Grace Will Shake Your Life
"By the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me" (1 Cor. 15:10). Brother Paul wasn't just using a figure of speech in this...
New Creature
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Cor. 5:17) Anyone who belongs to Jesus Christ is a new person, a brand new creation that didn't exist before they came to Jesus. Through the...
Walk by Faith
For we walk by faith, not by sight. (2 Cor. 5:7) In 1971, I was preaching at the First Assembly of God Church in Pasadena, Texas. I had known the pastor of that church, Rev. R.V. Kemp, and his wife for a number of years. His wife had been operated on twice for...
Use Your Authority
"And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven" (Matt. 16:19). Many times wrong thinking opens the door to the devil...
A Still, Small Voice
"A still small voice" (1 Kings 19:12 NKJ). The Hebrew word translated still here comes from the root word damam (daw-mam') which is an imitation of the sound made with the mouth shut, such as dmmmm or hmmmm. It applies to the sound made by one who is lost in wonder...
Stir Up The Gift
"Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands" (2 Tim. 1:6). Why did Paul tell Timothy to, "stir up the gift of God, which is in thee…"? He told Timothy that because the gift of God in...
Let God Do It His Way
"Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored, and you shall be clean. But Naaman was angry" (2 Kings 5:10-11 AMP). So often we miss out on what God wants to do for us because He doesn't do it the...
Finding Happiness
Proverbs 3:13 says, “Happy is the man who finds wisdom....” The wisdom of God is one of the most precious commodities in existence. Wisdom is what gives us the ability to properly apply the knowledge we attain from God’s Word. This is what makes finding wisdom so...
Healing Is the Work Of Jesus
"The news about Him spread throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He healed them." (Matt. 4:24 NASB) As the news about Jesus spread throughout the...
Are You Skilled in the Word of Righteousness?
There are many people who say, "This faith thing doesn't work. I tried it once and it just doesn't work." We don't just try God. We receive the Spirit within us. We don't test and try. We don't just try faith. We're either in faith or we're not in faith. We either...
