How to get out of the herd and become a sheep who follows Jesus. Fantastic dream and journaling by Debra. It's all so easy to do! Read on...

"It was for freedom that Christ set us free." (Galatians 5:1)

God chose America to be a beacon of freedom and light. Today, He is again raising up a revival and reformation in our country.

Lord, we proclaim that righteousness be lifted up and that wickedness be removed. We proclaim a revival to sweep through Your Church in the United States and in every nation on earth! We choose to be a part of this revival.

Thank You, Lord, for allowing us to partner with Your plans and what You are doing around the world in our generation! Amen!
 

Listening to the news media can cause one to crash emotionally and spiritually. Jesus responds:

LaWanda - Oh, Jesus.  Precious Lord, Mighty Savior, I praise you this morning.  Your word amazes me, Lord, as you reveal in the notes of the Passion the details behind the verses. Your great design becomes evident in the smallest details.  Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes and laying in a manger.  Who would ever think that this would be a profound part of the story???  Oh Lord, I am in AWE of you.  Help me Lord to remember this moment that you indeed are in the details, Lord.   Thank you for revealing this to me. 

I get to exchange my guilt, heaviness, loneliness, fear, and inadequacy when I experience salvation. Salvation occurs when I exchange my life for Christ’s life. My lordship for His lordship. This is an amazing, exciting, energizing, and transformative experience! It is open for all. It is open to you.

Question: Lord, what do You want me to do? What is Your will for me? I want to be sure, so I don't make a mistake. I want to be guided by Your Spirit continuously. I want deep abiding fellowship with You through all the means You have prepared for me.

The news continuously presents us with the voices of mockers of truth and righteousness. It is enough to make you throw up your hands in despair, but don’t. The following is adapted from an assignment sent in by Craig Ward, as part of our “Through the Bible” materials. Full training modules are available here.

Do I have demonic derangement syndrome? Would I know if I did? How is it defined? What causes it? How can I protect myself against it?

And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. (Gal. 3:27 NLT)

Last week, I received a call from a prospect I hadn’t thought about for years.  He had an issue, he said, and within a 45-minute conversation we had an agreement for a consulting engagement to help him with the issue.
