“Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me toContinue reading “It’s Called Resurrection Day”

Moving from Pressure to Peace
As a Christian, there is a strength that flows from our inner man that can overpower any enemy that comes against us. The source of that power is the Holy Spirit and the power is activated by faith in the Father. When I was a boy, I remember watching my mom cook with a pressureContinue reading “Moving from Pressure to Peace”
How to Build Confidence
Hebrews 10:35 says, “Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.” Confidence is a part of faith. If we have faith, we will have confidence. First John 2:28 says, “And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at HisContinue reading “How to Build Confidence”
Guard Your Hearing
“Then He said to them, ‘Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given’” (Mark 4:24). We measure everything we hear. When you take notes in church, you judge every statement made by the speaker and only writeContinue reading “Guard Your Hearing”
A Submissive Tongue
What you say is important. In fact, it is so important that our lives are better or worse because of the words we speak. Proverbs 15:4 says, “A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.” Our words are containers. When we speak, our words contain power — theContinue reading “A Submissive Tongue”
Socialized Immaturity
Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment (1 Corinthians 1:10). There should be no division within theContinue reading “Socialized Immaturity”
You Can’t Negotiate with Giants
“There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown” (Genesis 6:4). Because of the sin of man, giants were on the earth.Continue reading “You Can’t Negotiate with Giants”
What You Say Can Hurt You
If the devil can get you depressed, he can affect every area of your life. He can affect your physical body. He can affect your ability to be a witness to that neighbor or to that person on the job. He can even affect your ability to pray for somebody else’s healing. The devil wantsContinue reading “What You Say Can Hurt You”
Warrior or Worrier?
Fear will paralyze you and keep you from the victory that God has planned for you. Fear is a spirit and the spirit of fear is not from God (2 Timothy 1:7). Peace is a show of confidence. Peace is the outward manifestation of an internal confidence and confidence is the manifestation of pure faith.Continue reading “Warrior or Worrier?”
The True Cost of Unbelief
“But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14). One of the greatest hindrances to the manifestation of the power of God is unbelief. When Jesus could not do many mightyContinue reading “The True Cost of Unbelief”
