Cast Out Fear June 18, 2021 bizadmin Keep yourselves in the love of God. Jude 1:21 CAST OUT FEAR As you wait for the doctor’s verdict on the nature of those cells he saw in your scan or as you look at the dark mass on your X-ray, you can’t help but be filled with trepidation. You try telling yourself not to be fearful, but you can’t seem to stop fearing. Do you know why? Because you cannot reason your way out of fear. Fear is not logical. The only way to get fear out of your life is to cast it out, and the Bible tells us how: There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment. —1 John 4:18 You cast out fear by immersing yourself to the perfect love of God. Keep allowing His love to inundate you and drive out every fear. The Bible talks about keeping ourselves in the love of God. Instead of focusing on the pain in your body or the sickness causing your loved one to suffer, keep yourself in His love. Set your mind on the inexhaustible, infallible, and perfect love of your heavenly Father. You have a God who loves you so much He gave His Son to die on the cross for you. That, my brothers and sisters, is why you can always have rock-solid assurance he loves you. The Bible defines His love for us like this: God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 1 John 4:9–10 NLT The cross is everlasting proof of God’s love for you. The cross is the measure of how much He loves you. You must never judge His love based on your circumstances. The devil can attack your circumstances, but he can never attack the cross. Take your eyes off your circumstances and put them on the cross. That’s where God’s love for you was demonstrated once and for all.

As Youtube does not allow links to be added to the video, therefore, I use Vimeo instead to showcase my work. Behind all the celebratory message of Christmas, the true meaning was that baby Jesus was born to be crucified and died on the cross to save mankind from their sins, and to give us an eternal life in heaven. Indeed, every word of God is life to human beings and Man shall not live by bread alone; but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

Never Alone, Always Cared For December 17, 2020 bizadmin casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 NEVER ALONE, ALWAYS CARED FOR It does not matter how tightly knit our families are or how many close friends we have. When we go through a difficult time or trial, many a time, we still feel all alone and that no one really cares or understands. Martha knew that feeling. She had on one occasion cried out to Jesus, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone?” (Luke 10:40). Jesus’ disciples also knew what it was like to feel small, alone and in trouble. They cried out, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” when they were swept up in a terrifying storm (Mark 4:38). Today, maybe the cry of your heart is also, “Lord, do You not care that I am left all alone…that I am going under…that I am perishing?” My friend, the Lord does care for you. He loves you so much that He wants you to cast all your cares upon Him—not just some but all your cares. He wants both your big and small cares. There is nothing too small or big for Him. If it is a care in your heart, He wants you to cast it upon Him. When the apostle Peter wrote “casting all your care upon Him,” he was talking about the continuous act of casting all your cares upon the Lord. As a care comes, God wants you to cast it to Him. That is the lifestyle He wants you to adopt. Why? The verse gives us the reason—“for He cares for you.” You are casting all your cares upon the One who loves you, and who left all of heaven to come and die for you. That is who you are casting your cares to. It is not just any person, but it is the One who gave His life for you! When you are going through a difficult time, God wants you to believe that you are never alone because He Himself has said that He will never leave you nor forsake you (see Hebrews 13:5). As the object of His care, He will take care of you for the rest of your life. You are never alone and always cared for!

