Jesus is always going to care for you no matter what. He is always there to immediately help you if you will but only believe. John 3:16 is based solely on your trust in Jesus alone to take you to heaven. You can't ever be good enough on your own to go there. No, you have to have help. That help is Jesus. The further you get away from the Bible the harder you will make things for yourself but it you will but trust the scriptures believing they mean what they say and they were said for YOU then you'll find help always and FAST and no one will be able to stop you. That how God designed the system. He is all we ever need! If something is broke then ask God to fix it in Jesus Name. If you need something then ask God for it in Jesus Name. This is the THEME of the entire Bible you will notice as YOU read it. Other people might tell you differently, but you go by what YOU READ in the Bible. God Made This Easy!!! He really did!

YES THEY DO! We have been trained by years of bad teaching that God just makes everything happen when and if He wants to and there's nothing we can do about it! That couldn't be further from scriptural reality. You will continue to believe all your prayer will not be answered if you continue to believe this way. Take Mark 11:24 for instance. How on earth can you "believe your recieve" if you have no idea whether or not God will get it for you because you feel He might not want you to have something or not. Check the Bible out for yourself. Don't quote what other books say or what people have taught you. Look to the Bible for the answer to your prayers. You'll find that you should be asking and recieving WHATEVER you ask for. How else could Jesus say THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE FULL? Stop doubting and start believing and receiving what you ask for EVERY TIME in JESUS Name!!!

Its incredible how much unbelief we have over this issue. We give every excuse like "its too difficult" or "God wants to punish me" or "I've sinned too much" or "I sinned one big time" or "God doesn't heal anymore" or "God doesn't heal everyone" and on and on we could go with excuses. None of them are right in comparison to the way the multitudes were healed by Jesus and how He instructed His disciples to heal from city to city. So where's the problem? Well, you tell me! Why is it that you don't know healing is for you? Why is it that you don't know healing is for everyone as stated by Jesus in Mark chapter 16 under the signs that follow EVERY BELIEVER that "THEY SHALL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK AND THEY SHALL RECOVER"? See we are basically pessimistic at heart! Don't feel alone. The disciples felt the same way even watching Jesus day after day. Peter walked on the water, but then began to sink as we

Easier said than done we hear, but truly it is easy, but will we do it? Well, the chips are down and yes we need to or its silly for the Bible to tell us to "NOT WORRY"! Worry is actually the part of us that says God's Promises (The Bible) WILL NOT HELP ME SO THEREFORE I'M SO SCARED! This is totally understandable, but we have to learn to TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT instead of just enduring our problems til they go away! Actually prove to yourself there's HOPE in the Bible for your own situation! Remember things like "All things are possible to him that believes" (Mark 9:23) Look that up! It was a dire situation for somebody and they actually complained to Jesus that even Jesus might not be able to help them but Jesus fired right back at the person saying "OK, Forget it if YOU WON'T BELIEVE"! The person then screamed "LORD, I BELIEVE, HELP MY UNBELIEF"!!! Wow what a story! This is us many times! We feel its hopeless and we just quit! Never qu

We are so bugged in our minds sometimes about what other people think of us. We certainly don't think everyone approves of us so when it comes to thinking of God we gravitate toward thinking He doesn't approve of us either. This could NOT be further from the truth. We can't save ourselves. It takes Jesus and Him only to accomplish this great task. Why is it we must now feel that to have God's help in our daily lives we must be some sort of "Super Saint" that is so perfect God just has to help us! None of that thinking is the truth. Last I checked we still are required to pray in the Name of Jesus instead of in our own names. None of us are going to get our prayers answered based on our own merits anyway so we need to stop acting this way in front of God no matter what you've every done wrong. Sin is not the problem. Unbelief is the problem. Ask yourself did the Prodigal Son wind up worse off after he came back home. No! He got a ring for his finger, shoes for hi

This should really be a "no brainer" here, but many times we fall back to the same old UNBIBLICAL belief that God wants us either hit rock bottom or be poor or some other foolish belief. This couldn't be further from the truth of the Bible. How many people in the Bible were used of God and were just dirt poor as a result? That should be an easy question to answer! Zero! I"ve been young and been old David said in Psalm 37:25 and i've never seen the Righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread! Our own ignorance of the Bible keeps us in trouble. Faith is always the answer and concerning finances and especially your own you'll continue to stumble if you never can believe financial miracles are FOR YOU! History teaches us that the Jewish people have always been tremendously rich. Why are all the jokes so funny about the Jews having control of the money if it were not so. How is it then you and I can believe so strongly that God wants us to be poor! It's ridiculous!

