God’s family enjoys His wonderful blessings
by Alive to God It is a privilege to be part of the family of God. It is a privilege to be able to share in the blessings that God has planned for His family. As an earthly father loves to bless his family, so our heavenly Father loves to bless His children. God’s plan…
Don’t give up
2 Corinthians 4:8 We are pressed on every side by troubles, but not crushed and broken. We are perplexed because we don’t know why things happen as they do, but we don’t give up and quit. (Living Bible) In this scripture the Apostle Paul gives us a little advice on what to do when things…
When God doesn’t make sense
THE BETRAYAL BARRIER – this is a very interesting concept. Dr. James Dobson coined this phrase. He said that there comes a time in everyone’s life when they face a situation that does not make sense. In this time they begin to feel that even God has deserted them. A wall that we face when we…
When things don’t make sense
We all face those things that leave us with questions. In the course of life we have to go through different and challenging situations and we wonder why. Often times, things do not seem to make sense. This leads us to ask the question ‘why?’ Why did this happen or why did we have to…

How to pray
People often write to me and ask me to send them some prayers that they can pray or if I will write them some prayers that they can pray in the morning or for some special event. They perhaps think there is some formula or words that are effective in communicating with God. I believe…
We need His presence in our lives
Quote: My later Father, Pastor Ed Roebert, said the following: ‘We can do without many things, but none of us can do without Christ!’ We recently published this quote on social media and it produced a venomous and caustic response. People do not want to hear this, but the Children of God know it to…
We can do nothing of lasting value without His presence in our lives
Nobody wants to waste their lives. We all want our lives to have an effect and to produce lasting, good fruit. We all want to leave a legacy that our children and our families can be proud of. We all want to be remembered for all the right reasons. It is for this reason that the…
God can fill your empty nets
God can take the very same nets that came up empty under our own initiative and fill them when we are operating under His instruction and in His presence. God can take what is empty and fill it up to overflowing. This may appear to be just a side story when seen in conjunction with…
