This translates to me as a parallel of my life with my daughter.... I have tried and tried to "help" her and "instruct" her and "discipline" her.... I even tried to "love" her despite all that she has done. Jesus is telling me that it has been my lack of "serious" prayer that has hindered her progress. I have been under a new vision over the last few months. God has been revealing alot of truths to me. I have not done anything to cause her disobedience, but the only thing that can drive out this "demon" (as I would say it) is prayer. I have been praying, but I need to change my purpose in my prayer. It is not her I need to change. I need to pray to remove this overshadowing unclean spirit that has taken control of my prescious daughter. She is very delicate child, who has reason to be distrustful. What I need to pray for is that she not link mine (and all others who have tried cared for her) actions to Gods actions and purpose. We need to pray that HE separate her emotions and pain from her reality. I mean that she can see the human frailty in all of us who have hurt her NOT connected to what she sees Jesus as. It's like the DADDY complex we talk about. She has been deceived that she is undeserving of anything better and thus has paralyzed her from attaining her potential. She doesnt believe in herself and THAT has to be changed... AGAIN... the only thing that can drive this out is PRAYER! It is time for us to step into the background and work as God does, in secret ... to lift her up and SILENCE the enemy. This is not anything any human can do! What needs to change is how I SEE my daughter!  ReadLess

ONCE WE BECOME AWARE OF THE FACT THAT AS HEIRS OF GOD AND JOINT HEIRS WITH JESUS CHRIST , WE BELONG TO GOD'S OWN FAMILY , AND THAT HE WILL NEVER ALLOW ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO US UNLESS HE CAN USE IT FOR GOOD THEN THIS CONVICTION BECOMES THE COSMIC LOOM ON WHICH ALL OF LIFE IS WOVEN. IF WE DO NOT ACCEPT THIS FACT THEN WE WILL RESPOND TO LIFE IN NEGATIVE WAYS BY BECOMING ANGRY, FRUSTRATED AND IMPATIENT. ROMANS 8  ReadLess

Moses is given 3 signs. The first with the snake is supposed to be enough to let the people of Isreal know he is the God of their forefathers. The second, leprosy, is supposed to convince the more sceptical, but the water to blood is the final backup. http://gracethrufaith.com/ask-a-bible-teacher/the-three-signs-of-moses/ The serpent is a model of Satan. By turning the rod into a serpent big enough to frighten Moses and then having him pick it up by the tail (something no snake handler in his right mind would do since it left the head free to come around and bite him) God was demonstrating his power over Satan, something only He has. Throughout the Bible, leprosy is a model for sin. In his gospel to the Jews, Matthew had Jesus heal a man of leprosy as His introductory miracle. Curing leprosy was symbolic of forgiving sins, something only God can do. Blood is the symbol of life, something only God can give. So you have something only God has, something only He can do, and something only He can give symbolized in the three signs. To the Jewish mind, these three things would have clearly identified God as the power behind Moses.  ReadLess

Our Mission: Promote the faith by preaching the word accurately to all who will listen and telling them how to respond to it correctly. Peter in his first sermon told the story of Jesus and told those who were touched by it what they needed to do - repent Faith and Knowledge. But not just any knowledge - the knowledge of the truth. What good is knowing anything if you do not no the truth of the hope of eternal life in Christ Jesus. The hope of eternal life: Promised by God a long time ago, but now, realised and broght to light by preaching. This hope is the message that Paul was entrusted to proclaim - the Message and proclamation that has been passed down to us.

When trials come our way bringing pain and sorrow, do not be like the fool mouthing problems and blaming God and others. Do not wallow in self-pity and seek sympathy from those who will listen. Instead we must seek knowledge from God and strength to overcome whatever we face, give it all to him and ask him to ease our pain. It is okay to grieve but as hard as it may seem we must try to maintain a cheerful heart when the storms come. We must not let pain or fear or other emotions overcome us and destroy our spirit. Many times people will fall into the hands of the devil as he torments them with the past, causing them to hold on to their pain driving them to find temporary relief in the things of the world. We as Christians must keep in mind that the devil and his demons have no more control over us than what we allow. God is the one who is in control and it is his plan that is being carried out. As James 4:7 says, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." We have to forget the things of the past and focus on what lies ahead of us in Jesus Christ.  ReadLess