Its our responsibility to believe. Things just did not happen to people in the Bible because they sat there and didn't do anything. They believed God. God requires faith. Anyone can believe there's a God but God is requiring more than that. Believing that not only does He exists but that He will help you in your time of need. (Hebrews 11:6) The story of David and Goliath was one of faith. David would have never tangled with Goliath if he didn't have faith. 1 Samuel 17 paints the story completely from beginning to end of David's faith that the Lord would give him victory over Goliath. A very simple story but very explicit one when we compare our own faith today with David's when we encounter difficulties in our lives. Will we run toward Goliath believing as David did to slay him or will we be afraid like the rest of the Israelite soldiers when we face life's difficulties? I just bet you'll act like David if you read your Bible and decide every story was meant for y

Yes you do! We all have to set aside our traditions and get real with ourselves and the Bible. Listen to this fantastic message about how Angels are there FOR YOU. Everyone wants to think they are for little children or for someone else but how little we believe they are SENT to PROTECT us. We should be just as confident that Angels are around us as we are about believing that Jesus will take us to heaven someday! The Bible never expected us to NOT believe in Angels. The Bible takes for granted that you KNOW these things. Set aside all the stories and beliefs you've ever had about how rare Angels are in people's lives and step up the TRUTH of God's Word and KNOW today there are Angels encamped (circling) you at all TIMES. What? You think you've been lucky or something all these years? Angels were there and are THERE! You'll see more miracles if you'll do your part and stop worrying and start believing God has Angels there to keep you and your loved ones safe at all tim

Its true self condemnation will ruin the life of any believer even if its for just moments at a time. We are all so concerned about our heavenly appearance either to others or just to ourselves or even fearing what God may think. Let's step back a minute and think about the obvious from the Bible. How often did Jesus refuse to forgive people? None that we can ever recall, right? He always forgave! Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever! Jesus must still be forgiving! Of course He is. We'll then say "yes He forgives, but He's upset with me!" All of this is a vicious cycle designed to discredit what our Lord Jesus did for us! If you self condemn yourself without reminding yourself of the forgiveness Jesus purchased you then you actually are making more of a deal about your mistake then the price Jesus paid to have that sin removed. No where does the Bible tell us to feel so sorry for our sins that we don't accept our forgiveness and move on

It's just interesting to see in the Bible that the very essence of praying is between YOU and God and that He guarantees you to give you what you ask for! See! Exactly the moment you read that statement you even now thought to yourself "No He never said that" or "He won't do that all the time". The truth is when you study the bible you do see promise after promise GRANTING YOU YOUR REQUESTS! However people still do NOT pray because (and I don't blame them) if you are taught all the time "it might not work, probably won't work, we are playing God here, or God just thinks its cute to see His children pray". Hearing those things who would want to pray. Ah, but what says the Scriptures? Oh my gosh! This opens the heavens up and starts the miracles you need! Remember Luke 18:1 (Living Bible) Keep on praying til the answer comes! This means what you asked for! Quit giving up and making excuses just because you didn't see the answer in 5 minutes or 5 d

Again, check your Bible. To go without is not right. God will always provide abundance. He chooses to do this to show us He is God and that we don't need to be chasing after other so called gods. This is proven over and over in the scriptures but you have to read for yourself to be convinced. I'm not just going to say the Bible supports my message. Quite the contrary this message will be the Bible so you can see for yourself. We have all these crazy ideas of why we believe God will not be there for us because perhaps He needs to punish us or some other unknown plan of His. Try to explain that to the birds of the air in Matthew chapter 6. Jesus Himself said they don't worry and we are of MORE VALUE THEN THEY! Oh the unbelief we possess! Much of the time we hear the voice of condemnation ranging from our own minds telling us how sinful we are to listening to preachers who feel the only message is to point out how awful we are to the Lord. Strange as it may seem Romans chapter 2 tells

If we can believe God will take us to heaven by simply believing in Jesus then its absurd to think He won't heal us for the promises are identical. Traditional thinking has gotten the best of us. Knowledge of healing for us all in the bible has been like a deep dark secret to many a christian. Some think healing is NOT in the bible for us while others say it is. The fact of the matter is "what do you think"? Lets find out for ourselves and if it so then let's do the honorable thing and just TRY to act like the Bible is true and begin to watch God really help us. You will find out He does want to heal you and He wants to "TODAY" ! Ask yourself when you would want your own children to be healed if you could help them. I don't think you would delay it for a second and try to explain the reasons why mommy or daddy want you to be in pain a few more days or even years. I'm sure you'd say RIGHT NOW, TODAY! Well, God loves you more than you can even begin to love

