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.

"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

The ministry of the Christian is the ministry of the Spirit. Other men have intellectuality, but the Christian is supposed to be the possessor of the…

"There were many bones in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And the Lord said unto me, 'prophesy upon these bones and say unto them, Behold I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.'" - Ezekiel 37: 2,4,5

Look at those things over which you have lost your vision. Ask Him to bring resurrection…

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 harmless, 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 one who…

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…

When the Lord Jesus was on the cross, He had the authority to come down if He so wished. By the same token, those who are crucified with the Lord can let their old man come down from the cross if they so choose.

The best warfare to engage in against the devil is to magnify the Lord Jesus in your life. The Bible declares, "Let God arise, let his enemies be…

One of the unique things about the Church of the New Covenant is that God has authorized and commanded every believer to do the work of the ministry! God wants an entire army of workers out doing the vital work of DISCIPLESHIP of the saints and building up His Body, the Church.

"Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord." - 2…

Are you tired of shallow-water Christianity, and you want the deep things of God  --  the strong food that is mentioned in scripture? Are you ready for the deep, deep things of God?

It is so clear that we are not going to attain to those deep things, nor those deep places within us, by reasoning or by surface prayer.…

The apostle Paul lived in the green-light district of the Gospel. He didn't need signs in the heavens to convince Him to obey the Scriptures. When Jesus said, "Go!" that was enough.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them....." -…

The deadness and feebleness of the saints today is largely due to their receiving and following the truth with their minds. This is nothing but the law. In spite of the exactness of the letter, it is absolutely not of the Holy Spirit.

Our understanding deals with conceptions and images of divine things, but it cannot reach the real life of the inner spirit. He fills only…

Each of us has a cup to drink en route to our DESTINY.  We will swallow the full dregs, and though it kills us, we shall live.  Yet it shall not be us, but Christ living in us.

God takes things to another level as we press through into a new place in Him.  Transitions are healthy and good for us.  When we allow ourselves to be stretched into a new place, we will experience fresh joys on the other…

We fail to reach into God enough.  As Christians, we need to spend more time listening to God than anything else. When we do hear the Lord, creative power and life flow through His words.

Determine in your heart that you want to reach the highest place in God -- learning how to live each day in pure, loving oneness with…

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.

Much of the favor of God that you experience is tied to whether or not you are living your life pursuing that purpose.

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

Our work is not to make the gospel relevant to the world.  To change the world, we must be different from the world. We must challenge what people think.

"Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh... if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." -- 2 Corinthians 5:16-17…

"Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges...you will rejoice in the Lord, You will glory in the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 41:15,16

Are we ready to dive into the bottomless treasure chest of God for our lives?  When we awake spiritually hungry, the Lord is up to something in our life because He initiates the spiritual hunger.…

Ephesians 1:4 "For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight."

It is essential that every Believer comprehends that they have been chosen by God (through their receiving Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior) and also that they have been chosen for a divinely inspired…

 "For this reason, I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in Heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and…

John 14:12 - "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father."

The miracles of Jesus were a demonstration of how the authority of the Kingdom of Heaven has dominion over any condition on the earth. To the…

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?

FREEDOM IN OUR SPIRIT…

"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,…
