Romans 1:11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; Age long practice has been to pass down blessings through the family line. All good parents continue this practice. I believe the genesis of this is seen in the book of Genesis: Genesis 1:28b And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: Genesis 49:28 All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel: and this [is it] that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them. In these times when people are carried away by the flesh and earthly wealth, we cannot afford to neglect the release of power by the hand of Father's, Elders and most importantly the Presbyterian: 1 Timothy 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. God does not ignore this grace, not even in these times. ...

Romans 1:4-6 and he was shown to be the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name. And you are included among those Gentiles who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ. We are part of God's family, having a place in His eternal kingdom. We are here, but we are citizens of heaven. We win here and win eternally. If only we remember what great calling we have. If only we know what a privileged adoption we have. If only we know how great was the sacrifice If only we know the extent of love. If only we know how much there is to lose or gain. WE WILL RE-LIVE OUR LIVES! Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard...

Romans 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. What is our testimony? Who do people say that we are? Does it really matter? Luke 9:18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am? Of course we could have misconceptions, people could label us wrongly due to ignorance, envy or mere maliciousness. What we should be interested in is our fruits, for Christ said: Matthew 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. And more testimonies: Ephesians 1:15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Colossians 1:4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love [which ye have] to all the saints, 1Thessalonians 1:8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that w...

Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; From the beginning, God's desire has always been to keep man from that which will destroy him. Yes many things exist, many of which we do not fully have understanding of, He warns us ahead of time to beware of. It is out of love that He warns of them for it is in our power to decide what path we take. Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. That power to decide or do we call it "free will" could become destruction if we do not seek His guidance. Just like children under the care of their parents do not know enough to make big decisions, the loving parents by rules in love guides the children till they are able to stand on their own. Proverbs 14:12 There is a path before each person that seems right, b...

1 Corinthians 15:57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. Situation or circumstances should not define us, yes we will face them but one thing is sure we have victory. That challenge would not define us it is only for a brief moment it will wither away because we already have the victory. We are more than this! The Lord has already won the important battles and even these lesser ones. Glory. Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. As long as our trust is in the Lord. We are not defined by whatever battle we fight, or the present situation, No, we have a fixed testimony and that is of victory. We are spiritually like the eagle: Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint. We don't cower below we soar above. Glory.  Whatever we lift, either goe...

Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Does it mean that all our prayers are answered with a YES? NO. We must have in mind that, when we pray, a lot of activities take place, we need to remember that we pray to change things. Do we also understand that when we change a part, the other part is automatically affected. We have people that may be requesting something that actually contradicts what we ask.  Take the case of the sons of Zebedee: Matthew 20:20 & 21 Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping [him], and desiring a certain thing of him. And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. Well we may all attack her as selfish, in fact, the other disciples were not happy with them. This is an illustration of requests that affect other things or other people. Our Heavenly Fa...
