Intimacy with the Holy Spirit (1)
Psalms 139:2 (AMP) “You know when I sit down and when I rise up [my entire life, everything I do]; You understand my thought from afar.” The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity who has been given to believers as our Comforter. And as a person, He yearns for closeness with us. […]
Divine Mercy
Lamentations 3:22 (AMP) “It is because of the Lord’s lovingkindness that we are not consumed, Because His [tender] compassions never fail.” Humankind does not always receive what it wants, works for, or is entitled to. He receives what God’s mercy grants him. Mercy is the foundation upon which God’s favor or gracious favors can be […]
Leave Toxic Relationships
2 Thessalonians 3:16 (AMP) “Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace at all times and in every way [that peace and spiritual well-being that comes to those who walk with Him, regardless of life’s circumstances]. The Lord be with you all.” Man was created by God to be relational, and to […]
Financial Wisdom
James 1:5 (AMP) “If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him.” Financial wisdom is one of the things many believers lack, and it’s the […]
The Battlefield of the Mind (2)
Romans 12:2 (AMP) “And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, […]
The Battlefield of the Mind (1)
2 Corinthians 10:5 (AMP) ”We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ.” The mind is a battlefield. God is on our side in this battle. The devil’s greatest […]
Act of Faith
Hebrews 11:6 (AMP) “But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.” Faith is a spiritual currency for spiritual transactions. Faith comes in when the things before you […]
Why We Pray (4)
James 5:16 (AMP) “Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) is able to accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can […]
Why We Pray (3)
Romans 10:13 (AMP) “For whoever calls on the name of the Lord [in prayer] will be saved.” Time and time again, it has been evidently proven that man is supposed to be a dependent being, one who depends on God, his Creator, for life and continued existence. Throughout the pages of history, God has always […]
Why We Pray (2)
Luke 18:1 (AMP) “Now Jesus was telling the disciples a parable to make the point that at all times they ought to pray and not give up and lose heart.” In this age and time, it is quite obvious that many believers have inaccurate definitions of what prayer really is, and these affect their reasons […]
