Stand Your Ground
"Shammah....stationed himself in the middle of the field, defended it....And the Lord brought about a great victory" (2 Sam. 23:11-12 NKJ). Shammah was one of David's heroic warriors. He came to a field that was a food supply for David's army. The Philistines had...
Earnest Prayer is Dynamic!
The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available (dynamic in its working) (James 5:16 AMP). Christians can pray and get dynamic results. Our prayers can be specific, because the Word of God gives us at least seven things...
Heart Love
"The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us" (Rom. 5:5). "I hate my mother-in-law!" a minister's wife once said to me. "I don't even know if I'm saved or not, because the Bible says, 'Whosoever hateth his brother is a...
The Power of Love
"But faith...worketh by love" (Gal. 5:6). I used to wonder why we believers didn't see more of the power of God operating among us than we do. With what we know about faith and the Word, it seemed to me signs and wonders and miracles should be happening all the...

Who Has the Authority Now?
In Romans 8:37 Paul said, "Yet in all these thing we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." What does this mean to be more than a conqueror? A person who is "more than a conqueror" is someone who didn't have to fight the battle but gets to enjoy all...
God Is Our Refuge
Psalm 62:8 (KJV) Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. As Christians, we are to trust God always. When we are burned out, overwhelmed, and confused, we can trust Him and pour out our hearts before Him. He will...
Take Off the Brakes
So now we serve not under [obedience to] the old code of written regulations, but [under obedience to the promptings] of the Spirit in newness [of life]. Romans 7:6 Amp All too often when God wants to do something wonderful, miraculous, and powerful, we stop...
Resist Him in the Name of Jesus
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). How many times have you seen footage on the 6 o'clock news of someone resisting arrest? Have you ever noticed their behavior? They refuse to cooperate. They fight back....
