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

You’ve Already Got It!
What do you need the Lord to do for you? Do you need the Lord to heal you? How about prosperity? Could you use more money? The truth is, you don’t need the Lord to do anything for you. He’s already done His part. You’ve already got it, whatever “it” is. This may sound crazy to some… Continue reading You’ve Already Got It!
Resources are attached to our identity not our circumstances
God does not allocate resources to your problems. He attaches them to our identity in Jesus. His primary purpose is in our becoming the exact likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are therefore learning how to grow up in all things in Christ. In our life events we are being schooled that God says… Continue reading Resources are attached to our identity not our circumstances
The memory that lives
The Word is deeper. Some of the best revelation teaching comes during times when there are only a few instead of the many. During these times of waiting on the Lord, the Words come because they are living experiences to us. We are living them. When we speak them to you, you are aware that… Continue reading The memory that lives
When God is greatest, Jacob becomes Israel
In both the Old and the New Testaments, God sets before us His unlimited provision. We can either esteem that provision highly, or we can despise it. Three passages about the lives of Esau and Jacob illustrate this prerogative we have and provide a rich scriptural foundation for it. Genesis 25:27–34: When the boys grew… Continue reading When God is greatest, Jacob becomes Israel
How limited is your God?
We need to examine afresh our concepts of God. What is your concept of Him? Does your revelation of Him constantly expand, to see Him as Lord of lords and King of kings? Think of the thirty-fourth Psalm, verse 3, which says, O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.… Continue reading How limited is your God?
What next? perpetual blessing
One of the problems you will face as you walk with God is the problem of losing strength, especially as you labor and become weary in well-doing. Therefore, you will need to know how to regain your strength in order to be effective. A crisis comes to those whom God has brought to a place… Continue reading What next? perpetual blessing
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
God said it! I must have it!
Do you hunger and thirst for righteousness, not with a casual desire, but with an intense, burning drive? Do you want to walk with God, not just to know about Him, or even to minister in His name, but to really know Him in a deep walk with Him? The Lord circumcises our hearts so… Continue reading God said it! I must have it!
The vault door is open
The two churches in the book of Revelation with which I am primarily concerned in these days are the church of Philadelphia and the church of Laodicea. Both are of great importance to us. The Laodicean church and the Philadelphia church cannot be described strictly as churches in the last two periods of the church… Continue reading The vault door is open
Save yourself from this generation
It is the day that the Lord hath brought forth to the earth. Let not any heart be heavy; but let them be diligent to press into the things that God hath provided for thy deliverance. Remember ye the words of the Apostle Peter, when he cried, “Save yourselves from this untoward generation.” So it… Continue reading Save yourself from this generation
Our privileges
If we were to prophesy over you, we couldn’t tell you anything more important than what this word will mean to each one of you, because it has a very personal application. We read in John 1:10–13, He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know… Continue reading Our privileges
Our prerogatives and privileges
In John 4, we read the account of the woman from Samaria who came to Jacob’s well to draw water. When Jesus asked her for a drink, she said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink, since I am a Samaritan?” At that time, Jews had no… Continue reading Our prerogatives and privileges
The transactions or the authority in His name
This message will present another legal aspect of our position, of our privileges in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the fantastic provisions that He has made for every need—not only things that we consider needs from a human viewpoint, but the needs that we have now as we appropriate His perfect eternal purpose to bring… Continue reading The transactions or the authority in His name
The treasury or we have the key
In considering the things that God has provided for us, it is very important that we talk about the treasury, the vault where all the resources are stored. As we enter into a Scriptural study, we will begin to understand what spiritual access really means, and we will become aware of the fact that we… Continue reading The treasury or we have the key
Did the Father forsake Jesus on the cross?
Why did Jesus die? Who killed him? What was his death really about? What did Jesus say about it? Jesus knew he was going to the cross, so what was he expecting? Did he say he was going to suffer the just punishment for our sins from his father? Was Jesus expecting abandonment and rejection… Continue reading Did the Father forsake Jesus on the cross?

In considering the things that God has provided for us, it is very important that we talk about the treasury, the vault where all the goodies are stored. As we enter into a Scriptural study, we will begin to understand what spiritual access really means, and we will become aware of the fact that we… Continue reading We have the key
