Fire on the Altar

Many times in our walk with God we find ourselves in times of waiting. It is easy in the wait to begin doubting the love, care, provision and power of God. The enemy whispers,  "God never heard your prayer. God doesn't listen to you. God doesn't care about you."       I want to encourage you today Father is a good listener. Father does hear. He is listening. He loves you and is concerned about you.   Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. I John 5:14‭-‬15 NKJV We can be confident in the care, the love and the ability of God to listen.   God has heard your prayer. He has heard and seen your tears. The delay is not a denial. Hold on in the wait. Don't quit believing. You may feel ignored or overlooked in your situation. Father sees you. Father ...

Waiting is a part of life. We all have a choice to wait wisely or foolishly. The wise understand that waiting isn't a passive but active activity. We don't wait passively but rather we are passionately pursuing the promises of God. If you are waiting on God right now you need to realize you are in good company Joseph, Moses, Abraham, and even Jesus waited. In your wait don't sit on the side line, get in the game, go after God, believe, expect, and prepare for God to show up and bring the answer you need.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. James 1:17  Every good and perfect gift comes from Father.  And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— John 14:16 NKJV Father gives help. Jesus says, He will pray and the Father will send us the Helper (Holy Spirit).  You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. John 15:16 NKJV Whatever we ask in the name of Jesus, Father will give us.  If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Matthew 7:11 NKJV If our earthly father knows how to give how much more will our H...

For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. I Corinthians 12:12 NKJV For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Romans 12:4‭-‬5 NKJV Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone,  in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Ephesians 2:19‭-‬22 NKJV 1. “…Be at peace with each other.” (Mark 9:50) 2. “…Wash one another’s feet.” (John 13:14) 3. “…Love one another…” (John 13:34) 4. “…Love one another…” (John 13:34) 5...

"Rise up, you have been saved by the grace of a mighty Savior!" For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it  is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8‭-‬10 Many times when we think of the grace of God we think of a mere attitude of God. But grace is much more than a attitude. Grace is a action of God on our behalf. Grace is the very foundation of the story of redemption. Grace in action loves the unlovable. Grace in action dies on a cross so others can live. Grace in action leaves a tomb empty while He fills the empty soul. Grace in action lights the darkness. Grace in actions lifts the downcast, weary, and broken. Grace in action holds us up, hold us together, and never leaves us, fails us or forsakes us. Grace in action causes what once was a stumbling block ...

I am thankful for the Name, the Blood, and the Love of Jesus. Come on, somebody ought to shout over the title of today's post. Where would we be if it wasn't for the Name, the Blood, and the Love of Jesus! Think about that for minute. Think of the time He saved, filled and healed you. Think of how faithful He has been to bring you through life's storms. Times where all hell was breaking loose but He kept you, He held you, and He protected, and redeemed you from destruction. This post is to remind you to be thankful and to grow in confidence in all three of these foundational truths. 1. The authority of the Name of Jesus. (John 14:13-14, Mark 16:15-18.) In the Name of Jesus there is Power and Authority to save, forgive sins, heal, make whole, and perform miracles. 2. The Blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin. Grants us access into fellowship, communion, and intimacy with God. (1 John 1:7 ) My goodness the blood is the high price that was paid for you,...
