AN AFFAIR-PROOF MARRIAGE

AN AFFAIR-PROOF MARRIAGE By Pastor Duane VanderKlok Affection, intimacy, fulfillment- everyone wants to experience these in life. Single or married, young or old, you have an inner longing to be close to someone. This would not be a problem except our society has been flooded with false information about intimacy and sex. People have come to believe that God is a prude, so they neglect His advice and end up in adultery. God is not trying to keep something from you, He’s trying to get something… Continue

A WORD OF THE LORD - TIME OUT FOR A NICE LITTLE SERVICE

TIME IS OUT FOR A NICE LITTLE SERVICE I was just about to shut my computer down when the Lord spoke to me about “Nice little services.” A nice little service is the way a lot of churchgoers describe their Sunday church services. But the Lord said to tell His people that He cannot move or fit into nice little services. The Lord said He wants to release and manifest His power, His might and His glory in the church. But many Pastors have no room and make no room for Him. He said His people continu… Continue

THE BLEEDING CHURCH - Part 2

THE BLEEDING CHURCH - Part 2 We must get to the root canal of this in the church if we are going to help get rid of some of this aching pain in the church. In the church we find, jealousy, envying. People don’t feel good about themselves. They feel they don’t measure up to other people cause they don’t dress like them, or talk like them. They don’t live or drive a car like them; or carry themselves like them because they don’t know how. They are jealous or envious, all because of their insecuri… Continue

THE BLEEDING CHURCH - Part 1

The Bleeding Church: The church with an issue of blood. Unfortunately, in some of the Black inner-city communities and nations, the most terrible crime is the Black on Black crime, or the Blacks killing the Blacks. The Blacks are killing their very own race senselessly. And it does not just exist with the Black race that I can speak well of because I am Black. But we know it is happening in other cultures too in the East. However and with whoever, it’s another form of genocide. Genocide is a sy… Continue

HOW IS YOUR LOVE LIFE?

HOW IS YOUR LOVE LIFE? Have you ever been asked the question “How is your love life?” Well during my life time I have been asked that question several times. And when that question was posed to me, it was relating to me having a man in my life, and the status of that relationship with that man. It also related to if I was in love with someone or if I was dating someone. Today I am asking you how is your love life. But I am asking you about your love life with the Lord. Jesus says in “If you lo… Continue

ARE YOU QUALIFIED TO BE A DISCIPLE BUILDER?

When you think about any job or profession, there is a preparation and training process that one must go through to be qualified, skilled and equipped for that job. For many believers in ministry, they are holding many titles and positions that they are not equipped, trained and qualified for. Even when it comes to being disciple builders, many are deficit of the necessary skills to be effective and productive disciple builders. As God's people, we must learn to major the minor things that keep… Continue

GOD'S AGENDA ON PRAYER

Our enemy has strategically designed and orchestrated things that would bring devastation, division and disruption, to our nation, the body of Christ as a whole and to us as individuals. It would behoove the body of Christ, we as belivers, to deliberaely and agressively take the same approach. By setting up and executing a strategic plan that would expose, divert, overthrow, dismantle, annul,cancel, nullify, discharge, etc., ALL the plans of the enemy, we position ourselves as watchmen and warri… Continue

SIN IS OUT TO KILL AND DESTROY YOU

“For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 We know according to the word of God that sin is many things. It entered into the world through both Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Since then, sin has been translated into many forms, and each of those forms serve only to kill, steal and destroy. The purpose of this discussion on sin is to help you really realize the seriousness of the effects of sin, and the impact that sin ha… Continue

YOU MUST HAVE GOALS

My notes from You Must Have Goals by Dr. Charles Stanley: 1. Goals must be clear, should be able to see, visualize it/them enough to write it/them down. If you can't write it/them, they're not clear enough. 2. You need a consuming desire to accomplish your goals. You should have a divine motivation, passion and energy for your vision/goals. 3. You must have confidence that you can do it. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13. 4. You must have course of act… Continue

HOW TO SEEK GOD'S FACE

Believe it or not, for many of God's people, seeking God's face is as foreign to them as the language and dialect of another country. The Lord spoke to me some years ago "My people don't know how to love, they need to be taught how to love." He also said, "They don't know how to receive love." He then instructed me to do a radio series on How to love and how to receive love. And even as the above is true, for many of God's people, they don't know what it means to seek God's face and therefore do… Continue

WHO ARE YOU?

WHO ARE YOU? Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:16 ‘Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh; yea though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.” I Samuel 16:7 “…for the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outer appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” This need to be our cue to know no man according to their outer appearance, their flesh or their works. Many people today are going through the act of worship, “Wherefore the Lord said,… Continue

THE OTHER DAUGHTERS OF THE KING

THE OTHER DAGHTERS OF THE KING This morning the Lord spoke to me about “The other Daughters of the King”. And this is what He said: They don’t wear the best clothes or live in the best houses or neighborhoods. Even some of them live on the streets. Their clothes are tattered and worn, filthy and smelly. Their personal hygiene is not up to par. They do what ever they can to survive. They don’t have weaved hair or manicured nails and their smell is far from the fragrance of my adorned daughters… Continue

STATE OF EMERGENCY - CODE RED

STATE OF EMERGENCY – CODE RED Dear People of God, I was awaken this morning about 2 a.m. by the Holy Spirit, with such an urgency to do this blog. I posted a day or so ago, 2 blogs on “Prayer Agenda For America, Part 1 & 2.” The Spirit let me know that the enemy is mad about us coming together in prayer. He will be doing things to attack us, our bodies, loved ones, finances, homes, anything that he can, to distract us, discourage us, or busy us from our prayer and our assignments in minist… Continue

THE PROPHETIC WIND

THE PROPHETIC WIND There is a prophetic wind that is now stirring and flowing throughout the land. This wind will carry the voice, will and plans of God. It will carry new assignments for some, and bring closure, completement and finality for others. It will usher some into their destiny and put some on their proper journey or God-mapped journey. It will bring personal words of life, healing, blessing and direction like never before. “Clarity” and “suddenly” best describes how these thin… Continue

CHARACTER CHECK - Part 1

CHARACTER CHECK LIST I found in my walk and dealing with people, that people whether a leader or not have many character flaws. And these character flaws are overlooked, ignored and not addressed by them or any one else. These character flaws shape the way people think, determine how they relate or communicte to other people and they also affect the environment where they live, church, or work.These character flaws are like cancer, they will not just go away, but they will eat at us a… Continue