This is so simple yet we make it so hard to give ourselves an excuse for our unbelief. Faith is easily understood as compared to unbelief. Do you believe your friend or not when they tell you something? As we learn our friends we know when they are teasingly telling us the truth or not. Sometimes people we do not know we have to decide do we believe them or not. Stated differently, do i have faith in them or not. Why is it we think faith is so optional when dealing with God? It cannot be or otherwise it would certainly make us look disrespectful. Sometimes people just don't know what all God said He would do and they never know so how could they ever have faith or trust shall we say He would do anything. Let's take for granted we have a record of what God said He will do for us and its written down in a very accessible book called the Bible. Faith would be if either you or i or both of us decided to believe that the things God said He would do for us we simply chose to believe were so and

Great question? Why is it in your Bible? It's clearly all about David and some problem he was facing. Then why is it in your Bible? That's a great question too! We certainly already believe in God so we don't need to know about how powerful God is. What is the reason for this Psalm? Simply put it was personal for David because it's personal for YOU TOO! We are all but ignorant if we do not take on this Psalm 18 and use it for ourselves. Simple study would understand David as King of Israel sent this Psalm over to the choir director to be sung at least weekly if not daily for everyone to hear around Jerusalem. For it to be exclusively for David personally it would never have been made a Psalm. How many times have we all heard "the Psalms are not for us today"? Incredible unbelief we surround ourselves with every day. With that kind of thinking then we need to toss out the 23rd Psalm as well, and that would be absurd. Well, then tossing out the 18th is just as absurd.

This is the personal side of Redemption! It's so important that we believe for our own selves how great this redemption truly is. Who are we to determine how little Jesus did for us by assuming all there is can only be at ticket to heaven someday. That alone seems fishy if that were all redemption includes. Some even say Redemption is only then the heart of a person being changed into something more useful for God. Well, these things are certainly included in the effects of Redemption, but there's so much more or Jesus used the wrong words saying "And have it more Abundantly" in speaking of Eternal Life. Why even did Jesus describe the rich blessings of the Prodigal Son returning home after the son's return home from wasting his father's inheritance. Jesus ruins a great opportunity to show how angry God must be with all of us by confusing us with "rings for his fingers, shoes for his feet, the best robe, killing the fatted calf and music and dancing!" This is j

This is so wonderful that any child or adult has now the ability to share the wonderful story of Jesus by simply saying "look at me and what Jesus is doing blessing me so"! Somehow over the years we've lost this fundamental part of the message but much like Martin Luther discovered "The just shall live by faith" its been rediscovered by so many through reading the Bible that we are indeed supposed to all be richly blessed. Everyone of us can claim difficulties and be the champion for who's had it the worst or at least in our own minds. The real challenge is to drop this thinking and take Jesus at His own words and believe He wants to bless you personally. Stop claiming you are the worst sinner ever born for Paul the apostle already claimed that position yet he still knew he had the same marvelous Grace that we all benefit from. Its a pity when we don't accept God's richest blessings because we feel we don't deserve them after all the price our Lord Jesus pai

We can deny all these blessings all we want to publicly or even privately but they'll still be sitting here waiting on each one of us the moment we release all our unbelief. When did it ever become our responsibility to bless ourselves? We live in a society where the miraculous has to be completely explained. Try to take a step back and realize that God really exists and that He really wants to bless you. Stop making excuses that you are such a sinner and God doesn't want to bless you. That's ridiculous! Jesus didn't die for Himself. He died for your sins! What else will you accept as the reason you can't be blessed just like all the rest of God's people in the Bible. They were sinners just like you and me and still had God's richest and best! You can too! Doing without these wonderful blessings will not get you to heaven. This isn't proving anything to God except your own ignorance or unbelief. Taste and see that the Lord is Good! Its ok! He's got p

The truth is God is much more powerful than the Devil could ever hope to be. Many times we believe we are simply at the mercy of this merciless enemy and its not the truth. Redemption is a financial word. It simply means to purchase. We have been purchased legally from the hand of this merciless enemy but we need to act as though it is the truth. That's all faith is. Just pretend (shall i say) the Bible is telling you the truth. Act like a child and play like scriptures mean what they say. This will produce results that you'll be so excited over you can't help but tell people around you what happened. This is how the Gospel is spread! Let's get to work! Find out Jesus is Lord for your sake and He didn't leave you helpless where the Devil is concerned. How ridiculous for Ephesians 6:10 to begin to explain all of the wonderful powerful armor we possess to win against the Devil only to be at his mercy. No so my friend! We are victors!!!!!
