The reason why the Gospel is the "good news" is because it reveals to us that the way we lived before we encountered the gospel was wrong and we don't have to continue to live that way, nor do we have to die that way. If the gospel of Jesus Christ has not had that affect on your life, you need to check to make sure you are receiving the true gospel, the "good news". Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose for our justification before God and he did this so that we can have acc

Sometimes I am amazed and I am including myself in this, at the surprise at how the adversary's confrontation and/or attacks paralyze and stuns us, Christians a.k.a. Believers. We sometimes act as though this is not right, yet we must remember that the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy, and it is Jesus who came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. The Lord is our Keeper and Satan the grim reaper. The name Satan means adversary and that is his characte

Trust in the Lord does not mean, I trust God, but...; it means I trust (period). There is some that may say, I trust in God, but I will do everything in my power as well. There is a very fine line to that statement. If we trust in God and do everything that we can, then everything that we are doing should also be coming from the direction the Lord through the Holy Spirit. However, if we are doing something outside the boundaries of God’s will such as lying, manipulating or

For a believer perspective and vision can mean the difference between obedience and sacrifice. In fact, perspective is everything for a believer. Hosea 4:6 represents The Lord's response towards His people whose perspective was polluted. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. Why did His people l

There is no end to seeking God, for He is endless! We can go after Him every day of our life and every moment of everyday, yet never exhaust His endless nature, His Splendor, His Glory or His word. God is an inexhaustible God, an everlasting Father, so continue. Continue in your worship, continue seeking His face and His presence. Study His word to make certain that your life and how you are living are measuring up to His standards and His plan for your life. Remove more of

1 Samuel 3:10 Now the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, "Samuel, Samuel!" And Samuel answered, Speak, for your servant hears. Have you ever noticed that whenever God chose to use someone in the bible, He always provided some sort of backdrop of who the person was somewhere in the story line? Whether it was their character traits which revealed their flaws, their history which presented an understanding of their lineage, how they arrived at the place they w

Let us not be fooled, everything that is transpiring today regarding these attacks are satanic in nature. There are spiritual ramifications to what is taking place and as a child of God there are ramifications in how we respond. Proverbs 18:21 declares that death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.. As children of the Most High God, we are His agents in the earth designated to respond with His voice and love through th

God Picked You! Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. In this season when we look at the story of the birth of Jesus, we marvel at the people God chose to bring about His ultimate gift of Jesus into the world. From Zacharias and Elizabeth, God chose a couple who was beyond the years of having children, yet His promise was that Elizabeth would have a son and Zacharias was

Who Is This? (Keeping The Right Perspective of Our Enemies) 1 Samuel 17:26 (NKJV) Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” From an outward perspective, David sounded like an impetuous young boy whose inexperience in matters of war should require that he remain silent. Aft

We will never be strong enough to do what God has called us to do by ourselves. God never designed us nor the circumstances, steps, plan and blueprint of our life to be completed by us alone. God designed us to require others, others to complete the vision and assignment within our life. God will not move on our behalf until we begin to reach out from ourselves, unite and become codependent on one another. – Psalm 133 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren
