Why are we so hardheaded?

Scripture: But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go. Exodus 10:20 NIV

Observation: How many times did the Lord have to demonstrate his authority to Pharaoh? Horrible things were happening to the Egyptians, yet Pharaoh refused to acknowledge God’s soverignity over all creation.

Application: How many times do I just forge ahead without the Lord’s blessing or how often do I face a challenge and think I can handle it without going to the Lord first? On a whole worldview, how many world tragedies have to happen (in specific locations around the world) before we acknowledge the Lord’s purging of evil from his creation? Notice how we think we can pickup the pieces with our good will organizations yet those, often times, are usually as corrupt as can be as well and evil endures.

Prayer: Lord certainly your return to earth is coming soon. You are sending strong messages that sin will not be tolerated. Lord help me to speak your truth without fear and help me to acknowledge your power over my life seeking your will first in all things. Amen

Purpose

Our blog is written from our life experiences in hope of helping others know and believe there is love, forgiveness, and deliverance found in Jesus Christ. No matter where you have been or where you are headed Jesus provides hope and freedom from the challenges we face living in this world. Through the power of the Holy Ghost we are anointed and gifted to carry out the work of our Lord Jesus Christ has set before us. Jesus has put a song in our heart and a story to tell about His great love and how He wants to free you from spiritual, emotional, and financial bondage put upon you by the world. It is our prayer that our blog will help those searching for answers find them in Jesus.

Life Scripture #2

And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power. 1 CORINTHIANS 2:1-5 NIV

Life Scripture #3

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long...we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ROMANS 8:35-39 NIV
