"Seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and Godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust."—2 Peter 1:3-4…

Abraham wasn't found righteous until he BELIEVED...

It wasn't his adherence to the law or the Word, nor was it his daily prayer life or faithfulness that caused the grace of God to shine upon Abraham's life. It may have been prayer or faithfulness that got God's attention, but neither of these did anything in the way of making him worthy of a relationship with God, nor…

 "Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee...." - 1 Timothy 4:14

For too long, Christians have been motivated by guilt, instead of responding to the unction of the Holy Spirit.  As each of us yields to what God has CALLED us to be, then God will bring each part to fulfillment.

"be thou a…

"For she said within herself, 'If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.'" (Matthew 9:21)



To touch God, we are to be properly positioned to endure the "press." The woman with the issue of blood pressed past the multitudes to "touch Jesus." As a result, she was made whole. This woman was desperate.  She suffered with an unclean condition and none of those who were considered…

Jesus came so that by covering our sins with His blood we would now, being free from guilt and condemnation, be available, through our Christ calling, to advance His Kingdom throughout the earth.

"And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their TESTIMONY." -  Revelation 12:11…

"Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow COLD" (Matthew 24:12). A major area of spiritual warfare that has come against the Church is the sphere of church relationships.

There is no such thing as love without COMMITMENT. The measure of one's love is found in the depth of his or her commitment to…

 "Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ.  He anointed us...and put his Spirit in our hearts..." - 2 Corinthians 1:21,22

"That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man....that…

We all need to stay in the House of the Lord. None of us lives unto ourselves alone. We must be together in battle, and continually encouraged, trained, and nurtured in the context of OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST IN God's House.

"It's me and Jesus" has never been God's plan. The Bible uses the word "TOGETHER" 484 times:

• "...let us exalt His name TOGETHER."…
  
  

 God wants to bring us to a place to receive His power, power to overcome -- overcome sickness and financial difficulties, to heal marriages and to ask, seek, and knock,(Matthew 7:7) until we come to understand and begin carrying out His purpose for our life. God has positioned the church to be the light of the world and we will not be wounded soldiers but victorious warriors.…

 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1

Having faith means that we do not require proof prior to our actions. And as we stand in faith on the word of God, declaring it without doubt, we can expect evidence to be produced because of…

Colossians 3:2: -"Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth."



God creates a new category in our thinking. It is called "Heavenly things." Then He slides new files into that folder. He gives us pictures of His heart, pictures of our DESTINY in Him, and pictures of His love, and shows us how His love flows from Him, through our heart, then…

God is calling us into a new season. He is calling us into a new day. He is asking us to begin to understand the power we carry in Jesus' name. We need to understand the power of His Spirit that longs to pour through us.  As we tarry in His Spirit, we carry it out to a broken world. We don't look to the “anointed and the appointed” but look to the Author and the Finisher of your faith.

He has called…

"God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts. - Galatians 4:6

We can't let "COASTING" be our default setting in our life with God.

 CRUISING (definition: to travel at a speed providing maximum operating efficiency for a sustained period) fits the advancing…

We serve a mighty God!  We can boldly declare with the apostle Paul, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek" (Romans 1:16).  We can be absolutely sure that the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is the power of God to salvation for every single person who believes. The gospel of Christ is the power of God!…

Jesus simply could not look upon the multitudes and not have compassion for them (Matthew 9:36, 14:14). His heart was so full of the love of the Father that He couldn't look without compassion.

We are to live the same way. We should be so full of God's love that rivers of living water should flow from our hearts and change lives and atmospheres…

Matthew 5:1,2 - "...and when He was set, his DISCIPLES came unto him:  And He opened his mouth and TAUGHT them...."

As much as we love, thank God for, and honor the ministries of the saints of the past, we need to reach for the MINISTRY of Jesus in His BODY—in the fullness of redemptive…

 The river of God is always moving, always changing, and we must change with it.

With each battle won on the victorious battleground, change happens. Once you've conquered the enemy in a certain area, it's time to move on. We move ahead in the army of God, advancing His Kingdom. As long as we keep marching, we're changing because faith moves us ahead,…

"When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place." -  Acts 2:1

Pentecost happened at an appointed time, in an appointed place, with an appointed people.

God is still looking for a desperate people who are longing to meet with Him in surrender to His presence, so that He might fill us up with the power of His Spirit and…

We are to be the glory of His heavenly essence upon the earth.  As we allow God to expose the indifference and distractions in our lives, His light and nature will supernaturally come forth in power through each of us as we reject our worldly agendas and bring forth our DESTINY in Christ.

Romans 9:23 - "That He might make known the riches of…

"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." Revelation 1:12, 13

The lampstands are allegorical representations…
