Zephaniah 3:17 - "The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in His love, He will joy over thee with singing."

Why is it right to sing, shout, dance and leap? Acts of celebration get repeated mention in the psalmist's descriptions of how we approach God. The reason -- God is a God to celebrate. He rejoices over us with…

Psalm 18:28-29 says, “For You will light my lamp; the Lord My God will enlighten my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop; by my God I can leap over a wall.”

Not only will you leap over a wall, but you will receive supernatural strength, leap over every obstacle, and position yourself to go through the opening door that God has for you. Fear not the enemies on the other side of this…

As sons and daughters of the King, we have been given authority to pray Heaven's blessings to earth.

It is God's desire to bless us and for us to witness and "see" His promises manifest.

Just as Jeremiah was given the ability to "see" his new season (see Jeremiah 1:4-12), we are present-day Jeremiahs – having our eyes opened to understand and know all that…

Exodus 14:11,12 - "They said to Moses, 'Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt...It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!'"

There was something comforting about the past that the Israelites preferred at this point to the unknown dilemma of future…

Poor Devil in my world!

Poor Devil in your world! WHY is Satan SO poor? He only flaunts his ideas of destruction; but, everything that he does is lie to people.

I see HOW he operates; and, it is hard for a person to see the evil in Satan; unless they are walking with the Holy Ghost and keeping Christ’s commandments.

Satan’s ways indeed appear beautiful and sensible; but, the cost to the human soul of following him leads to the same destruction that he himself will face…

Ephesians 5:14-18 - "Wake up from your sleep, and arise from the dead, And Christ shall shine upon you. Live life with a due sense of responsibility, not as men who do not know the meaning of life but as those who do. Make the best use of your time, despite all the evils of these days. Don't be vague but grasp firmly what you know to be the will of the Lord."

As believers, we are instructed…

Jeremiah 29:11-14 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord. thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."

John 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow…

1 Samuel 3:1 -- "In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions."

If Eli could not hear from God, the people would not receive messages from Him.

The only words that we receive that are of help to people are words from God. If we don't spend time LISTENING to Him, then we will not receive words by which we will bless and…

Ephesians 6:12 -- "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."

The reality is that we're in battle. We're being prevailed against. Some of us are "losing" in the fight against sin and sickness, disease and death. Some of us are…

1 Peter 2:9 -- "For you have been chosen by God Himself -- you are priests of the King, you are holy and pure, you are God's very own -- all this so that you may show to others how God called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light."

We know we are a priesthood, chosen by God, possessed by God, holy like God and royal to God. We have immediate access to Him and we don't need a human…
