Jesus came to earth knowing the sole purpose of the Father for His life. Every born-again believer has a purpose (calling) destined by God that is connected to advancing His Kingdom in the earth.

If we never come to the place of realizing that why we are…

Psalm 145:4b, "and shall declare Your mighty acts."

It says in 2 Chronicles 16:9 that He looks to and fro to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are loyal towards Him. What would it look like for God to show Himself strong on your behalf? Wouldn't you like to find out?

Numbers 2:9 -- "All that were numbered in the camp of Judah were.......These shall FIRST set forth."

 Matthew 6:10 - "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

What world is more real to us?

Is it this present world or the eternal?

We live out of the kingdom we think most about – what our heart and mind are anchored in.…

"He who believes in Me the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father" (John 14:12).

Are we walking with an earnest expectation of the miraculous?  Are we truly expecting to see the goodness of God manifested (birthed) on earth, or are we just hoping that it will be? Hope in God is good,…

Paul was not content to know he was going to inherit Heaven. He wanted to be a son of God and inherit the Kingdom on earth.

 In this…

1 Corinthians 2:16 - "For who has known or understood the mind( the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge?  But we have the mind of Christ, the Messiah, and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.

We don't rejoice for the battles, but we exalt in the victories that are already won in Christ.  It's in times of adversity that millions, great multitudes, will come to know Christ Jesus, as many as the sand which is on the seashore (Genesis 22:17-18).

The reason why Jesus had nowhere to lay His head was because of persecution.  The…

 The early Church did something that few do today or even know about—they ministered to the Lord.

Salvation is more than a legal exchange affecting our position before God.  Salvation also includes the exchange of deep loving affections and adoration. God first communicates His enjoyment, longing and affections for us and, in turn, we respond in a similar way.…
