Devotions
Pass the Prosperity Test
"But you shall (earnestly) remember the Lord your God; for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth" (Deut. 8:18 AMP). The very idea of wealth scares some Christians. They think having a lot of money is ungodly—but that's not what the Bible says. God doesn't...
Believe The Love
"We have come to know and have believed the love, which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him." (1 John 4:16 NASB) Love is of the heart. We respond to it and we make choice for it in our hearts. It is...
A Warm Glow
And the whole multitude sought to touch him [Jesus]: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. (Luke 6:19)The young woman had recovered some, but she still didn't have use of the lower part of her body. Her brother said to me, "We're going to...
The Two Flows of Anointing
"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." (Acts 10:38) We can learn God's ways as we watch the ministry of Jesus. It appears that two...

Become Sensitive Again
"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you" (Eph. 4:31-32). Years ago I was...
I Will Say of the Lord
Psalm 91:2 says, “I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.’” If we will fix our eyes on God as our place to run for refuge and protection, He will surround us with His protection from threats and attacks of every kind....
Did Jesus Smile?
Several years ago, I was the worship leader at a church. I loved it. To lead people in worship was a joy, and I always tried to present myself as a joyful leader. It's easy when you love to worship Jesus. Joy is almost automatic. Well, anyway, after church one...
