The Fight for Forgiveness. Currency in His Hands →. December 15, 2008 · 3:36 pm. The Privilege of Ministry. On Sunday we fed well over a hundred homeless men and women before and after second service. The love of Christ flowed like a river! After third service we love on about 80 single Moms and their kids and this year we provided Christmas gifts and stockings. Then to top it all off some of our people made a giant Christmas dinner for all the Pastors and their families. See you here next time! Fill in ...

The Three Wise Guys Pt.1. LA Dream Center →. December 25, 2008 · 9:10 pm. God Pays Child Support! Three Wise Guys pt 2). I love the Christmas story! There are so many lessons we can learn from the story of Christ! One of the greatest is the provision of the heavenly Father. Joseph may have raised Jesus, but God almighty was his Father. I guess you could say that God payed child support! Isn’t it great to know that God our heavenly Father is not a dead beat dad? Have A great Christmas Child of God. I knew...

Humility | Up Close
https://jimraley.wordpress.com/humility
My favorite people (especially in ministry) are those who have no conception of who they are. I love people who have achieved success and notoriety but none of it has gone to their head. I know he is Tommy Barnett, most everyone in ministry knows he’s Tommy Barnett, but Pastor Barnett has no conception of who he is, only of Jesus. I am jarred by his humility every time I’m with him. I am more desperate for HIM than I have ever been. We need his touch today like never before.,. See you here next time!

I am so very grateful! I love Jesus so much today. I love and I trust him. I place myself in his hands trusting him to spend me wisely, to spend me on what matters most. This Christmas season I encourage you to place yourself in His hands and let him spend you. Whenever we are spent by Jesus, we are never wasted!

When you stack the story of Jesus up next to the stories of Santa, Frosty and Rudolph, the real Christmas story wins hands down! Action, romance and adventure all rolled into one! Oh how I long for that kind of worship to live in my life! Why is it that we so often struggle in worshipping Jesus, espeicially after all he has done for us? I would love t...

Newer posts →. December 10, 2008 · 1:53 pm. Mark 11:24….When you pray…. I can honestly say that the single greatest source for victory in my life, church and ministry has been prayer. Jesus declared here in Mark 11,”.when you pray.” These very words appear five times in the gospels and this tells me Jesus expected his followers to pray! He didn’t say IF you pray, but rather WHEN you pray. You don’t have much of a vision! Find that place of prayer and power and believe God for BIG THINGS! 1st Cor. 11:1.

You can never get ahead as long as your trying to get even! It’s time to win the fight. Forgive your enemies, IT...10 resp...
