Marriage & Submission

By Daughter Of Sarah -
"Wives, submit" does not mean "husbands, dominate." God did not create Eve from Adam's feet to be trampled upon, nor from his head to rule over him. He made her from Adam's side, the nearest place to his heart, to be his helpmate and companion.

Healthy marriages model a right understanding of submission. A husband is to nourish and strengthen his wife as a leader among equals, and both are to submit to the LORD. As Christ leads and loves the church, so the husband is to lead and love his wife.

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...

The Babel Connection

By -
The earliest Chinese Writing dated back to 2700 BC . It is estimated that the Tower of Babel incident took place around 2700 BC . A coincidence??? Definitely not!!! In fact, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before there was Taoism or Confucianism in China, the Chinese worshipped the one true God - 上帝 (Shang Di) or LORD on High, the Supreme God. The similarities between Shang Di of the Chinese and Yahweh of the Jews is astounding. They are definitely the one, same God. Let's find out more about who Shang Di of the Chinese people is - According to Wikipedia - Shangdi is first mentioned in Chinese Literature in the Five Classics, (五經, pinyin: Wujing) allegedly compiled by Confucius in the 6th century BC. The Wujing was a collection of five books that represented the pinnacle of Chinese culture at that time. The oldest parts of the Wujing were first written around 1000 BC, apparently relying on older texts. All of the five classics include references to Shangdi. Taoism, probably the most embraced...

Knowing when to "Drop Out" and let God

By Daughter Of Sarah -

I love Lego Batman which i play with Ian and Kae. Sometimes when I can't get my character over an obstacle, i "drop out", let the computer take over to follow Ian or Kae's character, and resume once the coast is clear. Sometimes i stubbornly hang on and we spend lots of wasted time waiting for me to clear the obstacle. I'm not trying to encourage people to not persevere in the face of trials. Rather, I hope to encourage you to learn when and how to let go and let God take control of a situation. Being quite a stubborn girl in my youth I have learned precious lessons about letting go. It's not weak to let go and surrender to God a circumstance. Rather, it takes strength, discernment, humility to take a step back, admit your inadequacy, and allow your Heavenly Potter to mould the clay that you are. Never be too proud because pride comes before fall. But yes, we all need to fall a few times before we learn how to walk, to ride a bike... Our spiritual walk is no d...
