According to Galatians 3:13, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law.

Christ has wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us and nailed it to the cross (Colossians 2:14). The only Law we are required to follow is Gods moral Law, which is to love one another as Christ has loved the church.

Tithing did not become a requirement until it was adopted into the Law. Pastor Price also discusses:

Giving: The First Step to Gods SupplyDo you have a need? Are your own resources inadequate

and too limited to meet that need? The disciples faced that same problem. One day after Jesus had been teaching a great multitude, He did not want to send them home hungry. When He asked the disciples how they could get enough bread for the huge crowd, Philip calculated the expense of feeding all the people. His conclusion: it would be too costly to provide even a little bread IRUHDFKRIWKRVHSUHVHQW$QGUHZWROG-HVXVDERXWYHORDYHVDQGWZRVPDOOVKWKHOXQFKRIDER\+LVFRQFOXVLRQQRWHQRXJKIRUso many people.

Often when facing a need, we consider only our own resources and abilities. But, remember, nothing is impossible with the God of miraculous supply. He supplies our need . . . according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

Exactly how Andrew obtained the boys lunch that he presented to Jesus is not revealed in the scripture. However, the fact that the lunch was given to Andrew, who in turn gave it to Jesus, reminds us of the power released in giving. Giving is an important prerequisite to receiving Gods provision in our lives. Jesus tells us, Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom (Luke 6:38).

-XVWDVVRZLQJPXVWSUHFHGHUHDSLQJJLYLQJLVWKHUVWVWHSWRreceiving Gods supply. This is Gods design for meeting needs. First, you must give. Then, God gives back with increase. God delights in giving abundantly.

The only way you can learn these truths about giving is to get into Gods Word and read it for yourself. In the same way that milk provides the essential nutrients for physical growth and development, Gods Word supplies us with vital ingredients for spiritual growth. The Bible is milk, and it is bread. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4).

God wants His children to take Him at His Word, believe His Word, act on His Word and be determined to receive the blessings that doing His Word brings.

If you are not a Christian and would like to become one, pray the following prayer:

Dear God in Heaven,Thank you for sending your Son Jesus Christ to destroy the power of

Satan over my life. I accept Jesus now as my personal Savior and Lord, and I choose to turn away from the sins of my past to a renewed life in Jesus.You said that if I would confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in my heart that you raised Him from the dead, that I would be saved. I believe Jesus died for my sins and that you raised Him from the dead for my benefit. Heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of salvation and for accepting me now as your child.

In Jesus name, AmenIf you have prayed this prayer, please let us know by writing to us at:

GOD HAS A FINANCIAL PLAN

never tire of hearing about the tithe because it has been such a tremendous blessing for me. Tithing has placed me in a position

where I can be a giver. I spent most of my life grubbing, trying to make ends meet. It was always a struggle just to have enough for myself. How can you give to others unless you first are able to take care of yourself and your own family?

For years, I could not tithe because I could not afford to. I did not have it. It was costing me everything I could make to take care of my family. But I made up my mind that I would never again be in a position where I could not tithe.

God wants you to get to a point where you can support the ministry of the Gospel. However, you cannot do it if you do not have the finances. The Lord cannot speak to you and say give $10,000 to a particular ministry if you do not have the money to give. He wants His people to be in a position where they will have it to give. God has a financial plan for His people; that plan is tithes and offerings.

There are still too many Christians who are not yet tithers. Some cannot afford to tithe. We hear people say,

You cannot afford not to tithe. Well, that is true, but first you have to get into a position to do it. God does not want you to tithe to the neglect of your other financial responsibilities. For example, God does not want you to tithe and then let a company repossess your car or foreclose on your house. God gets no glory out of a situation like that.

God does not want you in bondage. If you never gave a dime, God would still be God. Heavens streets of gold would not turn into rust, the pearly gates would not fall off their hinges and God would not be out of business if we do not tithe. When we give, it is not for Gods benefit. It is for our benefit, because not a penny that we give goes to heaven. It all stays in the earth realm. We are the ones who get the benefit of what we give.

When our 10,146-seat Faith Dome sanctuary was built, not a dime of what we paid to build it fell out of the sky. The funds came through the hands of Gods people. And it is those of us who worship in the FaithDome who receive the benefit from the facility. We also are the ones who benefit from the offerings that we give.

