Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 1 Corinthians 2:12 We all know the story of David slaying Goliath, the 10 feet tall Philistine warrior. But did you ever think about why David succeeded while others in the army of Israel were afraid to face Goliath?  David’s secret was that he ...  Read More

And this will be a sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. Luke 2:12 All of us are familiar with the story of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. We’re told in the scriptures that when the time had come, Mary “brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a manger” (Luke 2:6-7). But have you ever wondered why the ange...  Read More

Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a ‘den of thieves’.” Mark 11:17 We all know that every prayer prayed does not produce immediate results, but what do we do when the results are not immediate? The promises of God are there for us, but when they have yet to manifest in our circumstances, what should...  Read More

Neither shall they say, lo here: or, low there: for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:21 You know, we are by nature conscious of lack. But it will help us greatly to know that Jesus isn’t. You see, even during lack, He was always conscience of abundance. You remember the story in John 6:1-13 of the little boy who had five loaves of bread and two fish? What did Jesus do when these w...  Read More

No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. Psalm 91:10-11 You know, we don’t have to be fearful of anything.

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.  3 John 1:2 If asked, what is the best prayer you could pray for someone? I believe the Apostle John answered that question by the prayer he prayed when he prayed, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” When the apostle John wr...  Read More

And their sins and their lawbreaking, I will remember no more. Hebrews 10:17 I once heard a story about a man who died of a heart attack and went to heaven. In heaven, there was this huge screen showing all the sins over his lifetime. Can you imagine how embarrassing this would be?  But you don’t have to worry about that because that will never happen to you in heaven. Your sins of the past and ev...  Read More

The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. Deuteronomy 28:7 There are some folks who think that Jesus and the devil are always fighting one another. But if you examine that in light of the scriptures, you don’t see them fighting. What you will see is the devil having to flee whenever...  Read More

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 We all have the tendency in a crisis to get anxious. But according to the Word, God does not want us to react this way. He does not want us to...  Read More

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; (1 Corinthians 1:27).  When we’re faced with a problem, usually we start looking for the best way to solve it. We want the strongest, most powerful way we can find to help make the problem go away.  Well, that’s natural thinking a...  Read More

There are some Christians who believe in the forgiveness of sins but not from the penalties of them. In other words, you will still get punished for your past sins. So many believers have trouble moving forward in their relationship with God thinking that He is constantly punishing them for their sins of the past.  God is the only one who can fully appreciate the full value of His Son’s blood and ...  Read More

For it is God who works in you both to will and to do His good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 Many times, we try to do things that are really important to us and we desperately want to accomplish the feat.

This is prevalent when you're trying to give up a h...  Read More
