Alleluia !!!
Up from the grave he arose
With a mighty triumph o’er his foes.
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And he lives for ever with his saints to reign.
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
April 3, 2015 by Leave a Comment
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
How Often Do We Still Deny Him Today?
April 3, 2015 by Leave a Comment
We were not there the day Peter denied the Lord but so often we are denying that we know Him by our actions, words and choices.
Matthew 26:74 Then began Peter to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man.
Dear Father
Help me in my daily walk, that I will not deny your presence in my life by my actions and words before the world.
Dear Child,
It is not so easy to deny Me while in My presence in the Holy Place. The test is when you leave that presence to walk in the Outer Court, where you mix with the world. Remember it was before sinners that Peter denied Me!
Many worship Me in church but the test comes when they leave My house! It is not how high you jump before Me, but how straight you walk in the Outer Court. Many swear their love for Me in My presence, but when the test comes in the Outer Court, they deny Me by their actions and words!
Thus saith Papa
1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven
Remembering His Agony in Gethsemane
April 2, 2015 by Leave a Comment
We are often exhorted in the Word that we should not faint, be weary, or lazy, especially when it comes to our time with the Lord. Nothing pierces my heart more than the account in the Garden of Gethsemane, when the disciples fall asleep during one of the greatest spiritual battles ever fought, during our Lord’s agony in the Garden the night before His crucification.
And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? Couldest not thou watch one hour? Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak (Mark 14:37-38).
We were not there in the Garden, but how often have we grown weary, and fallen asleep in the midst of spiritual battles? The Bible warns us therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

Fellowship of The Saints
April 1, 2015 by Leave a Comment
What a pleasure to spend a few days with our spiritual siblings Pastor Larry Hickey and his dear wife Carin, in their home in Winchester Virginia. We talked the days and evenings away around their table, sharing our trials and our victories, praying one for another, encouraging each other and praising our heavenly Abba Father for His working in each of our lives.
We were blessed to have the opportunity to share God’s miraculous touch on my body over the past few years when a tsunami hit my life, feeding the faith of others and fellowshipping at his cell group, Compassion Ministry.
Surely the past few days were truly what the Bible means when it speaks of “The fellowship of the saints.”
