God is Committed to Our Success
In Mark 4, Jesus taught that the Word of God sown into different kinds of ground would produce different results. One type of seed Jesus called “seed sown among thorns.” This is ground that Dennis calls overcrowded. The overcrowded heart has many things growing....
Keep on Shining
The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.Romans 13:12 No doubt, my dear, praying friend, you are already taking the light of the Gospel to those around you. You are already...
Rise and Walk
Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. (John 5:8) In 1950, I was preaching at a meeting in Oklahoma, and at the close of my sermon, the word of the Lord came to me saying, “Minister to those who have anything wrong with them from their hips...
God Cleans His Fish After He Catches Them
For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. (John 3:20) A few years ago I ate at a restaurant that was recommended by a friend. It had been a long day for me with several meetings, duties and...
Be Light On Your Feet

Listen and Obey
Psalm 81:13-14 (NLT) But oh, that my people would listen to me! Oh, that Israel would follow me, walking in my paths! How quickly I would then subdue their enemies! God has not changed. He, to this day, still only asks of us to be obedient—to listen and obey Him,...
Security and Undivided Loyalty
In Deuteronomy 11:13, God shows us another condition to create the atmosphere for rain: we must also “serve him with all our heart.” When Jesus became the Lord of our lives, we were made spiritually alive in our innermost being. Serving Him is more than just going...
Praying Brother In
“The god of this world [the devil] hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them” (2 Cor. 4:4). Do you know how to pray your family into the kingdom of...
Tradition—A Killer!
“Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition” (Matt. 15:6). Cancer. Heart disease. Multiple sclerosis. When we think of killer diseases, those are the names that come to mind. But the truth is, there’s a far more...
