"So too the (Holy) Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer...but the Spirit Himself...pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance" (Rom. 8:26 AMP). As long as you live...

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law" (Gal. 5:22-23). So many believers think of the fruit of the spirit as little more than a passive list of pleasant...

"I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matt. 16:19). The Greek text of that scripture would literally read, I...

"If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered" (John 15:6). If I were to ask you to make a list of a hundred things you need to do to please the Lord today, you could do it, couldn't you? In fact, you probably have so many spiritual...

"Whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith" (1 John 5:4 AMP). Years ago the devil started a rumor. He told a few Christians that as long as they lived in the world, they had to suffer as...

"The steps of a [good] man are directed and established of the Lord, when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step]" (Ps. 37:23 AMP). God's will is to lead you on a day-by-day basis. He's given His Spirit to guide you every day. Most...

"I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate (closely and habitually) with unchaste (impure) people" (1 Cor. 5:9 AMP). The company you keep has such an influence on your spiritual life. Fellowshiping with godly people will help speed you on to victory,...

"Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition" (Matt. 15:6). Cancer. Heart disease. Multiple sclerosis. When we think of killer diseases, those are the names that come to mind. But the truth is, there's a far more deadly killer on the...

"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it" (Matt. 16:25). The high life...or the low life? God's kind of life...or the world's kind of life? You can't have them both. It's one or the other. You have...

"But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing" (James 1:4). I talk a lot about faith. But there's another force that goes along with it that's just as important. It's patience, the ability to stand fast on the Word of...

"In Him was Life and the Life was the Light of men. And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it" (John 1:4-5 AMP). Whenever things around you get dark and you feel the devil is about to overpower you, remember this: You have...

"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you" (Luke 10:19). Somebody's done you wrong! Sooner or later it happens to all of us. Somewhere along the way, we all get...
