In Ephesians 5 Paul is speaking about redeeming the time. We need to come to understand our Christ identity in order to experience the true freedom that is ours in Christ.

Ephesians 5:8-11 says, "You were once darkness but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light... Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. All things are exposed, therefore,…

 We are being presented "suddenly" moments, for such a time as this, to step into a BREAKTHROUGH that is bigger than our hope can comprehend.  These might be moments that look like immense risk or require vulnerability, but we have to seize that incoming wave at the opportune time with fresh courage.

 …

As we confidently pray according to the promises in the Bible, we can expect all the promises of the Lord to be yes and amen in Christ!  There are literally thousands of Scripture promises in the Bible that can be applied to our lives.

As the psalmist wrote:  "For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast"(Psalm…

"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.

 "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…

 "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,…

 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…

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.

POINTING TO HIS…

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…

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 boldness for breakthrough to…

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 God that he could not be used by God because he could not…

"Where there is no vision, the people perish; but happy is he who keeps the teaching" (Proverbs 29:18).

God is looking for those with a Habakkuk spirit who will not only see and hear, but record and proclaim – and keep proclaiming until they come to understand God’s next move for them in their Christ calling.

Once, when Habakkuk stood on the wall,…

Grab hold of the strength of the Word of victory that is power to us. Anchor it in your mind, in your heart, and in your thoughts!

“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord!”  - 1 Corinthians 15:57,…

 2 Samuel 5:20, "So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, "The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water."

David is speaking about his experience with the Lord's breakthrough. He describes it like an outburst of waters that is like a flood breaking down the wall of resistance coming from the enemies of God. We always need…

"I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, my great army which I sent among you" (Joel 2:25).

Since we serve a God of restoration, we might ask the question: "What can God restore?" The answer is that God can restore everything that has been lost; nothing is impossible with Him (see Luke…

"The armies of Heaven were following Him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean." - Revelation 19:14.

The Lord in this hour is about to send His fire upon the Church. Those that are not ready may not be prepared for this fire, but it is going to consume the darkness from their lives. They are going to be touched in the core of their beings and they will rise as…

 There is a paralyzing passivity so prevalent in the Church today.  As prophetic voices, we must sound the alarm: these are not days of peace! We have no armistice with the workers of darkness!  We must stir ourselves out of this stupor, as Scripture instructs us to do. We must rouse to reality and awaken (see Romans 13:11-14 AMP).

 …

 We break out of the mold of past insecurities (our house built upon the sand), and an entering into the security of being seated with Jesus in His Throne, at the right hand of all power and authority (our house built upon a rock). Here He lifts us from our place of discouragement and vacillation into an overcoming victory in His presence. Get ready for God to move you out of the confines and limitations of what you have…

"Seek God, all you quietly disciplined people who live by God's justice. Seek God's right ways..." (Zeph. 2:3, MSG)

Justice has always been on God's mind.  A lifestyle of Biblical justice could be simply defined as living in accordance with God's standards and ways. When we live His "right ways," our hearts are opened to be stirred with intercession for His justice to come to pass for…

 Once God moves you to a new place, the old paths and ways simply don't work anymore! If you continue to try to go the same way as you always have, you will stub your toe! You will run into walls and possibly even dead ends.

God is saying today that He has moved you to a new place! You no longer reside where you used to in the spirit…
