THE BENEFITS OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES
Over The course of the years speaking in tongues has become some what of a mystery to most Christians if not considered ridiculous. Some denominations believe it is not available to the Christian today, some believe there is no benefit to speaking in tongues while other denominations not only believe in speaking in tongues but go way beyond what would be considered sane behavior to the point that people are doing all manner of craziness while purportedly speaking in tongues. So, you see there is immeasurable confusion regarding the subject of speaking in tongues. With so much confusion perhaps it would be best to go back to the source on speaking in tongues and see what it really says. That source would be the Bible.
ABOUND IN THE WORK OF THE LORD
There is much talk about going to Heaven and that you have to work to get there. I want to tell you that that is a lie! Religion and men greedy for power have promulgated this for centuries to be able to keep control on the Christians and then men unwilling to study to show themselves approved unto God (II Timothy 2:15) have continued this heresy. Dante’s Inferno is a lie. Purgatory is a lie. Working for salvation is a lie. The truth is much more exciting and liberating (John 8:32).
UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAUSE AND SYMPTOMS
Do you feel the same way I do? I, as a citizen of the United States, stand dumb founded at the shear insanity, greed and corruption that is going on at the highest levels of our government and financial markets. People, angry at the system, are starting to lash out in frustration. Iceland and Greece with their riots Much of this economic misery that we are and will continue to experience is unnecessary.
THE HIGHER POWERS OF ROMANS 13
The misinformation that has been promulgated by the, so called, leadership in the Christian Churches regarding Romans chapter 13 has cause no end to confusion. What they have said and even written into their own versions of the Bible is that the “higher powers” spoken of in Romans 13:1 are the government leaders. This is a lie from the pit of hell! This teaching has no contextual support nor does it have any support from any of God’s Word via scripture build up or previous usage. The “higher powers” are those men and women who are ordained of God and have Gift Ministries

THE FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE OF BEING THANKFUL
We often do things without thinking because it is either habit or something that we were told to do at one time and we never questioned it. Something as simple as thanking God for the food that we eat is one of those things. Another area is thankfulness in your day to day living. To be able to apply this principle of being thankful in everything you do reaps huge results in your life.
WHAT IS YOUR STANDARD FOR TRUTH
It is time to decide what your center of reference for truth will be.
When we are born we have five senses in which we gather information they are hearing, seeing, smelling tasting and touching. These are the only way natural man can learn. It is with these senses that we accumulate enough information to start making decisions about what is right and what is wrong, how we are going to live our lives and what standards we are going to run by. BUT, outside of those senses we have multiple centers of reference to sort through.
HOW TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE A LITTLE AT A TIME
This is just one example. What about what you think of yourself? How many times a day do you hear something good about YOU? Well, how many things do you hear bad about you during a day. Negatives filling your mind so that you begin to doubt your abilities, your goals, who you are and what you stand for? You multiply that by 365 days in the year and you start believing the negatives.You are fighting an up hill battle to stay positive, to believe that you can achieve and to keep a positive self image.
But what if we could reverse it by limiting the number of negative thoughts and increase the number of positive ones?
