Times of difficulty give us an occasion we don't have otherwise, and that…

 Matthew 5:13,14,16 -- "You are the salt of the earth......You are the light of the world.  A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

"You can be sure that the more we undergo sufferings for Christ, the more He will shower us with His comfort and encouragement." - 2 Corinthians 1:5

These sufferings are not sickness and poverty as some religious teaching suggest. These afflictions are described as the "fellowship of sufferings" that the believer will encounter for doing the will of God, or…

 "We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." - 1 John 2:1

 When the Holy Spirit shows us an area that needs repentance, we must overcome the instinct to defend ourselves. We must silence the little lawyer who steps out from a dark closet in our minds, pleading. "My client is not so…

Oh, how the Lord longs for His church to receive a revelation of His ravished heart - utterly overwhelmed with delight for us - even though we may not like or believe in ourselves. (Psalm 45:11)

The Scriptures entreat us to go from glory to glory -- allowing us always to sustain the glory released in us so we can proceed further to the greater realms of glory He desires to display in…

As God's people we learn to live on the basis of walking our Christ identity and hearing God's voice and obeying His word.

"The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works." - John 14:10

Once when we are in harmony with our Christ calling the Holy…

What happens in meditation is that we create the emotional and spiritual space that allows Christ to construct an inner sanctuary in the heart.

WE ALWAYS HAVE RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD

Let us always do what we do for God to show our oneness with Him, and never to…

Jesus said, in effect, 'I am the temple of the new dispensation. I am going to take the place of this old temple and I am going to be ALL that that temple represented, but in a…

The Holy Spirit is WITHIN us for our benefit, and UPON us to help others. (John 20:19-22, Acts 2:1-4)

 God doesn't call us to earn money, but to change lives (disciple others). If we will remain concerned about lives and doing the will of God, He will take care of the finances.

We are the lamp that dispenses…

"Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.  What are you O great mountain...you shall become a plain......amid shouts of 'Grace, grace to it." - Zechariah 4:6,7

 "Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you...." - 2 Timothy 1:6

Every believer holds a position of authority that comes with God-given talents or gifts and is hidden in Christ Jesus, above all demonic authority. So why are so many of us…

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1

Faith is stronger than belief. To believe is to give intellectual assent; to have faith is to be inseparable from the object of your devotion. Belief can be changed or lost by a more persuasive argument. True faith is so much a part of the person it can only be taken by…

You know there are things you are doing now that are temporary. You are doing them only until you find the thing God wants you to do, the real work you were meant to do. When the fire reaches your core, you will trash all the vestiges of mundane, tiresome, powerless living.

Our best days are yet to come! God sent us to do a job and we're going to reap because He is the…

When Jesus said, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17), it was not a message of judgment and condemnation – "Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand" offers A NEW WAY OF THINKING and being so that righteousness ( the ability to stand in the presence of Father God without the sense of guilt, inferiority or condemnation – since all our sins are forgiven (Romans 8:1,2) can no…

Since the moment we first came to Christ, there has been an updraft of the Holy Spirit, a constant drawing from God lifting us upward toward the fullness of His Presence and heavenly vision.  Let's surrender to this wind of God and allow Him to carry us into our holy future (our DESTINY).

The disciples did not just pray and sit around waiting for God to enter the…

The Lord says He is called 'The Rose of Sharon'. For He wants His fragrance to be upon all His people.  You are complete in…

If you are willing He takes you to a place to reposition you – to open your mind and open your eyes and open your ears and open your understanding; to take you out of the land of snare, and traps. He fills the graves of broken dreams, broken promises, broken relationships -- those who have been violated in their mind, their bodies, and their spirit; to where they have felt shame, humiliation; to where they have had the pain of others for their grave…
