Faith Cometh by Hearing
“Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom. 10:17). One of the greatest healing evangelists I’ve ever known once said to me, “I don’t understand it. I have laid hands on more than 2 million people. I’ve seen...
The Lordship of Jesus
“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:4). Some translations of Romans 10:9 read, “If thou shalt...
Faith vs. Fear
“And said unto them, ‘Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives'” (Acts 27:10 KJV). Many Christians need to understand the difference between walking by faith versus...
Much More Than Comfort
“You shall increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side” (Ps. 71:21). In the original Hebrew version, the word translated comfort is nacham (naw-kham’). It describes God’s response to our trying circumstances. One definition of nacham...

Don’t Miss an Opportunity to Act
“And [Jesus] was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and...
The Dominant One
“…Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh” (Gal. 5:16). I learned early in my Christian life to let my spirit, my inward man, dominate my outward man. So even as a teenage boy standing alone without the fellowship of other...
Healing Works From the Inside Out
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Cor. 4:18) Healing starts on the inside and then it appears or manifests on the...
Get an Attitude Check
There is a television commercial that says “attitude is everything.” Although they are advertising a worldly product, they still understand the principle that our attitude is important. It’s not true that attitude is everything, but our attitude...
