Controlling What YOU Hear By Watching What YOU Say
Controlling What YOU Hear By Watching What YOU Say:
If you’re going to listen to anyone you’re going to hear yourself. It does not matter what anyone in the world says about you, it means nothing until you allow it to get into your spirit and you begin to say what is being said to you.

The Big Choice
The Big Choice
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and eat with you, and you will eat with me.”
REVELATION 3:20, NCV
Jesus gives this invitation. To know God is to receive His invitation. Not just to hear it, not just to study it, not just to acknowledge it, but to receive it. It is possible to learn much about God’s invitation and never respond to it personally.
Yet His invitation is clear and nonnegotiable. He gives all and we give Him all. Simple and absolute. He is clear in what He asks and clear in what He offers. The choice is up to us.

Natural Talent
No one comes to this world without a gift or special talent that is not unique to him/her alone. The gifts that we bring are the tools we will use to experience physical life in our own special way. For some it is obvious, for others one may have to look a little deeper. The use of such gifts or talents are also subject to interpretation and are often used for purposes other than what we wanted to experience before birth. Most of us spend a lifetime searching for the connection to them.

A Merry Heart is Like a Medicine
Our bodies, like the body of Christ (the church) work best when every part is strong and healthy. But when one part develops an illness, our first reaction is to seek a doctor's advice for treatment so that we can ward off any further complications. If we don't take the necessary steps to healing, we become vulnerable for more serious complications to arise. This is also true among the church of believers. As a true Christian we must counterattack a
brethren who is falling ill and needs spiritual medicine for healing. How can you recognize a sickness?

Equal In the Eyes of God
There was a time in my life when I seriously wondered whether there was intelligent life on other planets.
As a child, I believed that we human beings here on the planet Earth were God's only children. I learned early on how special we were: we were made in God's image, to look after His planet. There was no other force in the universe (which I envisioned as a big, black void with our planet in the center) that could compare to us...
