 Many think righteousness equates to following the law, but this is a religious mindset. Living under the Law leads to death. If you live by the Law, the Law will require righteousness from you that you are unable to fulfill on your own, putting you in a position where you will be judged by that Law, and the Law is an unforgiving judge. But the good news is that Jesus came so that you may have life and life more…

Gideon was "clothed" (mantled) with God Himself. If you recall Gideon's story, it was difficult for him to see himself as God saw him. 

Gideon was fearful and hiding from the Midianites.  Yet God referred to him as a "mighty man of valor."

God saw Gideon's potential – just as He sees ours --  "He sees us completed!"…

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

The verse does not say that faith is the evidence of things that do not exist. God says what He has promised is already a reality.  Yet it won’t become a manifested reality in my life until I believe it is real before I see it – through fully…

Hebrews 4:14 -- "Having, then, a great High Priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession."

According to 1 John 3:8, Jesus had a purpose. His purpose was to "...destroy the works of the devil."

The word purpose in Greek is the word "tupos" (pronounced too-pos) and it means "model or imitation." When He was destroying the works of the devil, He became a model for us to imitate.

When we are carrying out our calling in…

 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." -  Ephesians 2:8-9

 Once we have received this "gift" of eternal life through the Blood of Jesus and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit,…

The ascended life – living from Heaven – dwelling in that sense of His presence and living from there releases revelation into your life. Revelation and information are not equal or the same. You can have a lot of good Biblical information but it may seem lifeless to you because it is simply a ritual.

 "Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a…

   "It shall be, in regard to their inheritance, that I am their inheritance. You shall give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession." - Ezekiel 44:28

The Lord wants to fill us with a holy desperation and a holy violence to lay hold of Him. It's a hunger that will drive us into holy romance with the Lord -- to enthrone Him in every area…

 When Jesus went up the mountain with three of His disciples, he was transfigured or altered from His human state to a glorified one (Matthew 17:1-9). It was a fearful moment of splendor as the Son of Man revealed His heavenly identity and manifested His glory in human form.

HIS BRILLIANCE…

And He said to them all, "If any man will [willingly choose to] come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." Luke 9:23

Each of us who desires to personally know and serve the Lord must first make this life-changing decision to "take up our cross." When we willingly do this, we submit ourselves to seeking and…

"Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you." Isaiah 60:1

Are you hungry to see an increase of the Presence and Power of the Lord at work in your life?  You can daily live in the demonstration of the Spirit and power! We serve a supernatural God who performs supernatural acts, and all believers should expect demonstrations of the Spirit and…

Matthew 17:4  - "Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here:  if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

Peter wanted to come up with a program to organize what God was doing; but God would have us to forsake our various programs and gimmicks and, instead, simply listen to Jesus.  The same glory is…

Psalm 145:4b, "and shall declare Your mighty acts."

It says in 2 Chronicles 16:9 that He looks to and fro to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are loyal towards Him. What would it look like for God to show Himself strong on your behalf? Wouldn't you like to find out?

In Luke 3:2 the Word of God came to John the Baptist while he was alone in the wilderness. The programs of the "church" of that day were in full operation, yet John was called apart to be with the Lord alone.

 So also today, there are those who are spiritually hungry and seeking something more, who likewise are being called apart to be alone with the Lord for a…

• The Church is heading into a greater shaking and a separation from our dependency on earthly things.
• We are going to see doors shut in areas that have been a distraction to us and have made us numb to what is taking place around us. This reset is the shutting of doors of commonality with the world, growing fear, and comforts that keep us in apathy and inaction,…

1 Chronicles 14:11 -- "So they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, 'God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water.' Therefore, they called the name of that place Baal Perazim [meaning Master of Breakthrough]."
