Quotes
How Do You Do It?
In reading through the book, There is Always Enough by Rolland and Heidi Baker, the circumstances and difficulties that they endure are immense. Sometimes the events seem to be more than anybody could bear, while other times the sheer exhaustion of what they are doing would overcome many. So when asked about this, their response [...]
In Order To Be Useful
Rolland and Heidi Baker (more info here) sum up the Christian life here: But more deeply, in order for you to be useful to the Master… you must be close to Him and in love with Him. To the degree that you are intimate with Him, you will know what to do, what you must [...]
True Hunger for the True Gospel
Rolland and Heidi Baker of Iris Ministries (see this post) talk about when they went to a new province of Mozambique to hold a conference there. The hunger of the locals to travel the distances they did under the conditions they endured is incredible. And the response of Rolland and Heidi is so refreshing. No [...]
How Far Would I Go?
In reading this quote from Heidi Baker (of Iris Ministries) in her and Rolland’s book called There is Always Enough, I felt really challenged to consider at what point would I stop, or where would I consider that this was enough in what I am doing for God? Would I turn around and stop because [...]
More Hungry For God Than For Food
Pastor Rego speaks in Rolland and Heidi Baker’s book, There is Always Enough (see this post for details)… When I saw the first major miracle in my church, it really grew. I had a lot more power in my ministry when a mother was raised from the dead. And every day the sick people come [...]
There is Always Enough
I have been reading this book called There is Always Enough recently by Rolland and Heidi Baker about their amazing ministry amongst the poor of Mozambique in Africa and it has really challenged me to the core of my Christian faith. The following number of posts will be about quotes from this book. I hope [...]
Stop for the One
Heidi and Rolland Baker from Iris Ministries, in their book, There is Always Enough… No matter how big the revival is or how many thousands of churches there are, we hear the Lord’s voice again: stop for the dying man, the dying woman, the dying child on the road. Pour my oil and wine into [...]
Acting On Prophecies
Heidi Baker from Iris Ministries, in her and Rolland’s book, There is Always Enough, tells about her response to prophecies… Probably, like many reading this book, I have received prophecies for years that in our ministry the blind will see, the deaf will hear, the crippled will walk, the dumb will speak, the dead will [...]
Wake up, Church!
Quoted from There is Always Enough by Rolland and Heidi Baker. Many people in the Church are frustrated because they don’t see a harvest. They’re frustrated because they have so little fruit, and they wonder why. They keep going to the same people. In the parable of the great banquet in Luke 14:15-24, the rich [...]
How Would You React?
Quoted from There is Always Enough by Rolland and Heidi Baker. So as we were praying for a pastor to help these street girls, the Lord just spoke to my heart, "Louis." He’d never been to school. He couldn’t read or write until we got him into one of our literacy programs. He never had [...]
Giving Your Minimum
Multitudes of church members are satisfied with giving their minimum to God, not their maximum. I’ve watched men and women during offering time in church. They open their fat wallets and search for the smallest amount they can give. This type of attitude will never do! Jesus gave his whole life for us, and we [...]
What are “labels” except division
So many times I have heard people talk about this denomination or that denomination or this “religion” or that “religion” and so on. The reality is that we are all simply people standing before a living God. All of this talk simply creates divisions; an “us” against “them” mentality. Having grown up without knowing much [...]
The Debate About Christmas
This is a great perspective aligner on the whole issue of Christmas that has been going on this holiday season in the USA. I fully agree too – let’s get back to the core of Christmas and not get bogged down in the trivial. I am nearly confident that if Christ were born in 2005 [...]
The Voice of the Conscience
David Kirkwood sends out a regular e-teaching every month. This month the topic was “The Inward Voice.” Explaining that even though the written law was given to the Jews back in the days of Moses, people already were living by a law that existed since the beginning. This was the conscience. Below is a quote [...]
Christian Warriors – Or Not
Listening to a seminar today, in the conference that I am currently part of, I heard part of the testimony of a communist warrior who lived in the jungles of South America, fighting for his cause. Converted to Christ, he was unable to return to his group for fear of them now killing him, and [...]
What’s This About Martin Luther?
Well I have read a lot of writings on the church history and essays too. I am no professor, only a pleb going about my daily business with an interest in the things of God, but I think I may have hit upon one of the best writings about the history of Martin Luther. Now [...]
A Faith Revolution Is Redefining “Church”
It seems that more and more Christians are not going to church anymore. They still love and serve God but church seems to be irrelevant. I have been one of these, although I still go to church, I find it mostly a routine. There has been a buzz lately about some new research that has [...]
I Don’t Want to Be Like Them
While browsing around on the Internet, I came across a website called PostSecret where people can send in a secret that they have never told anyone via postcards. There is some sad stuff there, but this card was the one that impacted me the most. The sad thing is that in a lot of ways [...]
Quotes to make you think
I put this up on my main blog at Rob’s Rave, but thought it worthwhile putting here too… (NB: what was two separate blogs are now merged as one) While travelling around the web I ran into a few quotes that I thought were interesting enough to save because they make you think: Preach the [...]
It Takes Courage
Recently a friend sent me an email containing an actual prayer delivered before the Kansas House of Representatives by Central Christian Church Pastor Joe Wright on January 23, 1996. It was not word-for-word accurate but was a fair representation. I tracked down the original and have reproduced it below: Heavenly Father, we come before you [...]
A VISION of the LOST
“A VISION of the LOST” -by William Booth. [Founder of the Salvation Army] On one of my recent journeys, as I gazed from the coach window, I was led into a train of thought concerning the condition of the multitudes around me. They were living carelessly in the most open and shameless rebellion against God, [...]
A Foot From Hell
Some people like to live under the bells and steeples of a church. I want to run a rescue shop within a foot from the gates of hell.
