Choosing Our Thoughts

By Daughter Of Sarah -
"Why are you troubled? And why do thoughts arise in your hearts?" -
Luke 24:38 (Jesus to His apostles)

Why were the disciples afraid? Where did the terror come from? It came
from thoughts they let into their heart.

These lying thoughts arose and created the tormenting fear.

We need to pull down our strongholds and cast down our thoughts which
produce wicked imaginations- see 2 Corinthians 10:4,5. We HAVE the
mind of CHRIST.

The secret of guarding our mind? David shares it in Psalms 101:3 and
19:14 - the thought life or meditation of our hearts should be
pleasing to God.

To enjoy the victory God's won for our life, we need to win that
battlefield of the mind. Thoughts can hold one like a vise and keep
one from the truth as long as you permit and accept them. Learn how to
reject in Christ thoughts that are not the will of God for you.

What's God's will for you? It's best summed up in Jeremiah 29:11. ;)

I also feel this is a good point- "The Bible is full of God's
thoughts. Replace every thought the devil tries to force on you with
one of God's thoughts." - John Osteen.

Sermon 31/08/2008 - Pastor Lian (NCC)

By -
Pastor Lian has been in NCC for 20 years!! Joke- There was this really old obese lady who was so fat she had serious heart problem. One day she had heart attack and brought her to hospital and she died on op table. She came face to face with God and said sheepishly I guess my time is up… and God said no you are still young you are only 50 plus and you are a NCCer - u can live till 120 years. She woke up and told the doctor and told the doc she just want to have something else done. So she had an extreme makeover. It took a few mths and as she stepped out of the hospital, a car knocked her down and she died - God was as surprised to see her as she was to be back there. Just then, the angels sheepishly admitted - they could not recognise her. Lol. ---------------------------------------------------------- From young, Pastor Prince has always said - "God said", "God can" - he has always possessed a good opinion of God. 14 years from moving to The Rock location - 2 x 7 ...

What the Anointing Oil is & Prayer for the Anointing Oil

By -
Pastor Prince from New Creation Church has recently called upon the church members to use the Anointing Oil to bless every area of our lives. He had gone to Tiberius Church in Indonesia and seen how the anointing oil has made a difference to the Christians there. The senior pastor of Tiberius Church, Pastor Yesaya Pariadji, had been led by the Father to get his church to use the anointing oil radically. He had a vision of a biblical quotation when he was still not yet a Christian - he had no idea what it was. When he became a pastor, he finally understood what it meant. He felt very led to get his church to use anointing oil so they went ahead and used it; their testimonials are plentiful and amazing. Pastor Prince being a huge believer in Sola Scriptura, decided to discern further, pray about this and read up on the scriptural references on Anointing Oil before telling us to use it. He believes in doing things biblically - meaning we can be radical in our faith (for example our churc...

You have Comeback Power - Joel Osteen (Transcript) Pt 1

By Daughter Of Sarah -
I like to start with something funny - I heard about this pastor, he decided to skip church one Sunday and go play golf. He told his assistant he wasn't feeling well and he drove to another city's gold course there so no one would recognise him. He teed off at the first hole. All of a sudden a huge gust of wind caught his ball, carried it an extra hundred yard and blew it right into the hole for a 421 yard hole-in-one. The angel looked at God and asked, "What didcha do that for?" God smiled and said, "Who's he gonna tell?" Alright. Hold up your bible. Say it like you mean it - “This is my bible I am what it says I am, I have what it says I have, I can do what it says I can do. Today I will be taught the Word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be the same. In Jesus’s name.” God bless you. I want to talk to you today about how you have Comeback power. We all face situations that seem like they could bury us - the...