God wants us to be economically

playing the lottery. That is the worlds system, not Gods system. It is not biblical. But even so, if you won 55 million dollars in the lottery, many millions more were made than you received, because the lottery leaders are not in business to give away anything. They are in business to make money. It is

your responsibility to receive the prosperity that God wants for you, but you have to play by His rules in order to receive it.

Lets look at Joshua 1:8: This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it: For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

This scripture does not say that after you observe to do then God will make your way prosperous. It says you will. You are responsible for your own prosperity. God has done all He is going to do about prosperity. He has already provided it.

The verse says you will have

good success. That is excellent. You could not say it any better than that. There is good success, but there is also bad success. You are not experiencing good success if you make $10 million a year and your kids are on drugs. You are not experiencing good success if your family is torn asunder. Your net

worth according to the world might be phenomenal, but you are miserable. Your kids are running wild. Your husband (or wife) is sleeping at one end of the chateau and you are sleeping at the other, and the twain never meet. That is not good success.

Drug kings are successful, money-wise, but that is not good success. Good success is not only having financial and material wealth, but having the peace of mind, joy, and the assurance that your name is written in the

Lambs Book of Life. Good success is having your family and your children together and experiencing love and peace and harmony in the home. God wants us to be prosperous and to have good success.

As Christians, we are the righteousness of God, and as a result we have a new nature. Instead of living according to our flesh, we are to live according to the new man, which will yield the fruit of the Spirit. The Word says in Galatians 5:22-23:

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control As believers, it should be our aim to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ Our Lord. If you belong to Jesus, your lifestyle should be a reflection of the fruit of the Spirit.

In this series, Pastor Frederick K. Price teaches on the importance of walking according to our new man and not our fleshly man, as well as:

ling BINGE-EATING:

FEASTING BUTNEVER FILLED

By Robert E. BoldenBinge-eating disorder or B.E.D. is characterized by repeated episodes of heavy eating, as in bulimia nervosa, but is not followed by such behavior as purging, fasting, or excessive exercise. Its main characteristic is that bingers frequently consume unusually large amounts of food and feel unable to stop eating. The disorder was first described in 1959 by psychiatrist and researcher Albert Stunkard as night eating syndrome, and later the term binge-eating disorder was used to describe the same eating behavior at any other time of the day.

Binge-eating is one of the most prevalent eating disorders among adults. It is not simply overeating; it is a real medical condition that was formally recognized in 2013. Most people occasionally have seconds or thirds of a holiday meal, but for some people, excessive overeating that gets out of control becomes a regular occurrence and crosses the line into a binge-eating disorder.

People with binge-eating disorder, may be embarrassed about overeating and vow to stop, but then they feel such a compulsion that they cant resist the urges and continue binge-eating. Binge-eating disorder aects an estimated 2.8 million adults in the U.S., according to a national survey, and is more common among adults than anorexia and bulimia combined. It aects both women and men, but two times as many women are aected as men.

B.E.D. can occur in normal weight or obese adults, and occurs at a similar rate across non-Latino white (1.4%), Latino (2.1%), Asian (1.2%) and African American (2.5%) adults in the U.S. It is often a very sensitive topic that many binge-eaters are not comfortable '+(/#)#

ling discussing and may have hidden from their doctors.

There has been an increased in awareness about B.E.D., which is recognized as a valid medical condition. B.E.D. can aect or interfere with the ability to regulate food intake and create or greatly increase the desire for a particular food.

POSSIBLE CAUSE & RISK FACTORSThere are a number of possible causes and risk factors for B.E.D. While the exact causes are unknown, certain theories suggest that adults with B.E.D may have dierences in brain chemistry. Other risk factors may be that the condition runs in families.

Particular stressful events that happen in daily life at home and or work could be associated with B.E.D. Such events may include life-threatening accidents or natural disorders.

Many binge-eaters take in food extremely fast and eat beyond satisfaction. Eating a lot when not really hungry and eating in secret to hide how much is being consumed are key signs of the disorder. Those aected often feel terrible after a binge.

Keys to curbing the disorder include not eating on autopilot. Other curbs include eating regular meals at the table and not eating

in front of the television or over the sink, where you those aected tend to shovel in food without thinking.

WHY ONE SHOULD AVOID PROCESSED FOODS1. The majority of the food we get from the

market today is processed, with little or no nutritional value.

2. One feels empty and not completely satisfied after eating processed food and will continue to eat because they are not being satisfied nutritionally.

