    Don’t Play With Ghosts, Witchcraft Or Mediums

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 23, 2024
     | 1,003 views

    The Halloween Season seems innocent and as something laughable, but under the veneer is a real danger. God, who's much wiser than us, warned us to stay away from all witchcraft, necromancy, spirits, and satanism. Warn your friends of this menace.

    DON’T PLAY WITH GHOSTS, WITCHCRAFT OR MEDIUMS Deut. 18:9-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. This reminds me of the two old baseball players, Abe and Jake, who made a deal. Whichever one died first, he would come back and tell the other guy if there's baseball in Heaven. 2. A few months later, ...read more

     | 118 views

    Through Christ’s victory, believers can stand strong amid unseen spiritual battles by relying on God’s strength, prayer, and the armor He provides.

    Friends, welcome. Some weeks feel like a breeze; others feel like a battlefield. You wake up, pour the coffee, and before the mug cools, a storm swirls—tension at home, a cutting comment at work, a nagging worry that refuses to hush. The calendar looks normal. The room looks quiet. Yet the soul ...read more

    This Is War Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 13, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,803 views

    Though we face a defeated foe, we will ensure our own defeat if we fail to respect his power. God has provided us with armour and weapons that give us victory, but we must train ourselves to use them--then, we must use them.

    “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this ...read more

    based on 45 ratings
     | 9,705 views

    The devil is afraid of the Holy Ghost. Unfortunately, so is most of the modern day church. There’s no need to be afraid of having the Holy Ghost come upon you because He is already in you.

    You’ve Got the Holy Ghost TEXT – John 14:17 The same spirit that raise Jesus from the dead lives in you. The same spirit that lived in Jesus lives in you. You’ve got the Holy Ghost! 1 Corinthians 6:19 says you are the temple of the Holy Ghost. He walks in you. He talks in you. He abides in ...read more

    The Ministry Of The Night

    Contributed by David King on Sep 7, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,404 views

    Weeping is designed to endure only for the night. It has its place in our walk with God and our pilgrimage to Heaven. Developing the right attitude goes far in determining how quickly our night ends.

    “… AND THE EVENING AND THE MORNING were the first day." Gen. 1: 5 "For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning". Psa 30:5 THE MYSTERY OF DIVINE DEALINGS: God’s way is not our way neither His thoughts our thoughts. There ...read more

     | 7,791 views

    Everybody talkin' 'bout Heaven ain't goin' there. The Word of God is quite clear that many will be excluded from Heaven. The message is a plea to those who are casual about God to avoid this condemnation.

    “[Christ, seated on His throne] said to [John], ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But ...read more
