Devotions
He’s Coming Back for You!
“Therefore, since these [great] promises are ours…let us cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates and defiles body and spirit, and bring [our] consecration to completeness in the (reverential) fear of God” (2 Cor. 7:1 AMP). The King...
You Have to Believe Before You Receive
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (Mark 11:24) I remember saying to the Lord in my spirit, “Lord, this woman is the pastor of a church, and she’s standing in the...
Be Satisfied with Good
“A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompense of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him” (Prov. 12:14). “A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth.” Or you could say it another...
Draw Me, Lord – Part One
“Draw me, we will run after thee…” (Song of Solomon 1:4). We are told in the New Testament to draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to us (James 4:8). In this verse, the bride (a symbol of the Church) says to the bridegroom, “You do the...
Positioned for Blessings
“And the Lord God took the man and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it” (Gen. 2:15 KJV). To dress means to work, to serve, and to till. To keep means to watch over and to preserve. God put the man in the garden and gave him a job....
Blotted Out
“I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins” (Isa. 43:25). “I guess I’m just paying for the life I lived before I got saved,” a minister who was having a hard time once said...
Why Did God Create You?
“What we have seen and [ourselves] heard we are also telling you, so that you too may realize and enjoy fellowship as partners and partakers with us. And [this] fellowship that we have (which is a distinguishing mark of Christians) is with the Father and with...
Drawn Away By Distractions
We will never hit the bull’s eye until we know what the target is. The kingdom of darkness designs distractions to detour us from our course, to get us off track. If he gets us off course—focused on something other than our assignment—he doesn’t have to be...
The Holy Spirit — God’s Powerhouse
“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” (Rom. 8:11). I’ve heard people say, “Well, miracles...
Avoid Complaining and Arguing
Philippians 2:14-15 (NLT) In everything you do, stay away from complaining and arguing, so that no one can speak a word of blame against you. You are to live clean, innocent lives as children of God in a dark world full of crooked and perverse people. Let your...
