Bringing Heaven to Earth
Rev 21:2-7, 10-11, 22-27
Happy 250th birthday to the greatest nation in the world truly brought to us by God. There is no nation on earth that has had one Constitution as long as we have. Though we are not a perfect nation, we are the best place to live and raise our families. To keep this country a great place to live, we […]
Today we celebrate dads. Good dads and our heavenly Father have much in common. Luke 12:32 says, “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.” A good dad gives his children whatever they need to flourish in his household and to prepare them for the future. That is how our heavenly Father […]
Happy Mother’s Day from New Jerusalem Church! I thought I’d post Proverbs 31 and remind us what God created us to be. To be the Proverbs 31 woman, we must have both a spiritual and practical devotion to God, and we must trust in that as we step forward in faith to do what the scriptures say, that God will […]
Pastor Joe and I have been born again and Spirit filled for close to 50 yrs. If not for all that God did for us, we would not have the blessings we’ve had throughout the yrs and the blessings we enjoy now. Everything that we as Christians are entitled to is by the death, resurrection, and shedding of the blood […]
Several years ago Pstr Joe and I were leaders of a prayer group. We met with our core group prior to the meeting to pray for the meeting, and God told us we would be attacked by someone who wanted to challenge our beliefs on healing and faith. We asked God what to do about it. He told us the […]
During a recent church service we were singing the song “Seek Ye 1st the Kingdom of God”. The last verse is “Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God….”. The Lord began to speak to me about this scripture. The scripture is found in Mathew 4:4 and Luke 4:4 […]
“I know I’m behind my time, but I was making quite merry.” —-a quote by Bob Crachit in the 1951 movie “Scrooge”, but it’s a true statement for me. No Christmas message because I was making quite merry enjoying my family and resting –so I’m behind my time. For my Christmas message I thought I would give you a prophecy […]
My husband (and co-pastor of New Jerusalem Church) and I believe that God wants to be in constant contact with His people through His Word and with His voice. If we had not believed that God wants to have a relationship with us like He did with Adam and Eve before the fall, we would never have made it through […]
This month has been extremely busy for me. I had 3 events to oversee and implement. Two were church related, and one was a family event. It was an enormous task for me, and yes, I had help, but as far as my thinking went, I could have been overwhelmed. I was determined not to do these events as I […]
We’ve had help to misunderstand the Bible. I’ve found that it’s not that some of the Bible has been mistranslated, but that the translators left out the complete meaning of the Hebrew and Greek. This, in some cases, gave us an incomplete understanding or was misleading. I translated Is 53:3-5 from the original Hebrew. It leaves no doubt that Jesus […]
