I was in an airport one time, just sitting there looking at people. Have you ever noticed how people act when they get mad? My goodness, people get mad - especially, for example, if they don't get what they pay for. I saw this man at a hot dog machine getting mad...

I've learned to attack sin instead of waiting for sin to attack me. I remember this one time when I walked onto a plane, found my seat and was minding my own business. I was just sitting there, waiting for the plane to take off. In fact, I wasn't even paying...

My mother died on Easter Sunday when she was only 49-years-old. She was the single most powerful spirit-filled Christian woman I've known. She was a strong Bible-believing woman. She believed for a healing of cancer for herself and was healed of it...twice! That...

"To be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." (Rom. 8:6) My blood was boiling! There I was on my way to a spiritual meeting. Born again, spirit filled, and anointed of God for ministry - I was on a mission and late for my plane....

There's a storm blowing. It may have raging waves, and powerful winds trying to knock you off your feet. Perhaps the rain is threatening to flood your house, kill your crops, putrefy your water and wash out the road. "That's some storm, Brother Jesse. Is it a...

Have you ever faced a situation that threatened to shipwreck your faith? I'm talking about those times when your back is so far against the wall there is no way to retreat. When you've lost everything you own and it looks like you're going to lose your life. When...

Faith. Now there's a word that many actually consider to be a message that is at odds with God. But really, it's just about believing what God said. Faith isn't a "message" really. It's not a "movement" either. While there are some ministers who seem to specialize...

I don't know if you've ever felt so down that you just wanted to quit. Or, if you've ever looked around at your circumstances and thought, "There is just no way out of this situation." But if you have, you can understand the kind of "no-way-out" emotional dilemma...

I've come to know that we should never be afraid of expecting great things from the Lord. He is faithful! And He'll not be a debtor. He is able to provide more than enough to meet the need! We know that God is able to do more than we can ask or think according to...

When I was 17-years-old, I got a job with Texaco Oil Company. The year was 1967 and the oil industry was kicking at full speed. Jobs were everywhere along the bayous of South Louisiana and a kid like me could get a summer job working offshore on the drilling rig...

Have you ever had one of those days? You know the kind I'm talking about. Someone asks for prayer, and you don't feel like you could produce an ounce of spirituality as if you were washed, wrung out, and hung up to dry. I'll be honest with you, I've had my share of...
