Weary of Worry “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.” (2 Corinthians 2:14) As you fight the good fight of faith today, remember this: Your mind is where the battle will take place. Whatever you allow to captivate your mind will rule your life. Will it be the Word of God or the lies of Satan? The decision is yours. If you want...

Beyond What You Can Ask or Think “I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all.” (1 Corinthians 14:18) Few things in the Bible have created more fuss than the issue of speaking in tongues. Churches have split over it. People have been persecuted for doing it. People have even been killed for it. Who’s behind all the trouble? Satan himself. He’s so frightened of our ability to pray in tongues that he’s...

Punch a Hole in the Dam “So [Israel] came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote the [Philistines] there. Then David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the bursting forth of waters; therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim(Lord of breaking through).” (1 Chronicles 14:11) Like the bursting forth of waters. I love that phrase! It paints such a powerful and accurate picture of a breakthrough. Do you...

Free From Debt! “The borrower is servant to the lender.” (Proverbs 22:7)If you’re up to your neck in debt today, I have good news for you. God wants to set you free from those debts and He has the power to do it. I know. He did it for me. I’ll never forget it. I had $22,000 worth of bad debts at the time. I’d committed to God to pay them off and never borrow another dime–but it looked to me like...

Up in Smoke “The tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.” (James 3:5-6)Words. Use them right and they’ll move mountains. Use them wrong and they can cause your entire...

Don’t Think Like the World “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)If you think like the world thinks, eventually you will act like the world acts. Unrestrained...

God is Healing Our Land “Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid.” (Romans 3:3-4)Faith-filled words. That’s what changes things. They’ll move mountains into the sea. They’ll turn sickness into health. They’ll turn a sinner into a saint. They’ll also take a sin-ridden nation and turn it into God’s own country. That’s right. Then, if we believers would back...

God’s Discipline “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?” (Hebrews 12:6-7)There’s a terrible misunderstanding among believers today about God’s method of disciplining His children. They’ll point to some kind of disaster– a tornado or a car...

Be Unreasonably Committed “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.” (Proverbs 4:7-9)If you really want to get the wisdom of God, you’ll have to do more than casually read the...

Later is Here! “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household?” (Matthew 24:45)The Word tells us that God shows Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are “perfect” toward Him (2 Chron.16:9). That word “perfect” doesn’t mean that we have to do everything just right and live without making a mistake. Thank God, we don’t have to do that. It...
