  • The Holy Spirit in You

    The Holy Spirit in You

    Many Christians seem to have the idea that the Holy Spirit is an "it," a manifestation of the power of God or the gift of tongues. But the Holy Spirit is none of these. He is the third Person of the Godhead, a divine Person with a plan for our lives. And He doesn't come…

  • Surrounding Our Schools With Prayer

    There is a mandate before God's women to storm heaven with prayer for the protection of our children and our nation.

Instead believe God will demonstrate His power…

  • God’s Timing Is Perfect

  • A Laugh a Day

    In a sense, a pure and hearty spell of laughter defeats the devil because it mocks his assaults against our joy. It isn't folly, but rather an act of faith in our Father's ability to take care us. Seek out opportunities to express and share your joy. After all, Psalm 2:4 says, "The One enthroned…

    Run to the River

    The natural importance of rivers is evidenced in the role they’ve played throughout human history as the center of a civilization’s life and industry.

  • Stripping Off the Mask of Pride

    Stripping Off the Mask of Pride

    It is all too common for a marvelous move of the Spirit to come to a halt due to the efforts of men and women to control it. Pride is the fastest way to find oneself estranged from God's will because God sets Himself against the proud. Read 2 Chron. 32:24-31, Ps. 138:6, Prov. 8:13;…

  • Don’t Just Take It, Take It Back

    We are co-heirs with Jesus to the kingdom of God. However, we have an enemy who so envies our position that he will stop at nothing to rob us of every present and future joy and blessing. We need only "fight the good fight of faith," remembering that ultimately the victory belongs to God and…

  • Someone Is Following You

    In a classic hymn, Charles Wesley wrote: "To serve the present age, my calling to fulfill. O may it all my pow'rs engage to do my Master's will." When we give our lives to God fully, we offer our gifts to serve Him and our generation. There is always someone observing our conduct and our…

    How I Overcame Spiritual Abuse

    It was my hunger for God that opened the door to spiritual abuse in my life. As strange as that may sound, it’s the truth. From the time I was a small child, I sought God and hungered for an intimate relationship with Him. I wanted desperately to please Him. I did not realize then

    Stop Doing Everything on Your Own

    This is what Paul and Silas told the Philippian jailer who asked them, "What must I do to be saved?"
