We cannot forget, during these times of struggle we are covered with the blood of Jesus. All those cracks, all those openings for the evil one to get into are covered; but he continues searching, looking for a way into our hearts and minds. So what do you do when you find yourself in the middle of a battle with the evil one? What do you look for when things seem to be going wrong? I ask these things not to scare you, but to prepare you; because they will come. Sometimes they’ll even come daily.…

What Are Those Voices I Hear It’s easy to hear those voices and sometimes even easier to follow them. Why not, they are the loudest and most convincing voices you’ve heard all day. Besides, they are always there, trying to convince you of how bad things are, or how troubled you should be about something or even more so, that you should take action you know is wrong. https://youtu.be/ymeGej4EGrQ…

Happy Father's Day 2022 35:56

So how is a young man supposed to be a good father if no one is there for him? If no one will mentor him and guide him? Many times the father chooses a path other than raising their children…they walk away. But is that their fault? If they have questions, or are raised a certain way that’s not right, but they don’t know that. They think the way they were raised was right, so they emulate their fathers, or in some cases they emulate the fatherless home.…

Be Still It’s hard to Be Still, especially when we have so many errands, so many people depend on us and we feel obligated to help them. I’m not saying don’t help those who need help, but what about you? What about you taking time to be still; time to be with the Lord? He’s always waiting on you.

They Won't Always Be There - Or Will They? 1:29:21

MartwinwoodChrisitanChurch.com 1 Thessalonians 5:2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. No matter how much we prepare, we never know when the thief will come. I’m not talking so much about when the thief comes for me, but when the thief comes for those closest to me. Just as Jesus passed on, so too will our many friends and loved ones. The one thing we all have in common is the Spirit we leave behind. The Spirit we see in others. For the saved, it is that same Spirit Jesus left us. That beautiful, wonderful Spirit He gave to us. Just as your spirit is obvious in a hallway, in a room, or an office we've decorated, so too will our spirit be shown in those who love us.…

Fear is a Liar 32:58

We aren’t the only ones who occasionally have fear. The disciples did too. Their savior was gone. The Messiah that was supposed to save the world, bring the Israelites back home, was gone. He had warned them, but you see, they were stuck in the natural. John 20:19 Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews,…

Jesus Is Always With Us - The Road to Emmaus 28:34

hace 3 years28:34

28:34

Now when we get back to the Road to Emmaus and what Luke is trying to tell us with this scripture. Let's put this into perspective: Two disciples are probably somewhat bewildered about what has happened. They are probably unnerved that the person they were going to follow is no longer alive, or so they think. Then, as they are walking along several things happen. The first is that Jesus appears to them; they don't know who he is. I think this happens to us a lot too. Although Jesus is right here with us, we don't recognize him or open our minds to see him. They went on to tell about what had happened and that he was sentenced to death, etc. Then he told them they are foolish. Luke 24:13-15 Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem. And they talked together of all these things which had happened.…

He Is Risen! 29:27

hace 3 years29:27

29:27

Mike Bitter talks about there being more to the resurrection than meets the eye. Jews believe that the spirit does not leave the body for three days. Sound familiar? Yes, Jesus did not rise for three days, but did you ever wonder why it took Jesus so long to get to Lazarus? Jesus seemed like he was not in a hurry to save his friend, Lazarus. He seemed like He took forever to get to him. In fact Jesus waited three days after Lazarus was dead to bring him back from the dead so the officials at the time knew it was truly a miracle. Jesus came back from the dead after three days for the same reason; to prove he was the Christ. The officials at the time could not dispute that Jesus was the Christ after he rose again from the dead. There is another custom Jesus used to send a message to the Jews. www.martinwoodchristian.com…
