Jesus is Our Advocate
by Kenneth E. Hagin
If we sin, do we lose our salvation? If we are truly saved, will we ever sin? And if we do sin, what should we do to get rid of the guilt and the grief that hang heavy in our heart?
Facing Suicide
People are suffering from broken hearts.
Even when surrounded by godly people, it is possible to reach a place with so much pressure and pain that you cannot help yourself—you need the Body of Christ to reach out. Instead of casual advice like, "Believe God," you need someone gracious enough to put an arm around you and say, "We're standing with you."
Let's minister lovingly to hurting people—especially during times of trial, weariness, or grief. We need to realize that insensitive words minister to no one. Such words do not bring life. Let's pray for and strengthen one another with compassion and fulfill Jesus' commission to heal the brokenhearted!
—Kenneth W. Hagin
Having a loved one commit suicide is extremely difficult. Surviving family members deal with intensified forms of normal grief (guilt, anger, confusion, and so forth) and frequently feel isolated from others. They may feel shame about the manner of their loved one's death and not know how to explain it.
Those who would normally offer support to the family may also feel uncomfortable. They may keep their distance due to their awkward feelings and difficulty of not knowing what to say.
Mighty Men–A Call to Arms Men's Conference 2018
Conference Review
Hundreds of men gathered on the Rhema USA campus on November 1–3 to hone their faith, be built up in the Lord, and live above the attacks of the devil. Speakers at CTA aimed to strengthen, challenge, and encourage those who attended. The men left refreshed and better equipped to enforce the victory Jesus has already won for them.
Be sure to join us next year for A Call to Arms 2019, to be held November 7-9, 2019.
Highlights from the conference:
"It's time for the world to see godly men who dream big, accomplish the impossible, resist evil, and rise in victory." // Kenneth W. Hagin
"Sometimes it doesn't feel like we're triumphing. But God's Word says we always triumph in Christ (2 Cor. 2:14). The key word is always." // Craig W. Hagin
"God wants you to win. But to please Him, you have to stand in faith. Whatever you're going through wouldn't be in your life if you couldn't whip it!" // Roy Coggeshall
"When Scripture says nothing is impossible, it also includes getting your mind under control and not allowing it to control you." // Mike Cameneti
"When I lost my arm, I thought my life was over. I was ready to give up and dealt with suicidal thoughts for a long time. But God can use your pain and turn it into your purpose." // Jeff Bardel
"It's not enough to only get the vision from God; you have a responsibility to see it through to completion. You will never rise up in your man status until you do what God called you to do." // Earl Glisson
God's Interruptions: Can you help me?
By Lynette Hagin
The Day of the Lord is coming soon, and it’s time that we are about our Father’s business. Most of us lead fast-paced lives, and we can become so busy doing natural things that we neglect what God would have us do. Although there are many legitimate things we must do, we don’t want to become so engaged in activities that we miss doing what is truly important.
In my own life, I’ve found that I can be too focused on my agenda. I love checking off the tasks I’ve written on my “to-do” list. And once I get started on a task, I don’t want to be interrupted until I’ve finished it.
