HELLISH THIRST




There are so many people that are trapped with the Hellish Thirst of some type of addiction. Sex, drugs, alcohol, tempers, physical and mental abuse, gambling and the list goes on and on. I feel as if there is a time in a persons life when they get weak and there walk with the Lord has became distant, even though he is right beside them. There is a break in the shell and when that happens the devil slips in and straps on the hindering crutches of addiction. How long that Hellish Thirst last depends on how long you distance yourself from God. Some people go through things for years before they cry out to Jesus for help. They must come to Christ who will provide new appetites. The closer we get to God , the further away we realize that we have been. We must break the unbroken pattern of bondage in families. If you shine a light in the middle of the day no one will notice, but when you shine a light into total darkness, people will notice and become aware. The headlights on a car are pretty much for the driver, but the streetlights are for everyone to see. The Hellish Thirst of Addictions cannot be hidden forever, they will surface sooner or later. The power of Love, a smile and a hug can be contagious and along with prayer have been know to break through the bondage of hell.



Worship is a human response to a divine intervention !!!!!!!!

Gossip





The word hisses with the sound of a snake, coiled and ready to strike. Spreading poisoness venom as soon as it leaves the lips. I am anxious to spread painful, false words just because that is who I am. My name is Gossip and I am nobody’s friend. Making up or spreading false reports are strictly forbidden by God. Gossip, slander and false witnessing will undermine families, strain neighborhood relationships and make chaos of trustworthy systems.
Destructive gossip causes problems on all levels of daily life. Even if you do not initiate a lie, you become responsible if you pass it along..Rumors and hearsay are tantalizing, exciting to hear, and make us feel as insiders. But they tear people down. Don’t circulate rumors, squelch them !!
At times, we may be surrounded by people who gossip about us or criticize us. Verbal cruelty can damage us as badly as physical abuse. Rather than answering with hateful words, we can talk with God about the problem.


When faith is greater than fear, faith wins !!!!!!!

THE ANCHOR THAT HOLDS





So often you see the massive ships that are anchored at port and the only thing holding them in place is there anchors. You wonder how the anchors have enough strength to hold the huge ship in place, but they do. Even during a massive storm as the ship gets battered and tossed, the anchors hold. What strength, what dedication !!! We can compare our strength with that of the mighty anchor in our walk with the Lord. Is your strength in the Lord enough to with stand the storms of life? We have all experienced some sort storm in our life, if you haven’t you will. It is a natural part of life. No one goes through life without trials and test, some more than others.
Even the strongest people get tired at times, but God’s power and strength never diminish. He is never to tired or to busy to help and listen. His strength is our source of strength. When you feel all of life crushing you and cannot go another step, remember that you can call upon God to renew your strength. When God sets the anchor in our life, we will not drift off course. When caught in the storms of life, it is easy to think that God has lost control and that we’re at the mercy of the winds of fate. In reality, God is sovereign. He controls the history of the world as well as our personal destinies. Just as Jesus calmed the waves, he can calm whatever storms you face.


If you are going to believe in God in a deeper level, you are going to have to go thru a deeper situation !!!!!!!!!
