"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14
DESIRING HIS PRESENCE
It is certainly a time of calling upon the name of...
2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
As the glory of God comes, there’s also power. In Acts 1:8 it says, “But you shall receive...
Hebrews 4:1-3 - "Let us fear, therefore, lest haply a promise being left us of entering into His rest, any of you should seem to have come short of it....because they were not united by faith with them that heard. For we which have believed do enter into that rest.."
We speak, with Scripture...
Luke 14:28 - "For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?"
The parable of the man building a tower is a continuation of the teaching regarding what it takes to be a disciple of Jesus -- this parable stresses...
John 17:17 - "Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth."
John 8:32 - "If you continue in my word, then are you, my disciples, indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
We don't belong to sickness and disease. We don't belong to the money lenders. Debt...
John 16:14 - "He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you."
Christ promised that the Holy Spirit would flow as living water from those who believe in Him. The fullness of the Godhead dwelt in Christ in order that the life of the Godhead might dwell in us.
Each new...

Ephesians 4:1 - "As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."
Observing others can help us set the bar of excellence hight for ourselves. But at some point, there must be a breaking point -- where one respects, admires, and learns from...
In Ezekiel 37, the Prophet Ezekiel was carried in the Spirit to a valley of dry bones. These bones represented the house of Israel, but also speak of structures, as well as anything that has been dead for so long it no longer even resembles its former appearance. God led Ezekiel to walk around...
Hebrews 2:1 - "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip."
You can really slip into unbelief about the promises of God. And when you do, it will cost you dearly. Hebrews 4:11 tells us, "Let us labor, therefore...
Acts 9:6 - ..."Lord what do You want me to do?..." (NKJV)
As soon as Saul was willing to yield, he was in a condition where God could meet his need, where God could display His power, where God could have the man (Acts 9:1-22).
Maybe you are searching for God's purpose for your life. The place...
Mark 3:14-15 says, "Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach, and to have power to heal sickness and to cast out demons."
Luke 9:1 says, "Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to...
Psalm 62:5 - "For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him."
Our world today is very noisy, busy and at times stressful. When you feel stressed or frustrated, go somewhere that is silent -- your soul will begin to calm down. Inner peace and quiet are vital for hearing from...
John 7:38,39 - "Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive..."
Christ calls us to believe in Him, confident that the Holy Spirit will work powerfully in us...
Romans 8:11 - "If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you."
The measure of your true potential is in your spirit. God has always intended that we would...
Luke 13:16 - "And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
The teaching that says that sickness is actually a blessing in disguise, because the Lord is working His plan in one's life is not found in scripture...
Revelation 4:1 - "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven; and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, 'Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.'"
John is describing the ascended life.
John 3:13 -...
1 Corinthians 1:30 - "And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,"
Sanctification does not mean anything less than the holiness of Jesus being made ours manifestly.
The one marvelous secret of a holy life lies...
Jesus said to Nathanael, "You will see greater things than these...I say to you, you will see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man. - John 1: 50,51.
Most Christians see the heavens closed. Few see with open vision either into the heavenly realms...

Walk in obedience in the light you have. Take the time to listen and be responsive to the Spirit of God. When He tells you...
