonstrated that Jesus is more than a simple Rabbi. To the disciples still struggling to figure out who He is, it a powerful revelation of Jesus' divinity.

    The Transfiguration Today we begin our journey to the cross, to that one Event that divided history in half, to the one Event that tore the veil between God and humanity. This one Event is specifically why you are here today and why, if you have faith today in Jesus Christ, your life is ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 11,392 views

    Now this is interesting. Demon possession, evil spirits cast out, people being healed and a prophecy from the distant past saying this applied to Jesus. Why aren't all people healed today when they come to Jesus?

    Matthew 8:16-17 - "MY SPIRITUAL BATTLE FOR A PANADOL" - Matthew 8 - Part 6 Demons! There was a time when I told the Lord that I would do whatever He wanted me to do EXCEPT CAST OUT DEMONS and do weird stuff like that with the occult. I now realise that Jesus power and authority far exceeds that of ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,191 views

    I have always thought that some CLAIRVOYANTS and some of those who prepare HOROSCOPES got their knowledge from demons. I have never been in doubt that WIGI BOARDS ARE DANGEROUS because they open people up to DEMONIC INFLUENCES.

    The greatness of a church is not measured in how many come into the church but in how many go out in ministry. The church gathers; then the church scatters. The church must go outside its walls to reach people who need the Lord. The effectiveness of our c

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 7, 2010
    based on 29 ratings
     | 9,464 views

    THE DESIRE FOR POWER IS OFTEN THE DOORWAY FOR THE DEMONIC. These men couldn't be bound by chains but they were certainly bound by Satan. They were almost completely under the control Satan, enslaved to him.

    Part 15 - Matthew 8:28-34 - AN UNHEALTHY DESIRE FOR POWER My daughter and son-in-law once lived in Parramatta in Sydney, quite near an old cemetery. It had historic significance for Sydney and was protected, I think, by the national trust. It angered me when it was vandalised. A part of our ...read more

    She touches the fringe of His robe in order to be healed. In Matthew 9:22 (NLT) it says "Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, "Daughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well." And the woman was healed at that moment." Are you in desper

    Have you ever felt like giving up? Have you ever wondered, even in what you try to do for God, whether it is doing any good? Let God be the judge of that!

    SEEMINGLY INSIGNIFICANT Text: John 3:1-16 Were so programmed to think BIG that many times we miss the power of SMALL!
