Controlling the Tongue

James 1:26 says, “If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.” Your mouth can cause you to make your religion useless. You can go to church every week and be a Bible scholar, but if your mouth is speaking

The Promises Are Not the Covenant

Let’s talk about how Jesus is the Passover Lamb. In Leviticus 23:4-5 it says, “These are the feasts of the LORD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover.” The Passover represents and memorializes the deliverance of the Hebrews

The Blood of Jesus Has Power

Hebrews 12:24 says, “To Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.” The blood of Jesus is much more powerful than the blood of Abel or that of bulls and goats. Under the new covenant, the blood of Jesus is the only

It’s Never Too Late

Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Do you want joy in your life? Proverbs 15:23 says, “A man has joy by the answer of his mouth …” The Word of God is telling you your life is determined by

Understanding the New Covenant

The Word of God shows us how the New Covenant differs from the Old Covenant. In the Old Testament, the Israelites understood that killing an animal and applying the blood was the way God ratified covenants. But in the New Testament, we are under a different set of rules. Hebrews 8:6 says the New Covenant

A Virgin Mother and a Heavenly Father

After Mary, the mother of Jesus, was betrothed to Joseph, but before they had marital relations as husband and wife, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Her husband, Joseph, was a good man and did not want to bring public disgrace to her. He had thought of a plan to secretly

Eternal Life, Health, and Prosperity

Jesus became our substitute and redeemed us from the whole curse of the law. The curse, and how Jesus redeemed us, basically consisted of three parts.           The curse: 1) Spiritual death           2) Sickness and disease           3) Poverty           The redemption:           1) Eternal life (Hebrews 9:12)           2) Health and healing (1

Agreeing with the Word of God

As a minister of the gospel, my responsibility is to repeat what God says in His Word. I must do what He says to do, and I must say what He says to say. His Word is His will. Look at the confidence God allows us to have in what we say when we speak

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

Don’t Touch Me

After the crucifixion of Jesus, He descended into the grave and was resurrected. One place in the Bible tells us that He was resurrected by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:11). Another tells us He was resurrected by the glory (Romans 6:4). And yet another place in the Scripture says He was resurrected by God the
