It would be a lot easier to accept a negative answer from God if Jesus hadn't insisted on telling us about moving mulberry trees and mountains and receiving whatsoever one asks. But he did say all that, and when we don't get what we ask for, it leaves us feeling a little confused. We start to wonder why Jesus said it at all. The easiest cop-out for this is to say that your prayers aren't answered because you don't have the faith of a mustard seed. Remember? There were conditions we don't quite ...

If I may, as God is my Witness and Judge, when I was only 17 years young, God UNEXPECTEDLY gave me a VISION while I was in prayer. I was within that vision as a glorified Spirit-Being, whiter than glistening snow and like a brilliant white cloud with the sun shining on it, appearing smooth, dressed in a white robe - even my hair was that brilliant white - holding a Book in my hands and teaching two flesh and blood mortals who were sitting on the ground, in an outdoor setting like a park or ...

Thomas Jefferson was moved to remark: "My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!" NOT until drought, famine, and supernatural disasters strip our cupboards bare, and EMPTY our grocery shelves, will we know how good we've had it! Only when America goes hungry, will she remember how full she was! President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed April 30, 1863, as a NATIONAL DAY OF FASTING, HUMILIATION AND PRAYER, and ...

/p> Acts 16.9 "And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us." I had been seeking God's will for service when I read the above scripture. As I went to prayer and asked God to open the door of opportunity, I had the blessed assurance that this prayer was to be shortly answered. A couple of nights later, I went to sleep and had a dream. In this dream, the congregation of a small country church was holding ...

Faith Fellowship Church'PO Box 1586'Broken Arrow, OK 74013'Pastor Terry Dashner Some Basic Stuff' This particular scripture fascinates me. The scripture is Colossians 1:27 (NIV) and reads, 'To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.' The words, '...Christ in you,' blows my mind. How is it possible for God's only begotten Son, the Second Person of the Godhead Trinity, to live inside me? Why would He, God ...

At times when we think honestly, if we stop deceiving ourselves, we are forced to admit that life per se can become an unmitigated horror. Not only are we threatened by wars, financial shifts and joblessness, the calamities of nature and narcissistic manipulators, the very earth itself treats us with supreme indifference. The beautiful and productive world we inhabit slowly but surely converts every plant that sprouts a stalk and each creature that draws a breath into fertilizer to feed yet ...

Consider, The Past, Present and Future? Consider the past. A time when we were prosperous and growing? Consider the past, when God added to the church daily, such as needed to be saved. Consider the past, when many were healed and redeemed, many were set free from captivity, oppression and delivered. Consider the past, when, where there was a problem, we all met it head on and it was overcome. The Lord says consider it. Consider the Present. The European Union is getting Stronger. Consider ...

WHERE IS THE LORD GOD OF ELIJAH? 2 Kings 2 verse 14 "And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither and Elisha went over." I have been meditating on this passage of scripture for the last several days. Chapter two of 2 Kings tells the story of Elijah's last day on earth, before the chariot of fire took him in a whirlwind. Elisha was to be Elijah's ...

Jeremiah 6.16 "Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, we will not walk therein." Today, Wednesday, July 12, 2005, I rode by my old home church, Youmans Chapel. Seeing the church brought back many fond memories. The year was 1959, and I was in the second grade. The members of Youmans Chapel Baptist church called my Daddy, the late Rev. A.J. Rozier, to be their ...

B>FAITH THAT MOVES MOUNTAINS: The Way of the Peaceful Warrior is a great book that would allow people to see how they can cause change. It is written by Dan Millman who brings us the following from another of his books that are all worth contemplation. "On an otherwise ordinary day, an angel appeared to a young merchant and former camel herder, known by all in the city where he was born. The angel's words filled him with awe and dread--it told him that he was to defy his people's ancestral ...

Why Do Christians Get Sick? Part 1 In today's world we seem to blame God for everything. We say disease, sickness, and even death is an act of God or it is God's will. Shouldn't we stop blaming God for everything and turn to the Bible to see what it has to say about why Christians get sick? The Bible gives three reasons for sickness and physical problems; all of our afflictions fall into one of these categories. 1. To Glorify God In the Gospel of John, Chapter 9, verses1-3, we read of a man ...

Adam had it right when he covered himself with fig leaves. It's not that he thought it would cover his sin. He knew this was impossible. But suddenly recognized his own weakness, and he doesn't try to battle it. Instead, he covers it. Out of sight, out of mind. But when God asks him why, he comes clean, accepts his punishment, and and continues to cover himself. Now that's how we're suppose to do it. When you fall, admit it. Don't make excuses, don't pass the blame. Now that doesn't mean ...

One of the most important questions which needs to be answered today is the title of this article: "What Must I Do To Be Saved?" The answer to this question is important for those professing to be Christians and sinners alike. Why? Because the answer is given in the Bible and it is specific. The main thrust of our ministry is the admonition of those professing to follow Christ to be "Doers of the Word," or as the NIV renders it "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. ...
