John 8:32 - "If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples. And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free."
SOME HAVE THOUGHT BEING NICE WAS OF THE SAME ESSENCE AS KNOWING THE TRUTH. IT IS NOT. WE CAN THANK OUR PARENTS THAT WE ARE NICE BUT, IF WE WOULD KNOW...

Sometimes the events of life seem to...
Matthew 6:13 - "And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
There is no temptation or sin in heaven. This prayer does not imply that God wants to tempt us. We know from James 1:13 that it is impossible for God to entice us to sin.
This kind of...
Isaiah 52:1 "Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments..."
God wants us to be awakened to Who He is, His Person, His love, and His Presence. In the Parables of Jesus, we see how important it was to Him that we be awake, that we would not be caught by surprise...

For many of us, we have experienced a wilderness while fulfilling God's purpose for our life. We feel lonely, barren, and...
Your longing for heaven is good because it is an extension of your yearning for Jesus. Many Christians have misunderstood this word hope, believing that it denotes wishful thinking. Nothing could be farther from the truth!
The phrase “hope of heaven” highlights the benefits you can enjoy even...
"I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in Me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in Me and believes in Me will never ever die..." John 11:25-26
Jesus, the Son of God, came to manifest what He is and has always been – Resurrection and Life! Jesus did not come to...
Ephesians 1:17,18 -- "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling.."

I am like a tree firmly planted by streams of water which yields its fruit in due season; my leaf does not wither and I prosper in whatever I do; because my delight is in You Lord Jesus. (Psalm1:2,3)

"Catch the foxes for us, The little foxes that are ruining the vineyards, While our vineyards are in blossom." - Song of Solomon 2:15
Ask the Lord to reveal to you the little foxes that are trying to crush the vine that will bring forth the new wine. Get an understanding of your Christ...
John 14:6,7 - "Jesus saith unto him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him."'
Unless we can be corrected, unless we are seeking...
Performance is a very hard taskmaster. In fact, under performance we can never do enough. For us to believe that God only loves us or approves of us because of what we DO for Him rather than WHOSE we are, is to actually demonstrate that what Christ did on the Cross is of no effect! In other...
2 Corinthians 11:2 - "I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to Him."
The Bible is a book of reversals. Old things become new, the dead come to life, the lost are found. Even those who were the...
"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of...
Revelation 1:6 - "And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve His God and Father -- to Him be glory and power forever and ever! Amen."
Mary was chosen to bring forth the Son of God into the world in human flesh. Jesus Christ was a living, breathing move of God. Every place he went...
Revelation 4:6 - "Before the throne, there was, as it were, a sea of glass like crystal."
The glass sea is a symbol: there are no ripples, no waves, no anxieties troubling God. The Lord is never worried, never in a hurry nor without an answer. The sea around Him is perfectly still and totally...
The Holy Spirit’s desire is that we live every day in the fullness of the Lord, by seeing above and beyond what we can do, and that Jesus would receive glory and honor through His great power that works in us and through us.
This is the essence of what Paul writes about in Ephesians 3:20, 21 -...
