At the Cross, Jesus broke the power of sin. When He was resurrected, He destroyed the…

"Go...and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many, and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell are camps or strongholds, and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land." - Numbers 13:18-20…

"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." - John 7:38

Matthew 14:28-31 -- 28 Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “You of little faith, why did you…

By using parables, Jesus asked people to use their imagination to more deeply understand the Word of God. The story of the young lawyer and the Good Samaritan serves as a classic examples

Luke 10:25-37: - "And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” And he answered,…

The Lord challenges many in coming out of familiar places into new territory. It is part of the reality of coming into that "Promised Land"  (God’s purpose for your life) that so many are hoping and praying for as Believers in Christ.

It is up to US to take that step of faith out of our familiar comfort zones and into that which we have never encountered before. We also determine when and how we…

"So Jesus said to them again, 'Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.'" - John 20:21

Possessing what belongs to us requires change. Unless we choose to progressively walk beyond our own mindsets, we remain where we're at presently in life. Regardless of our position in society, mindsets are often the greatest key to…

 We have an enemy who wants open access to our lives...and we have angelic hosts to guide, guard, and protect us here on the earth (Psalm 91:11, Psalm 34:7). As we become more aware of both, while living in this day and time, living a lifestyle of victory becomes our daily norm.

Only with God-given discernment can we tell apart the good and evil influences that surround us. We often come up against "demonic influences". This influence is a spiritual force that twists and taints and pollutes God's ways. It is like a spider web, and people get stuck -- writhing in their captivity, they act out of a "web mentality".

Religious spirits endeavor to interfere with the free flow of the Holy Spirit…

I put my hope in the Lord and enjoy my inheritance in Christ Jesus. (Psalm 37:9)

As I embrace God's purpose for my life, he makes certain of my steps. (Psalm 37:23)…

The cave of Adullam is where David hid with his band of distressed, indebted, and discontented men (1 Samuel 22).  From these 400 came David's mighty army. After David was anointed King, the Philistines came against him and he went into the "hold" (2 Sam. 5:17), which 1 Chronicles 11:15 indicates was the cave of Adullam. David sought the Lord and had victory. The Philistines regathered and David once again…

Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the…

Jesus not only redeemed us from sin, He also redeemed us from sickness.  So it is God's will to heal you.  Never doubt it, because healing is in His redemptive plan.

The Bible says that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established (Matthew 18:16).  The following texts from Isaiah, Matthew, and First Peter all agree that Jesus…

The worst "drug" many Christians are taking today is the drug of the wrong narrative. This wrong narrative…

FAITH IS SPELLED -- R-I-S-K

Playing it safe isn't faith. There is this tendency to have everything predictable and under control, but it results in a quite boring life with…
