Victory Today

What do you think the answer to the youth crime problem is? How do you deal with bitterness and unforgiveness?  What do you feel Christians struggle with the most?  And more---

Today you will meet several servants of God who didn't let their trials of life stop them. THEY CONQUERED the trials life sent their way and tens of thousands have been saved because they found the what to their circumstances.

When we ask God why something has happened we challenge His authority and question if He really knows what He is doing? Have you ever said, "If you loved me you wouldn't have allowed this to happen? If we allow bitterness to enter our life we have played right into Satan's hand.

  So often trials will come our way and we want to scream "Why Lord? Why?" Then later on down the raod of our christian journey we see the "Why and we see the "what" He wanted us to learn IF we are open to His wisdom. In the meantime, when we ask why we are actually questioning His authority and His wisdom when it comes to guiding our lives.

Why do bad things happen to good people. If I were to count the number of times zi've been asked this question it would be in the thousands and easily the number one question of all times.

The truth about Romans 13. Questions answered about government corruption.

For every action there is a reaction but for every action there is a cause. Today we will address the horrible violence we all see and explore the main causes for it and what God's Word says.

There was a day when America and Canada basically honored God and the traditional moral values were the rule and guide of our lands. We have looked at the family---TV and other boxes and the flaunting of immorality ---today we look at how churches in general use to be.

If all else fails read the directions! I'm sure you've heard that many times but it is so true. God's Word is a step by step guide for life, marriage, child rearing, finances---everything. And it is arule and guide for nations to be blessed---"Blessed is the nation who's God is the Lord."

It is not only important we remember HOW it use to be but WHY it was that way. There was a day when America and Canada honored God and we lived in  BASICALLY MORAL, GOD FEARING LAND. THE ANSWER FOR ALL OF TODAYS ILLS IS GOD.  II Chronicles 7:14 is the only answer to save our lands.

Does God "go with the flow" and amend what He calls sin with the times? Update on Dr. Pam. How to communicate with a spouse or teenager. What do you say about a 22 year old young lady leaving a bar at 2:30 AM and found dead in the Mississippi river? 19,000 children abducted from Ukraine by Russia. Many have had their organs harvested.

In Psalm 10 the evil does say God doesn't see---God doesn't care---He won't do anything. My friend they are wrong on all counts. He sees, he knows, He cares and He will repay. My challenge to you is---LET IT GO! We've all had people treat us bad and hurt us. If the truth be known we all have felt like getting even. But all that does is block your blessings. Let go and let God---He will take care of it.

It is not only important that we remember HOW it use to be but also WHY America and Canada were once nations that honored God. When you ask why all these vulgar tirads and foul mouths rants read Psalm 10 and listen today.

Psalm 10 today. I'm sure we've all said "What's wrong with these people. Don't they even fear God?" Answer---no they don't. He isn't even in their thoughts. But where are God's people. Why won't they stand and fight this evil?

I'm sure we are get them. If you buy something on Amazon or have your car serviced you'll get a text asking you to rate their service. Today we're going to pretend God is asking us the rate from one to ten how our church attendance is. How our prayer life and Bible reading is, etc.

Whats behind the whole attack on mnhood? Is ir wrong to remind God of His promises in your prayers? The importance of good gospel music in your life? Teaching kids to be good losers. Taking care of widows andd orphans.

The second most important decision you will ever make in your Christian journey.

I'm sure you've heard the saying "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" but you can remind an old preacher just how good our God is! Today I share with you somethings God remind this preacher of over the last few days.

Nothing has ever impacted my life and affected my faith life more than this little boy's story

Nothing that has ever happened in my life has impacted me more and had a more profound impact of my faith life than this story.

An open discuss of yesterdays program and a report of the status of our pulpits

One of the biggest blockades to spiritual blessings is the devastating effect when a spouse cheats. Feeling of betrayal, bitterness oft times turn to hatred and a best unforgiveness. Today's program isa result of several stories I've heard in the last week. Sadly, cheating is rampant in today's world and the fallout is ruining good lives.

Life is full of disappointments and reversala. How we manage then will either free us to more of God's blessings or Satan will use unforgiveness and bitterness to his advantage. I pray you will heed this final  part of this message.

God never promised us a rose garden but said He would always be with us and make a way. His Word is full of promises to meet our needs and bring us through our struggles. He and He alone is your route to peace and comfort. Nothing in this world will satisfy but He always will!

