Devotions
He Really Is Good
“The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works” (Psalm 145:8-9). If God ever filed suit for defamation of character, almost everyone on the planet...
The Great Eternal Shepherd
“Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord.” (Heb. 13:20 NASB) God desires us to be at peace with Him and also with everyone else. We can do that...
The Law of Faith
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. (Rom. 3:27) At the same meeting in which I laid hands on the seventy-two-year-old man, I laid hands on his pastor. But the pastor did not receive healing. Five years later,...
Don’t Just Listen – Hear
“And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them” (Luke...

Our Choice
For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better....
Addicted to the Word
“Ye know the house of Stephanas…and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints” (1 Cor. 16:15). I want you to begin to develop an addiction today – an addiction to the Word of God. That may sound odd to you, especially...
Bitter Rejection And Disappointment
The anointing He has placed within us can be dipped into the waters of life to turn the bitter waters sweet. Bitter rejection and disappointment is turned sweet when the Spirit of understanding floods our being. The bitterness of confusion, depression, or...
Choose Life
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live” (Deut. 30:19). A number of years ago I heard a certain minister say,...
