Hebrews 11:1 - "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
The way we use the word "hope" in everyday speech and the meaning of hope used in the Bible are two different things. When we say "I hope so" we simply mean "I desire or I wish."
Bible hope isn't...
Ezekiel 37:5 - "Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live."
While Ezekiel was in the Spirit, it came to him to prophesy to the dry bones and say "O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord" (verse 4) and he saw an "exceeding great army" (verse 10) rising up about him. What is...
As the daughters of Jerusalem sitting or remaining in their chambers, closets, houses, could not behold the glory of King Solomon passing by, and therefore that were willed to come forth out of their doors: even so, if we will behold the great King Jesus Christ, in his most excellent glory (a...
James 4:8 - "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."
1) Believe that you are loved and cherished by God, and that He deeply longs for intimacy with you.
2) Believe that you have been drawn into intimacy through the finished work of the cross. Let all striving go, and believe that you...
Galatians 2:20 - "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me."
Satan wants us to feel alone and abandoned. We are never disconnected from the Lord because He lives in us. We don't always feel the presence of God but He is always in us.
We stay...
In His Presence Are the Answers That You Seek.
Wear the crown of glory that He would have you wear uprightly. Lay down any identity that man would come with. Man would come and try to push His crown off your head, and put upon it a counterfeit identity.
Lay down all these things that rush into...
2 Corinthians 5:7 - "For we walk by faith, not by sight."
Faith in God's Word is how the treasures of God's wisdom and knowledge are released. Walking by faith means building up our spirit through affirming and meditating on God's word until it becomes the "sword of the spirit."
This is the...
Philippians 1:28 - "Don't be afraid of your enemies; always be courageous, and this will prove to them that they will lose and that you will win because it is God who gives you the victory."
Peace is spirit power. Your peace, your immovable stand upon the Word of God, is a sign that you are...
Romans 1:14 - “I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians.”
Paul was overwhelmed with the sense of his indebtedness to Jesus Christ, and he spent himself to express it. "Ye are not your own.“ Paul sold himself to Jesus Christ.
The great inspiration in Paul’s life was his view of...
Luke 4:18 - "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me."
Believe God is bringing us to a place where we know that the Spirit of the Lord is upon us. God wants to bring us to the fact of what Jesus said in John 14: "I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper who will be with you...
Matthew 5:39 - "But I say unto you, That you resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also."
These verses reveal the humiliation of being a Christian. When you are insulted, you must not only not resent it, but make it an occasion to exhibit the...
"And Goliath cursed David by his gods. The Philistine also said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field." - 1 Samuel 18:43,44
Goliath first used fiery darts against David (his words of negativity), believing that the negativity alone...
All other things , in comparison to Christ, are not worth a look -- they are but as vile things, as under things, as poor and low and mean and base things, in comparison to Christ. (Philippians 8:8)
MEDITATION:
We are to be continually taking ground for the Kingdom of God as we position...
Colossians 2:9,10 - "For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority."
Does that sound like a description of some pitiful, poor weakling that can barely make ends meet? No!. It's...
Luke 9:23 - "If anyone wishes to come after Me; he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me."
When the Cross is alive, it burns up the flesh – dreams of the flesh, ambitions of the flesh – all of the flesh.
All of the flesh it consumes. It consumed man's flesh beyond...
Christ is never precious in man's apprehension, so long as the world seems glorious to him. As we begin to relish sweetness in Christ, so the world begins to be bitter to us. (1 John 1:2)
MEDITATION:
Are you tired of going around the same old mountain hoping to get to the top, but the obstacles...
A move of God by definition involves God moving. Which means we may not "find" Him exactly where (or how) we have in the past – because He is doing a new thing. He is not changing, God never changes (Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8). But He loves to reveal more of Himself to us in greater and...
Luke 11:38 - "When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that He had not first ceremonially washed before the meal."
If we are still "doing" acts of holiness to get God to move in our lives, then we are still operating under a "law" mentally that is not faith (Galatians 3:12). The legalist...
Wait patiently with Him while He blesses you. Don’t rush into His Presence with time-consciousness gnawing at your mind. He dwells in timelessness: He is, He was, He will always be. For you can handle only twenty-four-hour segments of life. Time can also be a tyrant, ticking away relentlessly in...
2 Corinthians 1:4 - "He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us."
We need a revelation of a greater power, an abiding presence sustaining and comforting us in the hour of trial. What...