Life is full of disappointments and reversals for Christians as well as non-Christians. The difference is as Christians we have a God who loves us and a Christ who will walk with us and guide us and has every answer we need. He is able and never fails but we must make Him our first resort rather than our last and we must trust Him through every trial.

A special 4th of July program

Do you thank God for living in a free land to hear the truth and worship God? Many don't today!

One of the saddest parts of caring abpot peop;e is watching them go through things that God could have and I have to believe wanted to avoid them experiencing. His power is totally unlimited yet how often do we leave His presence and power behind and launch out in to a day to a world of uncertainty without it?

Letting go and letting God is one of the hardest things a child of God has to do! Many say they are trusting but in reality they are still trying to control the situation and somehow believe they can handle the situation better than God. Let go and let God!

A boy asked:"How do you know Jesus really lived?" Does the Bible permit divorce and should a woman stay in an abusive situation? The Biblical definition of love.

American Express says, "Don't leave home without it." I say regaurding the power and protection of God---DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!

The world is a very different place from a few years ago and horrible things are happening to good people everyday. There is a power and protection available to every child of God but we need to pray and ask Him for His hedge of protection.

Sadly many compare themselves to movie stars for beauty or rich people for wealth but Hebrews 12:2 says Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. The real question is: How do we compare to Him? His Word discribes in detail the standard---how do we compRE TO THAT STANDARD?

The world is in great need for intercessory prayer. Where ever two or three are gathered together God says if we touch it (claim it) He will do it. Everything happening today is exactly as He said it would be. We need to much in prayer in these days and claiming His great power.

I'm sure you've heard it said, "When you come to the place where He is all you have---you'll realize He's all you need."  Two things I find people struggling with. One---complete trust  Two---worried they are not doing enough.

Are we seeing the final days? I honestly don't know but I do know this is what they will look like someday if these are not them----SO===this might be a good time to strengthen our relationship now in preparation for that day whenever it comes.

Psalm 46:1 says "He is a very present help in trouble." If He is good in times of trouble---He's good all the time. 24/7 in good times and trouble He is ever present and wants to walk with you.

Is there any sin God won't/can't forgive? Making God your first resot rather than last. Can God fix my situation? Biden's autopen puppeteers. Praise for an alumni couple of FVUSA

The take away of this story is: If you stay away from God long enought you will be marred and in time "good for nothing."

When a person or a nation says "God, I don't care what you says or what you want me to do---I'm not going to do it!" God wants you away from Him and a long way away.

There are several take aways in this story we'll discuss over the next few days. It's both the story of an individual and a nation who outwordly rebel against God and His authority and refuse to adhere to His Word. In such case God wants you away from Him---far away---Eupharates away!

There are times in our Christian journey when God will lead us in paths we simply do not understand only in due times to explain His purposes. Know this---He never makes a mistakes. He understands exactly what He is doing---exactly your situation and He has a plan for your life. Our job is to be obiediant and faithful knowing all things will work together for our good and His purpose.

How close do you feel we are to seeing Jesus? How are things in the Ukraine? Can you give us an update on the lawsuits? Why do you always date the programs?

"Except you become like a little child." When you were a child did you worry about your mommy dropping you? Well God promises are surer than anything you've ever trusted but you MUST trust Him.

Many have said "I don't listen to the news it's all bad." Well don't forget the "bad" stuff moves us closer and closer to the day of the Lord and should cause us to set up our urgncy to ne a witness to all He wants us to do and those we are suppose to reach for Him.

The scripturers are full of challenges to control what goes into your mind. To "delight" in God's Word and focus on Him and claim His every promises. Greater is He than he that is in the world but you have to take charge of what you let enter your mind.

alan knows if he can get your faith you can not please God. Heb. 11:6. The war is for your mind. Think good, positive thoughts and count your blessings! Whatsoever things are good and of good reports think on these things.

How do I get my teenager to listen to me? Several questions from spouses about their marriges? How do people in foreign counties find out about VT---finally we have the answer! How do I increase my faith?

Sadly real fervent prayer is our last resort rather than exercising the real power at our disposal. God is our only hope and His power is totally unlimited but there are some qualifications required to see His power work in our lives and over our families.

I will share what I am hearing from kids and parents and what parents and grandparents can do to combat it.

Happy Memorial Day
