In a world full of cursing and blaming God for all the mess the world is in, it is time for believers to shout loudly and bless the Lord by declaring Who He is and all the wonderful things He has done. We must not forget any of His benefits and tell anyone willing to Hear how great and how good God is!
When we feel the most like running away from God's embrace because of feelings of guilt, failure, and discouragement, is the very time we need to run to God and hide ourselves in Him. In our times of lowest lows, we need to have a strong tower out of the reach of the enemy. Our Heavenly Father is our Strong Tower and Hiding Place!
All believers have at one time or another cried out in a moment of a faith crisis, "Jesus, I believe, but help my unbelief!" Jesus has a deep compassion for our struggle, but He also wants to impart the strength we need to grow our faith for Little to Great.
Before Jesus' own resurrection, He demonstrated the power of God in His statement to Martha, the sister of Lazarus, who was raised from the dead, when He said, "I am the resurrection and the life". The resurrection of Jesus was not an event in history to be studied, but a life to be lived. Jesus is the Resurrection!
Jesus said that the defining mark of His disciples to distinguish them from all others would be tied to the way they would love one another. This is a remarkable statement. Of all the ways that followers of Jesus can be identified in the world, the way we love the other members of the Body of Christ defines our Christianity.
It is so easy to forget the simplicity of God's Word when it comes to the complexity of ministry of healing. Faith is always based on what God has said, not on our experiences or lack of them regarding healing.
Is it really possible to think like Jesus and to be able to know the mind of God? Or, is this a truth that is only available once we enter eternity? Tune in to find out more.
Jesus described His Holy Spirit in many different ways. One of the most important descriptions is that of an Advocate. Tune in to fine out more.
Pockets of revival are breaking out all over the nation. I share some insights about what God is doing through the Asbury Revival and the Jesus Revolution movie. I believe that a major part of the coming outpouring of God's spirit will be a renewed understanding of the fear of the Lord. We look at the lives of Abraham and Moses to see what the fear of the Lord looks like and how it leads to true friendship and intimacy with God.
As believers, can we really trust our hearts? Do we constantly have to battle with believing that we are hearing God's voice and not being deceived? Having a new heart and a new spirit gives us the confidence that God hears us and we hear Him!
The accounts of Jeusus' ministry in the New Testament say that Jesus went around to all the cities and villages preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom. This was Jesus' gospel, which included demonstrations of works of power and miracles. Any presentation of the Gospel must include the Full Gospel, which includes demonstrations of power.
Was Jesus really serious when He told His disciples that they would do greater works than He did? And if he was speaking literally, how did Jesus intend for this to happen? Tune in to start digging for the answers.
What did Jesus really mean when he told His disciples that his Father's house has many rooms? Is this referring to heaven and a mansion that is there waiting for us after death? Or, was Jesus referring to something completely different? Tune in to find out!
What does real biblical faith look like? We look at Hebrews 11 to see many examples of faith being exercised and see that faith equals trust and obedience. We then turn to Jesus in the garden to look at what true submission to God looks like. It's God's will above our own that is the key to understanding the mysteries we face in life.
When the Body of Christ recaptures the proper honor and reverence for God's presence and respect for His Word, the result will be a revival of righteousness that will open wide the gates of God's Kingdom to the multitudes of people poised for salvation. The Church seems always to be waiting for God to send revival. Perhaps, God is waiting for His Church to go and bring revival to a world waiting to see the righteousness of God on display through His people.
If we are to have any lasting change in the way we approach life, especially how we view God, we are going to need a powerful reformation in our respect for His Word. God has declared He has exalted His Word equal to His Name. That's a very powerful statement, and one that is worthy of total respect for all who want to take God seriously!
Any authentic and lasting revival that is to come through the church must be preceded by a renaissance of reverence for God and His ways. Too many times the church cries out for God to pour out the blessings of revival on a church that has become too familiar with God's presence through a lack of reverence.
Anyone who plays a musical instrument knows that without proper tuning, no matter how good of a musician is, the music will sound awful. There are times when God must tune His people and His church so we are in harmony with His will and purposes. With the world in a state of chaos it is time for the people of God to sing the chorus of heaven - in tune!
The only way to rid your life of shadows is to have the sun directly overhead. The prophet Malachi declared: "But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture. (Mal 4:2 NLT). The SON of righteousness has truly risen! So, if you are still groping in the shadows of gloom it is because you have not positioned the Son directly overhead as Lord over your life.
What happens when we become passive about what God has called us to do? We look to the life of David as an example of what happens when you embrace a passive spirit. As believers we are called to transform our culture, and we each must have a biblical worldview to effectively do that. Now is not the time for passivity, now is the time for action.
