When circumstances come up in life, the temptation also comes to walk away from the truth of the Word. That's why it's so important for the Word to DWELL in you and you to DWELL in the Word. That means that's where you make your home. Our home is a safe haven from the things [...]

Go Expecting Power! God Will Meet Your EXPECTATION!
The local church is VERY important to God. He created the structure of having an earthy shepherd over us for our blessing. Your pastor is anointed to speak answers into your life. 1 Cor. 2:4,5 "My message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in DEMONSTRATION of the Spirit and of [...]
What Are You Believing For?
In Mark 11:23,24 Jesus taught us that when we pray, we must believe right then that we HAVE received what we've asked, even though we don't yet see it, and we SHALL have it! What's one thing YOU are believing God for right now? If you've already seen it promised in the Word and you've [...]

Think. Believe. Talk. Have.
Get Thrilled!
YES! There should be a thrill that accompanies us when we hear the Word, speak it and act on it. If we truly believe that when we prayed we received what we've asked, whether we see it manifest immediately or not, we should be JOYFUL! There will be an outward evidence of the inward working! [...]
Come Up HIGHER!
God recorded His thoughts for us so we could HAVE and SPEAK His thoughts! Isaiah 55:8,9 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Neither are My ways your ways" declares the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." [...]
