"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…

"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.…

"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 His Blood may cover our sins. His grace and mercy overflow to us so that we may be all that He has created us to be. He is determined to help us find our DESTINY into His perfect plan for us. His grace has made it possible for us to see His purpose for our life fulfilled.

"And they have conquered him by the…

"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 others. It is not one's commitment that grows cold; it is…

 "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…

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 our faith (see Hebrews 11:3). It is…

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…

When Jesus declared, "the Kingdom of God is at hand" (Mark 1:15), or "the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17; 10:7), He never said that again. From that day forward, He spoke about the Kingdom in the context of "the Kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21), and He demonstrated…

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 character and power today. The entire earth is groaning…

 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…

Romans 12:1-2: "I urge you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service and spiritual worship.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and…

We are called as fishers of men (see Matthew 4:19; Mark 1:17). The question posed is, “what exactly are we using to attract people to our message”?

In our quest to condemn sin, we have actually begun to condemn the people that are caught in the traps of sin. We place the focus of our message on how bad sin is, rather than on how compassionate Jesus is.…
