The equation for faith means you have to do some work. “Faith comes by hearing the Word of God” (Romans 10:17). If you need faith, hear, hear, and hear some more. This means reading your Bible until you hear God speak to you through His Word. It also means hearing the Word at church, and on YouTube, and in the music that you listen to, and in the friends that you hang out with. If you think that you won’t…..
On your worst day, you are still bigger than the devil. How can I say that? This truth comes by faith in God’s Words. If He says it, it has to be the Gospel Truth. Either you believe the Bible, or not. You choose. If you choose to believe just a little part here or there, then you might as well chuck the whole thing out! Really. How dare us to think that we can pick and choose what is…..
Jesus is so full of mercy, truth, and unending power! After a woman received a tremendous healing from just touching His robe with faith in her heart, He said “Daughter, be of good comfort, thy faith hath made thee whole, go in peace” (Luke 8:48, KJV). How do you receive a miracle, by faith? You can’t cry a miracle, beg a miracle, demand a miracle, or work hard enough for a miracle. You just have to receive a miracle from…..
We are living in a time and a season where it is imperative that we learn to trust God and hear his voice. There are many voices screaming for our attention, and many distractions to draw us away. It takes purposeful focus to keep our heart from the cares of the world which steal our peace. Jeremiah lived in such a time. Rebellion and wickedness were rampant, and when God gave him a word for the king, which he delivered,…..
Does great fear come on you when you think about death? Do you sometimes wake up with a hopeless, sinking feeling that all your life is in vain, that you really have no reason to live, but are simply traveling through a maze of trouble and heartache? Come to Jesus. Listen to what he said in John 11:25: “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever…..
The devil is out to steal your faith. God wants to steel your faith. The devil will try to sidetrack you, and make you think God is punishing you, trying you like Job, or doesn’t care about you. God loves you, but is a God who works by our FAITH! Every good thing that happens comes by faith. God spoke and believed, and the worlds were created by faith. Mary conceived the baby Jesus, by faith! (See Luke 1:45). All…..
What is the one thing we need in this world more than anything else? Wisdom! Solomon asked God for wisdom, and he got an overload. His problem was that when he was older, his pride took him down and he did not listen to some of the wisdom he had been given (I Kings 4:29-34). In James 1:5-8, we are told to ask for wisdom, but we have to mix it with faith in order for it to work. In…..
Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter =Instant gratification entertainment providers. I love things that happen fast, but when you seek God, you must sit and be quiet, and meditate. Rabbits run the race fast, but poop out before they get to the end, or they get side-tracked down a “rabbit trail,” and forget to finish the race. If you want to cross the finish line, you must slow down, and center-down on Jesus, Father, and Holy Spirit. Concentrate, focus, determine, as an…..
You can’t be lazy and expect to get things from God. Most of the time, there is a wait attached to our prayers. During that waiting time, we have to exercise patience as we wait for the answer to our prayer. The best things in life take time; time for God to work in others, time to rearrange things so that your answer can come, time for the angels to break through the demonic realm to bring the answer (Daniel…..
We often gloss-over the Pass-over story. It is one of the most powerful pictures of what Jesus’ Blood accomplished for us that we find in the Bible. What happened during the Pass-over? The death angel passed-over the Jewish believers, (anyone who would obey and believe, that splashing the blood of a perfect lamb over the doorposts of their home would protect them from what was coming). It worked! The firstborn of every family and animal in Egypt and Goshen died…..
