When Jesus went to the synagogue in Nazareth, the attendant handed him the book of Isaiah, and Jesus began to read. He said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,...
For some reason, I regularly receive mail asking this one question. Is it God's will that we be physically well? Does God want to heal me? And what if God is trying to show me something by making me sick? These questions have been around since Jesus was here on...
People came to Jesus hungry and they left fed. People came to Jesus sick and deformed and they left healed. People came to Jesus deep in sin and bondage and they left totally set free. But we also know that not everyone who lived in Israel at the time of Jesus was...
How many times have you heard someone say, "I'll forgive you this time, but you owe me?" The reason they feel the person owes them is because in reality they haven't forgiven that person. If they would have truly forgiven them, then they would have "canceled the...
"Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content; I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need" (Phil....
All my life I've heard grace defined as God's unmerited favor, and that's absolutely true. But it is so much more. Have you ever had something you needed to quit and you wanted to quit, but you just couldn't give it up? Have you ever had something you needed to do...

One of the greatest tools that a Christian has is the Law of Agreement. In Matthew 18:19, Jesus said, "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask it will be done for them by My Father in heaven." If you speak and agree...
"For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels" (Mark 8:38). When Jesus comes back, He is going to come in glory. The...
What is the glory of God? The glory of God is simply the presence of God manifested. In Old Testament times the scripture says that the glory of God filled the temple so strongly that the worshipers could not see. The glory was like smoke or like a cloud. The power...
Have you ever stayed "in faith" for something and prayed and prayed and prayed and it seemed like nothing happened? It just seemed like it was never coming to pass. When Jesus spoke, things happened instantly. Why did Jesus' faith work instantly, but sometimes it...
