New!

2 Cor.5:17 “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” [with emphasis].

 

This is one of my favourite passages of Scripture. In fact, the first book I wrote, New Creation Reality, was based on this passage of Scripture.

Time & Trouble

Ex.20:13 “You must not murder. 14 “You must not commit adultery.”

 

God’s commands are also His promises. We touched on the beauty of this in yesterday’s devotional.

Do You Believe?

Mark 16:17 “These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them…”

 

These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe…” [with emphasis]. The Bible does not say that the miraculous signs will accompany those that are in doubt or those that are afraid. You have to hinge your confidence on Jesus and in the Word of God. Read the rest of this entry

The First SELF

Eph.2:5That even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)” [with emphasis]

 

The first “self” that you and I need to take to The Cross so that the power of resurrection can flow through us, is Self-righteousness. One reason we do not experience the fullness of Christ is that we think we are not so bad. Read the rest of this entry

Solid Rock

Num.22:17 “I will pay you very well and do whatever you tell me. Just come and curse these people for me!” 18 But Balaam responded to Balak’s messengers, “Even if Balak were to give me his palace filled with silver and gold, I would be powerless to do anything…” [with emphasis]

 

I declare over you today that in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, even if your enemy were to give their life’s worth to priests, or ritualists, or to wizards to curse you, they will be powerless to do anything against you. Read the rest of this entry

Backed Up

Jer.1:18-19 (MSG) “Stand at attention… I’m making you as impregnable as a castle, Immovable as a steel post, solid as a concrete block wall. You’re a one-man defense system… They’ll fight you, but they won’t even scratch you. I’ll back you up every inch of the way.” God’s Decree.”

 

God is going to crush every resistance of and every affliction from the enemy in your life, in Jesus Name. When you begin to become, expect resistance – just expect it. Jesus says, “I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail.” Read the rest of this entry

Living Witness

Acts1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth [with emphasis]

 

Jesus is all about proving that He is alive and well. We have heard several testimonies of people that plug in to services in God’s Favourite House online and God delivers amazing results right there in their living rooms. Someone joined one of our communion services online. Read the rest of this entry

Body of Proof

1 Kings 18: 36 “…O Lord …prove today that you are God in Israel… Prove that I have done all this at your command. 38 Immediately the fire of the Lord flashed down from heaven and burned up the young bull, the wood, the stones, and the dust. It even licked up all the water…”

 

In God’s Favourite House, we are totally grateful for the Presence of the Holy Spirit and we are grateful that at every meeting, it pleases the Holy Spirit to deliver the burden of proof that He is alive. The burden of proof is His way of saying, “I am alive, I am here and I am in charge.” Read the rest of this entry

Ability

Acts1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” [with emphasis]

 

When Jesus says, “…you will be my witnesses, a lot of people think that all He is referring to is evangelism. Yes, it is evangelism but there are deeper implications. Jesus is saying to us, “You will receive power to become all that God has destined you to become. Read the rest of this entry

You First

Acts1:6 “So when the apostles were with Jesus, they kept asking him, “Lord, has the time come for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?” …8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses…” [with emphasis]

 

Everyone that followed Jesus while He walked the earth, even the people that followed Him closely, had an agenda for Him. And it was because they saw Jesus as a political deliverer, so there were very many attempts to make Jesus king. Read the rest of this entry
