Your dream is not dead. It is only sleeping.Lazarus, a friend of Jesus who lived in Bethany, was sick. When Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, He said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God.” Jesus didn’t panic. He didn’t get into fear, and of...
For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men,...
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?" (Rom. 6:1). When we teach, we can teach with an attitude of grace or with an attitude of condemnation. When I was young I was in "old-time revival tent meetings" where the evangelist actually...
When you are a minister and you speak publicly several times a week, there are times when you feel you've done better in your presentation than at other times. Recently I was at a meeting and Loretta was unable to attend. When I called her to touch base after the...
"Much food is in the fallow ground of the poor" (Prov. 13:23). Much food is in uncultivated ground and much potential is in the uncultivated ground of people's lives. I have seen great potential go untapped for years. God sees this in our lives daily and I feel...
First John 4:21 says, "And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also." Do you have relatives who feel it is their call in life to discourage you? If you do, then you are not alone. One of the worst things you can do when...

Second Timothy 2:15 says, "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." In this scripture we find where we are told that we are to be workers for God, not ashamed and that we are to...
Second Timothy 1:7 says, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." This verse gives us a very basic principle of faith. Fear is a spirit and it is not sent from God. Fear is used by the enemy to paralyze, immobilize...
Most people live their lives trying to defeat sin. This may come as a shock to some people, but born-again believers are without sin. The Word of God says in 1 John 3:9, "Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin,...
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Heb. 11:1). We don't naturally see faith, but in the spirit realm faith can be seen. I believe when we pass over into the spirit realm, we will be shocked at the things we have moved...
