You Are an ‘Anointed!
"You hold a sacred appointment, you have been given an unction - you have been anointed by the Holy One" (1 John 2:20 AMP). We've thrown around the word anointing in religious circles for years without really understanding what it means. But if we're to walk in the...
Abiding In The Vine
"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me." (John 15:4) The branch of a fruit tree cannot produce fruit unless it stays joined to the tree trunk. Likewise, we cannot...
The Curse of the Law
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. (Gal. 3:13) The Bible says that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law. What is the curse of the Law? Well, the...
Jesus Purchased Our Physical Healing
"Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted" (Isa. 53:4). Let's take this Scripture apart word by word and examine it closely. "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows."...
Innermost Praise
"Let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name" (Heb. 13:15). A sacrifice is something of value which is freely given up by one person in order to please, enhance, or benefit another. Jesus' death...
Lay Aside Every Weight and Every Sin
"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us" (Heb. 12:1). This verse clearly tells us to...
My Spirit Prayeth
"For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful" (1 Cor. 14:14). God is a Spirit. Man is a spirit. God contacts us and deals with us through our spirits. He leads us through our spirits. He does not communicate directly...
Keep the Weeds Out
"So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground" (Mark 4:26). Jesus compared the kingdom of God with the planting of seed and reaping the harvest. It's a simple concept. One all of us understand. Why, then, aren't all of us producing bumper...
Living From Crisis To Crisis
Too often, people look to God for the wrong thing. Most people love miracles, and I do too. Yet, we are not to live for miracles. Miracles are a result of a crisis. When people do not live by the laws of God when a crisis comes, God promises that He is on their...
No Hold On Us
"I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me" (John 14:30 NKJ). Here the Lord Jesus is talking to His disciples about the enemy, Satan - he has nothing in Me, He tells them. No power, no dominion, no mastery,...
