Feast of the Heart II

It is common to hear people say “I am my own master”. In other words, nobody has the right to tell me what to do, except me. I take care of myself and do what I want, when I want. I am my own boss.

In a way, this makes total sense because we are the kings of our own lives. However, whether you want to accept it or not, there is a spiritual king who has complete reign over your life: the King of Light or the king of darkness. Of the seven billion people in this world, each one has a palace where feasts are held for their guests.
We already know which foods appeal the most to the king of darkness, which is the devil, and his guests, the demons.

If, on one hand, demons are attracted to the feast in the palace of the heart, on the other hand, the King of Light –the Lord Jesus– is attracted by the aroma of delicious foods that awaken the desire for Him to come into the heart and once there, dine with the host in perfect communion.

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." Revelation 3.20

Take a look at this list of foods that appeal to the King of Light:

Plate 1 – Sincerity
Plate 2 – Acknowledging your insignificance
Plate 3 – Complete surrender
Plate 4 – Confession of sins
Plate 5 – Renounce (sacrifice)
Plate 6 – Obedience to the Word of God
Plate 7 – Rational Faith
Plate 8 – Thirst for the Holy Spirit
Plate 9 – Faithful in everything, including tithes
Plate 10 – Baptism in Water

These are some of the foods that the King of Light finds appealing, when He finds someone willing to give up their own reign to offer it to Him, who is nothing more or nothing less, than the Author of life. This gives us a better understanding why He is called "King of kings". We are the kings of our lives and He reigns over us. Isn’t that wonderful, Assistants and all other readers?

"And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." Revelation 19.16

God bless you all

Youth Group

We know that the best time to get on the right track and prepare for the future is during our young years, when we're open to learn, ready to start, and game for new challenges. This is why the YPG exists. It's a way to grow together in an exciting and productive way to successful adults. The YPG meets every Saturday at 2pm and Sunday 12:30pm. The meetings are very interactive and always include an inspiring message, singing, and games. Youth Pastor works with the youth by not only meeting with the group, but also sitting down with each group member for counseling a number of times every week. We're not like other 'feel good' groups out there. We sure want you to feel good but more than that — we also want you to do well for yourself. You will mature and become an above-average youth just by coming to the YPG meetings. If you're ready for some challenge, then you're ready for the YPG.
