The Evil Ruler of This World

by JoAnn on Nov.25, 2009, under Did You Know?, Reflections

It saddens me to learn how many people have come to believe that Satan is a myth. It comforts many to believe he isn’t real and neither is hell. Popular opinion may say they do not exist, but this does not make it the truth. Why not expore what the Bible reveals about the devil? (continue reading…)

Don’t let Satan keep you from prayer

by JoAnn on Nov.02, 2009, under Reflections

PrayerChristians have become so busy and filled our lives with so many activities, it’s often easy to neglect prayer. One may squeeze it in before bed or dash off a quick prayer on the way to work. Without the power of prayer, Satan gets a foothold and we become ineffective for God. Satan tries to confuse us so we question what it is God wants. We start to believe what the world tells us. This won’t happen if we go to God in earnest prayer. Satan will tremble and flee from us. (continue reading…)

He Will Strike Your Head

by JoAnn on Oct.07, 2009, under Did You Know?

God reveals His plan of sending Jesus into the world for the redemption of all mankind at the very beginning of the Bible.

Genesis 3:14-15: Then the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all animals, domestic and wild. You will crawl on your belly, groveling in the dust as long as you live. And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.” (continue reading…)

A Thorn in The Flesh

by JoAnn on Oct.06, 2009, under Did You Know?

Did you know that that the Apostle Paul was given a thorn in his flesh that God would not take away?

“So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud. Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

Sometimes there are eternal reasons for the trials we suffer now.
