 2 Peter 1:4 - "By which He (God) has granted to us His precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire."

Each of us has a promised land for our lives (our Christ calling). God's promises are key to us entering into the…

"I know what you have done;  I know that you are neither cold nor hot.  How I wish you were either one or the other!  But because you are barely warm, neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit you out of my mouth!...Buy also some medicine (from Me) to put on your eyes, so that you may see." - Revelation 3:15,18 TEV

The religious spirit is so closely akin to the Holy…

Jesus prophesied, "I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father" (John 14:12).

By listening to the Holy Spirit and then casting our nets where He tells us to, we will be able to haul in a miraculous catch

This generation, as it arises and breaks out of…

God is preparing overcomers – confident, bold, brave, and mature children of God who understand their Christ identity and fully manifest His love and will upon the earth. But many Believers are not experiencing this overcoming, abundant life, but instead are deeply wearied and discouraged.

Following are the three simple steps out of darkness and despair to advance toward the victorious life of an…

If we are feeling "spiritually empty," it may be the Lord's intention for us to feel this way. The Lord often removes the old to make room for the new, as we are about to enter into a new season. Thus:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 5:3).

Rather than being discouraged or complaining about our present…

1. Why was Jesus manifested in the earth?

     Answer:  To destroy the works of the devil.  Destroying the works of the devil would include anything that would impede the advancing of God’s Kingdom.

"For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth.  All who are not deaf to the truth listen…

 "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." - James 1:2-5…

Jesus Himself called on God as, "Abba Father," as He faced the Cross. He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You" (Mark 14:36). Whatever burden you are bearing, calling out to Abba Father is calling out for the impossible to become possible.

SET IN AND SEATED WITH HIM…

 Many Christians muddy along, hoping for nothing loftier than a short reprieve from sin and self-condemnation. Should the lowliness of our limited expectation have veto power over the enormity of God's promises?

May it never be!

Scripture assures us that OUR CHRIST CALLING to God's PURPOSE for our life, even as lowly as we feel sometimes, is an upward climb that relies…

"He turns a wilderness into pools of water, and dry land into water springs. There He makes the hungry dwell, that they may establish a city for a dwelling place, and sow fields and plant vineyards, that they may yield a fruitful harvest." -  Psalm 107:35-37

If you find yourself in a dry land or a wilderness season, start focusing on bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom and watch how…

 The Holy Spirit is "the Helper" not "the Doer." He will do His part, but He expects us to do ours. It is good to be able to recognize the work of the Holy Spirit, but we must not stop there. We must go on to seek Him for what our part is and then do it.

We must constantly seek to understand God’s purpose for our life (our DESTINY in Christ). -…
