2 Timothy 1:11,12 - "And God chose me to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For this reason, I also suffer these things..."
The reason Paul was never defeated by satan's attacks is that he had made a decision. He decided he would not stop or give up until he had...
1 Corinthians 5:9 - "I wrote you in my previous letter not to associate closely and habitually with unchaste (impure) people."
The company you keep has such an influence on your spiritual life. If you want to walk in the things of the Lord don't choose friends who talk and act ungodly, who...
Joshua 1:9 - "Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
By far the greatest gift ever received by us is the Holy Spirit Himself. Those who discover the value of His presence enter...
Romans 12:3 - "For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith."
Some believers will learn a little about faith and put it into practice. But...
"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 from the Lord, the Spirit." - 2 Corinthians 3:18
We are born into this world into an earthly realm. We are not born into the realm of God's...
"The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand..." (Deuteronomy 28:8).
Notice that YOUR HAND, releases God's provision in your life. God has commanded His blessing on everything you put your hand to do. You may have found yourself in waters...
Romans 8:18 - "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation of (the glory of) the sons of God to be revealed."
The word "glory" means the "true nature" or full essence of a thing. In other...
Luke 13:20,21 - "To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened."

Mark 10:48 - "And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, thou son of David, have mercy on me."
Bartimaeus (the blind man) is a good example of an active kind of faith. He was not passive in his approach toward healing. When the crowd ridiculed him...
"...He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors." (Isaiah 53:12)
Truly, intercession involves more than just prayer—intercession can be literally translated, "to come between" (see Strong's #H6293). So while Jesus does intercede for us at the right hand of the Father...
"The truth is, not that Moses gave you the bread from heaven, but that My Father gives you the real bread from heaven. The bread that God gives comes down from heaven and brings LIFE to the world......I am the bread of LIFE. Whoever comes to me shall never be hungry, and whoever believes in me...
Once God moves you to a new place, the old paths and ways simply don't work anymore! If you continue to try to go the same way as you always have, you will stub your toe! You will run into walls and possibly even dead ends.
God is saying today that He has moved you to a new place! You no longer...
Acts 2:38 - "Peter said to them, 'Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'"

2 Corinthians 4:13 - "We have the same spirit of faith as he (the psalmist) who wrote, 'I have believed and therefore have spoken.' We too believe, and therefore we speak.'"
To speak by faith is simply to speak words that agree with the word of God instead of the circumstances around you. It's...
Psalm 73:25 - "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you."
Because God alone is God, and the only one who is truly adorable, He has the right to claim us wholly for Himself. Without an appropriate surrender our part, He cannot manifest His power. As fully as God...
Zechariah 10:7 - "And they...shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine..."
Joy and praise together release strength on the inside of you and power on the outside. Psalm 22:3 says God inhabits our praises. When God's presence begins to come into our midst, our...

"It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and it shall be lifted up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it," - Micah 4:1
Climbing or ascending the Lord's mountain means that we:
have a...
Luke 2:19 - "But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart."

Refocus on God and His purpose for your life. Every battle is not...
