The Promises of God in the Bible – Can You Afford To Ignore Them?

Posted on May 21, 2011 by Mike and Charleen Ecuyer| 2 Comments

The promises of God in the Bible give us hope to live each day with great expectation. Is that how you are living? I’d be willing to say that 99% of Christians, including myself, have failed to do this consistently. I think we tend to only focus on His promises when some challenge happens to come along.

We cannot afford to ignore His promises because without them we are left to create our own alternatives. The promises of God in scripture are there for us to depend upon and live by. And we can depend on them fully because  the Bible tells us that God is not a liar. It also tells us countless times to put our complete trust in Him and in His promises.

The following passage in Hebrews 11:6 should get yout attention:”… for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Did you get that? Our Heavenly Father wants to reward us and that’s a promise!

If that concept is a bit of a stretch for you, let me ask you this. Do you get excited about opportunities to reward your own children?

I believe that the church is in such a weakened state because we have failed to put our faith in the Biblical promises of God. You see, our level of faith determines whether we experience the blessings of His promises or not.

Another key from this passage is our need to diligently seek Him. God gave us a built-in way to do this starting about 3500 years ago. He simply invited us to join Him by celebrating His feasts and getting in line with his timing.

These aren’t rules and regulations to follow but they are His way of getting us positioned to receive the fullness of His abundant blessings. Through this, we can enter our own promised land, which is the destiny He has for each of us.

Since God is the One who created time, I think it is understandable that He would have His own calendar with His own special times of feasting. As we celebrate these times to honor Him, His promises of blessing found throughout the Bible are unlocked for our benefit and for His glory.

If you choose to ignore His special events, I believe you are also choosing to ignore the promises of God in the Bible.

We invite you and your family to learn more about His Biblical feasts and watch the doors of God’s blessings open up for you to enjoy.

Will Biblical Parenting Help Me Gain Victory Over Today’s Struggles?

Posted on September 27, 2010 by Mike and Charleen Ecuyer| 9 Comments

3 Minutes Will Change Your Family Forever!

Biblical parenting can certainly supply the tools your family desires to gain victory over the battles confronting you every day. We’ll show you the best ways to get started.

Before we begin, allow me to ask you a question. What is the initial thought or picture that comes to your mind when you hear the word “parent”?

If you said “discipline” or got an image of disciplining, you need to adjust your focus.

It may be time for an attitude revolution, and Biblical parenting is the answer you are seeking.

There are several new and old fads available ranging from authoritarian parenting to permissive parenting.

All you need to do is take a quick look at how children act at the mall to realize the majority of parents are struggling BIG TIME.

The answer is to return to the fundamentals – Bible parenting.

The Bible has plenty to say about parenting.

While there may only be a handful verses that directly address parenting, many passages present useful insight to direct parents.

But who will you turn to as your authority on parenting wisdom?

Is it going to be Dr. Phil, Dr. Spock, Oprah, or your Heavenly Father?

A effective place to begin is finding a several Scriptures on parenting.

One such verse is located in Eph.Ch. 6:4 and says, “Dads, don’t exasperate your children; instead, raise them up in the guidance and instruction of God.”

Now this might appear fairly simple. Do you have any idea how many ways there are for loving parents to provoke their children? There are plenty, and as parents, we have to be careful to avoid them.

The 2nd aspect of this passage demands that you be informed about the Lord’s directions.

Let’s take the 10 Commandments for instance. Could you identify them right now?

Our Supreme Court outlawed them from public schools because they could persuade our sons and daughters to tell the truth, not steal others’ belongings, and also be faithful to your spouse.

I am not kidding.This occurred in 1980.

The idea here is that parents should have an useful plan to follow and stick to, in order to be successful.

There is a great deal in the Bible that is worthwhile for parents.  Hey guys, we don’t need to re-invent the wheel.

Pick a couple of areas in which you hope to see your family progress in and spend some time finding some passages that fit. Apply them consistently and your family will certainly experience the transformations you are expecting.

There are no short cuts to becoming a wise parent, but Biblical parenting is the most helpful means to help you successfully cope with today’s home struggles.

Put some enjoyment and celebration back into your home. Come with our family and start celebrating with the Biblical feasts now.

Jewish Cookbooks Contain A Spiritual Treasure That You Never Imagined

Posted on July 24, 2010 by Mike and Charleen Ecuyer| 4 Comments

How can you discover the treasure hidden in Jewish cookbooks meant for your family to enjoy?

If you have ever looked at Jewish cookbooks before, you know they are not the traditional Betty Crocker types. Don’t get me wrong – I have found Betty Crocker to be very helpful in the past.

You will find out quickly, however, that there is something very different about these cookbooks.

They are not just a collection of recipes. Jewish food is closely tied with their culture and especially their holidays.

