What Are You Saying?

“Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.”  Psalm 50:23 God made us in His image.  He spoke all of creation into existence using His WORD.  What are we speaking into existence using our words?     The bible says clearly that life or death is set before us, blessings or cursing and that we are to choose life. (Joshua). Proverbs 18:20-21 says:   “A man’s…

How to Have Great Faith

“And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.  And straightway the father of the child cried…

God’s Grace is Sufficient

“And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will…

After God’s Own Heart

“And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them. 22 Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because…

Who Are You?

“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” Romans 8:15-17 If you were to pick the…

Waters in the Desert

“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:” Genesis 12:1 When God told Abraham to leave his home, God deliberately led him through the desert.  From the outside it appeared ridiculous to go from an apparent fertile land to a desert place.  However, when God knows where the wells are in the desert,…

The Prodigal Son’s Brother

“And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and…

God Will Work it for Your Good

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 Isn’t it wonderful to know that whatever the enemy throws at us as believers, God is turning it for our good?   Psalm 34:19 says: “Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.”   Yet, when God delivers, He never brings you…

Faith and Hope

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 Notice in the above scripture that faith and hope are interconnected. Therefore, it is important to understand what true bible hope and true bible faith are. First, let’s look at bible hope.  Many people have an incorrect idea of hope.  What they think is hope really isn’t hope at all. Bible hope is very different from worldly hope. …