3. Processed food can be detrimental to ones health.

4. The food oftentimes has been stored for long periods before arriving at the marketplace.

5. Extra preservatives and certain chemicals are added to prolong the shelf life of certain foods.

6. The best choices are to choose filling foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains that are high in fiber. The fiber helps one feel fuller longer and, thus, eat less.

7. Pay heed to Proverbs 23:1-3 and Colossians 3:17.

Is Healing for All?#Z'SFEFSJDL,$1SJDF

mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

As believers, our minds are constantly being renewed by the Word and we are FRQWLQXDOO\ EHLQJ OOHG ZLWK *RGV +RO\Spirit as we pray in the Spirit. As we stand in His presence, we are made more like Him and become more of the apple of His eye. Just as the famed autobots and decepticons of the Transformers franchise can morph into the objects that are scanned into their mainframe, we become more like God when we allow His heart to be downloaded into ours.

The key is to upload our worship into His server, better known as the Throne Room. Second Corinthians 3:18 states:

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

The key to qualifying for this transformation into His image is to behold the glory of the Lord. The only way to do that is to get close enough to see His face. That cant be done standing on the outside of the Throne Room looking in. Its done by going beyond the veil (unveiled face) and having one-on-one worship time with the Father. Then we shall be changed. And that is what I call Extreme Makeover: Throne Room Edition.

Many times when we think of the infamous King Saul, we think of a jealous, deranged, bipolar, spear-throwing has-been of a king who was always hating on David. But Saul was indeed a king. In those times, the position of king was not arbitrarily or frivolously bestowed on a person. It was one third of the trifecta of faith: the prophet, the priest and the king.

In 1 Samuel 10, Saul is sent on an errand by the prophet Samuel. Samuel tells Saul that along the way, he will come in contact with some worshiping prophets:

3 Then you shall go on forward from there and come to the terebinth tree of Tabor. There three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.

4 And they will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hands.

5 After that you shall come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a stringed instrument, a WDPERXULQH D XWH DQG D KDUS EHIRUHthem; and they will be prophesying.

6 Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.

7 And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you.

We become most like who we hang around. In Sauls case, he became like the prophets he spent quality time with. As they worshiped God, he worshiped God. Its important as worshipers to surround ourselves with those who are not only familiar, but are also comfortable being in the courts especially, the Throne Room of God. Aligning ourselves with those who maintain a healthy worship lifestyle is key to being a dweller within the secret place of God.

Now lets examine what happened to Saul after the Spirit of the Lord fell upon him:

9 So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him (Saul) another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.

10 When they came there to the hill, there was a group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon

'+(/#)#

him, and he prophesied among them. 11 And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

,OLNHWKHUVWWKUHHZRUGVRIYHUVHHOHYHQAnd it happened . . . . To me, this translates into a simple equation: OBEDIENCE + WORSHIP = RESULTS.

Do you see the life-altering, purpose-enhancing power of worship toward God? When Saul put himself in the company of worshipers, the Spirit of God fell upon him as well. And it happened . . . . He began to prophesy with them. Saul left the camp an errand boy, but returned a prophet.

Eventually, Saul was elevated to king and validated among the people, all because he chose to be obedient to his mentor, Samuel, and was not just a spectator but a participator in worship.

This is what God desires for all of us as believers. He has so many things He wants to show, give and do through us. But some marching orders can only be shared behind the closed doors of the Holy of Holies. When we engage in worship to our Father, He lovingly draws us close to Him. Its there that goes we see Him face to face. There is a saying that goes Fathers are the mirrors that their children dress themselves in. Our heavenly Father is that mirror where we see ourselves as He is and we are changed.

THE SEED PRODUCES

& ' 8 1 6 + 1 0 # .The principle of the seed is found throughout the scriptures. Many passages depict the law of sowing and reaping and seedtime and harvest. Some scriptures UHIHUWRQDQFLDODQGPDWHULDOEOHVVLQJ,WLVFOHDULQWKH%LEOHWKDWWKURXJKJLYLQJwe receive a multiplied return. Other passages picture faith as a seed. Faith, like a mustard seed, is capable of producing great results. Other verses describe the power of the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ as seeds that are planted in a persons heart. The Word is designed to bring forth fruit. However, in John 12, Jesus presents the ultimate example of a seed that produces. He said His life was like a grain of wheat that falls into the ground and dies, but then it produces much grain. Jesus sowed His life to reap for the Father a great harvest of sons and daughters. We are His harvest.

