DO YOU WANT THE GLORY?

Written by Phyllis. Posted in Articles

Among those who call themselves Christians, there are disciples and there are the saved and there are the pretenders and the deluded. Jesus made this clear in many of his teachings in His time on earth. Thankfully, anybody in the non disciple ranks can move up by becoming obedient- or as Jesus presented the opportunity, "follow Me ; drop all that encumbers you and follow Me trusting that I will protect you, provide for you and guide you AND take care of all that you abandoned and left undone"

Falling Idols

Written by Phyllis. Posted in Articles

1Samuel 5 tells of the ark of God being held by the Philistines in Ashdod. The ark was placed in the house of Dagon right beside the idol. In the morning , they found Dagon lying on its face while the ark remained in place. They would restore Dagon to its upright position only to find it back on its face the next day. This little myth like story actually puts forth a hard and fast law in the Kingdom of God; in His presence, idols will fall.

Find your place and defend it!Message starred

Having recently participated in a prophetic type conference in our church, I observed people who were to receive or had received a word of knowledge or wisdom and would confess that The Lord had showed them that they would speak before large groups or have some great ministry.

God our rock and our fortress

Written by Phyllis. Posted in Articles

Do you believe this? I mean down deep in your very being? We may say we believe this, but when trials come, it's test time. You will find out how much you believe that God is your rock, fortress and stronghold. God wants us to grow up in Him so it is a progressive revelation and relationship. When I married my husband I loved him (obviously) but through the years I have come to love him so much more than I did years ago. No matter where you are in your walk with the Lord he is with you if you have accepted him as your savior. You can call out for help and he hears you instantly, faster than a text message can transmit. He is our Shield, Fortress, Hiding Place, Keeper, Refuge, Rock, Shade, Shelter, Protection and Stronghold. Wow!

God's Design

Written by Phyllis. Posted in Articles

A year ago my husband and I decided we wanted to redesign the landscaping in our front flowerbed, which is a rectangle about 30 ft wide and 8 ft deep. Our new son in law, who has a degree in horticulture and experience in the planting, irrigation and maintenance of a large estate works with a lady who designs landscaping for the rich and famous. He drew upon their friendship and got her to come to our house and rethink our little lawn and flowerbeds. She sent computer rendered sketches of the layout of all the trees , bushes and flowers that were to be planted. It was pretty exciting to have an overall design for our whole property rather than the "little here, little there " approach we had always employed in our landscaping efforts. The process became a little less exciting when our son in law explained that builders established a building site by laying down a pad of mostly clay, upon which the foundation is poured as well as driveways and sidewalks.
