Revelation 1:11,12 - "Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band".

Here we see Jesus in the midst of the seven golden lamps.…

Luke 4:18,19 - "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me;

He has sent me to announce good news to the poor,

to proclaim release for prisioners and recovery of sight for the blind,

to let the broken victims go free,

to proclaim the year of the lords favor."…

2 Corinthians 11:3 -- "But I fear...your minds may be corrupted from the simplicitity that is in Christ."

The problem is that we mistakenly strive for information when in reality we need revelation.

Ephesians 1:17,18 -- "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being…

Ephesians 1:4 - He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love.

MAN IS CALLED TO REST IN GOD, BUT WE MUST ALSO LABOR WITH GOD. IN THIS LABOR, WE MUST FIND WHAT HE CREATED US TO DO.

We were foreknown and chosen by God before the world was even created. The God who is so particular and specific also…

This is from the Message Bible Romans 9:25-26 "I call nobodies and make them some bodies; I call the unloved and make them beloved. In the place where they yelled out, "your nobody!", they are calling you God’s living children."…

Draw Near

Intimacy with God begins when we radically pursue Him with our whole heart. King David wrote, "When You said, 'Seek My face,' my heart said to You, 'Your face, O Lord, I shall seek'" (Psalms 27:8). God invites us in James…

John 12:26 - "If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor."

Let us receive a fresh impartation of "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" and reach out and declare it with confidence.

We are on the threshold of moving into the glory realms through covenant relationship with Jesus.…

Communion with The Holy Spirit - Prayer

(2 Corinthians 13:14)

Dear Heavenly Father,

I dedicate and yield myself to the Holy Spirit with greater passion and dedication than ever before as my best friend. From today on I pray that I would experience more of the exciting reality of His presence in my life.

Dear…

Zechariah 12:1 - Thus says the Lord, Who stretches out the heavens and lays the foundation of the earth and forms the spirit of man within him.

GOD IS SPIRIT, AND ZECHARIAH 12 TELLS US THAT GOD FORMED THE SPIRIT OF MAN WITHIN HIM. THIS HUMAN SPIRIT IS WHAT MAKES RELATIONSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD POSSIBLE AT ALL.

THROUGH HIS SPIRIT, MAN CAN WALK IN STEP WITH GOD. IN THE SPIRIT HE IS ONE WITH…

Hebrews 10:12,14 -- But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God....For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.

God sees us with no flaw, spot or imperfection, so we honor His Word and the finished work of Jesus by saying "Amen!"

To see ourselves as being far from perfect is not modesty, but a failure to…

John 12:36 - While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light.

Jesus came as the light of the world. He then passed the baton to us announcing that we are the light of the world. Jesus came as the miracle worker.

He said that we would do "greater works" than He did (John 14:12).

He then says "right now the Holy Spirit is with…

The Church will begin to take on more of a "military mentality" in the coming times. We are called to be an army, and in many ways we will start to reflect this in a much more serious and focused demeanor in the leadership and the people. There is something about conflict that does focus our senses. We have been in a war against darkness of the most desperate kind for the whole history of the Church, but not all seem to understand this or live as they would if they…

Song of Solomon 2:14 - "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret place of the steep pathway, let me see your form, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your form is lovely.

Colossians 3:15 - And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from the Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts to which as members of Christs one body you were also called to live. And be thankful, giving praise to God…

Psalm 13:1 -- How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide your face from me?

Believers want to know God. God's wisdom is to let us 'taste' dryness that we might become desperate enough to seek for living water.

Many misinterpret the dryness and become so discouraged that they stop seeking God altogether and even stop attending church. But God…

1Peter 2:5 - Come and, like living stones, be yourselves built into a spiritual house, for a holy, dedicated, consecrated priesthood, to offer up those spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.

Colossians 1:27 - To whom God was pleased to make known how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you , the hope of glory.…

Matthew 27:32 - "Now as they came out, the found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross."



Certainly, Simon the Cyrenian's life was impacted and transformed as he literally "took up" the Cross of Christ and was "pressed…

2 Corinthians 5:6-8 - We realize that being "at home"in the body means that to some extent we are "away" from the Lord, for we have to live by trusting Him without seeing Him. We are so sure of this that we would really rather be "away" from the body and be "at home" with the Lord.

Questions to Ask Myself

Am I more comfortable walking by faith than by what I see?

Am I…

1. They had a death structure attached to their lives. God passed by them and saw them struggling in their blood. (Ezekiel 16:6-14) For us, God is saying that He is presently overshadowing us with His presence and desires to set us free from generational blood lines that are affecting our…

John 8:39 - They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you are Abraham's children, do the deeds of Abraham."

ABRAHAM WAS AN ALIEN AND STRANGER ON THE EARTH. THE GOAL OF HIS LIFE WAS TO HAVE A PLACE IN WHAT GOD WAS BUILDING, NOT MEN.

WE ARE NOT THE HEIRS OF FAITH BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE MUST LIVE BY FAITH, BUT WE BECOME THE HEIRS OF FAITH BY ACTUALLY HAVING FAITH, BY…

Mark 4:39 -- "Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace, be still!' And the wind ceased and there was a great calm."

John 14:12 -- "He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works that these he will do, because I go to My Father"

Jesus did not come to show us what God can do. He came to show us what one man can do who was wholly yielded to the…
