“For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So Shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I…
“Be carful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 Having the peace of God operate in our lives is critical to having a successful life.

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Mathew 11:28-30 What does it mean when Jesus says to take his yoke upon us? To understand this, we need to know what…
“And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint…” Luke 18:1 Prayer is a powerful tool in the kingdom of God. However, just like any tool, you must know how to use it properly. You would not use a wrench to put nails in a wall, nor would you use a hammer to attempt to loosen a bolt. The same is true with prayer.…
“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:34 One of the greatest deceptions the enemy uses to hinder believers, is the same one he used in the Garden of Eden. When he lured Eve to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, he did his best to get her to have the wrong image of herself. Genesis 3:4-5: “And the serpent said unto the woman,…
“…for I am the LORD that healeth thee.” Exodus 15:26 Faith begins where the will of God is known. It is so important to know God’s character and His will for your life. In the above scripture, the Lord reveals Himself to His people as the Lord that Heals. Therefore, it is important to know that healing is God’s will for you. Disease, sickness and lack are not from God. In John 10:9-11 Jesus informed…
“And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard [the Word], go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.” Luke 8:14-15 When Jesus teaches this parable of the Sower, He addresses what…
“And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also; Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.” Acts 17:6-7 Paul and Silas came to Thessalonica and preached about Jesus in the synagogue for three sabbath days. A great number…
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah…Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of…
“Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye?…
