"..therefore be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus." - 2 Timothy 2:1
God's grace is undeserved, this means that God's goodness is not expressed to each of us because we are good; it is given to us because He is good! Sometimes it's hard to even wrap our minds around this fact. This is...
When Jesus came, He proclaimed, "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17). " At hand" means that God's kingdom is close enough to touch from where we are. Yet it must be fought for aggressively and attained with perseverance.
"The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence," Jesus taught, "and...
"Truly, truly, I say to you , he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." - John 14:12-13
God did not create us to be casual...
Ephesians 3:19 - "That you may really come to know through experience for yourselves the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge (without experience): that you may be filled (through your whole being) unto all the fullness of God (may have the richest measure of the divine...
Revelation 3:7 - "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, 'These things says He who is holy, He who is true, "He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts and shuts and no one opens."
TAKING HOLD OF THE KEY OF DAVID
The key of David is our entry into the...
My soul waits in silence for God only; from Him is my salvation from anything that comes against me. (Psalm 62:1)
He alone is my rock and my stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken. (Psalm 62:2)
I trust in Him at all times and pour out my heart before Him for He is a refuge for me. (Psalm...
We see that the engine of the Gospel message that drives it into the world--is His presence and glory. It is not a tantalizing self-induced experience that produces no fruit, but rather an illuminating light which leads the world to Jesus and becomes the pillar of fire that leads His Church into...
He is my Victor, the Captain of Hosts, Mighty in battle. He is my Banner, and He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Jesus is crowned with glory and honor; He is my Savior, Sanctifier, Redeemer, and the merciful and faithful High Priest.
He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the...
We need to stir up the holy gifts within us - they (THE GIFTS) begin to be released again when we remember God's goodness to us; when we learn to meditate in our hearts on His past faithfulness and His love for us.
Hindrances to Heavenly Access include:
FORGETTING GOD'S PAST FAITHFULNESS...
Mark 11:13 - "And seeing in the distance a fig tree covered with leaves. He went to see if He could find any fruit on it. But when He came up to it, He found nothing but leaves for the fig season had not yet come. And He said to it, 'No one ever again shall eat fruit from you.'"...
It's time for the Bride to make herself ready and there is a haste of the hour to do this. It's really a time to hear what the Spirit is saying and move on HIS direction, HIS voice (Isaiah 55:11), and not the voice of the world that comes from fear or the wisdom of man – which is opposite to...
"I write to you to stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance." - 2 Peter 3:1 See how David calls upon himself, "Awake my glory!" - Psalm 57:8. And see how Deborah calls upon herself, "Awake, awake, Deborah, awake, awake, utter a song." - Judges 5:12.
Awaking is a word that implies...
"If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." - Luke 9:23
Each of us has a promised land for our lives. God's promises are key to us entering into the vision that God has given us. If you are in a desert God is ready to take you out --...
Even when I am afraid, I still trust you. What can man do to me? Psalm 56:3,11
For your Word O God, I give you praise, for you have kept my feet from stumbling so that I could walk in your presence, in the light of life. Psalm 56:4,13
I will praise you, Lord, for everyone to hear, and...
Song of Solomon 2:9 - "Behold, He is standing behind our wall, He is looking through the windows, He is peering through the lattice."
Yes, Christ dwells within us, but He is standing behind our "walls." The walls between us and the Savior are primarily the work of :
Unrenewed...
He turns our mourning into dancing and girds us with gladness.
His voice is powerful upon the waters, full of majesty, like thunder, it breaks the cedars, divides the flames, shakes the wilderness, makes the deer give birth, discovers the forests, and sets the mountains in their place.
His...
Getting in touch with God's PURPOSE for our life can have the single most powerful impact on our own life after coming to Jesus and being born again. All Christians are called to be witnesses, but we also have a CALLING in Christ that is more specific than that.
The main factors that...
Are our eyes toward Jesus in our prayers, praises, public, and private duties? Is there an effectual impression on the heart. Are we walking in His purpose for our life -- ie. have we picked up our cross and are following Him? Do we intercede for those who are not yet believers? Is the love...
Haggai 2:9 - "The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts."

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...
