The Greater One Lives in You!
"For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones" (Eph. 5:30). Today, if the world is going to see Jesus, they'll have to see Him through us. We're His physical Body! If His Body doesn't preach the gospel, the gospel doesn't get preached. If His Body...
He Will Lead You
"This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh" (Gal. 5:16). Walking in the spirit. That's the key to overcoming the flesh. If you follow the promptings of the Spirit of God within you, you won't be dominated by the pressure...
Promise of Protection
Read Psalm 91 Paul said, in writing to the church, "Ye are God's husbandry, garden, farm, ye are God's building" (1 Cor. 3:9). That means we belong to God. Now, if you have a building worth anything, even your own home, you are going to protect it every way you...
Hold Fast to Your New Beginning
"Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip" (Heb. 2:1). Now, you may be saying, "Bishop Butler, now that I know God has a new beginning for me, is there anything that can hinder my...

"He stretches out the north over empty space..." (Job 26:7 NKJ). It has been conjectured that in our universe there is an area to the north of our earth in which there are no stars, planets, or other heavenly bodies. It is supposed to be sort of a void, an empty...
Cycle Of Defeat
The beginning chapters of the book of Judges record some of the darkest times in Israel’s history. After mightily defeating the enemy under Joshua’s leadership, Israel failed to maintain a close walk with God. In fact, over the next 200 years they remained in a...
Ask in Jesus’ Name!
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. (John 14:14) As a believer, you have the right to ask God the Father for healing or any other blessing. And if you ask in the Name of Jesus, you have the absolute guarantee that God the Father will hear and answer...
Apply Your Heart to the Word
"Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge" (Prov. 22:17). Some years ago Janet and I taught for several days in a small campmeeting. While we were there, we noticed a young woman who came to every service. She used...
Keep the Switch of Faith Turned On
Then enquired he [Jesus] of them the hour when he began to amend.... (John 4:52)Because healing is not always instantaneous, many people lose the beginning of their healing because they don't know that. Unfortunately, whenever I say that, people usually...
Amazement Exposes a Previous Doubt
If we will be bold with God's Word, then we can change the world for Jesus. If we're mealy-mouthed about it and if we live an unholy, wishy-washy lifestyle, the people of the world will look at us and they won't be able to tell any difference between themselves and...
