Devotions
Kick the Habit
"The cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful" (Mark 4:19). Most people these days don't think much about worry. They're so accustomed to it. To them it's normal....
Walk in the Glory
"That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection" (Phil. 3:10). Within the spirit of every born-again child of God, there is a divine hunger. That hunger cannot be satisfied either by the things of this world or by the theologies of religion. It is not a...
Led By The Spirit Of God
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." (Rom. 8:14) To be led by the Spirit of God is the awesome privilege and responsibility of the sons and daughters of God. To be led means to be guided by divine impressions and brought forth or...
Faith Comes by Hearing
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Rom. 10:17) Two years later, I went back to that same church in Oklahoma and noticed that the young woman who had refused to believe anything was there. Again, the meeting ran four weeks. I noticed...

This is Your Year
"The year of My redeemed has come" (Isa. 63:4 NKJ). It is great to start the new year with hopes, aspirations, and dreams. We are highly motivated at the beginning of each new year thinking that perhaps this is the year "our ship will come in." Solomon expressed it...
Put the Word of God in Your Mouth
"And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea, and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases" (Luke...
You Are Righteous
"Not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith" (Phil. 3:9). I don't care how badly you may have messed things up yesterday or how many mistakes you made; I want you...
Need Encouragement?
One way to meditate God's Word is to speak aloud. It is interesting to note that the Hebrew word in Joshua 1:8 translated meditate is also rendered "to speak" in the following three verses: For my mouth will speak (or meditates) truth. (Prov. 8:7) And my tongue...
Speak Life
What you say is important. In fact, the words that come from your mouth today shape your world tomorrow. Your words can bring prosperity and health or they can bring poverty and death. According to the Bible, the words you speak can and will shape your life....
