“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?…
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Two keys to winning in life are patience and perseverance in the things of God. Therefore, it is important to learn what patience is and how to successfully persevere. One dictionary definition of patience describes it as: “The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.” However, biblical patience…
“And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together thou, and Aaron thy brother and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.” Numbers 20:7-8 After the Lord had delivered the Israelites out of Egypt with many mighty signs…
“…but the just shall live by his faith.” Habakuk 2:2b Some Christians believe that faith is simply believing in Jesus. However, it is so much more than that. Faith is acting on what you believe. Mark 4:35-40 says: “And the same day, when the even was come, He [Jesus] saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took Him even as He was…
