David Wilkerson – Trusting God with All Your Tomorrows

On May 7, 2019

In Featured, Headline, Preaching/Sermons

Today, I stumbled to this preaching of the late David Wilkerson. He was the Founding Pastor of Times Square Church in New York City. He was called to New York in 1958 to minister to gang members and drug addicts, as told in the best-selling book, The Cross and the Switchblade. I must confess that after I read his book, I am deeply impacted of his heart for Christ. What a faithful servant of God he was. Again, with this preaching, “Trusting God with All Your Tomorrows,” I found encouragement and inspiration as I face this New Year. It’s true, we have tendencies to worry about tomorrow. It is very easy to worry and be anxious of what will happen to us. The devil keeps pointing to us of our failure and putting us down in depression. David Wilkerson in this preaching shared the life of Abraham and the Apostle Paul about handling our future. I encourage you to watch the full video below and make sure you SHARE to people you care who might be needing to hear this message. – Thor

David Wilkerson Trusting God with All Your Tomorrows

Do Not Worry

“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matthew 6: 25-35 NKJV)

Amazing Boy Jotta A Sings Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) – Joven’s Talentos Kids

In Featured, Headline, Inspirational

Jotta A, the Brazilian Child Singer with the breathtaking performance (see video here) of Michael W. Smith‘s song Agnus Dei, is back with another amazing performance at the Joven’s Talentos Kids, a talent show with similar format as the famous shows like Britain’s Got Talent. This time, he is singing the song of Chris Tomlin‘s version of Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone).
Jotta is simply talented and most of all anointed. He has turned christian songs into a new breed and heights that are now becoming more and more popular even to the unbelievers. He is really a new singing sensation! Thanks to Youtube, Facebook and Twitter. Jotta’s choices of songs are really unpopular to the secular world of reality TV but surely, he can showcase his singing talent with divine blessings from his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

“Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)” Lyrics

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

“O Lord you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are the work of your hands.” (Isaiah 64:8)

The love of God is unfathomable. It is beyond measure. It is endless. I found this video very inspirational. I have viewed it many times and I won’t be disappointed to view it again and again. I’m posting it for you to experience the love of God. I pray that as you watch this video, you will encounter God in a very special way.

God is no respecter of people. He loves us unconditionally no matter who we are: a husband, a wife, a farmer, a teacher, a lawyer, a doctor, an atheist, a politician, or an ordinary people. I believe that every person is special in the eyes of God for after all, He created man in His image. His masterpiece.

Casting Crowns Thrive – Live Performance

“Its time for us to more than just survive. We were made to thrive!” – Casting Crowns Thrive

]Thrive is written by Mark Hall, Matthew West

‘We’ve kind of had this Celtic feel with a couple of songs in the past like ‘Praise You with the Dance’ and ‘Spirit Wind’ so it’s always been a little part of us and we just thought with this big, fun worship song, that we’d just make it a big camp song. It’s kind of natural, but the idea of ‘Thrive’ came out of our student ministry. For years I’ve been using the idea of Psalm One in showing them what a believer looks like… If you’re not getting into the word for God to define Himself to you, you will define God with what makes sense to you and what makes sense to us is, ‘I better do good or I’m in big trouble’ and ‘He’s going to stick with me for so long, but I’m going to blow it.’ That’s not the picture that the Bible has. God didn’t put you here just so you could survive through hard times. He put you here to thrive, to dig in and to reach out and this record is an effort to draw a picture of what a believer, a follower of Jesus, would look like if they dug into their roots and understood God and themselves more.” ~ Mark Hall

Thrive Lyrics

Here in this worn and weary land
Where many a dream has died
Like a tree planted by the water
We never will run dry

So living water flowing through
God, we thirst for more of You
Fill our hearts and flood our souls with one desire

Just to know You and to make You known
We lift Your name on high
Shine like the sun, make darkness run and hide
We know we were made for so much more than ordinary lives
Its time for us to more than just survive
We were made to thrive

Into Your word, were digging deep
To know our Fathers heart
Into the world, were reaching out
To show them who You are

Joy unspeakable, faith unsinkable
Love unstoppable, anything is possible

When Your Pastor is a Homeless Man Sitting at the Doorsteps of your Church on a Sunday Service

By Thor

On December 2, 2018

In Featured, Headline, Inspirational

You were about to enter your Church on a typical Sunday morning. You noticed a homeless man sitting on your church’s doorsteps. What would you do? Would you simply walk straight inside your Church and pretend that you didn’t see the homeless man? Would you walk to this homeless man and make a conversation with him? Would you offer him a food or drink? Would you go and speak to him and if you could pray for him? Would you invite him to go inside your Church?

This what Pastor James exactly did to test his flocks on how they would react to the situation. He dressed up as a homeless man to the surprise of the congregation when he entered to do his Sunday preaching. Watch this interesting video and find out how his flocks respond when they saw him as a homeless man in front of their church.

The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations

Matthew 25: 31-44 New King James Version
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the [c]holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
