You cannot force people to do the Word, nor can you reach out and lay hold of things by faith for them. It's sad and frustrating at times but people need to get a revelation of the truth for themselves that will propel them to action. But you can love and pray for them. If [...]

Healthy Meditation
Often we think of meditation in terms of "positive thinking", but the actual word in the Bible that is translated in English as "meditate" really means "to mutter". So meditation has to do more with our TALKING than it does with our THINKING; but if we are not thinking right, we won't be talking right. [...]
Two Things We Must Know
The two most important things someone can know are 1. What the Word says about God and 2. What He says and thinks about YOU. When we only take the opinions of others or try to base our faith upon what we may have been taught about God, rather than looking to the Word to [...]
The Answers We Need Are in Our Spirits
We make an appointment with a counselor or trusted mentor when we are seeking answers for our lives, right? Seeking counsel = seeking answers. This verse is saying that the answers we are needing are actually in our spirit man; in our hearts. But we must make the effort to dip down and draw it [...]
Training Up a Child Means Being Their Example
Proverbs 22:6 says "Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he's old he will not depart from it." Many parents love to quote this promise from God's word, but if we are not actively keeping the command of training, then we cannot expect to claim the second part of the [...]
It’s OK To Move On
God's command to love everyone doesn't mean He expects us to be a doormat to people's lack of skill in walking in love and their poor behavior. Not everyone deserves the right to access your heart. We are called to LOVE our enemies and to PRAY for those who use us, but it's ok to [...]
God Is Not Moved By Needs
If you want to see that situation in your life change, then you've got to stop acting like a double agent, reporting to God everything the enemy whispers to you about it! He cannot work with that. He can only respond to faith-filled words. The Word says that Jesus is our advocate (our lawyer) seated [...]
Be You!
Sometimes we see others doing the exact thing we ourselves are called to do. It's so tempting to compare ourselves to others and feel like we don't measure up. Remember that what you may see in them today is what has taken them years to grow in and gain skill. It's great to have wonderful [...]
Don’t Believe Any Words More Than God’s Words
Living on this earth means that there will be plenty of situations that arise that try to get you to change what you believe. In the face of every situation, we are to ask ourselves, "what does God say about this?". That's why it's so important to know what the Word of God says. It's [...]
We’ve Been Set Free From Creating Our Own Plan
Jesus set us free from so many things in our lives, sin, sickness, fear, poverty and lack, anxiety and depression, but He also set us free from ourselves. He set us free from having to create our own plan for our lives. Ephesians 2:10 (AMP) “For we are God’s own handiwork (His workmanship) recreated in [...]
