Listen and Obey
Psalm 81:13-14 (NLT) But oh, that my people would listen to me! Oh, that Israel would follow me, walking in my paths! How quickly I would then subdue their enemies! God has not changed. He, to this day, still only asks of us to be obedient—to listen and obey Him,...

“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” (Jn. 15:16). It is time to produce...

Under the Shadow of His Wings
“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings…” (Mal. 4:2). One day I was meditating on the Word, when suddenly Malachi 4:2 rose up in me: “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of...
Don’t Let Your Past Mistakes Hinder You
