Why is knowing God’s Word so important? Because God’s Word is His will, and when we learn what God has already done for us and provided to us through His grace, we can use our faith to confidently receive those things that are already ours!

Many people believe in Jesus but are scared of the devil. I am not afraid of the devil because God lives in me! I am saved! I am healed! I have been delivered! I have been set free! The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead NOW LIVES IN ME!

Jehovah Shalom means “The Lord is our peace.” This word shalom literally has the essence of nothing broken, everything fixed, everything being repaired. Shalom is total restoration and total peace for all that we need. This is God extending Himself to humanity saying, “I love you!”

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 no theological degree required to lay hands on the sick. In fact, Mark 16:18 gives us simple instructions: those who believe will be able to place their hands on the sick and they will get well!

Our thoughts are the seeds of our actions.

Our prayers are the seeds of answers.

Our giving is the seed of our receiving.

Our efforts are the seeds of our results.

Our words are the seeds of what fruit we will eat.

Jesus was a man born of a virgin, a man who lived a sinless life, a man who suffered and died for our sins, a man who rose from the dead, a man Who appeared to His disciples after His resurrection. These are not just fairy tales, but factual events confirmed by historians of that day. When we see the picture of these very impossible realities we discover a picture of hope that causes us to stand up and say “ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!”

When you go outside the church walls with a clear proclamation of the gospel, the devil’s not going to roll over and say, “Welcome! Have your way!” But we know that the God we serve is bigger, He is far greater, He is mighty, and HE IS ALIVE IN US!

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!

Can there be a more important decision than the one that determines where we spend eternity? Every other decision seems trivial at best when compared with this one. Yet billions, myself included, have made casual assumptions about salvation that we would never make about any other decision!
