If you can get the proper perspective and understanding of how God sees you and how intensely He loves you, you will have a foundation that cannot be moved by the storms of life. You can stand fast regardless of feelings and emotions, circumstances, people, bad reports and symptoms!

The Bible says that through the name of Jesus we have authority over the devil, and over sickness and disease. Therefore, when we pray we use the authority that God gave us through Jesus Christ. We can boldly command, “In the name of Jesus, sickness, you must leave my body,” and then continue to stand strong on God’s Word!

In tennis, if you take your eye off the ball you lose sight of the only thing you can control. If you allow yourself to be distracted, defeat is guaranteed. It is vitally important that you make a quality decision to keep your eye on your goal. Celebrate it. Pray about it. Think on it only. Jesus said that whatever you desire, when you pray, believe you receive it and you shall have it!

Many people think God has a huge office and a lot of work to do, and because He’s so busy He has no time for them. They look up at the sky wondering, “What will God do for me? He’s way up there somewhere…” The truth is, God never says “NO!” to you! God’s answer to everyone is YES! He is always reaching out to us! “If you are hungry, come to Me, and I will feed you! If you are thirsty, come to Me and drink! If you are in need, come to Me, open up your heart and give Me your problems!” Why? Because He loves us, and that’s what love does!

Never allow your fears of what people think of you prevent you from sharing the gospel. You are the worker God has sent to intercept for Christ every life that intersects your path. Don’t let those opportunities pass you by!

The average Christian has a hit or miss attitude towards prayer. For some it is an afterthought when all else has failed. Jesus Himself challenges us when He tells us we are to expect specific answers when we pray (Mark 11:24). Without answers our faith life will dry up, as will our excitement in following Christ. The only difference between us and just another religion is answered prayer!

If life has taken a major detour to an unwanted destination, I encourage you to open the “Owners Manual” God has given to you in His Word. You’ll find divine destiny that will straighten out your course and expand your horizon!

If you are depressed—take hope in God! He promises to strengthen you with His righteous right arm! If you are jobless—dare to declare that He WILL connect you with the job you require! If you are in debt—dare to declare you are debt free! Trust Him to guide you to the victories you need!

No other religion has its scribes read their holy books then expects their god to confirm what was just read.  When you preach with a confirmation of signs and wonders you will never have a problem getting a crowd to listen!

Jesus was not ashamed of the fact that He needed miracles to validate His ministry.  He said, “If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.  But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in Him” (John 10:37-38). There is no stronger statement that He made concerning the need for miracles in ministry!
