(PART 1) Forgiving our own past mistakes sometimes proves harder than forgiving the sins of others. However, Jesus' blood cleanses us, and we need to accept His provision.

We live in a generation obsessed with the supernatural. Christians must resist pressure to misuse the prophetic. God wants to speak to each one of us personally.

(PART 1) At this hour God is exposing religious pretension in the church. We have pursued images of perfection rather than relationships with God, and it is time to repent.

Devotion to God means more than regular church attendance or fancy prayers. Jesus taught that devotion evolves from a lifestyle of humility and service to others.

Many of us have lost our perspective on pain. We expect only good things from a good God and do not realize that God can make good come from even our worst situations.

(PART 1) Male dominance in society and the church has caused many women to devalue themselves. Low self-esteem produces many problems and is not God's will for women.

God is not finished with the Jews or the land of Israel. Knowing God's heart means recognizing and supporting His special plans for these chosen ones of old.

When we become Christians, God invites us to feast on Him. We refuse to eat when we are sick or distracted. The more we know Him, the more we hunger for Him.

Like Fenelon, we've all had occasion to be ashamed when we've looked back at the behavior we exhibited when going through difficulties. How poorly it attests to our faith. But weathering storms changes us forever, not just by developing our spiritual muscles, but also in terms of solidifying our certainty of God's awesome love and…

High-speed communication has provided us with the means to reach more and more people with the gospel. Yet the same technology is being used to destroy the souls of men and women who are tempted by ungodly pleasures and entertainment. We must as women of God labor to "keep [our] hearts with all diligence."

What folly it is for us to attempt to gain our own immortality through what we possess or the things we do. God blesses us with the tools to build His kingdom. How tragic when we instead employ them in building our own! He blesses us to enjoy our achievements and the products of our…

Often it's said that no one backslides overnight. We become accepting of our decreased interest in prayer and spiritual disciplines, and we gradually begin to take steps away from God. Without a conscious decision to increase in spiritual passion, we will slowly begin losing the desire we have. Then it becomes easier to tolerate carnal…

Joy is a fruit of the indwelling Spirit. Why then should there be a struggle to protect it? Daily we are forced to choose how we'll respond to circumstances that have the potential to destroy the peace God intends for us to have. Knowing those attitudes that war against the Spirit of God in us…

All of us have had to deal with baggage from the past--things we either willfully or innocently were a part of that we fear will disqualify us from being blessed and used of God. The infirm woman in Scripture is an illustration of perseverance. Though she had experienced incredible indignities and isolation because of her…

We've all had the experience of being touched so powerfully by the Holy Spirit that we knew instantly everything would change from that moment. Throughout our time on earth there can be many life-changing encounters with the Spirit of God. Often we may be tempted to question whether a permanent impartation has taken place. Scripture…