Faith Under Fire: New Faith-Based Film Starring Nick Vlassopoulos, Kevin Sorbo and Dean Cain Offers Hope to Those Who’ve Suffered Loss Collide Distribution, Iconic Events and Universal Pictures Content Group released the trailer premiere of the upcoming film “Faith Under Fire” exclusively to The Christian Post on Monday. Actor Kevin Sorbo says the inspiring movie has a timely message. Set to release in select theaters on Dec. 1, “Faith Under Fire” features several popular actors, including Sorbo (“Hercules,” “God’s Not Dead”), Dean Cain (“Lois & Clark”), and Nick Vlassopoulos (“Detroit”). The faith-based film is set to showcase the journey of grief, forgiveness and finding the courage to rise above. The Joel Paul Reisig-directed film shares the story of fireman Tom Hatcher (Vlassopoulos), “who is at the end of his rope. He saves lives in his job but could not save his wife from cancer, and now his daughter faces the same battle. From an unlikely friend, Tom is challenged to face grief and embrace faith in his darkest hours,” the film synopsis reads. “With so many people facing unthinkable challenges, we need more stories of hope on the big screen,” Sorbo told The Christian Post. “‘Faith Under Fire’ shows that, even in tragedy, God is with us. That’s a powerful message we all need, now more than ever.” President of Collide Distribution Bob Elder echoed Sorbo’s sentiment and believes the film could not be premiering at a better time. Synopsis After an exhausting night saving a young girl from a raging house fire, Fireman Tom Hatcher is at the end of his rope. He couldn’t save his wife from cancer – and worse yet – his 6-year-old daughter, Tiffany, is now facing the same possible fate. When he finds himself in a cold jail cell after attacking a pastor out of frustration with a seemingly absent God, Tom begins to reflect on his downward spiral into despair. But with the help and persistent friendship of the very man he assaulted, Tom is challenged to face his grief and embrace faith in the darkest hours of his life. Review This movie offers a wonderful truth: faith will take you through the fire! Tom Hatcher is a fireman who has fought his share of fires. But none compares to the fires in his personal life that he will have to navigate. He loses his wife, Sara, to cancer, and then shortly afterwards learns that his daughter, Tiffany, has cancer too. In an unforgettable scene, Tom enters the door of a church as Pastor Dan Underwood (strongly portrayed by Dean Cain) is greeting his congregation with an “It’s good to be in the house of the Lord!” Pastor Dan reveals he is beginning a series, and he opens up in Ecclesiastes 3:18. The series will be titled “There is a Season” and he plans to speak about the various topics in this chapter, including the passage that there is a time to be born and a time to die. From the back of the church a hurting Tom challenges the pastor. “Where are these miracles?” he demands. “When will God come down and do these miracles? Where’s the Almighty to help the people? Where is the King?” Pastor Dan steps down from the platform and goes to the man. “He knows our pain and is acquainted with our grief,” he says. When the pastor begins to speak of faith Tom belts him and knocks him down! Fortunately, the story doesn’t end there. One of the pastor’s statements becomes a theme of the film: “Doubt is the yeast that spoils the whole loaf.” He and Tom meet again as Tom apologizes and Pastor Dan does his utmost to help Tom travel the path of pain and disappointment. As the pastor points out, God puts people in our lives that love us and help us along the way and our faith in God’s love is essential to maintain peace of mind. One of the persons that God places in Tom’s life is a nurse, named Melissa, and Tom’s own daughter Tiffany believes that her mother would even be pleased if Tom were to marry her. Melissa is a warm person, compassionate, and patient. She knows Tom has been through a lot with the loss of his wife and the serious illness of his daughter. However, when Tom misses a dinner date with her and winds up instead at the bar, it soon becomes questionable whether he will get another chance. Tiffany’s health goes up and down, with good days when she is even able to return home from the hospital, to the not-so-good days when she winds up back at the hospital. When Tom attends church with Tiffany, the ushers are not aware that Tom and Pastor Dan made peace, and they ask him to leave. It will take a lot of perseverance and convincing for Pastor Dan to get Tom to return to the church. Another person who is placed in Dan’s life is Tiffany’s doctor, Dr. Robinson, a Christian who is not ashamed to tell Tom he is praying for Tiffany. Kevin Sorbo gives a powerful performance as the doctor, especially when he has to sit Tom down to give him some difficult news. The movie does a good job in laying out the painful moments of life, but also in offering hope through faith in God and the help of caring people. The actress billed simply as Tenley is terrific as Tiffany, giving a layered performance as a young, compassionate girl who is also wise beyond her years. Likewise, Nick Vlassopoulos gives a solid performance as Tom Hatcher. Although there are some depressing moments in the film, such as when we find out about Pastor Dan’s pain from the past, there are several shining moments when hope is offered for the warriors of God to march forward.

