Psalms 133:1-3, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended...
"Someone living on an entirely human level rejects the revelations of God's Spirit, for they make no sense to him. He can't understand the revelations of the Spirit because they are only discovered by the illumination of the Spirit." (1 Corinthians 2:14 TPT)
This is a new day (2022). The Lord...
Psalm 145:4b, "and shall declare Your mighty acts."
It says in 2 Chronicles 16:9 that He looks to and fro to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are loyal towards Him. What would it look like for God to show Himself strong on your behalf? Wouldn't you like to find out?

Psalm 22:3 says that God is enthroned upon the praises of His people. The throne of God literally rests on the praises of His people.
What does that look like?
When we begin to praise God with the understanding that He is the great King of Heaven and we worship Him with this attitude and...
We don't rejoice for the battles as we are advancing His Kingdom, but we exalt in the victories that are already won in Christ. It's in times of adversity that millions, great multitudes, will come to know Christ Jesus, as many as the sand which is on the seashore (Genesis 22:17-18).

The Holy Spirit within us wants to use us to properly do battle against the enemy...
O that God would stir our hearts with passion; that we would encounter Him with such abandon, that we could all say: "God, I'm as hungry for You today as I was at any other time in my life!"
Psalms 42:1-2, "As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts...
O Lord, You are gracious to me and raise me up as I consider the helpless; you set me in your presence forever. (Psalm 41:1,10,12)
As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for You, O God, My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; (Psalm 42:1,2)
God is my refuge and...
The early Church did something that few do today or even know about—they ministered to the Lord.
Salvation is more than a legal exchange affecting our position before God. Salvation also includes the exchange of deep loving affections and adoration. God first communicates His enjoyment...
"Jesus said to them, 'My Father is always at hs work to this very day, and I, too, am working.'' - John 5:17
Because we are so prone to neglecting and forgetting about the needs of other people, we think that God is capable of being slothful toward us. And so we accuse Him of neglecting us...
Hebrews 11:1 - “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen."
That word "evidence" means an outward sign or indication. Faith is something that furnishes proof. Faith is not an obscure or intangible concept that a Believer's hope will bring change. Rather...
John 5:19 - "The Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, that the Son does likewise."
Jesus told us the secret for His Life -- "I only do what I see my Father doing." Our attention is on what God is doing or has done. If we dwell on...
2 Timothy 1:9, "God...who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began."
The term "holy calling" could also be interpreted as "sacred DESTINY." The Lord considers it...
“Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past." - Isaiah 43:18
It is time to shake off the discouragement, shake off the hopelessness, and shake off the despair. Shake it all off by getting into His presence and praising Him and moving into the expectation of a new glory...
We must not look at the pressures of our times as though they were obstacles set to restrict us. For in the hands of the Almighty, these are the very tools He is using to perfect us.
But the same Spirit that predicted the perilous conditions at the end of the age also forecasts that, in spite...
Romans 12:2 -- "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
The renewing of the mind is not merely that we can be positive thinkers. It is because God is wanting to build...
Philippians 3:14 - "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
A season of trials is a SEASON of promotion. You will triumph if you don't quit, because God only allows you to face what you are prepared to face with Him. That measuring line is almost...
