The Impossible Christian Life
When I was new as a believer, I started going to church and I heard this one guy’s testimony that shocked me. This guy started by saying, “You know, I’ve always been a good, moral person. Never really done anything wrong. The biggest thing I could think of was I would sometimes steal grapes at…
God Wants to Deliver You
When the three Hebrew children were thrown into the fiery furnace, a fourth man was there with them: Jesus! They didn’t get burned. In fact, their clothes and hair didn’t even smell of smoke. That’s the kind of deliverance God wants to bring you in your time of trial. What is God’s motivation for wanting…
God’s Pure Mercy
Isaiah had a revelation of God’s great delight in us. He prophesied, “But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, and he who formed you, O Israel: ‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will…
The Key to All Deliverance

“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is” (Ephesians 5:15-17, ESV). As a spouse and a parent, this can be especially hard! Let me suggest…
Finishing the Race Well
“For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it— lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not…
Spend Time with God!
We are what we eat. It’s true. Jesus said his flesh is our meat [food]: “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you” (John 6:53 NKJV). People who relegate this eating of the Lord to the communion…
An Outpouring of the Holy Spirit
“While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God” (Acts 10:44, 46 NKJV).
