The Life is in the Blood
I shall never forget the day when I came so close to being united with my dear Lord Jesus. It was the tenth day of August in the year of 1992, and I was sixty three years old. It all started a month earlier one night just after finishing dinner. I suddenly felt a burning and gnawing feeling in my stomach, but I did not think much about the feeling. I assumed that it was just heartburn or maybe indigestion. Eventually the pain went away, and I went back to sleep. A couple of weeks passed, when one night I instantly woke up from a burning and gnawing feeling in my stomach again. I finally fell asleep but I decided to give the doctor a visit the next day to check … Read entire article »

How to Overcome Fear
How can I overcome fear in my life? This is a common question. The past few months, I’ve had opportunity to correspond on this topic. Here are some thoughts on the subject which I believe will prove helpful to you if you are dealing with fear. The dark. Strangers. Financial failure. Disease. Cancer. Accidents. Hunger. Death. These are all part of the many faces of the same enemy: fear. Fear is a powerful weapon which can be used to paralyze an enemy. Snakes use it to seemingly charm their victims into a frozen state in which they cannot seem to flee the advance of certain death. A lion’s roar is meant to do the same. If you are struggling with fear, you don’t need a lot of explanation as to what it can do … Read entire article »

Testimony of Kirsty Allan, UK
I’ve probably been a Christian for about 13 years; I give a ball-park figure because I can’t remember a blinding light Paul style conversion. I remember though when I was seven or eight having the opportunity in a Sunday school lesson to pray and ask Jesus into my life silently to myself. Before that I was always aware God was around somewhere, there to say a prayer to every night before bed, thanking Him for … Read entire article »

How to Teach Children About the Holy Spirit
Teaching children is always an adventure. Once you begin to share with children about the supernatural realm, some people become uncomfortable with just how to do this. This lesson talks about ways in which you can share some of the truths about the Holy Spirit with children. [display_podcast] Other ideas: Use examples and object lessons. Use testimonies (people you know, tapes, videos, MP3s, books). During your family prayer time, answer their questions, tell your own story. During group prayer time, find out if your children have any questions about what they hear or experience. During “revival” services, there are often great opportunities for children to experience more of God and His Spirit. Read and study Acts 2, 8, 10 and 19 with them. Also 1Cor 12-14. Pray for them and lay hands on them. … Read entire article »

How to Break Life Controlling Habits
Habits can be very hard to break. Once started, they are harder to stop. Some habits are good, while others can destroy us. How can you break bad, life-controlling habits? First, realize that God accepts you as you are. That doesn’t mean He likes your bad habit. But He loves YOU. Second, believe God’s Word when He says that you do have the power to change. It comes from Him. But Jesus will give you the strength to overcome any obstacle, no matter how great. As Bess ten Boom told her sister Corrie, “There is no pit so deep, but God is deeper still.” Paul spoke it clearly long ago in Philippians 4:19, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” Next, accept your own responsibility. Don’t ask God to help … Read entire article »