Integrity is one of the most important qualities you can have as an enhancement

to your life. It affects your job, your schooling, your marriage, the filing of your taxes, whether or not you make a complete stop at a stop sign, whether or not you admit to a wrong youve done, and even such a thing as giving money back when youve gotten too much change. All these common situations can be challenges to integrity. However, integrity always pays off. It works in your favor even when it doesnt seem that it will. Having integrity means being totally honest and being truthful in every aspect of your life. It is the quality of having strong morals and principles. Integrity means doing the right thing. Its the state of being whole, unimpaired, undivided no matter whom it concerns. Integrity is more than just doing the right thing when someone is watching. Its doing the right thing when nobody is watching. Integrity comes as a result of spending time with God, and spending time with God is when your mind gets renewed to doing the right thing. Integrity is being transformed from the worlds way of thinking to Gods way of thinking. Galatians 5:16-17 tells us that if we walk in the Spirit, we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. The spirit and the flesh war against one another because the flesh doesnt always want to do whats right. For instance, would you leave a note with your name and phone number on a parked car that you accidentally hit? In other words, would you accept the responsibility for the damage, even though no one was there to witness it? We can subdue the lust of the flesh (doing, seeing, hearing and speaking things that arent of integrity) when we continually walk in the Spirit. What are you doing when the doors are closed on your life? What shows or movies are you watching on TV or at the theater? What kind of music has you captured? What kind of conversations are you engaging in? A person with integrity has unblemished character in not just one or two areas of life, but in every area of life.

Apostle and Dr. Betty strike me as consistent, and unwavering in their walk with God. They know that everything they do is a statement of who they are as persons and as children of God, not just to themselves but to everyone else. When you walk in integrity, you find that it will enhance your other good qualities. Whatever gift God has imparted to you will be magnified as you choose to be consistent in your walk. Even something as simple as putting the grocery cart back where it belongs points to integrity. What about getting to work, school, church, or any appointment on time; or keeping a promise that you made earlier, even though it is inconvenient? Ive had that experience. Its easy to make promises, but often very hard to keep them. Every time you do whats right or keep a promise youve made, your integrity is speaking on your behalf and strengthening your character. Romans 8 tells us, we are not just conquerors, but were more than conquerors. Being a conqueror is good, but being more than a conqueror is better. A conqueror is one who gains mastery over an obstacle or who wins by overcoming obstacles or opposition. Therefore, you can conquer cheating, lying, the breaking of promises, or whatever challenges you might have because you already have the victory over them. You can do all thingsnot some things, not some timesbut all things all the time through Christ who strengthens you. If youve been lying all your life, breaking promises, cheating on your income tax as well as your spouse, or even on a school test, then it may be hard to break those habits on your own. However, in Christ, you can do ALL things, because its His strength, not yours. Having come to Christ, there is no excuse for not walking in integrity in every area of your life. -EIF

The Formula for RECEIVING

heard a Baptist minister many years ago say that we are converted in parts. I like to say it this way: We are

converted in our hearts, but we have to do the rest to bring ourselves in line with the Word of God so that we can receive Gods best. God cant do everything for us. He saved our spirits, but were going to have to do something about our souls and bodies. One of the reasons we dont have faith in our hearts for everything that God has made possible for us is because we do not apply to our total way of living the formula of Romans 10:10 which says: For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Verse 10 is the formula for receiving whatever you need from God, not just salvation. For with the heart, one believes unto his needs being met and with the mouth, confession is made unto his needs being met. You have to confess, but you also have to believe. First John 5:4 says, For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world our faith. Personally, I believe there should be more Christians overcoming than there are. One of the major problems

is that most Christians dont understand how faith works or understand that faith without works is dead faith. You cant just confess and say you believe and then live any kind of way you want. Another problem is that many Christians say they are believing God for WKHLU QDQFHV KHDOLQJ DQG DOO NLQGV RIthings that would enhance their lives, but they dont think about believing God to get jealousy, envy, strife, and prejudice out of their hearts. They dont understand that it all has to work together and be based in the Word for us to receive from God. John 14:21 says He who has My commandments [thats His Word] and keeps them [that means to do the Word], it is he who loves Me. And He who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him. This last verse alone should be enough to make you to want to get into the Word. If you want to know if you love Jesus or not, you can trust that love by saying, Do I have His Word in my heart and do I keep it? According to the above scripture, the way you know the Father loves you is to do the Word. You want Jesus to manifest Himself to you? Then keep His commandments. Sometimes we get so busy doing

