Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted...

I have the grace of God which has been given to me by Jesus Christ. In union with Christ I have become rich in all things including all speech and knowledge. - I Corinthians 1:4,5 God, being faithful, has joined me with His Son Jesus Christ. - I Corinthians 1:9 I proclaim Christ -- Christ...

Why are we so lackadaisical in our search for God? One possible answer is that we have yet to experience the beauty and power of God's manifest presence. Therefore, we don't understand that the reward of our seeking is worth every bit of our effort, and more. "One thing have I desired of the...

Jesus Himself called on God as, "Abba Father," as He faced the Cross. He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You" (Mark 14:36). Whatever cross or burden you are bearing, calling out to Abba Father is calling out for the impossible to become possible. SET IN AND SEATED WITH HIM God...

1. What is the pivot point of all Christianity? Answer: Jesus' substitution and our identification with it. Jesus was made to be sin for us. He never committed sin but he became the nature of sin. To the extent that I realize that Jesus was made to be sin, that is how much I will see myself as...

Rather than wandering in a wilderness place as the Israelites did, we can step into our TRUEST IDENTITY by seeing with new spiritual lenses and by reframing our thinking and our language in line with His thoughts about us. Let's use the same language about ourselves that He uses... in our...

"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives...

Revelation 19:10 - "The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." A testimony prophesies what is possible again. It declares another miracle is now available. It illustrates to all who will listen, the nature of God and His covenant with mankind. All He looks for is someone who will add...

In Luke 4:1-13, satan tempts Jesus with the offer of rulership over all the kingdoms of the world... Jesus rejects this proposal. Jesus' Kingdom in this age is not a kingdom of this world (John 18:36-37). He refuses to seek a kingdom for Himself by the worldly methods of compromise, earthly...

If we are feeling "spiritually empty," it may be the Lord's intention for us to feel this way. The Lord often removes the old to make room for the new, as we are about to enter into a new season. Thus: "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 5:3). Rather...

How many times do we try to reach through to Him – we pray, we fast, we read His Word, we worship? The enemy tries to block you, but how easy it is to come into His presence when you declare He is Lord; because he must bow down. "For greater is He that is within you, than he that is in the...

Luke 23:44-46 - "By now it was about midday and a darkness fell over the whole land, whch lasted until three in the afternoon; the sun's light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus gave a loud cry and said, 'Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit'; and with...

God is preparing overcomers – confident, bold, brave and mature children of God who fully manifest His love and will upon the earth. But many Believers are not experiencing this overcoming, abundant life, but instead are deeply wearied and discouraged. Following are the three simple steps out...

Have the class (or individual) read aloud each of the ascribed scriptures. Then dictate the indicated summary. The student is to recite the summary of each of the scriptures 5 times per day until the next class. Luke 18:35-43; Jesus required the blind man to verbally affirm the miracle he...

Luke 13:20,21 - "To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three mearures of meal till it was all leavened." Much like light that exposes, or salt that preserves, leaven influences it's surroundings in a subtle but overpowering way. So it is with...

2 Samuel 23:11-12 says, "One time the Philistines gathered at Lehi and attacked the Israelites in a field full of lentils. The Israelite army fled, but Shammah held his ground in the middle of the field and beat back the Philistines. So the Lord brought about a great victory." There is a mighty...

"And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?'" Matthew 27:46 Many believers have recently stepped with the Lord into the great unknown transitioning from one season to the next; a courageous...

Luke 5:21 - "The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?" Matthew 11:2,3 - "Now when John, while imprisoned, heard of the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to Him, Are you the expected...

As we believe that the Lord will release to us a revelation of the unlimited realm of the great ministry and fullness of the Holy Spirit in and through our lives, we ask the Holy Spirit to open our spiritual eyes and ears to see the invisible and to hear what He is saying us in this season. We...

Jesus prophesied, "I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father" - (John 14:12). By listening to the Holy Spirit and then casting our nets where He tells us to, we will be able to haul in a miraculous...
