John 1:14 tells us that Jesus, the Word of God, became flesh. What does that mean for you and me? That means His Word is actually He Himself being released into the atmosphere around us. When we speak His words, He is filling our midst with His presence!

God never changes but our perception of Him does.  You can limit Him to the size of your religion, your problem, or your bank account—OR you can also allow Him to be Almighty God!  He is the creator of the universe! Invite Him into your daily decisions. Proverbs 3:5 tells us that when we trust God and acknowledge Him in all our ways, He will direct our paths!

Even after you have chosen to forgive, memories of wrongs suffered and the associated negative feelings will still try to rise up. But hold on to forgiveness! Remind yourself that you made a decision to forgive!

Jesus prayed: “Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come; on earth as it is in heaven.” No sickness in heaven!  No poverty in heaven! No weakness in heaven! No tears in heaven!  If it doesn’t look like heaven, we are commissioned and empowered to change it!

There is a very real God whose presence you can know, whose hand you can hold, who will speak with you and His voice will not be somewhere in the distance, but rather IN you. He loves you and wants to live with you and through you!

There is a place in God where there is no shortage. There is a place where you are not dependent on the government, the economy, the mercy of others or your own manipulations to see the good life promised in scripture. Make this New Year the year you discover and dwell in Kingdom living!

The sacrifice of the holy blood of Jesus that covered the sins of all people is enough! Scripture says that now anyone can come to the throne of grace with boldness because we were all covered with the blood of Jesus, and the keys of the kingdom were given to each one of us!

It’s an exciting time of year – a time of decorations, baking, lights, and of course, Christmas gifts! There is another very special aspect of this season – it’s what the angels said, Behold, unto you a Savior is born. Good will towards all of mankind. Christmas is indeed a miracle.

When Kevin was a young boy, his father passed away leaving eight children. For the grieving family it looked as if there would be no gifts for Christmas that year.

On Christmas morning however, as the family awoke not expecting any gifts at all, they found on the front porch a giant box of presents for all eight children! It was truly a miracle Christmas for all!

Today, the greatest miracle gift of all is Jesus. May He be at the very center of your Christmas, and the focus of all that you do. Merry Christmas!

The three wise men set their focus on following the star all the way to Bethlehem. Likewise, in the midst of the thousands of bits of information that come at us each day, we must keep our focus on Jesus, the only light that will truly transform us.

When the Holy Spirit moves into you He moves in with all of His luggage. He doesn’t leave any of it behind! Whatever you have need of—a word, provision, guidance, a miracle—it’s already in you and accessible!
