Does God Forgive us of our Sins?
The answer is Yes!!!
Have you ever wondered if God has forgiven you for the things that you have done wrong?
We should never feel as if we can’t go to God and ask Him to forgive us for each and everything that we have done wrong.
****We were born into this world as sinners. However God provides us an opportunity to be pardoned for our sins.
In 1 John 1:9 (AMP) 9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose].
So in essence, in order to be forgiven for our sins; we must first acknowledge that we have sinned. Then we must confess our sins to God, and then ask Him for forgiveness. God will then honor His promise to continually forgive us and cleanse us for the sins that we have confessed to Him; once again restoring a right standing with Him.
God Bless you all,

CHOF Ministry’s “Christian Concept”
Should we ask to have our Hearts cleansed on a regular basis?
The answer is Yes!!!
In our Christian walk we often find our Hearts bogged down with the burdens of the world.
The burdens of the world cause our Hearts to become overwhelmed and trodden down. The world’s burdens fill our Hearts with sickness, heartaches, hurt, pain, distractions, despair and sinful acts.
As Christians we are not able to continue to function with overwhelmed and trodden down Hearts. An overwhelmed and trodden down Heart greatly impedes our Christian Walk.
Our Hearts have to be cleaned out and cleansed on a regular basis in order for them to function correctly.
In Psalms 51: 10 (AMP) Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right and steadfast spirit within me.So in essence, to keep our Hearts cleaned out and in excellent working condition we have to ask God to continually cleanse them; so that we can have a clean Heart and a right and steadfast spirit inside of us at all times.
God Bless you all,
Happy New Year!!!!

First Lady Donece Houston’s “Christian Concept”
Should prayer be a part of our
“ADLS’ (Activities of Daily Living)?The answer is a resounding YES!!!
***Prayer is an essential ADL (Activity of Daily Living) that should be used often throughout each and every day
In 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (AMP) we are instructed to steadfastly continue to pray without ceasing.
Prayer serves as our way to communicate and have a conversation with God.It is through our prayers that we are able to:
(1) Give thanks to God for the many blessings that He has bestowed on us.
(2) Confess our sins and ask for forgiveness for all of the things that we have done wrong.(3) Place our requests and petitions before Him.
So in essence, our prayers serve as a way to communicate on a personal level with God. It will be through that continual ongoing daily conversation with God that we are able to gain encouragement, strength, forgiveness and healing.
***So in order for us to maintain an ongoing daily conversation with God; praying has to be added into our “ADLS’ (Activities of Daily Living) so that it can be exercised nonstop throughout each and every day.
God Bless you all,
Enjoy the rest of your week! 😀 -
First Lady Donece Houston’s “Christian Concept”
In your Christian Walk; is it better not to know,than to know?The answer is: It is better to KNOW, than not to know!!!
It would be very easy in our Christian walk if we were able to be excused for the sins that we commit as a result of not knowing any better.
Unfortunately just not knowing something doesn’t make it ok for us to engage in that act or activity.
That excuse is just not acceptable. In Hosea 4:6 (AMP) God states that his people are destroyed because of their lack of knowledge.
God has supplied a huge resource for our use so that we can be knowledgeable about what is acceptable to do and what is not.Our main resource to use is the
Bible (B)- basic (I)-instruction (B)-before (L)-leaving (E)-earthThe Bible covers all of the instructions that are needed to guide us through our Christian Walk while we are here on this earth.
In 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) it shows us that in order for us to attain the knowledge that is needed to guide us through our daily Christian Walk that we must study so that we can show ourselves proper before God.So in essence, it is up to us to learn and become knowledgeable about what is acceptable for us to do or not to do, so that we can present ourselves correctly before God.
*** Be advised that once we have acquired that knowledge and still choose not to do what is morally correct and expected then God will judge us accordingly.
God Bless you all,
Have a great week! -
“Is God Angry?”
The answer is a RESOUNDING YES!!!
This should not be a hard question for a Christian to answer. Every Christian should be able to recognize that God is indeed Angry!!!
Today’s Society has turned into a Modern Day Sodom and Gomorrah. There is so much corruption, crime and evil that is taking place every minute of the day.
Stealing, Killing, Cheating, Robbing, Bullying, Peer Pressure, Terrorist Activity, Sexual Immoralities, Disobedience, Lying, Adultery, Fornication, Embezzlement, Ponzi Schemes, Coveting, Jealousy and Idolatry are just some of the heinous activities and actions prevailing in our world today.
Understand that God is in the midst of handling “all” of these devious, malicious, and heinous activities that are taking place every minute of the day in our Society.
Romans 1:18 (AMP)
18 For [God does not overlook sin and] the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness suppress and stifle the truth,
***God is not pleased with the non-stop devious, malicious, and heinous activities that are occurring; they have angered Him!!!!If our Society is not careful and doesn’t change from its wicked ways, actions and activities; God will fully release His wrath again upon our Modern Day Sodom and Gomorrah just as He has done in the past.
Genesis 19:24 (AMP)
24 Then the LORD rained down brimstone (flaming sulfur) and fire on Sodom and on Gomorrah from the LORD out of heaven.In essence God’s Wrath is currently being shown to us through the increased historic disasters, turmoil, demise and devastation that are simultaneously happening throughout the world. His wrath should really serve as a wake-up call for all us. It is indeed time for us to get our houses in order.
God Bless you all,
Have a great week! 😀
