I enjoyed “taking-in” the true patriotism of this July 4th holiday in celebration of our country! I find myself extremely absorbed with thanksgiving to God for the privilege to grow up in the United States of America. Don’t you? What a great and awesome country!!! Today was just one day in 365 where the history of…
What is the most essential part to being a son of God? The Holy Spirit will lead you in the affairs of life. The Holy Spirit will always encourage you to see yourself righteous. I believe this is one of the most overlooked areas of the Spirit’s indwelling presence. Jesus said in John 16:8-10 concerning the…
I heard about an actor who was playing Hamlet, but doing it very poorly. When the crowd booed his performance he said, “Don’t blame me. I didn’t write this stuff!” The problem was not the script—it was him. The script God has given to you is His Word.
Because faith allows us to tap into the unlimited power of God, we can truly do anything. As John said, faith is what allows us to overcome the world. (1 John 5:4) Victory over the enemy has already been won. There is no doubt as to the final outcome of the battle. What we must…

Miracles are not supposed to be things that you only hear about happening to someone else; they are meant by God to be your own personal experience. We rejoice when God does great things for others, but often we do not really expect the same results in our own lives. Paul tells us in this…
The devil knows that if he can plant seeds of doubt in your mind, they will grow like weeds to choke your faith. Remember when Peter began to walk on the water? He stayed on the surface until he started to look at the waves instead of at Jesus. Once his focus shifted, the doubts…
You have been given a great inheritance as a child of God. You have been adopted into a royal family, and been given all the privileges and benefits of a child of the King. Yet the truth is that many believers live like orphans instead of fully enjoying their status. The enemy loves to convince…
All of us are living under the death sentence of aging. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 4:16 that while the outer man is decaying the inner man is being renewed day by day. No matter how long we live, one day our life on this earth will come to an end. Looking back, the question…
