‘I Plead the Blood’
"In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace" (Eph. 1:7). I went for years not knowing anything about the blood. I heard Pentecostal people plead the blood. You'd hear them all the time: "I plead the...
Hold Fast To Sound Words
Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus. (2 Tim. 1:13 KJV) The power of our tongue will either make us or break us. We are told to hold on to a form of sound words. The word "form" here means a...
Praying the Power Down
Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. (James 5:14)My wife and I had just moved into the parsonage of a Full Gospel church in the black land of north central...
Don’t Carry the Devil’s Burden
"But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place,...

To the Church
"And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body" (Eph. 1:22-23). What a need there is for the Church to awaken to the appreciation of her mighty place and privilege, to be exalted to the place...
Weapon of Praise

What Your Money Accomplishes
It is so important for us to realize that we must handle the wealth of this world in order to reach this world for God. The revival we are entering is of such a great magnitude that believers everywhere will be required to grow in all aspects in order to...
It Pays To Obey God
And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. (1 Sam. 15:22) I remember a dear, precious saint of God. She was...
