Devotions
Lions Go Hungry
“The Lord preserveth the faithful” (Ps. 31:23). It doesn’t matter how dark the world around us may become in the coming days. It doesn’t matter how hard the devil tries to bring us down, if we’re steadfast, dependable and trustworthy...
The Sleeping Giant Shall Arise
Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3 One thing that many have been praying and prophesying about recently is “the spirit of seeing and knowing.” That operation of the Holy Spirit (which the...
God Is Your Shield, Your Rock, Your Glory, and Your Refuge
Psalm 3:3 (KJV) But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. Psalm 62:7 (KJV) In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Sometimes you may feel as if everybody around you in the...
Faith Never Gives Up
Several years ago my wife and I had a weekly Bible study in our home. We would sit around the living room with our Bibles and study the Word of God. One evening we had a Methodist pastor, two Catholic nuns, an Assembly of God Sunday School teacher, a few Baptists...

“In the beginning (before all time) was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself… And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled—fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile—among us” (John 1:1,14...
Faith Released
“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he...
Prayer of Intercession and Thanksgiving
“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself (Himself) maketh intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered in articulate speech” (Rom 8:26 AMP). If you have...
Growth Through Teamwork
“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase” (1 Cor. 3:6 NKJ). Assuming leadership as pastor of a church put me in position to “do it all.” I picked up people in my car to bring them to church, then led the singing, made the...
