Nickolas Hiemstra The Holy Spirit

In both the Old and New Testaments, you will find the Holy Spirit displaying his presence in the most unusual ways! He shook buildings. People began to praise him—in new tongues. At Pentecost he came with a mighty, rushing wind! Fire flamed out from the heads of the believers! When the Holy Spirit comes, things get shaken up (see Acts 2:4 and 4:11).

John the Baptist preached, “I'm baptizing you here in the water. The main character in this drama, to whom I'm a mere stagehand, will…

Solomon Gopaul Times of Prayer

Times of Prayer

We started this prayer point last week attempting to answer the questions what keeps us away from God and what prevents us from progressing in God.

I remember watching an action movie once and the hero was very smartly dressed but is involved in a brawl with the villain. The villain tries to get the better of him and tears holes in his shirt. One tear leads to another with the shirt eventually being torn to shreds that the hero eventually…

Nickolas Hiemstra A Focus On Mercy

There are so many aspects of our Father that we know so little about. I am just learning about His Grace; obtaining a renewed understanding of His Judgment and Justice; just beginning to understand the depths of His Love. But one thing I am still trying to know more about is His Mercy.

You see, in ancient Israel, the Ark of the Covenant represented the mercy of the Lord, which has become a powerful truth embodied in our Lord. As his disciples, we are to receive his mercy, trust in the…

Ricco J Govender Blind Spots in the Church

In the church of Jesus Christ there are a lot of blind spots amongst Gods people, these will become visible because blind spots are your hidden agendas & weakness. When I had physical blind spots on my face which became visible, nothing else could help me except drinking water which had flushed out all the toxins out from my body & then the blind spots had disappeared because that was a cleansing process & the same with the spiritual we all may have blind spots in our live that's… Continue

Frank Mancuso Christian Counseling: The Eleventh Commandment By Frank Mancuso, Ph.D.

How many commandments do we need? Aren't ten enough? Apparently not because Jesus gave us another. Really, it is a commandment of summation about all the laws, which can be seen in the original ten commandments.

Think about the spirit in which the ten commandments were written. Exodus chapter 20 reveals these laws to us: have no other gods before Him, do not make any idol, do not take His name in vain, keep the sabbath holy, honor your mother and father, and do not murder,…

Bonnie Jaeckle ADVICE ON LICE

Head lice are as common as lizards in the Philippines. They are everywhere! It isn’t uncommon to see family members picking through each other’s hair in an effort to eliminate the creepy crawly varmints! And guess who got them while Gary and I were there? Needless to say, they were attracted to the one with waist-long hair! There are advantages to being bald!

 

While Americans often contend that it is other countries with…

Nickolas Hiemstra Love & Hate

All of us have read the comments in Luke where Jesus said, "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple" (Luke 14:26). Recently I heard some critic say, “See, those Christians are hate-mongers. Even their ‘Jesus’ taught it!”

Now I have heard some Christians trying to soften that passage by saying that the word used here that is translated as “hate,”…

Ricco J Govender The Peacemakers being the sons of God

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. In the church of Jesus Christ there needs to be an element of peace because peace promotes unity in the body of Christ & sons of God know that to be a peacemaker, you have to have the prince of peace being Christ operating in your life. As a peacemaker it is better to loose the battle & win the friend because in the armour of God it says that shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace, meaning that your… Continue

Nickolas Hiemstra Direction, Guidance and our Lord's Love

I want to share an event David Wilkerson wrote about several years ago. I want you to read this because I think there is a lesson for each of us. As the story goes, Wilkerson opened a boy’s home on Long Island. He truly felt the Lord had put it on his heart to do this, and truly believed the Lord was behind the work. However, and you knew that was coming, eighteen months later, state officials imposed such stringent regulations on operating the home, that they had to close it…

Ricco J Govender Humility Under the Hand of the Almighty

He who humbles himself, God will praise & he who praises himself God will humble, you rather humble yourself under the hand of the almighty then allowing the hand of the almighty to humble you. Let us not say in our own mouth that we are humble but let man say you are humble & humblness in this day & age will position you for great things because Christ was humble until the point of dead. In the church of Jesus Christ many elements may come to disrupt the humbleness in you &… Continue

Solomon Gopaul Continuation of Personal testimony - Ordering our Footsteps

Ordering our Footsteps

A cry from the heart Part 1

There is always talk that over seventy percent of the citizens in our country are Christians. If this the case then why is there still so much of crime, poverty and substance abuse? There is a great difference between a church attendee, a church member, a Christian and truly born again, Spirit…

Nickolas Hiemstra Reigning in Life

Although I am not in "full-time" ministry I still hear from many who are struggling with habits and well . . . sin. They continue to commit the same sin over and over; grieve over that sin and confess that sin, seek forgiveness--then do it all over again. As many of you know, in one of my Facebook groups, I am going through Paul's letter to the Roman church. I am reminded of what I covered in the 6th chapter:

You must not give sin a vote in the way you conduct your…

Ricco J Govender Multiplication in the Desert

A little boy sowed his two fish & five loaves of bread to feed the multitudes & because his seed being the two fish & the five loaves was in Jesus hand then it began to multiply & fed the entire multitude. Even though this was a desert area being a area of dryness & unfruitfulness because a seed was sown, that had the ability to break limitations even in the driest situations. When we look at the two fish & five loaves of bread, two is a number of witness & we ought… Continue

Nickolas Hiemstra A Foretaste of Heaven

I have talked about a "Foretaste," or an "Earnest," before, but I was talking about the Holy Spirit at the time As you already know, a foretaste is an advance taste or realization. The Bible calls it an earnest—“the earnest of our inheritance” (Ephesians 1:14). It means to bring a taste of the whole before we have the whole. Our inheritance is Christ himself—and the Holy Spirit brings us into his very presence as a foretaste of being received as…

Ricco J Govender Bring Forth Something Beautiful

We Labour till Christ be formed in us & this is called pressing onto perfection that's the image & likeness of Christ. The word labour as a double meaning, firstly labour means to work & we ought to work on ourselves to be a representative sample of Christ by washing the pollutants that operate in our lives with the word of God. Secondly when a lady is about to give birth she goes through a process called labour which is very painful but she is about to bring forth something… Continue

My Journey with Jesus through 1 Peter

1 Peter 5:  6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,…



Father, keep me from a false humility that seeks to be exalted.  For me to express humility means that I will not give into fear, reticence, timidity, and reluctance, nor will I act in arrogance, pride, superiority, or a condescending manner.  Yet, I will be assertive, bold,…

Larry Pullega Christ alone:our only freedom

... "and you are complete in Him,who is the head of all principality and power."(.col 2:10) Wanting everything is bondage.Needing nothing is freedom.All our needs are met in Christ alone.We have Christ's life now,and we don't have to worry about our life anymore than Christ has to worry about His life !We're free to treasure all the cares and fears of the world,but it would make no sense since they're no longer ours to be miserable over.To try to add anything to Christ is to add…
