Devotions
He Wants to Hear You!
"Is any among you afflicted or in trouble? Let him pray" (James 5:13). It's wonderful to have a good pastor, and it's wonderful to know people who can pray with power - and I certainly do ask for prayer from others occasionally - but it's a believer's own prayers...
The Gift Of Life
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom. 6:23 KJV) When we put our time and energy into a job we expect a paycheck for our efforts. This verse says that payday is coming. Not every job pays off on...
Divine Healing
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. (1 Cor. 2:5) Dr. Lilian B. Yeomans was a medical doctor who was born and raised in Canada and then moved to the United States. Her mother and father were doctors, and her grandfather...
Phases of the Christian Life
"But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty" (Matt. 13:8 NKJ). The context of this verse seems to indicate three types of Christians with varying percentage of return on the seed of the Word of God planted in...
He Sent His Angel Just for You
"My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: for as much as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt" (Dan. 6:22). Remember the story of Daniel and the lions' den in Daniel,...
Whom Resist
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist steadfast in the faith" (1 Peter 5:8-9). In 1942, I had a battle with symptoms in my body. I prayed, appropriated the promises of God,...
From Believing to Perceiving
"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" (Rom. 8:37). The Bible calls us kings and priests (Rev. 1:6) and world overcomers (1 John 5:4). But for most of us, those are just phrases. They haven't become real to us. That's why...
Strength Stealers
Our faith and energy can be absorbed when our focus is turned from the power strengtheners to power stealers. Once a man had an opportunity to ask a lion trainer a question he had held for many years. As a boy going to the circus, the man had watched the trainers...
The Great Escape
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths" (Prov. 3:5-6). Once you start stepping out in faith and walking in the spirit, the devil will see to it that you have...
Abundant Wealth – Abundant Health
In John 10:10, Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." As for me, I've had nothing and I've had a lot. I've been sick and I've been well. And I'll tell you what I think. Being well with money is a whole lot more...
