Devotions
Choose to Be Faithful and Obedient
Psalm 103:17-18 (NLT) But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him. His salvation extends to the children’s children of those who are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandments! Salvation is extended to our...
Surviving the Counterattack
“Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). It’s the moment we love more than any other – the moment of victory. It’s the moment when our healing manifests and the symptoms of sickness finally disappear. It’s the...
The Helmet Of Salvation
“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” (Eph. 6:17) The helmet of salvation is fundamental for every Christian. It is essential for us all to have the knowledge of our salvation to cover our mind and...
Don’t Be Moved by What You See
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Heb. 11:1) Back when we were pastoring, I remember a woman who brought her mother from another county to see us. Margene brought her mother, who was sixty-seven years old and had been...

What My Heart Says
But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth” (Deut. 8:18). I knew a man down in East Texas whose family was so poor that he didn’t have a pair of shoes until he was 12 years old. He had only a fifth grade...
A Living Example of Love
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” (Rom. 5:5). Don’t ever worry about not having enough love inside you. The Word says God’s love is shed abroad in...
Set the Stage for Success
