When I read Nehemiah's Prayer in the Old Testament where he lamented for the people of Israel, I was moved by his passion and was inspired to put his prayer into song. I pray not only for the middle east but for the many people around the world that need a touch from Our Lord. If you would like a copy of the music or video presentation I will make them available to you. I can be notified through this site.

This finishes the three part series on the Trinity by asking and answering some very important questions on why and how the Holy Spirit is being used as He is in the plan of salvation.

This is part two of the three part series on the Trinity with a special focus on Jesus and all He has done for us.

This is the first of a three part series on the Trinity.

There are many ministries for believers to fill, but some think that their positions of ministry in the church are menial. They feel that God will not use them mightily because they are only called to serve tables. Nothing could be further from the truth. One does not need to be some world famous healing evangelist to be mightily used by God. In this teaching I give an example of a man that was appointed to serve tables in the church, and yet he was so mightily used by God that he is recorded in the pages of the Holy Bible!

There are many men who have come into the Church speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after themselves (Acts 20:30). One of the current things to confuse believers and have the get into doubt is the "Sacred Name Movement." The movement is based on having or trying to have the secret name of God. There are many factions of this movement, and they have many, many different names and pronunciations for the name of God and Jesus. Many believe that if you do not pronounce God's name like they guess it should be said then you are not saved. They just do not like the name Jehovah or Jesus. It should cause you to pause and wonder why they fight only two main names, while they have dozens of different names, spellings, and pronunciations. My brethren, do not be led astray into man's traditions and theories that would have you deny the name of Jesus and follow their teachers and leaders.

Many have a perverted teaching of Romans 3:23 that says that we are all sinners. This is not what the verse teaches and is a subtle change by Satan's ministers in order to keep you in sin and out of Christ.

Getting To Know Jesus - 036 When you recognize that you are poor, then you can work to do something about it. That will turn out to be a blessing in the long run. Please share with your friends.

James Yoshiki Mercer, youth leader at Yokosuka Grace Bible Church wrote and recorded this original song shortly after the Great Earthquake of Eastern Japan. The pictures and video were taken during our Every Nation Churches relief efforts to Sendai and Ishinomaki.

There are some false teachers teaching under the guise of holiness that if a saved person commits even one sin after salvation that there is no possible way to repent and be restored to the body of Christ. They use Hebrews 10:26, out of context, as proof for their error. This is a subtle deception from Satan and his ministers to keep people from repenting. God is ever merciful, and He will not turn away a person that is truly repentant and wants to walk in righteousness (Ezekiel 18).

The Bible Questions And Answers Series will be where I answer your questions about the word of God. I try to answer all questions posed to me view email, text, twitter, Facebook, etc. and will answer some view video to bless others who may have the same questions. The question today is: Why were signs not done in other cities if they would have repented? The question is based on Matthew 11:20-25.

Many today believe that they merely need to confess their sins to have repented. What does the Bible teach about repentance and what are some evidences of true repentance?

Many are following ministers of Satan and do not even know it. They think that because their minister preaches from the Bible and talks about being nice, that they must know God. The truth is that Satan's ministers come in and pretend to be ministers of righteousness (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). They do all the things needed to deceive those whose hearts are not completely dedicated to Christ Jesus. If you allow even the least of sins you may be vulnerable to these deceivers coming in and misleading you from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Most people say that the Church is the bride of Christ, but does the Scripture actually teach this? There is a verse of Scripture that actually says who the bride of Christ is, and many ignore this plain Scripture in order to keep the traditions that they have been taught. Find out what the Church is and if it is the bride of Christ in this Scripture-packed teaching!

"And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" (1 Peter 4:18)

This is an important question that Paul asked a group of believers in Ephesus, that I ask you, "Have You Received The Holy Ghost Since You Believed?" This is not asking if you have the Holy Spirit in your life, because all born-again believers do. This question is asking if you have acknowledged Him and received His fullness in your life. If you have not, then you need to humble yourself before Him and seek the baptism in the Spirit. When you are empowered by God you can be a great witness for Him ministering in the gifts of the Spirit as He leads. We have a living God that is still doing all the miracles, signs, and wonders we see in the book of Acts, including the wonder and miracle of turning a sinner into a saint! Praise God forevermore!

Many have chosen to follow a knowledge alone and claim it to be a relationship with God. They do not actually know Him, but they just know about Him. They do not know the Bible, but they know about the Bible. They reject the Holy Spirit and His gifts and replace them with mere mental assent. The danger of merely having knowledge is that it puffs one up and does not produce the fruit of the Spirit that comes from a true relationship with God. We need to have knowledge and reason, but mere mental assent is not enough. A true relationship with God produces more than just head knowledge about Him and His word, it produces a new person full of the Spirit and power of God, which are things that cannot be learned.

There are many good Open Air Preachers that post their videos of their experiences preaching in the open air. Most of these preachers claim to be holiness preachers, but some upload videos filled with profanity, blasphemy, and filth with no concern at all. My brothers and sisters, this should not be the case. We should not seek to be glorifying sinners and their filthy language. Would you watch a movie with profanity and blasphemy in it? Most of you would not, but then you will turn around and post worse filth on your own sites for the world to see? This double mindedness must be done away with in Christ!
