Devotions
Love Is the Power Charge
"This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:12-13). Love. It is the first and foremost command Jesus gave us, yet all too many believers neglect...
A Strong Self Worth
Our manner of life expresses the value we place upon Jesus. Our lives become a pleasure to God because we are conformed to His wishes, changed to His ways, and delighting in His desires. Philippians 2:3-8 describes this manner of living: Do nothing from selfishness...
Always Loved
"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." (Rom. 8:37) Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Today, in this verse, there is a tremendous declaration. It says that in all our issues of life we are completely victorious...
Why Are Some Not Healed?
One night as I was reading my Bible, I noticed something very interesting about the teachings of Jesus. He wasn't like the Pharisees and Sadducees who taught legalism and bondage to the laws of man. When Jesus taught, He taught healing, freedom from bondage and...
Don’t Pretend to Be Good… Just Be
1 Peter 2:1 (NLT) So get rid of all malicious behavior and deceit. Don't just pretend to be good! Be done with hypocrisy and jealousy and backstabbing. Hypocrisy, jealousy, and backstabbing are common in the workplace. You need to guard your heart against those...

You Are Loved
"O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever" (Ps. 136:1). What I'm about to share with you, more than any single revelation, has changed my life. It has changed the way I read the New Testament. It has settled every question I have...
A New Creation
"For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation." (Gal. 6:15 NASB) The Jews highly valued the keeping of the Law of Moses as a means to be right with God. If they kept the law they felt close to God. If they failed the law they felt...
Casting Down Reasonings
Casting down imaginations [reasonings], and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. (2 Cor. 10:5) Many people's minds have never been renewed with the Word of...
The Importance of Hearing the Word
"And [Jesus] was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath" (Luke 13:10). Jesus' teaching ministry was important. You see, His teaching of the Word is what caused His healing ministry to flow and operate. Under Jesus' ministry, most people had to...
