 When we made Jesus the Lord of our life, we were reborn from death to life. First John 5:1 says, "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." Being born of God entitles us to citizenship in the kingdom of God. In Luke 12:32, Jesus said, "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. "  We don't…

One of the things that the Lord wants to begin to manifest through the church is a people who are living by KNOWING God, who aren't bouncing off every wall but are co-laboring with the Holy Spirit, developing vision, and forging ahead in pursuit of their calling in Christ.

He wants to DEMONSTRATE MIGHTY ACTS through our lives so we will be bearing fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom through our Christ…

Philippians 1:28  -  "Don't be afraid of your enemies;  always be courageous, and this will prove to them that they will lose, and that you will win because it is God who gives you the victory."

Peace is spirit power. Your peace, your immovable stand upon the Word of God, is a sign that you are positioned correctly in perfect submission to the…

 "And Goliath cursed David by his gods.  The Philistine also said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field." - 1 Samuel 17:43,44

Goliath first used fiery darts against David (his words of negativity), believing that the…

A move of God by definition involves God moving. Which means we may not "find" Him exactly where (or how) we have in the past – because He is doing a new thing.  He is not changing, God never changes (Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8). But He loves to reveal more of Himself to us in greater and greater depths and dimensions so that we can know more of Him (and thus make more of Him known to the world around us).…

 "Because he has a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring him into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it"  - Numbers 14:24.

Caleb refused to bow to fear and intimidation. He believed God's calling on his life to lead Israel into the Promised Land. God said of Caleb:

We are called to have a different…

"...Since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the Blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us..." -  Hebrews 10:19-20

Jesus, our chief Apostle, broke through and opened a new and living way.  In order to truly be effective in the Great Commission, as a forerunner must do the same in our efforts…

Matthew 9:37,38  -  "Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.  Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

The Greek word translated "send out" is "ekballo", which at the root level means to "drive out."  "Ballo" is where we derive the English word for "ballistic."  There is force and sense of urgency, a…

When Jesus declared on the Cross, "It is finished," He decreed to the earth and the world of darkness that they had lost. When Jesus arose from the grave, He fulfilled the legal requirements of the law and broke the curse of sin off the earth! Jesus secured everything for the Believer from the Cross of Calvary and the Resurrection from the grave, and satan knows he is powerless to stop God's Kingdom plan.…

Acts 19:10

Paul taught 12 new disciples for 2 years in the lecture hall of Tyrannus and we are told that both Hebrews and the Greeks throughout the province of Asia heard the Word of the Lord.

For 24 long months, the apostle Paul labored tirelessly to bring the Word of the Lord to the believers he was discipling in preparation to minister…

The very first miracle of Jesus turning water into wine in John 2 provides some clues as to how we might access the reality of what we have read and studied in His Word.

There was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus was there and a need arose. Jesus was asked, and He responded by turning the water into wine. He thus openly revealed His glory for the first time in public. This miracle opened the flow for others,…

The tendency to embrace the concept of God being an angry Father is done in equal proportion to a person's inability to demonstrate His power. There is a connection between our belief system and what actually flows through us. If we don't see Jesus' life as the ultimate illustration of the will of God, we will continually undermine our ability to display it.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;  he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,  to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." - Luke 4:18

 "....if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you." - Romans 8:11

"For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; …

There is only one thing that is going to accomplish the purposes of God, and that is understanding your Christ identity and walking in the Spirit. 

God wants men and women who are willing to submit and submit and yield and yield to the Holy Spirit until their bodies are saturated and soaked with God -- you then realize that God your Father has you in such a condition that at any moment He can reveal His will to…

Today we set our hearts and focus on the presence of the Lord and His NOW word that brings divine impartation that will enable us to flourish into a season of great fruitfulness for the glory of the Lord as we advance in His calling on our life. 

John 15:8 - "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples."…

In Joshua's day, before crossing the Jordan River and moving into their inheritance, God said to the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you" (Joshua 3:5).

This is an exhortation for us today!

DRAW NEAR TO GOD…

Christ Jesus warns us that a time is coming when many will fall prey to fear and panic because of the things they see coming upon the earth. (see Luke 21:25-28)

True tranquility of soul, genuine godly peace, is only found in the person of Christ, not in…

Jeremiah 29:11-13 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."

Knowing that we are to seek first His Kingdom we come to understand our Christ identity…
