     | 5,530 views

    When we accepted what Jesus did on the cross we had our sin debt canceled. So now what? We can have an improper or a proper response to our canceled debt. Last week we looked at some improper responses. Today we'll look at some proper responses.

    How To Maximize Your Joy

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 20 ratings
     | 3,656 views

    Sometimes the reason why we have not experienced joy is our failure to ask God for His deliverance and help. Jesus said, In John 16:24 - UNTIL NOW YOU HAVE NOT ASKED ANYTHING IN MY NAME. AKS AND YOU WILL RECEIVE AND YOUR JOY WILL BE COMPLETE

    1. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit; it cannot be manufactured by human effort. Paul wrote, "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy…(Gal 5:22,23) 2. Jesus wrote, "In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world." (John 16:33) Do not think that life will be bed ...read more

    Sometimes we like to pad the cross so that people aren’t accidental hurt by its sharp edges. Now it is okay to do this with our methods, but we must never pad the message. We must always represent the reality of the Cross of Jesus Christ is about.

    Our immediate reaction to a heartache, or a successful achievement that took years to overcome, must be one of getting ready for the next hurdle. If you don’t have any hurdles to jump in your life – if there aren’t any goals set for you right now – if yo

    Satan has already tried to attack God’s position in heaven and failed, so now he is about to try attacking God’s plan on earth. Chapter 13 describes in great detail the reign of anti-Christ up to his eventual doom at Armageddon.

    The Anti-Christ’s Reign of Terror Chapter 13:1-18 There’s only 31/2 years left before Messiah come with His saints – that’s you and I! In this chapter there seems to be an interlude taking place - all is quite on the Jerusalem front with false peace and false security. Satan has already tried to ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,584 views

    The same strategies that fail outside of God’s timing can work wonderfully within God’s timing. The patterns we see before Moses left Egypt are repeated as Moses left Midian, but they now produce success because God’s time is right.
