“So they concluded, our only chance for finding grounds for accusing Daniel will be in connection with the rules of his religion.” – Daniel 6:5 Let’s play dirty. These leaders remind me of politicians in our own day. Here we have a man doing a great job and they want to take him down. Since they cannot point out faults in his work they decide to play dirty and attack his belief system. Yes the devil fights dirty and so … Continue reading →
“Then the other administrators and high officers began searching for some fault in the way Daniel was handling government affairs, but they couldn’t find anything to criticize or condemn. He was faithful, always responsible and completely trustworthy.” Daniel 6:4 I remember back when I was in school. Writing came naturally for me, as it does now. My English teachers tended to like me a lot because I could write well. God gave me a gift and I enjoyed it even … Continue reading →
“Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other administrators and high officials. Because of Daniel’s great ability the king made plans to place him over the entire empire.” Daniel 6:3 I recall another verse that basically says your gift will make a way for you. God gifted Joseph, as you likely remember, and thus he rose from prisoner to top leader. We now see Daniel doing the same thing. God gifted Daniel and Daniel used his God given … Continue reading →
“The king also chose Daniel and two others as administrators to supervise the high officers and protect the king’s interest.” Daniel 6:2 I want to take a few days to look at this popular chapter in order to glean the truths within. Sometimes I believe we miss the hidden treasures in such a passage because all the emphasis goes to Daniel and the lion and not to how we got there. So now we begin. Daniel is chosen to be … Continue reading →
I share with you this morning Daniel’s prayer, a revelation of what his God can do and has done. “Praise the name of God forever and ever for he has all wisdom and power. He controls the course of world events. He removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars. He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what is hidden in darkness though he is surrounded by light. I … Continue reading →
Do you find yourself living from paycheck to paycheck? Do you often feel overwhelmed, tired, and worn out? Are you in debt? Is there no enjoyment in what you do? If the answer to any four of these questions is a yes, then ask yourself a simple question. Why am I not living my dream? I find that most people go through life, just enduring it. They become numb to their problems. Things are just uncomfortable enough to complain, but … Continue reading →
“If any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally and does not play favorites, and he will give it to you.” – James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom?” We all lack wisdom at some point. Thinking about the choice of words here I think the words make a point I have rarely heard preached. Maybe you might want to rewrite it to say that when you lack wisdom, but by … Continue reading →
“So what’s wrong with being gay, anyway? It’s my sexual preference. What difference does it make? Didn’t God make us the way we are?” So many have struggled with homosexual desires that today there’s a growing confusion as to whether or not its wrong, and whether a person can really be free from it all. Where do we look for answers? There are a lot of “experts” who seem to come up with a new “answer” every day, but in … Continue reading →
Being sold to the global public as a super fast internet is the technology to connect together the disparate technologies of a global control grid. It’s called 5G – the latest wireless system that telecommunications companies are implementing to service wireless communication. We’re told it’s designed to allow faster downloads of more data. It uses the 28, 37 and 39 GHz bands, also known as millimetre wave (mmW) spectrum. 5G, which comes from the term 5th generation, is designed to … Continue reading →
“Make me to know your ways O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. For you I wait all the day long.” Psalm 25:4-5 Have you ever had a mentor, someone you looked up to for some reason? Was she that teacher who paid special attention to you and helped you work through something difficult? Perhaps yours was a coach who helped you become all that … Continue reading →
“Clap your hands all peoples. Shout to God with loud songs of joy.” – Psalm 47:1 If God brings us victory, provides for our needs, answers prayer, puts a song in your heart then why is it that when you enter the house of worship you must sit in quiet reverence and thus the atmosphere looks more like a funeral than a worship celebration? You get excited at a football game, especially when your team scores a touchdown. Does a … Continue reading →
“You walk into this room at your own risk, because it leads to the future; not a future that will be, but one that might be. This is not a new world: It is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated … Continue reading →
“We must not be like Caine, who belonged to the evil one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because Caine had been doing what was evil and his brother was doing what was righteous. So don’t be surprised, dear brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.” – 1John 3:12-13 NLT Yes, doing what we know to be right comes with a cost in this world. Go along to get along feels like the mantra of … Continue reading →
The Power of Fear The fear people have of what they don’t understand often manifests itself as distorting their ability to think and process information efficiently. I personally know people that are so traumatized by this coronavirus hoax they have isolated themselves and family members in their homes. When they do venture from their homes they are donning masks even in the privacy of their automobile or outdoors completely away from other people. Children are prevented from visiting their parents … Continue reading →
Many of God’s people struggle financially because they have a worldly view of financial prosperity which is summarized by the bumper sticker that says, “The one who dies with the most toys wins”. Understanding the true nature of financial prosperity will bring great spiritual and financial blessing. I encourage you to practice and preach the following principles. ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE, YOU ARE FINANCIALLY PROSPEROUS WHEN THREE THINGS ARE TRUE OF YOU: YOU NEVER WORRY ABOUT MONEY.“Do not be anxious … Continue reading →
