No Middle Ground
| 4 days, 14 hours
“To the angel of the church in Laodicea, write: This is the message from Amen, the faithful and true witness, who is the origin of all that God has created... because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit you out of my mouth!” Revelation 3:14-16 (GNT)
Friend, with God there is no neutrality. In the things of God there is no middle ground. You are either hot or cold, in or out, born again or not. Neutrality in the things of God is not accepted in the kingdom.
Jesus Christ made it clear when …

God’s grace is His UNDESERVED, UNEARNED and UNMERITED FAVOUR. And because it is undeserved, unearned and unmerited, all of us qualify for it.
But how do we walk in it? Just as a password gives you access to a computer program, FAITH enables you to walk …

Tiger Woods might be the most famous golfer today. He stands out because he was a gifted winner of competitions for many years. But Tiger Woods’s life fell apart because of various indiscretions. His success in public did not match his failures at home.

It is a reality that we have an enemy that is prowling around like a lion who would like to harm us. We do not have to be fearful or paranoid about this, but it is helpful to be aware of his opposition.
In this scripture that we just read from the book of Isaiah, God makes the promise that no weapon that is formed against us by any enemy will prosper. He goes on …

| 2 months
"He that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things.” Romans 8:32
Beloved, what do you think that God cannot give to you? Is anything bigger than the Best? Is anything bigger than the Biggest and the Highest gift in the whole world that God has already given to you? Is anything bigger than JESUS CHRIST the Only begotten Son of God whom He has given to us as our sacrifice? So there is nothing you will ever ask God that He cannot freely …
