Tap Into the Mind of the Spirit
"The (Holy) Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and...
More than Conquerors
"Nay, in all these things we are more than conqueror through him that loved us." (Rom. 8:37) In this scripture, to be more than a conqueror means to gain a decisive victory: that is vanquishing your enemy way beyond expectation, and to be more than a match for your...
God’s Word Never Changes
For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. (Ps. 119:89)I was preaching at a convention in St. Louis on one occasion. After the service was over, a gentleman stopped me in the lobby of the hotel to speak with me. He said, "I want you to meet my wife and three...
Freedom From Condemnation Changes Your Life!
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" (Rom. 8:1). One time during a service, the Spirit of God suddenly spoke to my spirit: There's someone here who fell several years ago and...

Step Across the Faith Line
"And being not weak in faith, [Abraham] considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God"...
Imagine Enjoying Life
Have you ever worried about something wonderful happening to you? No! People worry about tragedy and calamity. Worry is meditating on the horrible things that could happen. As believers, we probably don’t have trouble seeing ourselves enjoying heaven in the ages to...
He Leads In Triumph
"Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place." (2 Cor. 2:14) To triumph means to make an acclamatory procession, or to conquer. It is because of our union with Jesus that...
Do Your Friends See You as a Faith Person?
A few weeks ago I was talking with a man about the Bible. In the conversation he brought up a certain well-known minister and started making fun of him. He thought it was funny because this particular minister taught healing. Then he started going through the usual...
