Each one of God's children has a testimony to the Risen Christ that will bless others as it is shared. The Lord Jesus desires for us to have a worship mindset that embraces holy works.
From this place of relational security, the Holy Spirit will produce His witness to Christ through us. If we...
Luke 17:21 - "Behold, the kingdom of God is within you."
Striving to obtain love, peace and joy can be wasted in religious energy. The perception exists that God needs to be talked into doing things for us.
It is the realization of His presence and provision within us that sets us free to be...
We are called to live as ambassadors of another realm (see 2 Corinthians 5:20 and Philippians 3:20). In every situation we encounter we are given a choice. We can "call it as we see it" or we can choose to "call it as He sees it."
Before we can call it as He sees it, we have to actually see it...
Instead of asking God for direction, ask Him for wisdom.
James 1:5 - "If any of you need wisdom, you should ask God, and it will be given to you. God is generous and won't correct you for asking."
Too often we ask for direction when what we really need is wisdom. Should I go left or right...
"For this reason, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened [kratos] with might [dunamis] through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may...
Jesus is your best friend as well as your King. Living in HIs presence means living in two realms simultaneously: the visible world and the unseen, eternal reality. You confess daily of your consciousness of Him while walking along precarious earthbound paths. Together, with Jesus, you will...
Although God will bless His people, there are some things that He will not agree with--for example, our religious mindsets. The Holy Spirit cannot stay and dwell in these wrong concepts as they are contrary to the truth, because He is the Spirit of Truth.
THERE ARE THREE MINDSETS WE NEED TO...

I bless the Lord at all times, I continually declare praise to Him. (Psalm 34:1)
I magnify Jesus and exalt His name as I proclaim it to others who have ears to hear and rejoice. (Psalm 34:2,3)
I seek the Lord and He answers me and delivers me from all my fears. (Psalm 34:4)
The angel of the...
The Apostle Paul said he was "apprehended by Christ." Think about that. That's what a Christian is; someone who has been apprehended (stopped, and taken into the custody) by Jesus Christ.
When God gives you a promise or word or vision which you know is from Him – don't just look at it but...
For those who are faint in their heart be of good cheer for the Lord has overcome all that surrounds you. Remember He said, "lo, I am with you always, even until the end of time." (Matthew 28:20)
Draw Him into the situation that is trying to draw you into the valley of fear. As you draw Him in...
As Christians, we are to be "fed and led" to become His voice--fed by the Word and led by the Spirit. There are many lazy people in the Church and, for them, the easiest way to hear God is to be fed by someone who is "close" to God. Unfortunately, this mindset has crept into the Church.
The...
"Once Jesus had finished teaching, He turned to Peter and instructed him to first “launch out into the deep” and second, “let down your nets for a catch” (see Luke 5:4). To this, Peter replied, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word, I will let down the...
Psalm 13:1 -- "How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide your face from me?"
Believers want to know God. God's wisdom is to let us 'taste' dryness that we might become desperate enough to seek for living water.
Many misinterpret the dryness and become so...
God's glory is what we are ultimately wanting to break into. We should want greater glory in our lives and IN OUR MINISTRY TO OTHERS; a glory that is carried out into the world. We are to live from glory to glory. It is an ever-increasing glory.
"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in...
John 6:55,56,60 -- "'For my flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.' Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, 'this is a hard saying; who can understand it?'"
John 6:63 -- "It is the Spirit who...
God said to Zerubbabel, "...Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit..." (Zechariah 4:6,). And His message to us is the same.
Revival begins with repentance, and it begins with us. To repent is to "about face"; to turn the opposite way; to run from the flesh-exalting, death-empowering...
Ephesians 2:17-19 - “And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's...
One of the first signs of true Christian maturity is having our identity more in citizenship in heaven than our citizenship on the earth.
If our first thought, when asked who we are, is what we do for a living, then we are still married to the world more than to Christ, or at best we are still...
John 1:51 - "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
Jesus is Jacob's ladder which we ascend and descend upon.
It is our calling in Christ to both go higher and go lower. We are...
