Bill Johnson Teaches How to Take Communion at Home

10/9/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
About the video: Pastor Bill Johnson, a fifth-generation pastor with a rich heritage in the Holy Spirit, teaches us about the essentials of receiving communion in one's private, dedicated prayer time at home.  We encourage you to partake in the Elements of Holy Communion regularly to enhance your walk with the Lord Jesus. We pray that as you do, you would draw ever closer to the Lord and in your fullest of days, live out your God-given destiny, Amen.


Relevant Scripture: I Corinthians 11:23-29 (TLB)  For this is what the Lord himself has said about his Table, and I have passed it on to you before: That on the night when Judas betrayed him, the Lord Jesus took bread,  and when he had given thanks to God for it, he broke it and gave it to his disciples and said, “Take this and eat it. This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.”  In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new agreement between God and you that has been established and set in motion by my blood. Do this in remembrance of me whenever you drink it.” For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup you are retelling the message of the Lord’s death, that he has died for you. Do this until he comes again.  So if anyone eats this bread and drinks from this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, he is guilty of sin against the body and the blood of the Lord. That is why a man should examine himself carefully before eating the bread and drinking from the cup. For if he eats the bread and drinks from the cup unworthily, not thinking about the body of Christ and what it means, he is eating and drinking God’s judgment upon himself; for he is trifling with the death of Christ.

About Bill Johnson: Bill Johnson is the Senior Leader of Bethel Church in Redding, California. He serves a growing number of churches that have partnered for revival. This apostolic network has crossed denominational lines in building relationships that enable church leaders to walk in both purity and power.

A Godly Perspective on Grief and Loss with Megan Marshman

10/7/2025

0 Comments

 
The following video, named "Grieve With Hope," is by Megan Marshman, who holds a Doctor of Ministry and serves as a teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church. 

She shares not only about grieving the loss of death, but also about grieving the loss of anything in our lives: a marriage, a job, an estrangement from family members, the declining health of self or others, and other types of painful loss. 

Goals of the Message:
1.) Recognizing What Grief Is
2.) Learning Why Grief is Important
3.) Learning to Grieve Well

Relevant Scripture: "All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ."
​
-2 Cor 1: 3-5 (NLT)

OUR PRAYER FOR YOU is that the Heavenly Father will enfold you with His love as you lay your burdens down at His feet. May the Lord give you peace, comfort, strength, and His Kingdom perspective on your loss, so that you can live in hope and purpose. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

On Identity: Insecurity, Inferiority, and Self-Hatred with Vlad Savchuk

10/5/2025

0 Comments

 
In this inspiring video, "What Happened to my Eyes," Pastor Vlad Savchuk openly shares the deep insecurities that were in his life as a young man, due to a birth defect and other life circumstances.

Vlad experienced bullying and negative thoughts associated with his physical appearance, moving to a new nation as a young teenager, and having few friends. He wrestled with despair and self-hate. He explains how he overcame these obstacles through His relationship with Jesus.  

We invite you to watch this short video and wait until the end for the prayer if you struggle to find purpose in living life. (Also, please consider sharing this with the teens and young adults in your life who may be struggling.)

Ponder this Scripture: "For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." 
-
Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)


🙏 Our prayer for you is that you will discover your true identity in Jesus Christ ~ and whatever negative self-perceptions you have will be laid at the foot of the Cross today.  And, that you will see yourself as He sees you- a masterpiece of His creation, meant to live out the fullness of your days to fulfill your Godly Destiny!  In Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen 🙏

Too Good To Not Believe! by Lighthouse Of Christ's Faith Community Nurse

10/5/2025

0 Comments

 
Perhaps today, you need physical healing, a mental healing, healing from trauma or abuse in your soul, freedom from addiction, or maybe you're praying fervently for a lost loved one to come to know the glorious light of salvation in Jesus.

In continuing our series on Supernatural Wellness and Healing, we invite you to watch the following healing testimony video and then reflect on the actual miracles Brandon Lake and his fellow worship team have witnessed during their ministry time, as testified to in the lyrics of the following worship song.

​God is a God of wonder-working, restorative, healing power. So, how do you begin to unlock God's healing in your life? We know that we must have faith, pray and declare His healing Scriptures, and saturate ourselves in Godly healing music as we seek His Face for our miracle! If you're unsure where to start, here is an excellent resource for Healing Bible Verses.  

We invite you to listen to the following song, "Too Good To Not Believe," and as you do, we pray that you receive from the Lord today increased faith for your miracle. Like the prayer of a desperate father in the Bible pleading for the Lord Jesus to heal his son: "Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, 'Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!' ” (Mark 9:24 NKJV) 

Friend, trust us- God's TOO GOOD TO NOT BELIEVE!

🙏Our prayer for you today is that you will receive the healing that you need to continue on the path to fulfilling God's call on your life and fully live your Godly Destiny! In Jesus' Name, Amen!

What Are Anti-Inflammatory Foods & Why Are They Crucial for Health? | Dr. Rob Lustig Ultimate Guide

10/1/2025

0 Comments

 

From the video description: "Levels Advisor Robert Lustig, MD, describes how to change your diet from one that is inflammatory to one that keeps inflammation in check.

❌ You can lessen inflammation by avoiding these ingredients:
  • Processed seed oils (i.e., soybean, corn, canola)
  • Sugar
  • Ultra-processed foods (often laden with seed oils and sugar)
✅ You can eat an anti-inflammatory diet by prioritizing these ingredients/nutrients:
  • Fiber: fiber feeds your gut microbiome.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids: these support the brain, neurotransmission, the immune system, and cardiovascular health.
  • Vitamin D: this vitamin suppresses toll-like receptors, and that suppression helps control inflammation."​

Relevant Scripture: "Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body." -1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NLT

About Inflammation: 
"Studies have shown that chronic low-grade inflammation is associated with the development of a number of chronic diseases.  In particular, it is associated with an increased risk of mortality from all causes, as well as an increased risk of cancer, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative disease, and cardiovascular disease.  In addition to physical diseases, chronic inflammation is implicated in the development of mental illness, including depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.

Diet plays a key role in inflammation.
 
For example, Mediterranean dietary patterns, which are rich in fruits, vegetables, fatty fish, poultry, extra virgin olive oil, and whole grains, are associated with lower systemic inflammation.  On the other hand, Western dietary patterns, which are characterized by low consumption of fruits and vegetables and high consumption of ultra-processed high-calorie foods, are associated with increased levels of inflammation." (Source: https://nutrition.org/the-link-between-diet-inflammation-and-disease/ 

Our prayer for you is that you would prayerfully consider submitting to the Lord in all things- including changing unhealthy lifestyle choices.  By avoiding inflammatory food choices, you will enhance your overall health and longevity. May the Lord bless you with the grace to practice a healthy diet and choose healthy, non-inflammatory options, so that you may live the fullness of your Godly destiny. May you one day hear from God, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." (Matthew 25:21) Amen!
