Christian Edification

Micah 2:13 AMP - "The breaker [the Messiah, who opens the way] shall go up before them [liberating them]. They will break out, pass through the gate and go out; so their King goes on before them, the Lord at their head." The Lord is going before you right now with new power to break things open...

"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...

Philippians 4:13 in the Amplified declares, "I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency]...” This is the glorious mindset of an overcomer -...

Psalm 18:19 - "He brought me out into a spacious place." In this season you're going to find yourself in the front, where many will see and be blessed by what you carry and what God has developed in the secret place. This will also require you to carry yourself differently, and think of...

Proverbs 18:21 - "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." This season is going to be a season for your mouth to declare what you have seen and heard in the spirit. Make sure that your words line up to His Word! You cannot waste any more...

Have as little to do with the world as you possibly can. Things of the world have a glutinous quality; if you let the heart lie any while amongst them, it will be enslaved to them. Be more and better acquainted with Jesus Christ; get nearer to Him, be more in communion with Him -- get more...

John 15:5 - "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." When we stay fresh in the Spirit of the Lord, we also will grow in our relationship with the Lord. He empowers us to press through all obstacles...

2 Corinthians 3:18 - "And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." Steady yourself and stand firm, open your arms and surrender to God's purpose for your life...

Hosea 2:16 - "'It will come about in that day,' declares the Lord, 'that you will call Me Ishi....'" Ishi, in Hebrew, is a name which means, "my husband" and expresses the intimacy of a close relationship. You might be in a desert, but the desert doesn't have to be in you. Jesus said there are...

Isaiah 60:1 - "Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord]; for your light has come, and the glory and brilliance of the Lord has risen upon you." Revelation is the seed that impregnates you with expectation. The two always go...

1John 2:27 “But the anointing that you received from Him abides in you..." We want a pure river flowing from our hearts. John, the revelator, spoke of a pure river, pure as crystal (Revelation 22:1). He spoke of how the river was flowing out of the throne and out of the Lamb. The anointing...

Genesis 12:1 - "The LORD had said to Abram, "Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you." God is calling us to boldly follow Him into the unknown. As we do, we will be brought into a whole new place! The very things that many Believers have been...

In Joshua's day, before crossing the Jordan River and moving into their inheritance, God said to the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you" (Joshua 3:5). This is an exhortation for us today! DRAW NEAR TO GOD The word consecrate, in Hebrew, is actually...

Ephesians 4:24 - "and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness." Avoid a negative and introverted attitude caused by an overemphasis on inner healing. Instead, focus on your new nature in Christ. A spiritual consciousness of your new nature...

1 Corinthians 2:9 - "That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.'" He is lifting you up higher to see the new things that He has prepared and planned that are coming through for you...

John 15:5, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” The Lord Jesus gives us this divine union by the Spirit so that we can be fruitful. All the vine has is made available to the branches -- to give us what we...

1 Corinthians 11:28-30, "But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep."...

Woe to you, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David settled! Add year to year and let your cycle of festivals go on. Compare this with verse 11. He gives us the scroll and we can’t read it because it is sealed up. Every year they kept the cycle of festivals not realizing that they depicted...

Phil 1: 3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, 5 for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until...

Genesis 39:20,21 - "Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, the LORD was with him;" No twist or turn—not even abuse, slavery, slander or imprisonment—could hold back the fulfillment of God's...
