God is looking for those with a Habakkuk spirit who will not only see and hear, but record and proclaim – and keep proclaiming until the people's ears and eyes open to what the Lord is saying and doing.

Once, when Habakkuk stood on the wall, He heard the Lord say this:

"Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who reads it may run. For the vision is yet for an…

We often assume that meekness and humility are the same, when really they are two different things entirely.

Numbers 12:3 talk about how Moses was the most humble man who had walked the earth in his time. Usually when we think of Moses' humility we think of Exodus 4:10, when Moses said to…

The key to unlocking the fulfillment of God's promises in your life is learning to decree God's will!  While it seems simple, decrees of the Lord give voice to and establish His will. These Godly decrees are like arrows of accuracy that break through every obstacle you face. By understanding the power of His word, His purpose for you, and your authority as a king and priest, you will be able to Decree His will, with…

"And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, 'Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.' And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God." - Luke 13:11-13

In verse 14, we are told the ruler…

God is a GOOD FATHER who is perfecting and completing all that concerns His children that they would stand in secure places of strength in the season ahead.

"In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul...Though I walk in the midst of trouble, YOU WILL REVIVE ME; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of…

Abraham wasn't found righteous until he BELIEVED...

It wasn't his adherence to the law or the Word, nor was it his daily prayer life or faithfulness that caused the grace of God to shine upon Abraham's life. It may have been prayer or faithfulness that got God's attention, but neither of these did anything in the way of making him worthy of a relationship with God, nor did they…

Some say, 'The River is flowing. Just step in.' But we need to say, 'Just step in, and the river will flow.'

Some are passively waiting to see what God will do, while He is waiting for us to exercise faith to see Him move with power. Mark said it well:

"And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept…

"Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee...." - 1 Timothy 4:14

For too long, Christians have been motivated by guilt, instead of responding to the unction of the Holy Spirit. As each of us yields to what God has CALLED us to be, then God will bring each part of our lives to fulfillment.…

These are days of DESTINY, filled with wonder and excitement. The awe of God is returning to the people of God, filling the heart of God's people with great expectation.

Something new and revolutionary is at the door—but the question is not what is at the door, but Who.

A cry for the manifest Presence of God is about to be answered…

"....we have been born again to an ever-living hope...into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay....who are being guarded by God's power through faith...so that the genuineness of your faith may be TESTED." - 1 Peter 1:3-5,7 (Amp)

After Jesus was baptized, the heavens opened and the Father spoke, "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew…

"For she said within herself, 'If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.'" (Matthew 9:21)

To touch God, we are to be properly positioned to endure the "press." The woman with the issue of blood pressed past the multitudes to "touch Jesus." As a result, she was made whole. This woman was…

The Kingdom of God is not a matter of mere words but of an empowered life, and God is calling forth a company of overcomers. These overcomers will go into the world and testify to the goodness of God, attracting non-believers to Christ like moths to a flame.

IT IS TIME TO ARISE AND SHINE…

"Prepare for battle! Soldiers at attention! Present arms! Advance! Turn your shovels into swords; turn your hoes into spears. Let the weak one throw out his chest and say, 'I'm tough, I'm a fighter.'" Joel 3:9-10 (The Message)

The call to arms to pray has never changed since the prophet Joel wrote these words. Today, with all the turmoil in the world and in our lives, we should consider a…

Jesus came so that His Blood may cover our sins. His grace and mercy overflow to us so that we may be all that He has created us to be. He is determined to help us find our DESTINY into His perfect plan for us. His grace has made it possible for us to see our destines fulfilled.

"And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word…

"Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us...and put his Spirit in our hearts..." - 2 Corinthians 1:21,22

"That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man.....that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." - Ephesians 3:16,19…

God wants to bring us to a place to receive His power, power to overcome -- overcome sickness and financial difficulties, to heal marriages and the broken hearted, those who have been wounded by others and have lived in anger for so long and to bring about forgiveness in the body of Christ. God has positioned the church to be the light of the world and we will not be wounded soldiers but victorious warriors.…

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

Having faith means that we do not require proof prior to our actions. And as we stand in faith on the word of God, declaring it without doubt, we can expect evidence to be produced because of our faith (see Hebrews 11:3). It is pleasing to God that we go to Him believing that He…

"You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing...And, He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him." - Psalm 145:16, 19 NKJV.

You can trust the Lord God.

LAUNCH INTO THE DEEP

In Luke 5, we read the story of…

"And these signs shall follow them that believe;.....they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover." - Mark 16:17,18

One of the ways the enemy tries to ravage and destroy the Body of Christ is through sicknesses and infirmities. Behind these attacks is a strategic plan of the enemy to stop…
