Admit it! Quit it! Forget it!
"Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before." Philippians 3:13
Now, 'forget it' doesn't mean losing awareness of the event. That's amnesia! It means releasing the pain from the memory like you'd remove the poison from a snakebite. Allow all those unsettled and unsettling issues that keep holding you in the night and affecting you in the light to be broken by the power of God! If you are the…

Today's Prayer
Dear God, Communication is not always easy. You know that. You've seen, firsthand, how hardheaded and self-centered people can be. Please forgive me of not taking the time to communicate with you like I should. Even though you know what I think, you'd like to hear from me and communicate with me. I'm sorry. Right now, I am making a commitment to spend more time with you. Communication with other family members and people around me is difficult, at times, too. Help me to…

Today's Prayer
Dear God, When I look at the state of the world, the complacency of my neighbors, the lifestyles of sin that so many are involved in, and the attitudes and actions of young people today, I just wish I could do something to fix everything and make it good; something to help people, to point them in the right direction, to lead them to experience Your love, protection, and freedom. Please work through me; use my life to be a mighty witness and worker for a cause greater than…

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the
mouth of God.
Matthew 4:4
We are living in very serious times. We receive a steady diet of
hopelessness on a daily basis. It is time for us to wake up from our stupor and
focus on the things that matter. We are in a trance and have been
hypnotized by all of the "things" in this world. It is time for us to
scoot up to the Father's table and fill the hunger within our souls. We…

Resurrected Faith
"Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son" (Gen 22:10).
There are times in our lives when God brings a test to see if we are ready to put to death the very thing that God promised we would have. Such was the case in the life of Abraham with Isaac. Isaac was the promised son. Yet, God said to raise the knife to sacrifice him in obedience God.
When God brings such a test into our lives we usually have a choice. Neither…

Positioned for Blessing
Today's Scripture
"How good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity...for there the Lord has commanded the blessing..." (Psalm 133:1-3).
God loves you so much. He longs to bless you in every area of your life. Deuteronomy says that He wants to bless you when you come in, and when you go out. He wants to bless you when you're in the city, and bless you when you're in the country. He wants to bless and prosper everything…

So Far, So Good
"When we were children." 1 Corinthians 13:11 CEV
A well-known Bible teacher says, "As a new Christian...I tried to become what I thought all Christians were...I thought they'd mastered a level of holiness that seemed to elude me. I admired those 'faith heroes' whose flowery testimonies hung around the ceiling like steam gathering in a shower. They seemed so changed, so sure, so stable...I thought God's love was doled out according to a merit system. If I…

Going Boldly To His Throne
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16 (KJV)
We know that the Word is the power. But it is the power unto salvation. Now this word "salvation" here means more than just getting saved. The Greek word "salvation" gives you basically a 7-fold definition. It means deliverance, safety, preservation, healing and soundness.…

Dealing with Success
When Esther's words were reported to Mordecai, he sent back this answer, "Do not think that because you are in the king's house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?" Esther 4:12-14

True Success Begins In The Heart
All success begins with establishing deep-seated values. One of the most noticeable characteristics among leaders who have achieved some sense of wholeness is that they know who they are, what they believe, and for what they stand.
The poison of moral relativism and situational ethics continues to infect today’s global culture. As a result, we have witnessed an alarming deterioration in business and personal ethics. Over the years, the lines of…

Guaranteed Success in the Kingdom of God
How bad do you want to succeed in life? Most people want to experience success in their endeavors but they are really unsure of how to achieve the success they desire. According to the world's system, success is achieved by how hard you work, whether you have the right connections and whether or not you are willing to compromise at times. But God's formula for success is different. In the kingdom of God system, success is determined by three…

The Divine life within us comes from God, and is entirely dependent upon Him. As I need every moment afresh the air to breathe, as the s sun every moment afresh sends down its light, so it is only in direct living communication with God that my soul can be strong.
