The Abundant LIFE!






God is awesome! He is sooo goood!:) Thank God for sound doctrine. God answers prayer- sometimes years later but the prayers are always answered. The Bible says that Jesus came so that we can have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). Alot of TV preachers and even local preachers misuse this scripture. Yes God wants us to have an abundant earthly life but the ULTIMATE abundant life is in heaven with him- the ETERNAL life!........Many corrupt false teachers teach that this verse means that we are to be prosperous with money, cars, and houses. This couldn't be more far from the truth. God blesses his children but that does not mean that he intended for us all to be rich. If this were the case, there would be no missionaries- who literally lay down there total lives for the Lord. And please don't misunderstand being rich is not a sin but the love of money is. Ok, so back to the abundant life- our abundant life here on earth is being able to walk with God and talk with him and to just feel a "taste" of his presence. And this taste is more than enough cause us as humans could not withstand the multitude of his total presence!! Humans are fleshly and the world is of the devil- this is why we are not called to have an abundant life on earth. Our abundant life is with the Lord in eternity- do not be fouled by wolfs in sheep clothing who want to take your money. Instead let God be Lord of your life in all areas and you will experience his presence in abundance until the time of your ULTIMATE abundant life with HIM! Amen & Amen!

The Almighty God

God is good & he has an extraordinary way of comforting. As the song goes- "I live to worship him". Just to taste his presence is so wonderful. Nothing can compare to it. The trials and tribulations we go through are mere temporal situations at the end of the day. My father, my best friend next to my sister, recently passed and God has used his passing in so many ways and I believe he will continue to do so and not just in my life but in many other peoples lives. I miss him dearly but his death has helped me to realize even more so that this life is temporary. This is not our home- so things won't be perfect- regardless of what the "television preachers" say our finances won't be perfect, our lives won't be perfect, our families, our careers. But I tell you one thing, because God is the head of all these things in my life- I more and more realize that those things matter less and less. When you're in God's perfect plan and perfect will- how can things be wrong. In other words whats wrong is right! If I don't get the promotion, if I don't get the job or the car or house- then it wasn't meant for me and God is only preparing better for me. and not better by my standards but better by his and what "greater" standards than his!! I challenge you to walk in faith and not by sight!
