Video of the week: 10,000 Reasons

Let me be singing when the evening comes..Bless the Lord oh my Soul..worship His Holy Name! "1 Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. 2 Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s." Psalms 103:1-5 Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Your First Night in Hell

Hell is a reality just the same way Heaven is a reality! Pay attention to this sermon! Three things that happen to everyone: 1) You will die (Physical death)  "Just as people are destined to die once,  and after that to face judgment," Hebrews 9:27 2)You will face Judgment 3)Those in Christ Jesus will go home  "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." 2 Corinthians 5:8 If not in Christ “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life. ” Matthew 25:46 What your  first night in Hell  will look like 1) You will feel Homesick "for I have five brothers. Let him warn them,  so that they will not also come to this place of torment."Luke 16:28 2) You will feel Tired "So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham,  have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire."

Challenge of the week

Hello everyone how is your Tuesday morning going so far? Praise God mine is going great! I feel now more than ever that spring is fast approaching :D Have you ever been that person who is quick to judge?

Yes its easier said than done but you can work on it one by one and before you know it, the Lord will have set you free from that mind set.Let us take time to understand people, to know where they are coming from before we rush to judge them. I challenge you to watch yourself closely, to stop your self from judging and do a little bit more loving! "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. For

Prayer of the week

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: The Power of Doing More than Expected

Even Jesus went a little farther...He did more than expected! Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 1) Jacob was working for his unfair father-in-law...and still did more than expected   Genesis 29 Jacob was tricked by his father-in-law Laban. But he never sinned against Laban and he always did more than what was expected from him! 2) Who did Jacob learn it from..doing more than expected? From his mother Rebekah "17  The servant hurried to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water from your jar.” 18  “Drink, my lord,” she said, and quickly lowered the jar to her hands and gave him a drink. 19  After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20  So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well to draw more wat

Challenge of the Week

Good morning everyone..or shall I say good afternoon :) How is it going? Praise God all is going great here :) Hope its great on your end too! Have you ever felt spiritually drained? Have you ever felt like you didn't feel the presence of God anymore? Have you ever felt like you have sinned so much that God has abandoned you? Challenge of the week: This week I challenge you to recognize that God knows exactly who we are..who we were and who we will be...and yet He chose to love us..He simply just chose us! He loved us even when we were in sin. Recognize that God will not leave nor forsake you! I challenge you to continue to praise Him! Because with the feeling of spiritual dryness there comes a feeling of not being able to Praise Him, or pray to Him or come in to His presence. I challenge you to continue to worship Him! Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or terrified  because of them, for the  Lord  your God goes with you;  he will never leave you  nor forsake  you

Prayer of the Week

Good morning everyone :) How is it going? Praise God all is great on my end ..hope its the same for you guys :) Have you ever felt that small nudge saying you should or shouldn't do something? Have you every had a tiny still voice telling you to do or to not do something? Prayer of the Week: Pray that as the Lord speaks to us that we learn to listen. Pray that this week we will stop ignoring the tiny whisper, or the nudge that is from the Lord. As you wait to hear from God pray for Discernment because its not only God who speaks. "12  After the earthquake came a fire,  but the  Lord  was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.  " 1 Kings 19:12 Stay Blessed<3

What if...???

Where I go to school it is a very common practice to have students live in rented houses. God has been so great to me, He gave me amazing sisters (housemates). My housemates and I have been through thin and thick together. We have moved in to 3 different houses the last 3 years.  Right when we thought we have seen it all, a pipe broke down in the sewer system in our house!!! You can imagine how our house was fully occupied with a washroom smell (I hope u weren’t planning to eat after reading this...if so I do apologize but I just had to share it). However, that was the least of our concerns. We were told to not use water in the house, not even a drop. Whatttttt???? How can we live without water again??? Wow, we never thought we needed to be thankful for the water that runs when we opened the tap. We had taken water in our house for granted. How many other things  in life  to do we take for granted? What if we woke up and we only found things we thanked God for yesterday? Scar

Video of the week: The Invasion ( Hero)

Coz You are my hero..You already Saved the Day! You took the cross for me....an I know You are coming back for me :) The second coming.. 25  “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.   26  People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken.   27  At that time they will see the Son of Man  coming in a cloud  with power and great glory. 28  When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” 29  He told them this parable:  “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.   30  When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.   31  Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God  is near. 32  “Truly I tell you, this generation  will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Buzz Cut

