“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:36 As we celebrate our nation’s freedom this month, let us be reminded of the freedom we already have in Christ. Galatians 3:13-14 tells us: “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come…
Psalm 46:10 When we think of being still, often it’s the idea of being quiet so that we can hear the Lord more clearly. Yet it is so much more than that. When we read the entire Psalm, it speaks of trusting God in very difficult situations. The Psalm calls us to have no fear, being confident that the Lord of Hosts is with us. In this context, being still means to cease from fear…
“And let us not be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9 Throughout our lives we might take vacations from work to refresh and recharge. However, when it comes to our faith walk, there is no such thing as a faith vacation. At times, people grow weary of the constant tests of faith. They believe God to overcome in one area, only to be challenged…
“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.” Isaiah 60: 1-3 The darkness does appear to be getting darker. However, that means…
“Finally brethren, be strong in the Lord, and the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:10-12 The key to winning any battle is to know who your enemy…
“And He said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. Again He said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live…” Ezekiel 37: 3-5 Throughout the scriptures, God uses His people to…
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh; (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” 2…
“Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food. Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life.” (NLT) There are a multitude of ways to spend our time, whether it’s with family, friends, work, hobbies or more. Yet, it is vitally…
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body…
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ…” 2 Corinthians 10: 4-5 A major part of achieving the victory in our faith walk has…
