Thanks for Shaking Me Jeremiah Gonda, FerventFireInternship.org   “And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, "YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN."  This expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;for our God is a consuming fire.” – Hebrews 12:26 – 29 It’s easy to look around and see a lot of shaking happening on many different levels.  The most obvious level is that which is happening to us personally.  When I look at this in my own life I am challenged with the truth that God is behind the shaking.  This passage illuminates my understanding concerning this issue and I can be encouraged to know that if there is shaking, His voice is active and present in my life!  It’s the voice of the Lord that brings the shaking and His voice will birth something in my life that cannot be shaken (Psalm 29:9).  In an earlier post back in April titled “The Voice of the Lord”, Pastor Tim mentioned how he heard the Lord say . . .   To read more click here...     Liar, Liar Tony Hauck, Church on the Rock Satan is a liar.  (I know, duh.)  But have you ever considered what he most likes to lie about?  The devil really doesn’t care that much about us, or attacking us.  We’re just tools.  The real attack is against the knowledge of God.  God has promised the knowledge of the glory of the Lord will fill the earth.  (Hab 2:14)  Satan tries to suppress that.  So you can go to church all you want and pretty much get left alone.  It’s when you become the fragrance of the knowledge of God that the devil has to try to put a stop to it. “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. “ (2 Cor 2:14) So what does he lie about?  Primarily, he lies to us about...

Our thoughts at times can be filled with unbelief and doubt, and our emotions can be driven by fear, anxiety, and hopelessness. God created us to be creatures that think and experience emotions. Our thoughts and our emotions are an important part of who we are. They help to define our personality and how we view and respond to life. However, as Paul says in 2 Corinthians 10:5, there is a place to “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (NIV). There are times in our lives when we must struggle to bring our thoughts and emotions into alignment with God’s Word. It is in this struggle that we will grow in our faith.   I was recently reading in the book of Job. I cannot imagine the pain and suffering that Job experienced. At one point, after losing ...   To read more click here...     Help! I Don’t Know What to Do! Tim Franklin, Freedom Christian Center Jesus declared in Mt 21:13, “My house, will be called a house of prayer.” We often focus on the prayer part of that passage, and we should. But think with me for a moment: Jesus is the one speaking, and His statement is “My House!” Wow! Jesus has a house! He has a dwelling place that has an identity and it can be found! It is called the House of Prayer. David initiated the House of Prayer under the leadership of the Holy Spirit. God wanted a house and He found a man to build it—David.    Prayer is not an option! Worship is not an option! These represent the place of encounter with the Living God! It was David who said, “I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the LORD.”    What I often find in the House of Prayer are people who do not know what to do. Let me try to answer this: “What am I to do in the House of Prayer?”...   To read more click here...     How Do You Respond to A Prophetic Word? Pastor Larry Booth - Our Father's House July 30, 2010   Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Let your hands be strong, you who have been hearing in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets.’ (Zechariah 8:9a)   This is a beautiful passage of the Bible regarding the importance of the prophetic word in the life of believers. The response to the word given here is awesome.