We need a spiritual Buzz Cut! "But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been shaved." Judges 16:22  (Samson being the enemy from the  Philistines  perspective)     1) If we cut sin from our lives it will not be as strong   So he told her everything.  “No razor has ever been used on my head,” he said, “because I have been a Nazirite  dedicated to God from my mother’s womb. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me, and I would become as weak as any other man.” Judges 16:17 2) When our enemy becomes entertainment, we forget how dangerous we even let our kids close to it "While they were in high spirits,  they shouted, “Bring out Samson to entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison, and he performed for them." Judges 16:25 3) You might have victory over sin but the enemy will come back to test you at a convenient situation (even Jesus avoided temptation "When the devil had finished all this tempting

Challenge of the week

Good morning how is everyone doing? Praise God am doing great :) What do you think of giving? do you feel you give enough? do you not give at all? what is your stand? Challenge of the Week: Can I challenge you this week to give a little more, or to even start giving? So many times we catch our selves spending money on things we don't need, but nothing wrong with that. However, do you stop to think perhaps I should have used this for something better? Perhaps helped a person who is in a financial distress, or someone who is starving? This is not to guilt you into helping others, no this is to show you how you can actually make a huge difference by doing little things. Consider the definition of true religion " Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after  orphans and widows  in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27 Stay Blessed<3

Prayer of the Week

Morning everyone :) its a rainy and cloudy day but the same God who created the sunny day yesterday created this one too :) So glory and Honor to Him! Have you every fasted before? Do you know what fasting is about?? When you fast do you feel it is actually making a difference? Prayer of the week: If you are starting a fast/lent this week, Pray that this year will be different. Pray that you actually get to pray more this fasting season. Pray that this fast will humble you. If you are not fasting, pray for the lord opens up your hearts and eyes to the amazing power found in prayer and fasting. “Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?" Isaiah 58:6 Stay Blessed<3

Tamed by the spirit

If I have never mentioned this before let me say it now, I am the worst possible person you can ask for directions in case you get lost. My friends have made fun of me till I can take it no more, they simply laugh at me. I must say though my direction skills, of course with the lord’s help, have improved tremendously. I still have a habit of taking the longer but familiar route than the new short cut someone showed me or told me of.   Have you been in situation where some route became so natural to you that you can walk without even paying attention to where you are going? It was almost like your legs were leading you to the place you needed to go. Wow so cool eh?!  Can you imagine being so used to walking in the spirit that He, the Holy Spirit, will just take you where you needed to go without thinking about it? Can you imagine if listening to God’s voice and being led by the sprit became so natural that it didn’t require a thought process?   One thing I am sure about is t

Video of the Week: Cash or Christ

Forget about the cash, forget about the clothes  forget about the stash, forget about the dough We should be seeking Jesus instead of Dough!! "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." Matthew 6:24 Stay Blessed<3

Challenge of the Week

Hey everyone :) how is everyone doing this very day?  Praise God am doing great :) Are you quick to judge? Do we think to love first before judging? Do we at least give people a chance to explain their situation before we conclude? Is this person you? Do you want yo change? Challenge of the week: This week I challenge you to love first, when you love then you won't remember to judge! This week I challenge you to bring this judgmental behavior before God and seriously ask for healing from it, I did and God has set me free from that mind set! Learn to be better listeners than talkers! Pray for humility, because by being humble we are recognizing we were mere sinners before He saved us, we are no different from the people we are pointing our fingers at. " How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will se

Prayer of the Week

Hey everyone :) How is everyone doing this very bright Monday (by bright I mean not as dark as yesterday..its not actually bright :) ) Mine is going great Praise God! :) What do you say when you meet the person at the right time?  what do you think when someone gives you a had when u needed it, that exact moment? Do you think its mere coincidence or do you call it a Divine Appointment? Prayer of the week: This week be intentional in being used by God. Pray that God will literally guide your steps so that you will be the person making your friend think of your random meeting to be a "diving appointment". This is not fiction, I actually had one this past weekend. Recognize that as you pray for God to guide you in every step, the diving appointment could also be for your benefit.  This past Saturday God provided for me in 4 times using 4 different people! I Urge you to pray for guidance from your heavenly father :) "Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no
