The Benefits of Forgiving
After teaching about forgiveness, I had a man ask this question. He said, "I understand that as a Christian I am to forgive. I understand that Jesus commanded us to forgive. But what difference will it make in my daily life. Who knows or cares if I forgive or not."...
Be Thankful for What God Has Done
Psalm 9:1 (NLT) I will thank you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. God loves the heart of a thankful person. When we are thankful to Him for all the things He has done for us, He wants to bless us even more. When we...
What Do You Want?
Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:3 – 4 Even if you don’t expect it, when you make room for the Lord, supernatural things...
Living in Love
"Love takes no account of the evil done to it—pays no attention to a suffered wrong" (1 Cor. 13:5 AMP). Did you know that walking in love is good for your health? That's right! I saw a documentary that focused on stress. It explained that researchers had discovered...

Slay Your Giant of Sickness by Faith
"Who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?" (1 Sam. 17:26). Believing and saying the Word of God is a spiritual law, just as gravity is a natural law. You can find the spiritual law of faith all through the Bible....
Comely Dressed for Praise
"Praise the comely for the upright" (Ps. 33:1). Two old English words which sound alike present a real study in contrast: homely and comely. Homely, unfortunately, has in our day taken on the meaning of "unattractive, dowdy, lacking in beauty." Originally, however,...
Make A Word Deposit
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things (Matt. 12:35 KJV). What do you deposit in your spirit? Do you deposit words that help complete your faith? This verse...
Faith Defined
"For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith"...
