Encouraging Thoughts

Ephesians 6:17 - "And the helmet of salvation..." If your salvation is not worn tightly around your mind like a helmet, the enemy will come to chop the multiple blessings of your salvation right out of your theology. He will try to hack away at your foundation, telling you that healing...

Romans 8:11 (NASB) - "But 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." We have that same Spirit of God, His "Resurrection Power," indwelling within us...

James 1:22 - "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." One of the greatest enemies of faith is what is called "mental assent." People who operate in mental assent read the Word and think they believe it. But when pressure comes, they don't act on it. Real faith...

Galatians 5:25 – “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” John 16:13 – “However when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth.” Jesus ignored what His natural eyes told Him, and He declared what His spiritual eyes saw. He saw the heart of God and...

"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 3:8 - "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." The wind is known by its sound, and by its effect. Whenever the Spirit moves there is a spiritual sound coming from the...

The tendency to embrace the concept of God being an angry Father is done in equal proportion to a person's inability to demonstrate His power. There is a connection between our belief system and what actually flows through us. If we don't see Jesus' life as the ultimate illustration of the will...

I am thankful that God in all his mercies, has led me on a path of learning, understanding and growth through circumstances, divine appointments, and encounters with mighty men and women of God throughout my walk with Christ. Growth can be an exciting adventure as a new believer and coming from...

Security of the One Who Trusts in the Lord. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!” 3 For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper And from the deadly...

Since I've had a lot of spare time on my hands due to the pandemic, I have been able to do things that I was not able to do before. Like read the bible more often. It has surprised me how much I have gotten out of reading God's word. Although I have read the bible through, it always amazes me...

By Victor Remes ‘He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High. Psalms 91:1a Right, in case you didn’t know and was wondering why there are queues outside your local supermarket; people wearing masks and rubber gloves. Well, it’s because we are in a season of a complete nationwide...

Paul’s teachings were neither hypocritical, nor paradoxical. The Fifth Commandment states that we are to honor our parents. Children are commanded to obey their parents even when they disagree with them. To obey their parents is to obey God. Let’s say a parent tells a child to steal, should the...

I don't care if it rains or freezes 'Long as I got my Plastic Jesus Sittin' on the dashboard of my car. Comes in colors, pink and pleasant Glows in the dark 'cause it's iridescent Take it with you when you travel far. Get yourself a sweet Madonna Dressed in rhinestones sittin' on a Pedestal of...

Mark 14:55-64 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. ...For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. (Would bold if I knew how in blogs) For many bare false witness against him, but...

John 6:29 [29] Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. “This is the work of God, that you believe on him whom he has sent.” A lot of discussion on “work” never coming to any agreement. All I can share is my own experience and it is...

John 8:41,51 [41] Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. [51] Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. What are His sayings? Colossians 3:8-9 [8] But now ye also put off all...

Equality and Equity. Two words. It wasn’t until the other day that I learned the two are not the same. The focus of this post is the one I didn’t understand...Equity. Equity is giving everyone what they need to be successful. Of course that is googles definition but it helps give perspective...