And that is where the treasure is hidden for your family - the Biblical feasts.

It is here that I firmly believe many Christians have been missing out  on some very important opportunties. The Biblical feasts are awesome chances for times of powerful fellowship with the Lord.

Very briefly, these feasting times include the 3 major annual feasts: Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Trumpets and Tabernacles. Also included are the weekly Sabbath celebrations and the monthly Firstfruits celebrations.

So, as you turn the pages of Jewish cookbooks, you are actually opening the doors to celebrating our Creator in ways He already set up for us to do thousands of years ago.

From the moment I began looking over one these culinary treasures, an exciting adventure began in my heart.

As a Mom of 12 children, I love to find new opportunities for family celebrations. But the Biblical feasts are times that God has asked US to participate in “FOR ALL GENERATIONS”.

As our family began this spiritual adventure, I found myself looking forward to these times of the year more than any traditional holiday.

I knew in my heart that we were learning about the truest forms of celebration and devotion of our Heavenly Father.

So what is this spiritual treasure and how can your family experience it?

God has placed within each of His Biblical festivals a powerful spiritual key. They contain spiritual truths that we need to celebrate and experience year after year.

The best way to do this is follow these 2 simple steps:

1) Get a basic guide on the Jewish feasts from your local library or the internet, and

2) Don’t get too caught up in the details and KEEP IT FUN!

You won’t find a more sure-fire guarantee anywhere when it comes to enjoying the treasures of God’s kingdom.

I found a most unexpected treasure in Jewish Cookbooks which has enriched our family’s walk with the Lord. It has become an exciting adventure for us every year.
You can grab hold of additional FREE details on how to start celebrating the Biblical feasts and taste some delicious Jewish recipes.

Jewish Feasts – 7 Life Changing Reasons For Christians to Celebrate

Posted on May 25, 2010 by Mike and Charleen Ecuyer| 6 Comments

3 Minutes Will Change Your Family Forever!

The Jewish feasts are like treasure ready to be discovered. Celebrating them opens the door to changing your family’s life forever. They actually are an extension of the life-giving power of Jesus. Let’s take a look at the 7 reasons you will want to make them a permanent part of your life.

1) Celebrating the Feasts Releases God’s Power-

Awesome displays of God’s miracles in the early Church were common UNTIL the middle of the 4th century. They began to disappear when the Roman emperor Constantine discouraged any connection between the Church and observing the Jewish feasts at the Council of Nicaea in 325AD. I am suggesting there is a strong relationship between celebrating the feasts and experiencing God’s miraculous power in your life.

2) Using God’s Calendar-

I think almost all Christians would agree that God is the author of time. So why would the concept of God having His own calendar be so strange? He revealed this calendar to the Jewish people, but it’s available to you and me. We operate on what is called the Roman calendar. Hidden in God’s calendar are many opportunities for us to experience the fullness of His blessings. Is it time for you to make room for the Hebrew calendar?

3) Start Strong Every Time-

A strong start is vital to our success in life. We see this in building a strong foundation for our houses. We see it in how we plan any new project. God recognized our need for strong beginnings by giving us 13 chances each year to get our lives on track and KEEP them there. These are called the Firstfruits Celebrations. Through them, you can tap into a new ability to start strong and rise to the top.

4) You Are Meant To Be an Overcomer-

Are you overcoming the obstacles you face in life on a regular basis? This may surprise you, but Scripture is full of encouragements for us to walk in the power of God. We are called “overcomers”, “conquerors”, and “dominion-takers.” Get ready to see God’s life-changing power operating in your family as you do 1 simple thing. Follow the Lord’s instruction of keeping the Sabbath day holy.

5) Make Family a Priority Again-

Celebrating the Jewish feasts is an exciting way to bring your family together and prepare them for the challenges of life. Today’s culture is dividing and weakening our families. The average parent spends 10 minutes of quality time with their children each day. These feasting times are full of chances to create fun family memories. Families need to learn

how to become teams again and have fun doing it. Your family, not the public school system, is the springboard for your children to launch off into a successful lives.

6) Celebrate Much More With Great Food-

If anyone has something to celebrate about, it should be Christians. Can others see the celebration going on in your life? With all the negative stuff going on around us, more family parties are needed. And what’s a great party without delicious food? There are many delicious Jewish meals for you to enjoy.

7) What Would Jesus Do?

You’ve heard the powerful question in Church circles – What Would Jesus Do? You may have even worn a WWJD bracelet. Well, would Jesus celebrate the Jewish feasts? Just look at the Gospel accounts and you can see that He did. The better we are at imitating Jesus, the more successful and joyful we will be in life.

Our family has been celebrating the Jewish feasts for years now. It has been an exciting adventure for us. Come join us with our FREE mini-course on celebrating the Biblical feasts.  See you there.