I

'+(/#)#

daily chores and jobs that we will put studying the Word off until the last minute, or not do it at all. We forget that it is the Lord who is giving us strength and the knowledge to do our jobs. We dont take it seriously when He says to do His Word. You wont know how to do His Word if you dont get into the scriptures DQGQGRXWZKDW*RGZDQWV\RXWRGR The devil will have you doing all kinds of things to keep you from your study. You have to be determined to do what you know is right and best for you. I dont care if you have to read the same verse ten times over; stick with it and beat the devil at his game, which is to cause you to be distracted. He knows that you can defeat him with the Word. You cannot go by how you feel. You have to learn how to walk by the Word of God if you want to defeat Satan and have success in life. The more you study the Word, the more you will confess it, the more you confess it, the more your faith grows. The way I study the Bible is to go through the New Testament from Romans to Jude and underline all the scriptures that tell me what I need. And then I memorize those scriptures to get them into my heart, so that when the issues of life come DJDLQVWPH,KDYHWKH:RUGWRJKWZLWKSometimes you cant always get to the %LEOH WRQGD VFULSWXUHZKHQ\RXQHHGit; thats why it is so important that you take time to learn the scriptures when you are well and strong. Another way we can build our faith is found in Ephesians 3:14-16: For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. For you to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man means that you have to spend time

praying in the Spirit, so you can build up your inner man. The Holy Spirit will be there to strengthen you. Faith does not work automatically. There are some things you have to do, and, as I said before, you cannot go by how you feel. You may not feel like praying in the Spirit, but you will have to ignore your feelings if you want to get results. You have to develop a habit of praying in tongues, just as you have developed a habit of brushing your teeth, taking a bath and exercising. I have never heard anyone say they enjoy exercising, but those of us who are committed to exercising do it because of the results we get. So if you want to be strengthened with all might in the inner man, you have to do your spiritual exercises consistently, just as you do the physical exercises. Paul writes in Ephesians 3:17, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith . . . . Notice that he says He may dwell. That means we have to allow Him to dwell. This scripture is not talking about salvation because you already know you are born again when you received Jesus Christ into your heart. Here, the Apostle Paul is talking about DOO WKH EHQHWV WKDW FRPH IURP &KULVWdwelling in your heart by faith. Jesus is the One who provides for our every living VLWXDWLRQRXUQDQFHVDQGRXUKHDOLQJ Paul picks up at verse 17 by writing, . . .that you, being rooted and grounded in love . . . . When we look around and see the kinds of things Christians do to one another, we can tell that a lot of people who name the name of Jesus are not rooted and grounded in love or in the Word. The reason we need to be rooted and grounded in love, according to verses 18 and 19, is so we may be able to comprehend [that is, to understand] with all saints what is the width and length and depth and height to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge [meaning youll experience the love of Christ on a personal level]; WKDW\RXPD\EHOOHG

with all the fullness of God. ,Q RUGHU IRU XV WR EH OOHGZLWK DOOthe fullness of God, we have to let all the goodness and righteousness of God be a part of our lives. In all the fullness of God, there is no hate, prejudice, envy, jealousy or strife. God does not have any of that junk in Him. And yet we see these things manifested over and over in Christians. I think people do things because God doesnt come and strike them down right now. But you know why God doesnt do it? Because He has all the time in the world. I always encourage those who are not living right to get right immediately. You cannot play with God and think you are getting away with it because something bad has not happened yet. I hear stories all the time about ministers having had affairs just about all of their ministry lives and because they have not been struck down, they

think theyre getting away with it. God has time. The Bible says to be sure your VLQZLOOQG\RXRXW (Numbers 32:23). If we want to receive Gods best, we have to let faith dwell in our hearts. When the Bible says do not commit adultery, do not commit fornication, do not steal or lie, do not have envy or jealousy in our lives, and we do what the Bible says, thats how faith is dwelling in our hearts. When you put faith in your heartand you cant go by how you feel because the old man is still alive, and he wants to continue doing some of those things that he used to do WKHQ \RXZLOO UHDS WKH EHQHWV RI*RGVpromises. Get busy doing what the Lord says in His Word, and whatever need you have will be taken care of. There is a scripture in the Bible for whatever you may be facing. With faith in your heart and obedience to the Word you will come through. -EIF