Jesus Makes All Things New August 28, 2020 bizadmin All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. John 1:3 JESUS MAKES ALL THINGS NEW Any electronic product which you buy usually comes with an instruction booklet which says, “Send only to authorized dealers for maintenance and repairs.” Similarly, when something in your body or life breaks down, you go back to Jesus, your Creator and Maker. You go to Him because God’s Word tells us that “all things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” The Bible says that in the beginning, God created everything by speaking (see Genesis 1), and Jesus was the Word who caused everything to come to pass (see John 1:1–2, 14). So when relationships in your family break down, when your finances are low or when some part of your body isn’t working properly, you go to Jesus who can fix it and even make it better than before! A mother from our church testified of how God gave her a brand-new daughter who used to be a very rebellious teenager. The day the girl gave her life to Jesus marked the start of a new life with her family. She also became the face to look out for in the national swimming arena. When asked by reporters about her record-breaking feats, she told them that it was Jesus who did it all for her! A lady once approached me and said, “Pastor Prince, I don’t know if you still remember me, but I came to you before when I was a divorcee. This is my husband—the same man I divorced some years ago. We remarried and these are our children!” Now, this doesn’t usually happen in cases where divorce has taken place, but this couple looked to Jesus and saw their broken family made whole! When man puts something that has been broken back together, it is usually not as good as before. But when Jesus does it, all things become new (see 2 Corinthians 5:17)! The One who made the heavens and the earth is more than able to make it better than it was before!
The Blood Alone Saves June 18, 2020 bizadmin Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you… Exodus 12:13 THE BLOOD ALONE SAVES On the night of the first Passover, many of the children of Israel were probably anxious. Imagine one Israelite asking another nervously, “Did you hear that the angel of death is passing through tonight?” “Yes! We were told to put the blood of the lamb on the doorposts of our home and everything would be all right. Is that true?” Like the Israelites, you might be wondering, “Can the blood really protect me? How much blood do I have to put on my doorposts? Will the angel of death get me if I am fearful?” My friend, don’t add to God’s conditions. He said, “When I see the blood, I will pass over you and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you.” He did not say, “When I see the blood, plus your understanding, efforts, obedience, faithfulness, and refusal to give in to fear, then I will pass over you.” It is the blood of Jesus alone that delivers you. If you think that it is because of your faith, then you will always be wondering, “Do I have enough faith?” No, my friend, it is His blood alone that saves. And when God sees that you see that it is the blood alone that saves, He calls that faith in the blood, and every plague will pass over you! God wants you to know that it is Jesus’ blood alone that saves because every time you think that your deliverance depends partly on God and partly on you, you will not have a settled peace in your heart. But when you know that it is the blood alone that saves, you will have an unshakable peace. It was the blood that saved the children of Israel from the destroyer on that Passover night and it is still the blood that saves today. And all you need to do for the blood to avail is to say, “Father, I thank You that the blood of Jesus alone covers me and my family. No evil, plague, or disaster will befall me or my family because of the blood!”
