Transitions
Mark 4:35-41 Jesus wanted to take His disciples through a transition and in the same way the Holy Spirit wants us to make transitions. In Mark 4:35-41, the “other side” represents our God- given destinies, the plans and purposes of God for our lives. In vs. 35, Jesus says, “Let us cross over to the other side.” ‘Transition’ is a passage from one state,
Exposing The Enemy
2 Corinthians 2:11 There is a satanic attack against the Christian in these last days. Satan is doing everything he can to get you to backslide, everything he can to keep you from going forward. In fact, there are many Christians that Satan has contained and has kept ineffective and powerless in these last days. He knows that his time is almost up, so
Soaking In the Secret Place
Acts 10:9-16 Cornelius had a vision of an angel and the Lord told him to call for Peter. Cornelius sent a soldier and two servants to go find Peter. There are many lessons that can be drawn out of this story in Acts 10. Let’s focus on this one: Peter went up on the housetop to pray – the secret place! In his personal
The Prayer of Hannah
1 Samuel 1:1-18 Prayer is communication between man and God. One of the ways your request, desire or expectation can be granted is through prayers. The Bible says we should pray without ceasing. That is, we must pray in and out of season. The Word of God stated in James 5:16, ‘That the effectual and the fervent prayer of the righteous availed much’. That
Restoring Vision
Haggai 1:1-14 The word restore means, “return something to previous condition: to bring something back to an earlier and better condition.” I believe that the church in general is in need of restoration. Personal spiritual restoration and cooperate spiritual restoration. There needs to be a restoring of the anointing of God in our lives, the church and in our ministry. There needs to be
Knowing God And Making Him Known
The Reward Of Worship Is Knowing God And Making Him Known Philippians 3:1-15 When we speak of knowing God, it is important to understand that we are not talking about abstract or speculative thoughts concerning God or mystical experiences; but about coming alive to God through Jesus Christ and surrendering ourselves to Him in grateful love. (Rom. 12:1) As John says, “Whoever has the
What Happened To Our Families?
1 Kings 22:51-53 Parents, guardians and grandparents have a big influence on their children. .Ahaziah was the 9th king of Israel. He was the son of Ahab and Jezebel. He followed policies which showed evidence of his mother’s pagan influence. After reigning only two years, he “fell through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria” and was seriously injured. Sending his messengers to
He is Risen
John 20:1-18 Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! The resurrection of Jesus Christ is central to the Christian faith as it proved that He was exactly who He claimed to be and had accomplished what He came to accomplish. When the price for a valuable item is paid a receipt is given as proof of payment. The resurrection is the receipt that the
Identity Focus: I Am God’s Poem
Key Scripture: Ephesians 2:10 We are unfinished poems composed by the Master Poet. Sometimes, it seems that the events surrounding us don’t rhyme with how we think things should be. But He is far wiser than we are. When the day is done, we cannot imagine the beauty that He has done in our lives. His ways are always right. For we are God’s
Recipe For Miracles
Genesis 22 Habakkuk 1.5 says, “Look . . .and watch- and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” In short, God is saying “Expect a miracle.” The first ingredient is to TUNE INTO GOD’S VOICE (Gen. 22.1&2) We have a tendency to tune out God’s voice and listen
