Manifesting your spirit is a spiritual discipline, one explained by Jesus himself in John 7:37 – 39: Manifesting our spirit is when the life of God is flowing through our spirit into our soul and body and then it overflows through us to out into the world, touching people with the presence of God!

Declaring your commitment

I have been both privileged and dismayed in my experience of churches.

How to Follow God’s Will

Finding God’s will for your life is essential, but it’s just the beginning. Once you start moving in God’s direction, you have a big target painted on your back. Satan will do everything he can to stop you. If you don’t bump into the devil, it’s because you both are headed in the same direction.… Continue reading How to Follow God’s Will

How to Find God’s Will

Recently a ministers employee told him about a man she met at a business near his office.

After she… Continue reading How to Find God’s Will

How to Become a Water Walker

It is true that some storms are of our own making. Jonah proved that (Jonah 1-3). Jonah ran from God, encountered a storm while on a ship, was thrown overboard, and wound up in the belly of a fish.

Grace: The Power of the Gospel

The Gospel is the most basic, foundational message of the New Testament, yet it’s the most misunderstood. Today’s religious system is not preaching the same Gospel that Paul did.

Most Christians today have not been able to take full advantage of their redemption because of a lack of understanding God’s grace.

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. Colossians 3:17.

One by the blood

We are concerned about our receiving the real revelation of the Communion, and what it is to impart to us.

The Lord has given a living Word, but who has heard it?

One of the greatest generals of all time was Joshua. Of course, West Point and other military academies came about long after his time—schools where men are taught the strategy that generals learned as they fought wars, changed the destinies of men, and directed the course of history. But there is nothing more important that… Continue reading The Lord has given a living Word, but who has heard it?

To wean or not to wean? that is the question

It is good to review these basic foundations. It helps keep us within the divine order that the Lord revealed to us and directs… Continue reading To wean or not to wean? that is the question

Running in place

I am thinking about all of those who have thought they were walking with God, but they were not. To use an old exercise term, they were “running in place.” They were not going anyplace, because they did not have the faith to move on. This message is important because God is bringing forth so… Continue reading Running in place

The fire of God will be the instrument of judgment through the mouths and the hands of His remnant that is coming forth.

For the Lord will execute… Continue reading The fire of God-part two

We understand that the whole purpose of the Day of Atonement, preceding the Feast of Tabernacles, was that there should be the goat of removal, Azazel (Leviticus 16:10, NAS, ASV).

We had been saying, “We’re in the Kingdom! We’re in the Kingdom!” And we really were, to some extent; but the Kingdom is characterized by relationships.

The roots that are down deep within us can be very, very deep. The root of bitterness is the result of unbelief (Hebrews 12:15).

Three can’t beat one. There are references in the Scriptures such as, “a threefold cord is not easily broken” which collaborate this principle (Ecclesiastes 4:12).

I am a broken sacrifice

It is very devastating when the Lord searches our hearts, and this is the way it should be. It leads to repentance and the exalting of the Lord, and it creates a deep hunger and thirst for righteousness to come forth. Sometimes a man thinks that a change of scenery will make him more spiritual,… Continue reading I am a broken sacrifice

The thief and the contaminator

With a fervor we should hate not only sin, but we should hate Satan and the way he assaults the people of God. It is abhorrent the way he blocks and hinders the anointed of the Lord. We also should despise the conditionings in our own spirits that make us reluctant to accept the full… Continue reading The thief and the contaminator

The cross-out principle

The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain; and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the sky poured rain, and the earth produced… Continue reading The cross-out principle

When love takes over

Let all that you do be done in love. I Corinthians 16:14. Would everyone agree with you if you actually fulfilled this Scripture?

Rebuke the devourer

The Old Testament tells of a time, like the restoration that God is giving His people today, in which the Jewish people laid the foundation for the temple after bitter years of exile.

Demand that He be God!

Can a believer take advantage of God? Does God want us to know everything about Him? Contrary to common belief, God does not harbor any deep dark secrets about Himself. In fact, He constantly urges us, “Go ahead, find out about Me. Put Me on the spot!” God can do whatever He wants. He does… Continue reading Demand that He be God!

What’s happening to time?

Time presents two problems that we must cope with in these last days. One, Satan knows that he has but a short time, and therefore he rages against the inhabitants of the earth (Revelation 12:12); two, unless these days are shortened, no flesh will be saved alive (Matthew 24:22). Because of this, Ephesians 5:16 urges… Continue reading What’s happening to time?

Infallible?

In the Body of Christ, there is a divine order of relationships. Sometimes in a family, the husband scolds his wife, the wife spanks the children, the oldest child hits the next oldest, and so on down the line to the youngest, who in turn kicks the cat. There may be times when you feel… Continue reading Infallible?

The “now” remnant

Young people, as well as those in their middle years, are always looking forward to tomorrow, while old people live in yesterdays of the past. Can’t anyone ever live in the present? Paul said of David, “By the will of God he served his generation and slept with his fathers” (Acts 13:36). In other words,… Continue reading The “now” remnant

Going on to maturity

God is bringing forth a people today who are embracing a walk with God rather than a theology or a doctrine. The study of doctrine differentiates between Calvinism and Arminianism.

Fathers and sons

Part Two As members of the Body of Christ, we are not so much an organization or a functioning unit as we are a family.

The family relationship should exceed everything else… Continue reading Fathers and sons

Rejoicing with the Thessalonians

We can learn something about thanksgiving, praise, and rejoicing from three verses in I Thessalonians 5. These verses are short, but they sum up Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonian church.

Very little joy exists in the world today. Instead, there appears to be a dedication to heaviness and to sorrow.
