Ephesians 5:14 - "Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
OBSERVATION:
If I truly want Christ to "shine upon me, I must arise from the distractions that entomb me in lethargy and spiritual darkness.
By praying the scriptures in the epistles of Paul that pertain...
Matt. 3:2, "...Repent ye: for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."
Matt. 4:17, "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,'Repent: for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.'"
The Greek word for repentance, metanoeo, means to change one's mind. Many seek miracles for what they could have by...
Isaiah 66:9 - "Shall I bring to the point of birth and not cause to bring forth?" says the LORD; 'Shall I, who cause to bring forth, shut the womb?' says your God.'"
No more restriction to the sound of God inside of you. Let the winds of God blow in and through you today. It's time for you to...
Ephesians 1:5,6 - "Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved."
Since we are adopted in Christ Jesus a low opinion of ourself...
Our minds and mindsets need to be renewed by the Spirit. The culture of the day has begun to influence the way many see, think and feel, and the Lord is recalibrating us to see, think and feel as He does, and to bring us back to our first love. He wants to remind us of who we are, who He is, and...
Are you tired of shallow-water Christianity, and you want the deep things of God, or the strong food that is mentioned in scripture? Are you ready for the deep, deep things of God?
Tell God you are ready to be offered, and God will prove Himself to be all you ever dreamed He would be.
"I am...
Are you tired of going around the same old mountain hoping to get to the top, but the obstacles hold you back? It is time to shake off the old and get ready for the new and for receiving the workings of Christ in you, for new beginnings - for the rich oil of His anointing.
God wants to...
The Apostle Paul lived in the green-light district of the Gospel. He didn't need signs in the heavens to convince Him to obey the Scriptures. When Jesus said, "Go!" that was enough.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of...
Good things began to happen to David almost immediately because he started looking at his world through eyes of blessing rather than eyes of failure. Even as he overcame the lion and the bear, he knew he could overcome giants. And just as he took authority and overcame everything that threatened...
"Feed My Sheep." - John 21:17
If I love my Lord I have to FEED HIS SHEEP. There is no relief and no release from this commission. Beware of counterfeiting the love of God by working along the line of natural human sympathy.
The Spirit of wisdom gives you ability that is beyond your ability. It...
"But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ." - Ephesians 4:15
To those beginning their spiritual journey, God reveals Himself as Father. The picture is of a loving father embracing and reassuring his children.
After knowing God as Father...
Many believers live with the concept that God will lead them when it's time for them to do something. And so they wait, sometimes for an entire lifetime, without any significant impact on the world around them.
"GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the...
When you discover who you are in Christ, you begin to measure your life and ministry by Jesus' model. You begin to want what He wants for the same reason He wants it.
One religious mindset that many Christians can be guilty of -- we are trying to change our old nature (old man) and improve...
Since the moment we first came to Christ, there has been an updraft of the Holy Spirit, a constant drawing from God lifting us upward toward the fullness of His Presence. Let's surrender to this wind of God and allow Him to carry us into our holy future (our DESTINY).
The disciples did not just...

God wants to resurrect things that have died in us. We may think that our window of occasion is past the time that anything good can happen, but remember we serve the God of the resurrection.
"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life....." - John 11:25
We are to be continually...
"Before she went into labor, she had the baby. Before the birth pangs hit, she delivered a son....So I open the womb and not deliver the baby? Do I, the One who delivers babies shut the womb?" - Isaiah 66:7-9
Soul travail is an impassioned deep level of intercession (prayer) that affects the...
God is here with his divine purpose to change our weakness into mighty strength and faith. The Word of God! Have you got it? It is marrow to your bones. It is unction. It is resurrection from every weakness. It is life from the dead.
"See that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise...
Acts 14:3 - "Therefore they stayed there a long time speaking boldly in the Lord who was bearing witness to the word of His grace granting signs and wonders done by their hands."
There has to be a demonstration of this King we serve. The evidence of His resurrection is in the power of your...
One of the unique things about the Church of the New Covenant is that God has authorized and commanded every believer to do the work of the ministry! God wants an entire army of workers out doing the vital work of DISCIPLESHIP of the saints and building up His Body, the Church.
"Grace, mercy...
