Some believers struggle with pity and overvalue emotion. Scripture reveals that faith, more than tears, moves the heart of God. The Lord wants to develop an intimate, mature relationship with these emotionally-driven believers, but unless they die to self-pity and selfishness, their...
Leave outcomes up to God. Follow the Holy Spirit wherever He leads, without worrying about how it will all turn out. Think of your life as an adventure, with Him as your Guide and Companion.
Live in the now, concentrating on staying in step with Him. When our path leads to a cliff, be willing...
LETTING GO OF THE OLD
LETTING GO OF THE OLD
When God calls us to do something new, we often have to forget..........................
God promises to give us a firm foundation in shaky times, and He also promises to make our feet like those of a mountain deer, able to not only stand on this firm foundation but scale the highest heights of the Spirit – above the chaos of this world. Christ warns us that if we build our lives on...
When you are around other people, you may tend to cater to their expectations—real or imagined. You feel enslaved to pleasing them, and your awareness of His Presence grows dim. Your efforts to win their approval eventually exhaust you. You may offer these people dry crumbs rather than the...
The first step out of darkness and despair is simply asking for God's grace and guidance. Sincerely seek His direction and His will above your own. We must desire to walk in God's light (see 1 John 1:5).
Asking is key; we have not because we ask not. If we ask, we shall receive. As we seek, we...

"When Eliab, David's oldest brother, heard him speaking with the men, he burned with anger at him and asked 'Why have you come down here? And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the desert? I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is; you came down only to watch the...
"Let there be light; and there was light." - Genesis 1:3
What God wants in the earth today may not be in sight. But when His Word goes forth, it becomes a reality. He is looking for vessels through whom His Word will be spoken so that He can do what He has not yet done.

As you look at the day before you, you see a twisted, complicated path, with branches going off in all directions. You wonder how you can possibly find your way through that maze. Then you remember the One who is with you always, holding you by your right hand. You recall His promise to guide...
Approach problems with a light touch. When your mind moves toward a problem area, you tend to focus on that situation so intensely that you lose sight of who you are in Christ. You pit yourself against the difficulty as if you had to conquer it immediately. Your mind gears up for battle, and...
It's time to break out. It's time to step on up and come out of the "house" into the streets. It's time to take authority over your circumstances. No more self-abasement, nor more thinking, "I can't do this." You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Elijah's mission was to...
He loved us enough to leave His Father in Heaven, and He expects no less from us - asking us to abandon all other loves for Him. As His followers, we are to treat everything else as lesser in comparison to Him, the greater.
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his...

Bask in the luxury of being fully understood and unconditionally loved. Dare to see yourself as He sees you: radiant in His righteousness, cleansed by His blood. It is His Life within you that is changing you from glory to glory. Rejoice in this mysterious miracle! Thank Him continually for the...
James 1:2-4 says, "Consider it pure joy when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."
When you encounter trials, tribulations...
Those who were close to Lazarus had tightly wrapped and bound him. Jesus commanded them, "Unbind him, and let him go!" Lazarus had to be untangled before he was free to see, walk with, and touch Jesus again. Get free from everything that hinders your ability to hear, see, touch or walk with God...
