russpond added a link contribution Ask God, expect answersDon't go to God like he's a giant spiritual wikipedia--plug in the question, spit an answer. No, that's not relationship. God is far more concerned about you, not just the answers you need. Sure, he wants you to come to him when you need wisdom, but come to him through relationship, not just through a need to know something. Read more »

russpond added a link contribution Seeing... The Key to LifeHere is what is amazing about this description from Genesis 2:9. I know what trees look like.

russpond added a link contribution Fighting unbelief and doubtHave you ever noticed how easy it is to doubt the truth? Why is it so difficult to doubt lies? Belief and doubt are filters that either let things into our minds or keep things out of our minds. Someone makes a statement, or describes for us how they perceive us. If we already believe the thoughts they’ve shared; they gain instant entrance; the thoughts enter in and join up with similar thoughts we... Read more »

russpond added a link contribution The power of Christ was limited by their unbeliefI find it amazing that the power of God can be limited corporately by what people choose to believe or not believe. It's no wonder why there is very limited supernatural work in America. Read more »

russpond added a link contribution A different kind of prayerThis is the kind of prayer that we need to be praying, that God will not give us things, or stuff, but that he will give us insight, revelation, and understanding about what we already have in Christ -- freedom, peace, rest, healing, strength -- all the blessings of Abraham.
