We have many resources to help you learn from the Bible if you click here. In this section, the Bible section of www.iChristianLife.com, we have an online Bible so you can read the Bible and search through it on your computer. We have 6 Bible Studies that you can take, one on each of the 6 Keys to Christian growth. And we have a video series by Dorman Followill of 1 to 2 minutes each about each of the books that are in the Bible.

Each week we are looking at one of the 6 Keys to Christian Growth. This week is Key 4 — the Bible.

The Bible is God’s Word. The Bible can be “a lamp for your feet and a light to your path.” God through the Bible can lead you and guide you. You can learn about God through the Bible and how to live a godly life.

The Bible is a book that is inspired by God. There are two main parts to the Bible. The Old Testament tells the story of God’s dealings with mankind, largely the nation of Israel, before Jesus Christ came to earth. The New Testament tells the story of Jesus Christ and His early followers — the first church.

If you have never read the Bible, a great place to start is in the New Testament. There are four gospels in the New Testament — Matthew, Mark, Luke and John — that tell the story of Jesus and His life here on earth. There you will learn about Jesus and His saving love for you — how He lived and died on our planet earth and rose again. It is a great idea to read the Bible every day — for it gives you spiritual food just like you get physical food every day. The Bible is God’s Word and can give you spiritual strength as you read it and learn from it and memorize it and put it into practice in your life every day.

So this week, let us pray that

  • God will teach you how to live a Christian life through His holy Word the Bible
  • God will protect our staff at Global Media Outreach and help us to be filled with His joy and peace and love
  • God will provide financially both for you and your family and also for our ministry

THANK YOU so much for your prayers. When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, you become part of a worldwide family of true Christians. We are brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ.

May God bless you and your family,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” Matthew 6:9 13

If you click here you can watch a short video series by Jim Denison about 6 keys to a strong prayer life with God. You can also learn more about prayer at www.iChristianLife.com.

Each week we are focusing on one of 6 Keys to Christian Growth. This week, our topic is prayer.

What is prayer? Prayer is just talking with God and being with Him. As a Christian, you are a child of God and can pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ. Just like you would have a conversation with someone you love, you can tell God you love Him. You can praise and worship Him, since He is God. Ask God for forgiveness for any sins you may have committed.

It is also important to listen to Him. While God does not talk to you in a voice you can hear, if you are quiet you can often sense His presence.

And God wants us to ask Him for what is good. You can pray for God’s blessing on your friends and family, and that God would save your loved ones who may not know Jesus Christ.

It is important to spend time with God each day. It can be a good idea to set aside a certain time each day to pray and talk with God; many people find that the first thing in the morning is a good time of day.

Finally, pray in faith. God honors and answers prayer that we pray believing for His will to be done. So, this week, let us pray that

  • God would save your friends and family who may not already be Christians
  • God would help us at Global Media Outreach be protected and full of His love and joy and peace
  • God would provide for us so that we could reach millions with the gospel

We hope you will have a great time each day spending time with God. THANK YOU so much for your prayers!

May God bless you,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach

“So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature...But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” Galatians 5:16, 22

You can learn more about the Holy Spirit by clicking here The “New Life” section of www.iChristianLife.com has excellent information about the Holy Spirit and how He can transform your life.

Each week we are looking at one of 6 Keys to Christian Growth. The second key is being filled with the Holy Spirit.

Who is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is God — here on earth, in an invisible form. How can we be filled with the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit comes and lives in us when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. We can then ask God to fill us and control us and empower us with His Holy Spirit each and every day.

What difference does this make? Without God in your life in the person of the Holy Spirit, you could end up trying to live the Christian life just on your own efforts. With the Holy Spirit in your life, God Himself can live His life through you. This means that God the Holy Spirit can give you His peace, and love, and joy. You can ask Christ to flow through you and give you His attitudes, and replace your sinful thoughts with His presence.

Think how amazing this is! We, who are sinful, are forgiven by God through death of Jesus Christ. Then, God Himself will come and fill our lives with His Holy Spirit as we ask Him to!

So, this week, can you join us and let’s pray and ask God to

  • Forgive us our sins
  • Fill us and control us with His Holy Spirit each and every day
  • Help our staff at Global Media Outreach always be clean before God and filled with His Holy Spirit

The Spirit filled life is the key to a joyful, victorious Christian life. Thank you so much for your prayers. Let us join together and ask God to shine the light of His love through our lives through the power of His Holy Spirit.

May God bless you,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach

At the "Know God" section of iChristianLife.com, you can learn about God; watch the Jesus Film moveie; listen to the "Discover God" series by the late Dr. Bill Bright; and find out much more about Jesus. This will help you know God better.

There are 6 keys to Christian growth -- Knowing God, the Spirit Filled Life, Prayer, the Bible, Community (Church), and Reaching Out. Each week for the next 6 weeks, we will look at one of these as our prayer focus.

