It is impossible to grow in faith unless you have something to overcome. Life in the Spirit is about how we meet problems, difficulties and adversity and the process of learning how to rise up and surmount those obstacles. An authentic life in the Spirit requires both training and proving. Jesus learned obedience by the… Continue reading Every problem has a provision attached to it

The promises of God and our development
Whenever anyone makes us a promise, and we trust them, we depend on it. When we receive a promise from someone, we qualify it according to the character and integrity of the one who spoke it. When we believe in the word spoken, when we trust in the integrity of the speaker, then all fear… Continue reading The promises of God and our development
Learn the language of promise
As the people of God, our lives are defined by our promises, prophecies and possibilities. The father inserts a promise into our lives lovingly, so we have his word to hold on to when we need it. Not all promises need to be understood when they are first given, but they do need to be… Continue reading Learn the language of promise
The language of promise
WE ARE CALLED TO INHERIT. THE LOVE LANGUAGE OF GOD IS VITAL TO THAT DISCOVERY. When God gives you a voice, others will try to take it away. May you inherit every blessing that the Father has planned and purposed for your life. Families are the bedrock of life. They supply the love, belief, laughter,… Continue reading The language of promise
“These promises are for you”
There is a necessity for us to have a great deal of faith in our relationships. What is jealousy except an uncertainty about your relationship, a lack of trust, and so forth. What do you call it when you are thinking two different emotions at one time, when your heart is filled with one thing… Continue reading “These promises are for you”
Always persistent
I have some things that I am going to read to you. First of all, I’m going to read a statement, so brace yourself. Fasten your seat belt. If you receive a Word and do not persist in it, you will seek in frustration for another Word. And then you will seek for another Word,… Continue reading Always persistent
His revelation or your presumption?
The book of Deuteronomy ends with Moses going up “to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah.” There the Lord showed Moses the land that the sons of Israel were to possess. So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. And He… Continue reading His revelation or your presumption?
What does He want?
The times of restoration of the Temple, described in the book of Ezra, were prophesied by Haggai and Zechariah. The restoration they were prophesying in their time is closely paralleled with our situation today. We are believing to see the restoration of all creation for God’s Kingdom on earth. The book of Haggai shows us… Continue reading What does He want?
His sons are born running
Is God a personal God? When you say, “I take Jesus as my personal Savior,” you mean that you, as a person, believe Him to save you. But to call God a personal God means that you believe that God is a person; He is not an impersonal force. There are people who do not… Continue reading His sons are born running
A promise with a problem
One of the greatest conflicts you have in walking with God is the conflict with God Himself. How can He be so gracious to you and yet so contrary? There is a principle you must see in God’s dealings with you. Usually God’s Word comes in two forms: first, the precepts and the commandments of… Continue reading A promise with a problem
Breaking the time barrier
God always holds the past, the present, and the future before Him in His mind. Therefore, a man of faith who comes to God may claim promises of the past or prophecies of the future as the provision for the present moment. God made promises concerning the future, and those promises, as well as His… Continue reading Breaking the time barrier
There’s more to take
In the conquest of Canaan, under the leadership of Joshua, we find a similarity between the attitude toward purity that was required of the Israelites then, and of those who seek to walk with God now. This account in Joshua shows us that God does not allow a tolerant coexistence with corruption: Joshua waged war… Continue reading There’s more to take
I’ll tolerate no delay-2
We are confronted continually with the problem of redeeming the time because the days are evil. Satan has his own time schedule; and if it succeeds, no flesh will be saved alive, according to the prophecies of Christ (Matthew 24:22). Satan is working to bring about the destruction of the entire human race. Every science,… Continue reading I’ll tolerate no delay-2

Parallel to our path
It is very worthwhile to exercise yourself in studying the Scriptures. If too much help is given to you, you will not learn to find the answers yourself. Many of the most intriguing lessons taught in school are those in which the teacher leads the student just so far, giving him the questions and the… Continue reading Parallel to our path
How soon can it be? right now!
In our walk with God, we often look at God’s promise and ask, “How soon can it be?” A number of scriptural situations answer this question. Therefore also there was born of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants as the stars of heaven in number, and innumerable as… Continue reading How soon can it be? right now!
Yes, yes, yes
The Apostle Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians was written after he had passed through some very difficult experiences. He was talking about them in the opening chapter with an optimistic faith, knowing, however, that he had passed through probably one of the most dangerous periods a man could pass through and still survive. For… Continue reading Yes, yes, yes
I see men as trees walking
In our lives as we walk with the Lord, the promises of God do not really bother us as much as our ineffectual appropriation of them, that we have not been able to fully lay hold upon them, or that our spiritual experience of them has only been partial. We know that there is a… Continue reading I see men as trees walking
