God’s Plan To Defeat Our Enemies “Thus says the Lord, ‘Not my might nor by power, but by My Spirit.’” (Zechariah 4:6) How is Satan, the enemy of our soul, defeated? It isn’t through our own strength or intelligence. Pound for pound Satan has got us outmatched. The only way we defeat Satan is first […]

Highway to Holiness Without holiness there is no revival or renewal. Holiness is a key component, not only in the House of God, as Psalm 93:5 says, “Holiness adorns Your house, O Lord, forever,” but also in the heart of God’s people. The Apostle Paul said that God hasn’t called us to uncleanness, but holiness, […]

Power to heal One of the great needs of our day is that of healing, which isn’t just physical in nature, but also emotional and spiritual, and they are all interconnected. When a person is diagnosed with high blood pressure they are a candidate for a heart attack or stroke. This high blood pressure was […]

Patience: An Enduring Quality There isn’t a quality more needed today than patience. We live in a world obsessed with time management and getting things done as quickly as possible.

Restoring the Fallen The Bible tells us not to criticize, condemn, or complain about those who are overtaken in sin, but rather to restore them. “Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.” (Galatians […]

Submarined There’s a word in today’s vernacular describing what happens when someone is attacked without provocation. We call it being “submarined.” It means to be attacked by surprise, to be set up, or ambushed. It means becoming disappointed by having your hopes and dreams attacked and sunk. But this is something we do to ourselves […]

Thus Far The children of Israel were continually under the thumb of the Philistines, lamenting and mourning over their condition. So through Samuel the Lord gave them a promise. “If you return to the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, and prepare your hearts […]

Outrageous Faith Thinking about Noah and the Ark I began to wonder about how outrageous faith is. Faith is something that’s completely against all reason and logical thought.
