Hot-Headed Fools

Proverbs 14:17 tells us that a quick-tempered man does foolish things, but in verse 29 it says that a patient man has great understanding. I have been told through the years that when someone is quick-tempered, we should always take that into consideration during their moments of anger. Being quick-tempered does not give you a

How to Receive the Holy Spirit

When Jesus was on the cross, He made a profound statement when He said, “It is finished” (John 19:30). All of the work that He had been sent to do by His Father had been completed. He preached the gospel to the poor, He healed the brokenhearted, He proclaimed liberty, He healed the blind, and

The Answer to Every Question

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” (Romans 8:14). Within the mind of God is the answer to every question. With His voice He speaks all knowledge and wisdom. His Spirit is the power to solve every problem known to man. Through my many years of

Understanding the Deep Things of God

Throughout my years of theological study and as a pastor, I have encountered countless people who have the attitude that the knowledge of God can never be understood by man.

The Revelation of the Mysteries of God

“The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints” (Colossians 1:26). God is eternal. He has no beginning, and He has no end.

Don’t Limit God to What You Understand

The Scripture tells us in Acts 2 that we can receive the Spirit of God through a second infilling. We receive it in the same way we received salvation. We must believe the Holy Spirit is here for us in order to be filled, but nothing new has to take place in the spirit realm

Where Will You Be in a Million Years?

I have something to ask you. Where will you be in fifty years? Will you still be alive? Well, that’s possible, but what about in a hundred years? Will you still exist, or will you just be nothing? Will you be like an old bar of soap – all used up with nothing left and

The Invisible Barrier of Faith

When the apostle James was writing to the church, he said to consider it all joy when you encounter various trials (James 1:2). We are in a time when many people are experiencing various kinds of trials in their lives. But as you experience problems in life, whether they are physical, financial, or emotional, you

God Was There First!

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters. In the beginning, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were at creation and everything that was created, was created
