Married to the Truth

The scriptures warn us that there would be a great falling away from the Truth. Romans seven tells us we are married to Him that is risen from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit by the Spirit of the Lord. Jesus is the Word of God being lived out in our lives wile we are living in these mortal bodies.…

The Afflicted Soul

The whole call for us as Christians is to deny self and follow Jesus. When Jesus came down from the mountain of transfiguration He found a little boy that His followers could not cast the devil out of. When they asked Him, why they could not do it, he said this one only comes out by fasting and prayer. He also told…

A Heart to Overcome Evil

The spiritual battle takes a set mindset. It is often hard to take our eyes off the one causing the problem, and see the spiritual forces controlling the people in the world. We are to overcome evil with good and not be overcome of evil. Our walk in the spirit is not a return policy returning evil for evil or good for…

A Voice on High

We know our fight is not flesh and blood, but demonic powers. We, as Christians are seated in authority far above these demonic powers, yet our voice is not heard in the places of influence as it should be. The Lord told the prophet to lift his voice up as a trumpet. Is it not odd our Commander Cheif has a name…

To Live is Christ, to Die is Gain

His Goodness Lives On

It has been great as we look back at God’s goodness in our presence. We are so blessed to have known so many good friends and those that love the Lord. One of those we knew as Big John. I met John and his friend Cliff though working with the Salvation Army soup kitchen. These were two great guys in a time…

Leonard Lord: Devoted to serving God and the community

Leonard Lord, longtime pastor of Light of the World Tabernacle in Port Richey, has led an interesting life by anyone’s standards. As a 7-year-old Georgia boy living in poverty, he somehow learned he would be on television one day. It was 1954, when his family had its first television delivered. “Upon seeing the new TV,…

Blessings, Inheritance, New Calendar, Life from the Dead

Just happen to think! Look at all these celebrations we have. All these are directly to do with our Christian heritage in Jesus. Which seems to have been hi-jacked by the world to make us powerless and to only be used to make merchandise of us. Thanksgiving was given to remind us to be thankful for God’s blessing of this new land…

Thankful for Trials

WELL! Thanksgiving is on top of us and it is time to prepare to put things on hold and fellowship around good food and the Lord’s love. It is great as a grandfather and father to have all your family around the table. It reminds me of how pleased our heavenly Father is when we take time to come around the table…
