Mind Games!


Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on thee,
because he trusteth in thee.
(Is. 26:3)

Ever heard of ‘mind games’? It is a treacherous game where the victims struggle and strategize to become the winner. When confronted…the players of the game battle for supreme dominance over their opponents. The object of the game is to stay on top. In desperation, each player struggles to “stay afloat”…similar to someone being rescued who can’t swim. They would push down and attempt to drown their rescuers  to save their own lives. Just like a drowning swimmer…people who play mind games are really not in control (II Tim. 3:13)!

Mind games can be one of the longest games ever played. There are no rules or boundaries! Sometimes the players are subtle and at other times mind games can be fierce and highly competitive. The games are cruel and really, in the end, nobody wins!

According to the Bible, Christians are to stay far from playing mind games (Gal. 5:15). If you choose to play you can easily become a pawn to the master strategist himself! It’s really his game — his turf. He plays it so well and would teach anyone who’s interested how to play to their own detriment! Don’t play mind games!

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix
your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and
pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that
are excellent and worthy of praise.

(Philippians 4:8 NLT)

Researching Our Pentecostal Apostolic History


Finding out where we have come from as Apostolics (outside of the bible) is not an easy task.

Have you ever wanted to know more about the history of Pentecostal revivals, former organizations, pioneers of Pentecost, materials and writings of founding fathers, and other questions about our past? Do you know why we are not only Pentecostal, but are Apostolic, as well?

There is a website that has answers and resources to many questions about who we are and where we have come from.

Check it out at http://www.apostolicarchives.com

(As with any source, we suggest you research and check with other
sources to verify the accuracy of the information on any website.)
