Ephesians 3:16 in the Amplified reads, "May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His Glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the Holy Spirit {Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]"

Through understanding your Christ identity you can live in the God-ordained anointing that brings strength to strength as you move forward.…

It is essential to our spiritual health that we spend quality time in His presence, waiting upon Him. Only then, will we have the spiritual energy to face the challenges, testings, and problems of life.

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah…

Habakkuk 2:1-2: "I will stand on my guard post and station myself on the rampart; and I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me...Then the Lord answered me and said, 'Record the vision...'"

Ways to be sure what you're hearing is from Him:

 When we made Jesus the Lord of our life, we were reborn from death to life. First John 5:1 says, "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." Being born of God entitles us to citizenship in the kingdom of God. In Luke 12:32, Jesus said, "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. "  We don't…

One of the things that the Lord wants to begin to manifest through the church is a people who are living by KNOWING God, who aren't bouncing off every wall but are co-laboring with the Holy Spirit, developing vision, and forging ahead in pursuit of their calling in Christ.

He wants to DEMONSTRATE MIGHTY ACTS through our lives so we will be bearing fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom through our Christ…

Philippians 1:28  -  "Don't be afraid of your enemies;  always be courageous, and this will prove to them that they will lose, and that you will win because it is God who gives you the victory."

Peace is spirit power. Your peace, your immovable stand upon the Word of God, is a sign that you are positioned correctly in perfect submission to the…

 "And Goliath cursed David by his gods.  The Philistine also said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field." - 1 Samuel 17:43,44

Goliath first used fiery darts against David (his words of negativity), believing that the…

A move of God by definition involves God moving. Which means we may not "find" Him exactly where (or how) we have in the past – because He is doing a new thing.  He is not changing, God never changes (Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8). But He loves to reveal more of Himself to us in greater and greater depths and dimensions so that we can know more of Him (and thus make more of Him known to the world around us).…

 "Because he has a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring him into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it"  - Numbers 14:24.

Caleb refused to bow to fear and intimidation. He believed God's calling on his life to lead Israel into the Promised Land. God said of Caleb:

We are called to have a different…

"...Since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the Blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us..." -  Hebrews 10:19-20

Jesus, our chief Apostle, broke through and opened a new and living way.  In order to truly be effective in the Great Commission, as a forerunner must do the same in our efforts…

Matthew 9:37,38  -  "Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.  Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

The Greek word translated "send out" is "ekballo", which at the root level means to "drive out."  "Ballo" is where we derive the English word for "ballistic."  There is force and sense of urgency, a…

When Jesus declared on the Cross, "It is finished," He decreed to the earth and the world of darkness that they had lost. When Jesus arose from the grave, He fulfilled the legal requirements of the law and broke the curse of sin off the earth! Jesus secured everything for the Believer from the Cross of Calvary and the Resurrection from the grave, and satan knows he is powerless to stop God's Kingdom plan.…

Acts 19:10

Paul taught 12 new disciples for 2 years in the lecture hall of Tyrannus and we are told that both Hebrews and the Greeks throughout the province of Asia heard the Word of the Lord.

For 24 long months, the apostle Paul labored tirelessly to bring the Word of the Lord to the believers he was discipling in preparation to minister…

The very first miracle of Jesus turning water into wine in John 2 provides some clues as to how we might access the reality of what we have read and studied in His Word.

There was a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Jesus was there and a need arose. Jesus was asked, and He responded by turning the water into wine. He thus openly revealed His glory for the first time in public. This miracle opened the flow for others,…
