Thank You, Father, that You are restoring the judges of our city as at the first and our counselors as at the beginning. We call our a city RIGHTEOUS- a FAITHFUL CITY. Isaiah 1:26 KJV: " And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city". Father, we declare that because we are SEEKING the peace and welfare of our city, and PRAYING to YOU for it, we are ENJOYING peace and welfare. Jeremiah 29:7 KJV: " And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace". Father, we declare that this city is being delivered because the believers of this city acknowledge our poverty of spirit, by not looking to our wisdom, but ddrawing from the wisdom that is from above. Ecclesiastes 9:15 KJV: " Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisd...

Are You Ready for Christ's Return? Good Reason “He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.” —Isaiah 53:2, NIV It has always been interesting to me that—outside of the hints given in Isaiah 53—the Bible does not tell us what Jesus looked like, nor were paintings or drawings made of Him during His lifetime. Artists throughout the centuries have tried to imagine what He must have looked like, but the truth is, we don’t know. And I believe there is a very good reason for this: God knew that if we had an accurate portrait of Jesus, we would be tempted to worship it instead of worshiping Jesus Himself. We could even lapse into a type of idolatry, and that would be wrong. But someday we will know what the risen Christ looks like, for someday we will enter into His presence forever. And when we do, the Bible says, “we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2, NIV). Then we will share in His resur...

Steps To Peace “I guarantee that you can know peace with God, peace of soul, peace of mind, and joy such as you have never experienced.” – Billy Graham STEP 1: GOD’S PURPOSE: PEACE AND LIFE God loves you and wants you to experience peace and eternal life. The Bible says: “We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” -Romans 5:1 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” -John 3:16 What keeps us from having the life God planned for us? STEP 2: THE PROBLEM: OUR SEPARATION FROM GOD God created us in His image. He gave us a will and the freedom of choice; we choose to disobey Him and go our own way. This separates us from God. The Bible says: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” -Romans 3:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” -Romans 6:23 People have tried to bridge this gap between themselves...

I LOVE THIS ANALOGY When GOD wanted to create fish, HE spoke to the sea. When GOD wanted to create trees, HE spoke to the earth. But, when GOD wanted to create man, HE turned to Himself. Then, GOD said: "Let us make men in our image and in our likeness". If you take a fish out of water, it will die; and when you remove a tree from soil, it will also die. Likewise, when man is disconnected from GOD, he dies. GOD is our natural environment. We were created to live in HIS presence. We have to be connected to HIM because it is only in HIM that life exists. Let us stay connected to GOD. We recall that water without fish is still water, but fish wiithout water is nothing. The soil without a tree is still soil, but the tree without soil is nothing. GOD without man is still GOD, but man without GOD is nothing.

More than 50 years old film, but still with the same message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! The answer to drug problems and violence in our streets!!! This is the true story of preacher David Wilkerson (1931 - 2011), who goes into the ghettos of New York to contact youth gangs and addicts to show them the love of God. His confrontation with Nicky Cruz , the feared gang leader, causes a dramatic change in Nicky and many others. The original events of this classic happened more than 50 years ago. Yet this was just the beginning of the life-changing message that David Wilkerson is able to bring to many helpless young people. The changes in the life of gang leader Nicky Cruz, as shown in the film, have proven to be lasting and real. Today, Nicky reaches out to young people around the world with the same life-changing message about Jesus Christ who saved him from despair. Watch this film or read the book.
