Networking Five-Fold Ministries - Joshua Apostolic Prophetic Network
We are a Apostolic Prophetic global network community focused on sharing and equipping with Five-fold Ministry insight for believers around the world, and to develop new networking relationships with Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers, both locally and abroad. It was He who gave some to be Apostles, some to be Prophets, some to be Evangelists, and some to be Pastors and Teachers, 12, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up, 13, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Servants of the Lord s Vineyard - Scriptural
A Grave Moral and Community Obligation - As a tenants and custodians of the world we have a responsibility to care for the environment (Gen 2:15) especially when that environment directly affects our health and that of others. A quick glance at our world will show that we have caused it to slide even from its fallen state. Much of the damage done to the Lord"s vineyard has come from ravaging the earth"s resources in pursuit of economic gain. Instead of worshiping and seeking the almighty God, our culture has gone berserk after the almighty dollar. To be clear, there is nothing wrong with earning a living and nothing wrong with having personal property.
The King James Version, Inspired or Not
The controversy as to whether the King James Version of the Bible is the inspired Word of God or not has raged over many generations of Christians. Some believers unwaveringly claim it is the inspired word and others hold just as strongly that it is not. Occasionally, the opposing views can be so vehemently embraced that is causes schisms in the body and ministry suffers. That something like this could bring Christians to loggerhead in light of incontrovertible evidence is difficult to understand. We can understand when unbelievers stir up controversy about scripture, but not when it comes from those who have been enlightened by the Spirit of God.
Tears Will Come Before Your Healing And Five Ways To Use My Story To Heal Your Life
Tears fall before the healing I remember so clearly the train ride. I can remember the open display of tears in public as I boarded the train. I can remember the fog that settled around my shoulders on that trip. My life and child had left, and in one argument all the meaning in my life was snatched away. Yes the tears, I remember every one of them as they trickled down my face. I remember the looks of other passengers. I could see the lovely countryside, the cows, the sheep and the blue sky. But God could have done anything that day and I"m sure he was trying to shake me from the numbness that was taking me in its grasp.
The Secret Life
Have you ever been sitting at a table for Christmas dinner with the family, but part of you is absent? There"s dad carving the roast, and mother happily sharing all the news of the family around the table and getting all the conversation flowing. There"s your brothers and your sisters and all the in- laws and then there"s you. They talk about babies and love and relationships, and you nod your head and agree where you can and laugh at the jokes, and you"re part of the family. To everybody present, you may be a little sullen, but your the brother and they know even though you are quite now, you can talk their ears off if given a chance.
Water And Wine
Is there unrighteousness with God? No. The Bible tells us that God will, bless whom He will Bless, and Curse, whom He shall Curse. All being within His will, and His plan for each and every, man, woman and Child upon this earth. Those that are poor in this life, fearing God, shall be rich in the next, for eternity. Those that are rich in this life, without the fear of God, shall be brought low, and humbled in the next, for eternity. Why are there poor and rich, why are there those, that drink wine, while others drink water? We see the answer to this in Romans 9:13-6; As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
God Gives Grace to the Humble and God Resists to Proud James 4:6
James 4:6 6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: " God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." I am not sure about you but sometimes I find it really hard to sit in a church week after week and listen to sermons that don"t add anything to you. I sat in a church for two years and did that and then in one angry phone call with the pastor I left. If you haven"t guessed it already, I had pride issues and still need a bit of counselling to get right down to the bottom of it. When you proud though it"s amazing how other people pick it up in your manner. I know a person that is really proud.
War, as Viewed by a Patriotic Christian
Life is precious in God's eyes, whether it is yours or your neighbors. The only goal in war as a Christian should be defensive, and just to prevent someone or something from killing you, or your nation. What I want you to understand is that I AM NOT advocating you to take a life, even in defense of yourself, unless it is the only last resort for your own or your nation’ s survival. Jesus said that "the meek shall inherit the earth." But my mind and heart tells me that statement didn't mean NOT to defend you, a loved one, or a nation from harm or your continued survival. Each of us resisting evil on whatever level is truly a battle or war.
Interesting Facts About Buddhism
An interesting fact about Buddhism is its history. Buddhism first developed in India through the teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha about 2500 years ago. His teaching is carried on in the Theravada tradition of Buddhism or the Teaching of the Elders. So the Theravada tradition is the Shakyamuni Buddha's original teaching. It is called the Path of the Elders. It is also called Hinayana Buddhism or the lesser vehicle. This is in comparison with Mahayana Buddhism - the Greater Vehicle. An interesting fact about Buddhism is that it is a living seed and the Buddhist teaching has grown over the centuries under the influence of other enlightened masters.

Oh, why you look so sad? Tears are in your eyes Come on and come to me now Don"t be ashamed to cry Let me see you through cause I"ve seen the dark side too When the night falls on you You don"t know what to do Nothing you confess Could make me love you less. Oh, why you look so sad? Tears are in your eyes As a man that suffers from Bipolar Disorder (manic depressive disorder) I have my blue days and often find my eyes filling up with tears. Sometimes the load can get so heavy and I really need the anointing and peace of the Holy Spirit just to cope. So often when I get sad I withdraw from all people and often I withdraw from Jesus also.
