Devotions
Go the Other Way
"Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matt. 4:17). When Jesus came preaching the good news of the gospel, He said to the people, "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." What did Jesus mean by this? Change your mind and come My way. Turn around and...
The Fragrance of Knowing Him
"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place." (2 Cor. 2:14) We can be grateful that God always makes it possible for Jesus Christ to lead us to victory. God also helps...
Doubt Is an Enemy of Faith
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Heb. 11:1) Now what did I say to that woman to get her to act on the Word? You see, initially she was crying out, "Oh, please, Jesus! Please heal me! Oh, Jesus, let me walk! I'm so...
Don’t Leave the Door Open!
"As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come" (Prov. 26:2). If you were to leave the front door of your home wide open, any kind of animal—even a skunk—could walk right in. Spiritually speaking, Christians...
The Lord’s Visitation
"Thy visitation has preserved my spirit" (Job 10:12). There are several reasons for the Lord's visitation: 1) The Lord visits us as a doctor makes a house call. The doctor does not come to see us for social purposes. His coming is not for afternoon tea with...
We Inherited Power
"And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power" (Eph. 1:19). We have power. I'm talking about the strength that progressively increases. I'm talking about that vigor, that dominion, and that...
Under Your Feet
"The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Until I make thy foes thy footstool" (Acts 2:34-35). Even though Satan lost all his authority on this earth the day Jesus rose from the dead, for the past 2,000 years he's been running around as a spiritual...
Boast In The Cross
But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Gal. 6:14 NASB) Because of the cross of Jesus Christ, we are dead to the world. We are no longer concerned...
Why Do We Talk So Much About Faith?
I have received several letters asking me generally this one question. "Why do you talk about faith so much?" Well, the reason I try to study and talk about faith so much is because Jesus did. And I want to be like Him. Let me explain. When the winds of the sea...
Listen Only for the Voice of the Master
… Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us? Luke 24:32 The Lord is saying to all of us today what He once said to me: “Don’t go into prayer headfirst, or you will mess it up.” He is warning us to...
