Satan tries to make everybody feel insecure. That’s how he tempts you to put on a show and boss everyone around, or controlling through fear or intimidation. If you are not the instigator, you are the receiver, and may retreat in fear and isolation. Insecurity is lack of trust in God. Everything we do and every situation we face in life is a test of whether we will trust in God and His Words, or trust in what we can…..
There are so many voices screaming for our attention, such as news, bosses, traffic, radios, phones, billboards, newspapers, relationships, children, etc. How do we single out the ONE VOICE we really need to hear? You listen with your heart. The many voices are seeking to influence in one way or another in your head. They use your eyes, ears, and emotions to try to sway you to their way of thinking. The ONE VOICE speaks softly in your waking hours…..
What did Jesus do that made Him different? How do we know He is the Son of God, and the Christ: the Anointed One? He gave us record of these proofs through the writings of His disciples in the Gospels. “But these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you might have life through His name” (John 20:31, NKJV). Jesus not only came and destroyed the works of the…..
Pride is the number one thing that is a stink in God’s nostrils. How can we think we are really something when everything we are and everything we see was made by Him? As He sits on His Throne above the heavens, He sees everything that we are doing, and if He decided to, He could crush us like bugs. Most people are so spiritually dead that they rarely think about God, but just about their own little lives, and…..
Because I do not get naturally thirsty unless very hot in the summer, I don’t drink enough. I can go from morning coffee to late evening, and realize I haven’t had anything to drink. This causes a lot of problems: brain fog, achiness, constipation, and low energy. So it is in the spirit-realm. If you don’t drink of the water of the Word of God combined with prayer, you will get confused about reality, lose your sense of right and…..
People who are filled with the Holy Spirit are “spiked.” When you spike some punch, you are adding something to it that will cause inebriation. We are inebriated or intoxicated with the LORD. We are “hooked,” “LORDaholics,” who do not want to stop drinking of His Presence and His Love. We just cannot get enough of this Goood thing! We are empowered, not forsaken, loved beyond measure, healed, sealed, and eternally-minded. He enables us to walk through the valley of…..
Sometimes you just have to get your eraser out and erase memories, thoughts, and emotions that will get you nowhere. You can think and reason in circles for years, and get more confused and angry about things that other people have done without coming to any conclusions. Why not simply forgive. Take the big whiteboard in your mind and pick up the eraser and erase the whole thing. Then wash it until it sparkles. You have cleansed your mind. Now,…..
Matthew 6:25 is a powerful verse for the days we live in. Jesus gives us a key to living in His Presence and staying at peace in the middle of chaos. He said: “Take no thought for your life; what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment”….. Then Jesus continues in verse 33: “but seek ye first…..
Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days. He was shown things by satan to try to get him off track and to forsake the calling he had to redeem the world away from satan’s hands. Jesus didn’t fail his Father or us. He taught about the Kingdom of God, healed the sick, and raised the dead. He provided food for huge crowds out of a few fishes and some bread, made water into wine, and raised dead people. He…..
If you want things to change, change your words. Start speaking positive things, instead of concentrating on the negative which is readily available all around you. Whose words can you trust? Do you believe in Jesus? Then simply believe His Words in the Bible. Jesus said an amazing thing in Mark 11:23 & 24. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not…..
