"Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you...." - 2 Timothy 1:6
God didn't save and deliver you so you could preserve His gift in a sealed jar and live life as usual.
It's time for you to go deep once again. It's time for you to put yourself out, to be brave, courageous...
"May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and love of God, and the fellowship (communion) of the Holy Spirit be with you all." - 2 Corinthians 13:14
Prayer is when you turn away from the world and are preoccupied with the "things of God."
The Greek word "Koinonia" (fellowship, communion) is when...
He has called us not to "wonder about the future," but to create it through the knowledge of His living Word and prayer! What our Father gives is access to the future right now. To bring manifestation is to pray and believe for the reality of God's Kingdom to manifest on earth.
"Pray, then, in...
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...
One of the dimensions of living the way of Christ, besides living a life of love, forgiveness, and service is embracing the spirituality of DOWNWARD MOBILITY. This is a willingness to modify our career, change our location, or whatever other sacrifices we are called to make, for the sake of...
We don't have to become disheartened because of our weakness, because our weakness is not an obstacle; God's might will perfect strength out of weakness.
"Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak...
We as kings and priests in God's kingdom are the anointed ones, the sons and daughters of fresh oil, endued with gifts of power, strength, and grace to enable us to accomplish the work we're called to (our DESTINY).
If you allow the conditions of life to dictate your level of worship, they will...
When the Lord Jesus was on the cross, He had authority to come down if He so wished. By the same token, those who are crucified with the Lord can let their old man come down from the cross if they so choose.
The best warfare to engage in against the devil is to magnify the Lord Jesus in your...
Faith is released by speaking words. Jesus encouraged us to speak to mountains or to whatever our problem is.
"...For assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain..." - Matthew 17:20
You don't need to use your faith for every single need in life...
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...
"You can be sure that the more we undergo sufferings for Christ, the more He will shower us with His comfort and encouragement." - 2 Corinthians 1:5
These sufferings are not sickness and poverty as some religious teaching suggest. These afflictions are described as the "fellowship of...
You know there are things you are doing now that are temporary. You are doing them only until you find the thing God wants you to do, the real work you were meant to do. When the fire reaches your core, you will trash all the vestiges of harmless, powerless living.
Our best days are yet to...
Your teenager needs to hear father pray. He needs to hear mother pray for him and for herself. He needs to know that his parents trust him to God.
We must go on to maturity. We must set our vision on the PURPOSE (our DESTINY for which we have been made a new creation.
"For all the promises of...
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1
Faith is stronger than belief. To believe is to give intellectual assent; to have faith is to be inseparable from the object of your devotion. Belief can be changed or lost by a more persuasive...
Hebrews 11:6 - "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
Throughout the Bible, the faith of the saints was never something passive -- but rather a faith of ACTION.
If...
The Holy Spirit now lives in your inner man to strengthen you and help you to do what you could not do without Him. God's kingdom authority, dominion, and majesty should be reigning in every believer's inner man.
"That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be...
"Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you...." - 2 Timothy 1:6
Every believer holds a position of authority that comes with God-given talents or gifts and is hidden in Christ Jesus, above all demonic authority. So why are so many of us INEFFECTIVE?
God didn't save and...
As God's people we learn to live on the basis of hearing God's voice and obeying His word.
"The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works." - John 14:10
If we are "in Christ", we are moving with the most pressing speed, for we...
Ecc 10:10 - "If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success."
How many of us are exerting so much energy for the Kingdom, but are working with dull axes? We need to sharpen our spiritual lives - understanding God'sPURPOSE FOR OUR...
"There were many bones in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And the Lord said unto me, 'prophesy upon these bones and say unto them, Behold I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.'" - Ezekiel 37: 2,4,5
Look at those things over which you have lost your vision. Ask...
