What You Can Do If You Have Become Hardhearted Towards God

Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you (Hosea 10:12). Fallow ground is unproductive, untilled ground. When I was young my dad bought some land far away from city life and built a house there. There were fields with various kinds of produce surrounding my house. One field sat unplowed for a long time. The government land bank program paid the farmer to allow it

The Three Ingredients of Repentance: Renounce, Submit, Obey

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord (Acts 3:19). Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. 20 Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah (Acts 3:19-20 – NLT). Repentance plays an important role in a fresh move of the Holy Spirit in individual lives, in a church,

It’s Time For Us As The Church To Own The Sins Of America!

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord (Acts 3:19). When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land (2 Chro

Is Your Conscience Tender Or Hardened?

Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin (Hebrews 3:12-13). While in Ethiopia years ago, I saw firsthand what can happen when a precious brother in Christ goes astray. A man who had walked with us, prayed with us, loved God with us, began seeking to prevent God’s purposes from coming to pass. Th

Repentance Has Three Ingredients

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord (Acts 3:19). Repentance plays an important role in a fresh move of the Holy Spirit in individual lives, in a church, and in a nation. John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus to begin His ministry: In those days John the Baptist came to the Judean wilderness and began preaching. His message was: Repent of your sins and turn to God, for th

Don’t Let Your Flesh Keep You From The Blessings God Wants For Your Life!

In Numbers 22-24, You can read the story of how Balak (King of the Moabites) tried to get the prophet Balaam to curse Israel. And what a blessing we receive when we read of Balaam’s response, How can you curse whom God has not cursed! (Numbers 23:8). As christians, we are the people of God, and are like Israel we are destined to be blessed! But there is an interesting twist in the story of Balaam. Though he could not entice God into the notion of cursing His own people, Balaa

How To Pray For A Believer That Has Fallen Away From The Lord

We all know believers who have for some reason fallen away in their walk with God. As Paul said they have become “shipwrecked” in the faith. In some way the world, the flesh, and the devil have made inroads into their faith life, and they are away from God and out of fellowship. I have found James 4:5 to be a real key in praying for these prodigal sons and daughters of God. Listen to it in these various translations: Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spiri

Don’t Allow Sin To Harden You

Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you (Hosea 10:12). Fallow ground is unproductive, untilled ground. When I was young my dad bought some land in a rural area and built a house there. There were fields of various kinds of produce surrounding my house. One field sat unplowed for a long time. The government paid the farmer to allow it to lie fallow. The ground in

If God is So Loving, Then Why Is There A Hell?

Many people simply can’t correlate the scriptural teaching of hell with a loving God. How can God allow people to suffer such a horrible fate if He really loves them? Many people surmise their own idea of who God the Father is and what He is like from their own thinking and from their own experiences. But we must go to Word to understand God. It may take our finite minds eternity to explore all of His ways and understand the infinite God completely! Notice Psalm 50:16-21: But

Don’t Allow The Negative Influences Of The “World” To Hinder You Spiritually

I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world (John 17:14-16). God’s people have always been a separated people. We are to shine as lights in the darkness around us. We have the influence of salt in a bland, sin-filled world.We brighten u