Prayer to the Holy Spirit May 31, 2020 bizadmin After I discovered my bringing in worship I had been so hungry and thirsty to be aware what worship is about by when I have spoken with other worshipers I acquired annoyed by the solutions they gave in my experience, since the solutions they have me were just words and people’s encounters, couple of were teaching me about the significance of the Holy Spirit in worship. For more information on the holy ghost, visit our website today. It had not been to serve you for a couple of years later which I learned the job from the Holy Spirit. It is good to understand people’s encounters in worship but don’t make sure they are the foundation of the knowledge of worship. Make use of the word as the basis to know worship and it is important. “Howbeit as he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he’ll show you into all truth: for he shall not talk about themselves but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and that he will shew you items to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you”, John 16:13-14 1. He’ll show you into all truth “However the anointing which ye have obtained of him abides in your soul, and ye do not need to that any man educate you: but because exactly the same anointing teaches you of the things, and it is truth, and it is no lie, as well as because it hath trained you, ye shall abide in him”, 1 John 2:27 “But ye come with unction in the Holy One, and ye know everything”, 1 John 2:20 The Holy Spirit may be the Teacher he’ll educate all of us things not only from the physical world but additionally from the spirit world. If he’ll educate all of us things can’t we ask to become trained to worship in the way that God wants to be worshiped. 2. For he shall not talk about themselves but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak The Holy Spirit is a teacher and all sorts of he teach from God. Jesus stated everything I actually do I see my dad doing as well as in this scripture we learn that the Holy Spirit will educate us shall originate from God. Allow the cry in our hearts be that people learn and be familiar with the worship of God The number of people has ever requested Him to educate us about the worship of paradise? Are we ever availed ourselves to understand from God the way through which he wants to be glorified? 3. He will highlight items to come He’s endowed having the ability to be aware of things of paradise, He’s insight from the move, and also the things of God. God is identical yesterday today and tomorrow but have you ever observed that God evolves daily. The Holy Spirit knows the items in the future and we have to learn to follow along with the Holy Spirit to ensure that we might understand how to bring things for the reason that lie ahead and produce them into the present through worship. The growing season has become that people as worshipers pray that people could see because the He hears and sees because he listens to that particular we might worship within the prophetic and institute things through the spirit of god which only works with the spirit of God 4. He shall glorify me “Wherefore I provide you with to know, that no man speaking through the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: which no man can tell that Jesus may be the Lord, but through the Holy Ghost”, 1 Corinthians 12:3 Glorify way to bless, to honor, to exaggerate, and also the Holy Spirit shall do all it tries to bless God, so even just in our worship the Holy Spirit works to glorify God, in the order he guides us he only intention would be to glorify God. Then when we worship using the Him you’re guaranteed to encounter God since the Holy Spirit’s objective would be to glorify God, then when we stand beside him we’ll finish up blessing God everywhere using the direction and leading from the Spirit. 5. For he shall receive of mine and shall show it unto you Whatever God reaches the Holy Spirit what he’ll also show us. The term show there means to reveal, speak, tell announce. The amount of God has his Spirit proven you? One man authored it’s very difficult to worship a God you do not know and have an understanding of. What if God has got the Spirit proven unto you inside your existence, revealed for you. Don’t worship God according to your neighbor’s, friend’s or parents thought to seek your personal understanding of God, seek your personal thought of God. Sit lower and permit the Holy Spirit to educate the person from the Holy Spirit. Whoever else caused by the Spirit which makes you definitely stand and worship in your unique way? Whoever else caused by God which makes you stand and worship him through the night without complaining? Regardless of the Spirit shows us it is a blessing from the Lord provided to us. The Spirit of God is working night and day on your lawn, my real question is maybe you have permitted the Holy Spirit to change your existence, to change your worship, help your thought transform you to become a servant from the Lord Jesus. Maybe you have permitted the Holy Spirit to access for him to re-calibrate and remodel your worship? Maybe you have sitting lower and requested God to fill you using the Holy Spirit, Pray beside me at this time… “Father I thanks that you’re a good God and you love me, I appreciate selecting me and running after me and today I select additionally you. I wish to also chase you and also today I ask that the Holy Spirit would fill my existence and remodel all things in my existence from my understanding, thought individuals, my worship, enhance and open my ears and eyes to ensure that I might know you more. May your Holy Spirit educates me to worship you daily and from today I prefer to get brought through the Holy Spirit in most I actually do. I appreciate this gift from the Holy Spirit, I appreciate transforming my existence to ensure that I might magnify honor and glorify your company name for eternity. Thanks, Lord. Amen.
