You either have power over what your drawn to, or what your drawn to has power over you.
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. James 1:14
We are all tempted by something and that something tries to draw us away.
We need Jesus in us!
True prayer means I’m out of the way, emptied of my opinions, emptied of seeing how it should be fixed. I surrender. I’m no longer steering the results. My wishes and desires are no longer my priority. They are gone. I have a problem, here it is, and you’re God and I’m not.
@nathangivey Amen! And I can say that in the times when I fell into sin, it was His love and that relationship that drew me back. It wasn't someone badgering me because of my wrongs and telling me to come back to God, but it was His tender mercy and love.
It’s possible to grow up in the church and the church not grow up in you...
It’s not enough to be around it and hear it your whole life.
Your relationship with God must be PERSONAL!
If you don’t LOVE HIM YOU WILL LEAVE HIM!
Fall in love with Jesus and be forever changed!
"As a leader I’m not only responsible for my core beliefs, but I’m also responsible for the beliefs of the people I lead."

It is the "Name" of the Father, not the title of Father, that is hallowed in the Lord's prayer. To revere the title "Father" is in error, as is being baptized by that title. Jesus said the devil is a Father as well. Jesus Christ is the only saving name. Hallowed be thy Name-Jesus
Jesus was born - GOD WITH US

If the next generation lacks what it takes to continue on....you have to lay that at the previous’ generation’s feet. God help me to train NOT criticize!
Judas had a front row seat to Jesus' ministry, baptized new converts, passed out bread to the multitudes & was commissioned for ministry alongside Peter, James and John. Ministry involvement doesn't guarantee purity of heart. There is no substitute for right relationship!
Go to church 3 times a week?
Pray 8 hrs a day?
Read 10 chapters of the Bible daily?
Give offerings every week?
Volunteer at a homeless shelter weekly?
But have a BAD SPIRIT against your brother/sister?
God would rather you quit all that other stuff and love EACH OTHER
Jesus said the Holy Ghost will bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:26 // The word “said” in that verse means either by word or by writing. When you read the Word of God you empower God to empower you. Read it all to be fully empowered.
1 God
One spirit
Father - God at work CREATING US
Son - God at work SAVING US
Holy Ghost - God at work IN US
Jesus the image(visible representation) of the invisible God Col 1:15
The father was in Jesus Col 2:9
Jesus died for us
Now alive in us through the Holy Ghost
King Herod told the wisemen when you find Jesus let me know so I CAN COME AND WORSHIP HIM TOO.
Herod wanted to Kill him.
Just because someone’s SPEECH is right doesn’t mean their SPIRIT is.
