Matthew 3:11 - "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and with fire." OH, HOLY SPIRIT....OH, FIRE! THAT SO INTIMATELY AND TENDERLY PENETRATES THE...

Matthew 14:26 - “To this Jesus replied "it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." IT IS THE PRIVILEGE OF CHILDREN TO EAT AT THE TABLE WITH THEIR FATHER AND FROM HIS DISH, WHICH IS TO SHARE IN HIS SPIRIT; BUT THE DOGS MUST EAT THE CRUMBS THAT FALL FROM THE...

The Lord challenges many in coming out of familiar places into new territory. It is part of the reality of coming into that "Promised Land" (God’s purpose for your life) that so many are hoping and praying for as Believers in Christ. It is up to US to take that step of faith out of our...

We must position ourselves in the place of purity and humility so that the Lord may entrust us with an impartation of divine wisdom—the wisdom from above. Ask God to release a greater wisdom, as we are instructed to do in James 1:5. Ask the Holy Spirit of God to awaken your heart and life to...

We Believers will be sent into the darkness of situations, events, and circumstances to declare with authority, "Let there be light," and light will be released to set captives free, to shine on the harvest, and release it from the enemy's grip! And now, in this "kairos moment" of His-story, God...

"There is a season for everything, and a time for every event under heaven." - Ecclesiastes 3:1 We can't shift our seasons – God does that. But we can create a climate that invites Him to do the work in our hearts that prepares us for the next season. After weeks of praying in unity, "SUDDENLY...

Arise, Shine! "It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ." - 2 Thessalonians 2:14 The Word of God states plainly -- no, it actually commands those alive at the end of the age to be fearless in the face of darkness! Speaking through...
