The Word is Profitable when Mixed with Faith

People came to Jesus hungry, and they left fed. People came to Jesus sick and deformed and they left healed. People came to Jesus deep in sin and bondage and they left totally set free. We also know, however, that not everyone who lived in Israel at the time of Jesus was healed. There were

Faith Isn’t Surprised

As the early church was growing in the first century, Herod Agrippa, the grandson of Herod the Great, harassed many of the early church leaders. He killed James, the brother of John. He arrested Peter just because he knew it would please the Jews. After Peter was arrested, Herod the king put him in prison

He is THE God of Glory

Stephen said, “Brethren and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran” (Acts 7:2). God is not just a God, but He is the God. This scripture tells us that He is the God of Glory. If You are the God of

Why Would Anyone Give Up?

Over the years I have noticed that there have been a lot of people I’ve known who started living in the things of God and then at some point in time, they walked away and gave up. During that time I noticed several factors involved that can cause people to lose heart and give up.

Prayer Should Not Be Your Last Resort

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a very bad situation, and someone said to you, “Well, the only thing left to do is to pray”? How did you react? Did you think, “Oh my goodness, has it come to that”? Or did you ask, “Are things really that bad?” Unfortunately, that’s how

Releasing Your Faith Through Words

Proverbs 6:2 says we are snared by the words of our mouth, and we are taken by the words of our mouth. In Mark 11:23 Jesus said, “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes

Why Do We Talk So Much About Faith?

I am often asked the question, “Why do you talk about faith so much?” Well, the reason I try to study and talk about faith so much is because Jesus did. And I want to be like Him. Let me explain. When the winds of the sea were great and the disciples were afraid, Jesus

Walk by Faith, Not by Sight

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not
