GOOD ANGELS MORE POWERFUL THAN EVIL ONES: WE NEED NOT BE OVERCOME NOR OVERWHELMED WITH ANYTHING

January 29 2020

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

GOOD ANGELS MORE POWERFUL THAN EVIL ONES: WE NEED NOT BE OVERCOME NOR OVERWHELMED WITH ANYTHING. See Eph. 2:2.

“It is expressly stated that Satan [as the prince of the power of the air] works in the children of disobedience, not merely having access to their minds, but working through their influence, conscious or unconscious, to draw others to the same disobedience.

SUFFERING FOR CHRIST’S SAKE?

November 20, 2019

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

SUFFERING FOR CHRIST’S SAKE?

“If anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but glorify God in this matter…Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God, commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.” 1 Pet. 4: 16,19.

“Many who profess the name of Christ, and profess to be looking for His speedy coming, know not what it is to suffer for Christ’s sake. Their hearts are not subdued by grace, and they are not dead to self; but it often appears in various ways; and at the same time they are talking if having trials. But the  principal cause of their trials is an unsubdued heart, which make self so sensitive, that is so often crossed.

The Great Gift-Giver

October 28, 2019

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

Our Father in heaven, the Great Gift-giver of “every good and perfect gift,” answers our prayer requests oftentimes not in a big, dramatic miraculous package but in little packages, delivered daily at our doorsteps  that we may be trained to develop to perfection gratitude and praise from the heart and lips— two of the noblest attributes of the saints of the last days.

We all should unlearn the unlovely and unsaintly tendency and habit of carelessly taking for granted the “little” gifts, talents and opportunities. “He who is faithful in the least will be faithful in much.” There is no such thing as a “small” or a “little sin here and there.”

Everything In The World Is In Agitation

October 21, 2019

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

“Everything in the world is in agitation. The signs of the times are ominous. The Holy Spirit is gradually yet progressively withdrawing from the earth, and calamity follows calamity by sea and by land. There are tempests, earthquakes, fires, floods, murders of every grade. Who can read the future? Where is security?

There is assurance in nothing that is human or earthly. Rapidly are men ranging themselves under the banner they have chosen. Restlessly are they waiting and watching the movement of their leaders.

COOPERATION WITH DIVINITY IS VICTORY

October 14, 2019

WEEKLY QUOTE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

COOPERATION WITH DIVINITY IS VICTORY.

“Let no man present the idea that man has little or nothing to do in the great work of overcoming; for God does nothing for man without His co-operation. Neither say that after you have done all you can on your part, Jesus will help you (Not “God helps those who help themselves.”) Why? “Jesus said, ‘Without Me you can do nothing.”

From first to last we are to be laborers together with God. And unless the Holy Spirit is allowed to work in our hearts, we will stumble and fail at every step. Man’s efforts alone are nothing but worthlessness; but cooperation with God means victory.

Beginning with ME

September 30, 2019

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

“Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against God, bringing into captivity in the obedience to Christ.” 2 Cor. 10: 5.

Before it was an act, whether spoken or written, it was first a thought spawned in the womb of the mind. Words and actions are windows into the mind, providing a sneak peek as it were, into the current character of the person, beginning with ME.