At the age of 27, Im the only one out of my group of best friends who is still

VLQJOH7KH\DOOVDLG,ZRXOGJHWPDUULHGUVWand live this ultra-extravagant life. I think of all the previous relationships Ive been in and how none of them would have been able to help me IXOOOP\SXUSRVH Im grateful that God removed me from those relationships. Because of His grace and mercy, I never married the wrong person, never had any children or contracted a diseases before I made the commitment to live right for God. God knows exactly what Hes doing, and its not our place to help Him with His plans for our lives. God has a purpose for me and its not tied to me being married. Being single is not a negative thing. Its a beautiful state where we can learn to be content and lead good, useful lives. In the beginning, God created Adam alonealone but not lonely. God created Adam to work in the Garden of Eden. Adam was so busy in his work/purpose that he never realized he actually needed a mate. God decided it was not good for man to be alone and presented him with Eve. She was created to help Adam. God knew exactly what He was doing when He created a man and a woman. He said WR EH IUXLWIXO DQGPXOWLSO\ DQGOO WKH(DUWKwhich took both man and woman. But Adam didnt go looking for Eve. Men, we have to keep our eyes on God and let Him handle everything else. In First Corinthians 7, Paul said that it is good for one to be single so they can focus on God. Marriage is not the most important relationship in society, though society has placed a high importance on it. Dont you think God would have started His creation with marriage or created man and woman at the same time if He felt that was how He wanted to begin His foundation? God is a God of order. +HNQRZVZKDWQHHGVWRFRPHUVWLQRUGHUWRWUXO\IXOOORQHVSXUSRVHLQOLIH Some think marriage is the cure for loneliness. Instead of focusing on pursuing

marriage, singles should learn to embrace singleness, because its the most opportune time to better yourself. The more whole you are as a single the more valuable you will be for \RXUVSRXVH,I\RXUHQRWFRPSOHWHO\VDWLVHGand whole as a single, then you will still be XQVDWLVHG DQG QRW ZKROH LQ \RXU PDUULDJHThe biggest myth is that when you get married, your spouse will become your better half and somehow complete you. The only person who can complete you is God. Jesus never married. This is proof that \RXGRQWQHHGWREHPDUULHGIRU*RGWRIXOOOHis purpose in your life. Spiritually, we dont need a mate. The Holy Spirit is there to help. In John 14:26, the Holy Spirit is called the Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Revelator, Teacher, Advocate, and Strengthener. You might want to reconsider your loneliness after getting to know the Holy Spirit. There is a big difference between being ORQHO\DQGEHLQJVLQJOH

Most Christians live several dimensions below where God desires them to live. They struggle to survive, are defeated in life, are out of work, and many are sick. They want a home, but think its an impossible dream. They want to be well, but believe they have to suffer with the condition. They want peace in the family, but think the situation will never change.

They love God, believe the Bible and go to church, but fail to understand that as Christians they have authority over the negative circumstances in their lives. The Bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith is the key, and strong faith will move every mountain in their paths.

Apostle Frederick K.C. Price writes: Gods Word is alive and it will do exactly what God sent it to do. But, until it becomes a living reality in you, it wont do you any good. It may be true, but it wont do you any personal good until it gets in you.

Getting that Word in you, and acting on what it says, will produce faith, and strong faith will turn the negative circumstances around.

By Frederick K.C. Price

Q: I have been praying Gods Word for what I think is His will for my life. However, the prayers have not been answered. What am I missing?

Since I found out how to pray in line with the Word of God, I have not had one single prayer that has gone unanswered. If you did not get what you prayed for, you did not get your answer. If the Lord is going to give me what He wants me to have, I do not need to pray. Jesus says, Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.

Someone may say, But suppose you ask for the wrong thing?

Why would you do that? Are you a &KULVWLDQ OOHG ZLWK WKH +RO\ 6SLULW" :K\would you want something that is wrong? God gives you the privilege to ask because He has IDLWKLQ\RX+HKDVFRQGHQFHLQ\RXWKDW\RXare not going to ask for something that will hurt the Kingdom or will discredit the name of Jesus. You should know what you are asking for. If you do not know what you are asking for, then you should not ask until you do know. Before I came into knowledge of the things of God, I thought that it was a mark of humility to end a prayer with, Lord, if it be Your will. The fact that I said, If it be, meant that I did not know what Gods will was.

If you do not know Gods will, you are not praying in faith. If you are not praying in faith, your prayer is not going to be answered. Gods will is in His Word. If you put, If it be, on the end of a petition prayer, it will not be answered. -EIF
