"I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up, for the course of Christ."

" These are the writings of a man who is out of his mind."

If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, it is for God. 2 Corinthians 5:13

Always start a read with prayer and end with prayer.

HEAVENLY FATHER,

Search us, O God, and know our heart, try us, and know our thoughts. And see if there be any wicked way in us, and lead us in the way everlasting. Have mercy upon us, O God, according to thy lovingkindness, according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out our transgressions. Wash us throughly from our iniquity, and cleanse us from our sin. Then opened our understanding, that we might understand the scriptures. May your word, O GOD, reproof us, correct us, and instruct us in righteousness. In the name of JESUS we pray this prayer. AMEN!

I will have healing just as I have salvation

Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. JESUS told unto the seventy, Behold, I give unto you power to tread on se...

A Living Sacrifice

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Friday, October 19, 2012, In : Witnessing

Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Mori...

The Tongue

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Wednesday, October 17, 2012, In : Witnessing

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and mocked him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile th...

GOD'S Love

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Sunday, October 14, 2012, In : Testify

Never mind all the things you've done, the mistakes you've made ... I see YOU. And you're beautiful. And I will stand by and love you while you heal.

Sometimes a marriage gone wrong can be devastating to one. So much so that they do things that they thought they never would do. So much so that they make bad decisions and become dismayed by anger, hurt and pain. I speak from experience and I am here to say, " Thank you GOD for being the very one who stood by me and loved me while I healed. Than...

Not My Own, But GOD'S

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Friday, October 12, 2012, In : Witnessing

Mis-conceptions

I find that the world I live in is that of my own.

I find that the body I live in is that of my own.

I find that the knowledge I have is that of my own.

I find that the money I have is that of my own.

From the day of birth this is built into us. It is our nature. Here I take things for granted and do with them as I desire.

I learned the things I know from my parents, from friends, from school and from the streets. I used the knowledge I have to earn the money that I have. Everythin...

Learning from GOD

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Friday, October 12, 2012, In : Witnessing

Genesis 1:1, John 1:1, Proverbs 3:5, Matthew 16:24, Mark 1:17, John 14:21, JOHN 14:16. I opened the scriptures and GOD spoke to me and I chose to believe what HE said to be true. It was hard for me to not believe all the things I had been taught, but I had to put on the cross everything I knew and was taught, crucify it,bury it and raise up a new creation. One willing to deny myself and my ways and to be a useable vessel unto GOD. Each day I awake, I ask GOD to speak to me and teach me what H...

For me, the truth is Gal. 2:20. CHRIST lives in us and the life we live is by faith that HE loves us and gave HIMSELF for us. As with Peter when he stepped out of the boat, By faith he walked on water. Our faith that CHRIST is living our life gives me freedom of all laws, but when I am in the flesh, as with Peter we start to see that we have broken all the laws and it take us away from the truth. GOD'S gift of salvation can never be taken away as we are HIS children we can never be pluck...

Come Follow Me!

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Tuesday, October 9, 2012, In : Witnessing

Everywhere in scripture that I see Believe with it comes Faith, or I see Faith with it comes Believe. They go hand in hand and they are as one with each other. As well, everywhere in scripture I see Sin with it comes Flesh, or I see Flesh with it comes Sin. We are born into Sin. We are born into Flesh. Sin then is the Flesh. When we are in the Flesh we are in Sin. When we Sin, we do so in the Flesh. Therefore Sin is who we are and flesh is what we live in. They go hand in hand and are as one...

Sermon On The Mount

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Monday, October 8, 2012, In : Sermon on the mount

Sermon on the mount. I saw something in this that I had to share. I see just how the church came to be and how it should continue to be. Matthew 4:23 -- Matthew 5:2 . I see someone that is above the others so all can see HIM. I see many gathered around HIM so they could hear HIM. I see Him using HIS hands to point at things and making shapes of things so they could better understand what HE was trying to teach them. I see that people went about telling others what they had seen and heard. I s...
