Meditations

Luke 17:18 - "Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” All ten lepers needed physical healing and Jesus was moved with compassion and met their needs. He also desired to meet their spiritual needs, but only one out of the ten came back to give thanks. Being...

Psalm 91:1 -- "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the almighty." Jesus lived a life of prayer, and when He needed dedicated prayer time He would send crowds and, most likely, potential resources away so that He could be with the Father. As a...

If you are willing He takes you to a place to reposition you – to open your mind and open your eyes and open your ears and open your understanding; to take you out of the land of snares, and traps. He fills the graves of broken dreams, broken promises, broken relationships -- those who have been...

2 Timothy 2:8 - "Constantly keep in mind Jesus Christ, the Messiah, risen from the dead." AMP Remember that when Jesus arose, you arose. When He came out of hell and defeated the enemy, you came out of hell and defeated the enemy. His victory is your victory because you're in Him. In the hard...

Matthew 4:1 - "Jesus was the led away by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil." The word "tempted" actually means "tested or proven in adversity." Before Jesus was led to do wonders, He was led to do battle. The Father proved the character of His Son through conflict. It...

Ephesians 4:32 - "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." Our forgiving someone doesn't have anything to do with what that person did or didn't do to us. We forgive them because of the blood. God honored the blood and forgave us. For us not...

Luke 6:8 - "But He was aware all along of their thoughts..." God always knows all of our thoughts. Our blessings and our problems are rooted in either right or wrong thinking -- we reap what we sow. Thoughts are seeds that produce a harvest in our lives. If we want to have more peace or be...

John 10:27 - "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." Isaiah 50:4 - "He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to hear as the learned." Hebrews 5:11 - "Concerning this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull in your (spiritual)...

The Lord does not call you to walk your walk alone. He has not called you to walk through testing, trials, and triumphs, alone. He has not caused you pain that was unnecessary. He has not given you more than you're able to carry -- within yourself you must learn -- 'Lean upon Him.' Today is the...

1 John 4:4 - "But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world." You may hear some Believers use the phrase, "I suppose I'm doing pretty well under the circumstances."...

Christ Jesus warns us that a time is coming when many will fall prey to fear and panic because of the things they see coming upon the earth. (see Luke 21:25-28) LIVING IN PERFECT PEACE True tranquility of soul, genuine godly peace, is only found in the person of Christ, not in some ritual or...

Hebrews 12:2 - "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Notice Jesus is the "Author." What does that mean? It means your faith originated...

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 - "All athletes are disciplined in their training...So I run with purpose in every step...I discipline my body like an athlete training it to do what it should. Otherwise I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified." You may not feel like a person...

Ephesians, 3:16 in the Amplified reads, "May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His Glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the Holy Spirit {Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality." We can live in the Fresh Anointing that brings...

1 Kings 19:9 "Then he came there to a cave and lodged there; and behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?" Elijah had come to Horeb and lodged there in a cave. Soon, the word of the Lord came to him, “what are you doing here Elijah?” Three...

Luke 6:46 - "Why do you call Me, Lord, and do not practice what I tell you?" It is dangerous for one to think that they are spiritually mature because they attend a lot of church services, have a large library of Christian books, and read their Bible regularly. The proof of our true spiritual...

Jeremiah 29:11-13 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all...

Psalm 80:19 - "Restore us, O Lord God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved." Revival and restoration are much needed. And both are possible. God longs for us to claim His promises and exercise our right as members of the royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). He waits for us...

Luke 9:54 - "When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?" Jesus healed all who came to Him -- no exceptions. He also healed all the Father directed Him to heal. Setting another standard than what Jesus gave us is...

Mark 4:35,37-40 -- 35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” 37 A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. 38 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and...
