The Power II
“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you” Rom.8:11
The Resurrection Power gives you and I power to live. And with the power to live comes the power to love. That power that God has given you is the power to love. “And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love” Rom.5:5 [emphasis added]. Everyone that has experienced the Resurrection Power has their hearts filled with love, not hate, Read the rest of this entry
Risen!
“The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” Luke 24:5
“Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” This is such an amazing statement. These women meant well; they did not mean to insult Jesus. I have news for you today. Mark today’s date in your diary. There are well meaning people that will come and look for you in the grave but they will discover that the tomb is empty. They will discover that God has resurrected you from the place they kept you. And if God will open their eyes to see, the angels will say to them, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” They are so sure that they Read the rest of this entry
The Reason
“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you” Rom.8:11 [emphasis added]
Jesus is coming again! For those of us that have our faith in Jesus, this is what keeps us going. The fact that Jesus is coming again and this physical body will be changed. I do not know about you but I want to be raptured. I want to experience rapture. I want to be alive so that when the trumpet sounds, I will know how it feels to just… That would be awesome! Paul says, “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” 1 Cor.15:19. In Read the rest of this entry
The Intersection
“But if I am casting out demons by the power of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you.” Luke 11:20 [emphasis added]
Jesus performed three main types [categories] of miracles. The first category is miracles that affect people. Jesus healed the sick, Jesus cast out demons, and raised the dead. The second category is miracles that control nature. Jesus walked on water, commanded the wind to be still and the storm was stilled. The third category is miracles that controlled material things. Jesus paid His tax with a Read the rest of this entry
Be Aware!
“When Elisha was in his last illness, King Jehoash of Israel visited him and wept over him. “My father! My father! I see the chariots and charioteers of Israel!” he cried” 2Kings13:14
Over the next few days we will be looking at the life of Jehoash [Joash]. Jehoash’s father, during his reign as king, did not serve God and God was angry with him. However, he passed on and Jehoash came into power. You would think that a son would learn from his father’s mistakes but inadvertently most sons just repeat their father’s errors. I am praying that you Read the rest of this entry
Love is … III
“Or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged” 1 Cor.13:5
#5. Love is not rude. Rudeness seems to be increasing with each new generation. But God’s Word is consistent and it says love is not rude.
#6. Love does not insist on its own right. Love is not self-seeking. Relationships that will survive Read the rest of this entry

“Philip said, ‘Lord show us the Father…’ Jesus answered, ‘Don’t you know me, Philip? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.” John 14:8-9
The quest for God has been on for a while. “Philip said, ‘Lord show us the Father…’ Jesus answered, ‘Don’t you know me, Philip? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.” So if you want to know the Father, look at Jesus. And this is love that God is a Person and not a power. A lot of us can relate to God as a power, some force that can do stuff. God has power but God is a person. And that is so Read the rest of this entry
For Love
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16
The most popular scripture in the Bible is, “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life” John 3:16 [emphasis added]. What actually motivated God to give Jesus to us was love. Jesus said, “For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost” Luke 19:10 [emphasis added]. Please Read the rest of this entry
Heart Affairs IV
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him” John 4:23 [emphasis added]
Worship actually starts with what you cannot bring to God. Our hearts are ushered into true worship with the honest confession that we are empty. We cannot begin to enter and access true worship if we do not get to that honest confession that we are actually empty and there is nothing we can really bring to God. Worship does not start with what you can bring, it actually starts with what you cannot Read the rest of this entry
Heart Affairs III
“They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh” Matt.2:11 [emphasis added]
The second striking thing about true worship from the above quoted scripture is that there can be no worship without total humility. They bowed down and worshipped a baby. You cannot come to God in worship and be full of yourself. Do they know who I am? Really, who are you before God? Nothing! And we have the privilege of worshipping the exalted Christ. They were worshipping the Read the rest of this entry