The first and most important is knowing God. The Christian life is not just a bunch of rules -- it is personally knowing God through Jesus Christ our Savior. There is one true God who created the heavens and the earth and who rules over all the universe. His nature is love; He is just and kind and all powerful.

He sent His Son Jesus Christ to this earth so that all who believe in Him as Savior could be forgiven our sins and have the gift of eternal life. If you have sincerely prayed to ask Jesus Christ into your heart and life as Savior and Lord, you are a Christian. This means you are a child of the King!

Once you have accepted Christ as Savior and Lord, you should try to know Him -- and know about Him -- as much as possible. God is now your heavenly Father and He loves you very much!

This week, let us pray that

  • God will draw millions of people around the world to Himself
  • God will help our Global Media Outreach staff team to walk victorious in Him
  • God will help you to know Him more and more

Praise God that we can rejoice in His great love! It is a wonderful privilege to have our sins forgiven and to be called the children of God. Thank you so much for your prayers and for your love for others!

May God bless you,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach

Click here to watch the series “10 Things Every New Believer Should Know.” These 10 short (2 minutes or so each), thought provoking videos by Jim Dennison covers such topics as how to resist temptation in your life.

As Christians, we can be optimists. What is an optimist? An optimist is someone who believes that things will turn out well.

As a believer in Jesus Christ, how can we believe that things will turn out well? We must be realistic — we know there is still pain and suffering in the world.

At the same time, we know that God is loving and He is in control. Someday He will end this present time on earth and set up His kingdom where He will rule, and all death and sorrow will be done away. We also know that we have His Holy Spirit living in our lives as Christians this very day, and we can trust in Him and pray to Him always. We also know that our sins are forgiven when we accept Jesus Christ as Savior.

What can help us be optimistic? In the book of Philippians chapter 4, Paul says “Rejoice in the Lord always.” He then says “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Then he says, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.”

So God can help us to be optimistic as we: 1) Rejoice in the Lord always; 2) Do not be anxious, but pray about everything with thanksgiving; 3) Put our mind on good things.

This week, let us pray:

  • God will help us have a positive mental outlook
  • God will bring physical healing to someone near to you
  • God will protect our staff at Global Media Outreach and surround us in His great love

THANK YOU so much for your prayers. God hears and answer prayers; so, as you pray, we are covered and protected in God’s love. You can let us know how we can pray for you by hitting “reply” and sending us your prayer requests, and one of our volunteers will pray for you.

May God bless you,

Here is how you can be joyful — click here and you can learn from Joyce Bartholomew how you can have the joy of God in any circumstance.

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice.” The apostle Paul wrote these words about 2,000 years ago. When he wrote these words, he was in prison for telling others about Jesus.

How could someone say to rejoice — to be happy — even when in prison? He could say that because his joy, his happiness, came from Jesus Christ. When you have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, here are just some of the things you can rejoice about. You are a child of God You will spend eternity in heaven with Jesus Christ when you die Your sins are forgiven God loves you and wants the very best for you God will hear and answer your prayers The God of the entire universe is good, and loving, and kind God has given you the gift of the Holy Spirit to live in your life The fruit of the Holy Spirit in your life is love, and joy, and peace, and so much more

That is why Paul said rejoice in the Lord — because the source of our joy is God. The source of our joy is not our circumstances. And because of that, we can rejoice always — not just some of the time or when our circumstances are good.

So this week, let us rejoice. And let us pray

  • God will bring joy through the Holy Spirit into your life
  • God will bring joy to our team here at Global Media Outreach
  • God will help us bring millions to Jesus and they will experience God’s love, joy, and forgiveness this year

THANK YOU so much for your prayers. We are reaching many with the gospel, and some day in heaven we will meet and we can say THANK YOU in person for how much your prayers have contributed spiritual power to make this happen.

May God bless you,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach

Would you like to know how God can help a marriage that is failing? If you click here. you can watch the story of how God’s love put back together a marriage that was falling apart.

“Be strong in the Lord.” Where does our strength come from?

We may think we are strong because of our money, or our health, or our good looks, or our position. But all these things can fade. Money can go away; our health may fail; we all get older; and we may lose our position.

But God will never fail us. When we ask Jesus Christ to be our Lord and Savior, He comes into our lives by the power of His Holy Spirit. Jesus now lives in your life and in your heart — and He is stronger than anything in this universe. So you do not need to be discouraged, or downcast, no matter what happens. God is your strength — a very present help in times of trouble.

How do you access God’s strength? Through having faith in God’s Word by the power of the Holy Spirit. Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him; and He will direct your path.

So this week, let us pray

  • God will give you strength to “stand strong in the Lord” no matter what the circumstance
  • God will encourage our staff team at Global Media Outreach and fill us with His joy
  • God will help us present the gospel to millions more this year — and help people grow in Christ

As we begin this new year, THANK YOU so much for your prayers. They are a tremendous source of the spiritual strength that we need as we seek to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the whole world.

May God bless you,

Your friends at Global Media Outreach
