    When the times get hard (and they do get hard), I know it’s just temporary. It’s like when the rain comes, it can rain a lot or it can rain for days, but sooner or later the rain will stop and the sun will shine again.

    I Keep Him So He Can Keep Me" He is ever present with me; at all times He goes before me. I will not live in fear or abandon my calling because He stands at my right hand. The Voice Bible Psalms 16:8 How many of you know that life is full of ups and downs, one day theres, joy and ...read more

    Up Goes The Moisture, Down Comes The Rain

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 21, 2021
     | 4,407 views

    The Holy Spirit, and revival, have similarities to the processes of rainfall. Just as moisture must evaporate up before rain, so prayers & praise must go up. When heaven reaches the saturation point, you can expect rain!

    UP GOES THE MOISTURE, DOWN COMES THE RAIN Job 36:27-28; 1 Kgs. 18:43-44 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: WHOPPER OF A LIE 1. A young boy came home from his first day of school and confessed to his father that he told a lie. The father asked why he did it. 2. The boy said, "Well, dad, when they ...read more

    Rain is a part of life. Into each life a little rain must fall. A refreshing look at the value of life’s rainy days.

    Today being the first Sunday in April, I thought it appropriate to talk about April’s showers. You know the saying..."April showers bring May flowers." It’s been very dry here lately and like many of you I am excited by the prospects of rain in the forecast. We all know that rain can be both ...read more

    In this life that we encounter problems. Whether we prevail as champions or merely give up in the ship in the midst of the storm says a lot about our walk with God and how responsive we are to his voice.

    The first question we may ask is “Why Problems?” Now that I am a born again believer, it should be smooth sailing. I have the Word of God that says, no weapon formed against me shall prosper…I have 10,000 angels…if I have this why the bills? Why is my home life in a mess? Why are my children ...read more

    Many times we become discouraged if things don’t go exactly our way. We become angry and bitter and often we blame God. Accusing Him of not answering our prayers

    We have a certain idea of what revival is and how to get it. Take a good look at the 18th chapter of First Kings, and you may see it a little differenty.

    Not the Status Quo Revival from 1 Kings 18:21-41 James 5:17,18 17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. {subject...: of the same nature, that is, a fellow ...read more

    Our nation is walking the same road that Israel took centuries ago and lost all their blessings. Therefore it is imperative that the church rises up and takes hold of their responsibility to lead the people in a godly way so that we are renewed.
