Enter Into The Holiest
“Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the Blood of Jesus,….” Hebrews 10:19…… Have you ever thought about how we enter the Holiest? We don’t physically go in there. I believe one of the ways we enter the Holiest is by our words. Our words of faith, our words of worship, and our words of prayer go into the Holiest…
Victory!
“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57…….. I learned early in my Christian life that if I was going to walk in victory I would need to do two things: I would need to stay full of the Holy Spirit and I would need to keep my mind renewed with God’s thoughts. Victory has already been…
Let the Word fight your battles!
“For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 NKJV……. One of the phrases that has helped me a lot over the years is, “Let the Word fight your battles for…
The Anointed One
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11…….. Merry Christmas! Who would have thought that just saying that would be controversial? The world (actually it’s the devil) would love to take the Christ out of Christmas. Even though the world, and even many in the Church don’t know…
Setbacks are only temporary!
“Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again but satan hindered us.” I Thessalonians 2:18…….. Have you ever felt like you’ve experienced a setback? That’s what the apostle Paul is talking about here. He had tried to go to the Thessalonians on more than one occasion but was hindered by satan from doing so. You need…
The Ministry Of Angels
“Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” Hebrews 1:14…….. Part of our inheritance as believers is the ministry of angels. Not only has God provided us forgiveness of sins, the new birth, the Holy Spirit, healing, but He has also made us inheritors of the ministry of angels. We can and…
God Never Changes!
“For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Malachi 3:6…….. One of the things that makes God who He is, is that He never changes. That’s one of His characteristics. People may change, circumstances may change, but God remains the same forever. There’s no variableness or even a shadow of turning in…
The Power Of Intercession
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men.” I Timothy 2:1…….. It seems that over the years the knowledge of the power of intercession has been allowed to slip. The knowledge of how intercession can change things. Of how it can change the lives of people, situations, and…
Angels
“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews 13:2…….. There are approximately 104 appearances of angels in the Bible and they are mentioned over 300 times! With that many appearances mentioned, and with that many references made to angels in the Word of God, we should expect their…
Instructions for Daily Victory!
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…. ” ~ Romans 12:2…. …but be filled with the Spirit…. ~ Ephesians 5:18 …….. These are two very vital instructions for every Christian. If you’re going to live in the fullness of what God has for you, you’ll need to follow these…
