‘Lord, Bless Me!’
“Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine” (Prov. 3:9-10). Have you ever wanted God to bless you? Well, sure you have! But...
My Life Is Over
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (Col. 3:3 KJV) If we have died with Christ and have been raised with Him, we certainly don’t have any identity of our own to preserve. All of our human efforts to embellish our standing with God or...

Accompanying Signs
“These signs will accompany those who have believed: in my name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues….” (Mark 16:17 NASB) Jesus told us that everyone who believes Him would be able to do some wonderful things. We will have...
