Flesh Crucified

Do you want to be blessed?  Of course, you do.  We all do.  None of us really likes to think about it, but one of the surest ways to be blessed of God is to do just what Jesus did.  Deny yourself.  Deny your flesh.  It’s not that God doesn’t want us to have any… Continue reading Flesh Crucified

The Joy of the Lord

We’re coming to the close of our discussion about what to do when we feel overwhelmed.  The fourth pointer God spoke to my spirit was, “The joy of the Lord is your strength (Neh. 8:10).”  That’s such an often-quoted Scripture, but what does it really mean, and what is the practical application of it?  I… Continue reading The Joy of the Lord

Speak Life and Truth

We were in the middle of the four pointers God spoke to my spirit about what to do when you are feeling overwhelmed.  Number three is “Speak Life and Truth.”  I capitalize “Life” and “Truth” because there is a difference between worldly truth and the results it brings and Godly Truth and the God-Life it… Continue reading Speak Life and Truth

God is for Us

Do you know that God is always for you?  Scripture says that if God be for us, who can be against us (Rom. 8:31).  Does that mean that He agrees with everything we do?  No, because we make mistakes and wrong choices, and He cannot agree with things that we do that contradict His character… Continue reading God is for Us

Reset, Restart, Refresh

It’s time to reset, restart, refresh!  It’s time to walk away from all the issues of the past and get a fresh start with God!  If you are burdened down by the mistakes of your past, the opportunities you feel you have missed, the things you wished you would have done differently, close that book! … Continue reading Reset, Restart, Refresh

Perfect Love

What is faith?  It’s very simple really.  It’s just knowing in your heart Who God is and how much He loves you.  Once you have a true revelation of His great love for you, you will be able to believe for anything!  Be like John.  Remember throughout the Gospel of John, it says “the disciple… Continue reading Perfect Love

Hope Meets Earth

What is hope?  Hope is your spirit reaching out to all the forces of Heaven to believe that good will result, that your dream will be fulfilled, that your hurtful circumstance will turn to joy.  Hope is your heart saying I will not fear; I will believe; I will find a way.  Hope is a… Continue reading Hope Meets Earth
