This Is Our Aim
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.(Gal. 5:25) In the spirit. The Lord has been speaking that phrase again and again to my heart in recent times. It’s a familiar phrase to me. Over the years, I’ve studied and preached a lot about the...
Retreat to Advance
Sometimes the most important and urgent thing we can do is get away to a peaceful and anointed spot. This is one of the most powerful concepts that I personally have incorporated into my life. I'm sitting right now writing this message in a cabin up on a hill...
Trust the Lord as Your Helper and Shield
Psalm 115:11 (NLT) All you who fear the Lord, trust the Lord! He is your helper; he is your shield. Is it possible to fear God but not trust Him? It must be if the Bible tells us to trust Him (to all of us who fear Him). We all have the tendency to get religious...
I’m Doing the Best I Can
"Be ye holy; for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16). When Max, our grandson, started kindergarten, he had quite an awakening. Max is the youngest in his family and is used to being pampered by his three big sisters. So he was very surprised to find out that in kindergarten,...
Be Thankful
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Col. 3:15 NASB) Let Christ's peace control you because God has called you into His peace by bringing you into His body. So be thankful. Jesus does so much...
No Comparison!
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. (Num. 13:30) In Numbers chapter 13, we read that twelve spies were sent to spy out the land of Canaan. Ten of them brought back an evil...
Our Family is Cheering Us On
"And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be...
Three Loves: Take Your Choice
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world..." (1 John 2:15). Demas, Diotrephes, and Demetrius each had a love, but each loved a different thing. DEMAS: "Demas has forsaken me, and has departed for Thessalonica..." (2 Tim. 4:9-10 NKJ). Paul was...
Be the Best in Everything You Do
"And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt harken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all His commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy god will set thee on high above all nations of the earth" (Deut. 28:1). God...
Changing of Lords
"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace" (Rom. 6:14). Another translation of today's text reads, "For sin shall not lord it over you." Sin and Satan are synonymous terms. Therefore, we could read this verse, "For...
