The Scriptures tell us that the Spirit of Truth is promised as our heritage to guide us into all truth and to show us things to come.

"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it…

If we limit God by what we see in the natural, we can easily become double-minded concerning our future and God's promises. James 1:8 speaks about those who are double-minded as being "uncertain" (unstable) in all their ways. When we are unstable and not completely focused on God's Word, we can fall or stumble along the way. With today's challenges, we must have supernatural vision to remain in a position of faith and…

Consider the ROCK from which you were cut, the quarry from which you were mined. -  Isaiah 51:1-2,

Our adversary has been busy in an effort to distract us and dull our memory of who we are and Whose we are, where we've come from and where we're going. Religious spirits are experts at getting us to fear things we do not understand, compare ourselves to others, and compete with one…

When we have an established place of intimacy with God we then have the great responsibility and privilege to join Jesus where He ever lives to intercede in the heavens, bringing the reality of Heaven to earth. (Hebrews 7:25)

THE HIGHEST PLACE…

God's glory is what we are ultimately wanting to break into. We should want greater glory in our lives and IN OUR MINISTRY TO OTHERS; a glory that is carried out into the world. We are to live from glory to glory through our Christ calling. It is an ever-increasing glory.

"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are…

Some people think their calling is to sit in church and support someone else's vision.

While it's good to do all you can to encourage someone and support them – each of us has our own CALLING in Christ Jesus. And at the end of the road, Jesus is going to ask you, "What did you do with the anointing I put in your life?"

To walk in overcoming victory we need a spiritual "brainwashing" to repent of "ungodly thinking." Our minds need to be thoroughly cleansed of the lies and filth of the world so we can put on the mind of Christ, learning to think as He thinks and to see as He sees. A cleansed and renewed mind will completely change our perception of life and the world around us.

The Spirit of God is calling each of us to a higher…

 "For he (Simon) was awestruck by the size of their catch...Jesus replied, "Don't be afraid!  From now on you'll be fishing for the souls of men!"  And as soon as they landed, they left everything and went with Him." - Luke 5:9-11

In one day, they abandoned their way of life and everything familiar to them to pursue Him and the DESTINY for which they were…

 "Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of Thy waterspouts: all Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me." -  Psalm 42:7

"Deep calls." Our Lord is a seeking God who desires a satisfaction that can be found only in us – our worship and our times of fellowship with Him. We were created for this purpose, which became marred by our association with the…

In this season, God is giving out new "out of the box" ways of doing things. Don't get set in "your" ways, but learn to embrace His ways. What does this really mean? It means not to think as the world thinks. Do not accept what the world calls normal. We need a fresh Gospel mentality that is willing to walk away from the things that hinder and hamper our CALLING IN CHRIST.

Many people are crossing spiritual frontiers. People are leaving old seasons of life and entering new ones.

One of the most profound crossings ever made was when the nation of Israel walked across the dry riverbed of the Jordan River under the leadership of Joshua. More than one million people camped at the water's edge waiting for the word of the Lord to part the water. First,…

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the Church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever." - Ephesians 3:20-21

Our very best days are right before us, not behind us!

Consider the Message Bible's version of this…

Matthew 6:22 :  "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."

MIRRORS OF THE SOUL

The eyes are the literal mirrors of a person's soul and reveals much about a person's deep inner man.

In that deep…

 "My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips. When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. Because You have been my help, therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice." Psalm 63:5-

In this classic Psalm, David teaches us a method to calm the screaming soul and…

"And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on them that were diseased." John 6:2

When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy…

God has already "granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness" so that "you may become partakers of the divine nature" (2 Peter 1:3-4).

The Bible says that we "grow up into salvation" in the same way we should grow to be responsible adults (1 Peter 2:2). Therefore, our experience of the FULLNESS of all that is available in…

NOW is the Time to Awaken!

We are being called in these turbulent times to contend for change and take an unshakable stand that transforms our culture. It is time for a spiritual revolution.

WALK OUT OF PASSIVITY AND LUKEWARMNESS

There is a  paralyzing passivity so prevalent in the Church…

"..therefore be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus." - 2 Timothy 2:1

God's grace is undeserved, this means that God's goodness is not expressed to each of us because we are good; it is given to us because He is good! Sometimes it's hard to even wrap our minds around this fact. This is because most of us have, in reality, believed that…

"Truly, truly, I say to you , he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." - John 14:12-13

God did not create you to be a casual observer of history while you live here on earth. There is…
