Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
Psalm 123 is a Psalm of Degree, also known as a Psalm of Ascent. What is that? When Jewish people went to Jerusalem for a feast or some other reason, it was said they “went up to Jerusalem.” They took the journey very seriously and kept their focus on the Lord. They examined their motives […]

When I was young, Christmas was about Christ. I sang in a church choir, and we began practicing our Christmas songs long before December. When I was in the eighth grade, my teacher made arrangements for the class to be dismissed from school to walk around the small town in which I lived and sing […]

Adam chose to sin. Eve made the mistake of chatting with Satan and allowed him to cause her to question God’s truth, but Adam chose to sin. The world has been under the curse of death ever since. We tend to blame God when bad things happen, but God is not to blame. He made […]

If you are reading this, you are probably as anxious as I am to hear that call to “Come up hither.” The Rapture will be exciting for those of us who love Jesus and yearn to go Home. When will it happen? Even though Scripture gives no specific time for it to happen, most of […]

What has gone wrong in this world? The answer is simple. “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil” (John 3:19). We can give lip service to God all we want, but unless we die to self, take up […]
The post Returning to Scripture :: By Nathele Graham appeared first on Rapture Ready.
There’s no doubt about it. People enjoy celebrating. Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduation, retirement, and more. Then there are the big celebrations like Christmas and Thanksgiving. These are all happy occasions which should be celebrated with friends and family. God wants us to enjoy life, but He also wants us to use discernment in how and […]

Do you like watching scary movies? I don’t. In my opinion, movies have gone way too far in horror and many other genres. These movies serve a couple of purposes in Satan’s agenda. First, they make evil and sin familiar and acceptable. They also can open a way for real demons to enter a person. […]

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:17). In the United States, we set aside one day each year and call it “Thanksgiving.” We all have different ways of celebrating that day. Traditionally, families […]

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Jesus gave us a gift that is uniquely from Him. He gave us life in this world, and by faith in Him, eternal life. “All things were made by him; and without him was not […]

“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame” (1 Corinthians15:33). The congregation in Corinth is an example of how we are not to live. It’s also an example of a congregation that was rebuked […]
The post Evil Company :: By Nathele Graham appeared first on Rapture Ready.
There is no doubt at all that this world holds a lot of evil. Too many people blame God for that evil, but that just shows a lack of understanding of Scripture. God has given us Truth, but most people pick and choose what they want to believe at any given moment. Instead of studying […]
