Philippians 4:12,13 - 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

What God is doing now is so beautiful, it is so glorious and His timing is perfect. Rest in Him,…

No matter how good our intentions may be today, in a short time, we will become tired, discouraged, and…

We see that the engine of the Gospel message that drives it into the world--is His presence and glory. It is not a tantalizing self-induced experience that produces no fruit, but rather an illuminating light which leads the world to Jesus and becomes the pillar of fire that leads His Church into the world. Yet often in contemporary circles, we see the opposite in effect. We want to privatize His glory and keep it shrouded in personal experience, assuming the…

Hebrews 3:6 - "Whose house we are, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope firm unto the end."

Song of Solomon 2:9 - "Behold, He is standing behind our wall, He is looking through the windows, He is peering through the lattice."

Yes, Christ dwells within us, but He is standing behind our "walls." The walls between us and the Savior are primarily the work of :

1. Unrenewed Minds

2. Hardened…

Getting in touch with God's PURPOSE for our life can have the single most powerful impact on our own life after coming to Jesus and being born again. All Christians are called to be witnesses, but we also have a CALLING in Christ that is more specific than that.

The main factors that will lead to a revelation of our earthly DESTINY and being prepared for it are the following:…

Zephaniah 3:17 - "The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in His love, He will joy over thee with singing."

As sons and daughters of the King, we have been given authority to pray Heaven's blessings to earth.

It is God's desire to bless us and for us to witness and "see" His promises manifest.
