When There Seems to be No Way

Jesus demonstrated that He will be in the midst of any pit you find yourself in when He went ahead of you to the lowest pit of all.  He went to hell with your worst problem, the sin which separated you from God.  If you’re born again He lives in you now, so there’s no valley too deep, no pit too dark, or storm too strong, where you won’t find Jesus there with you ready to deliver you!

The Lord is Our Peace

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!”

The Real Deal

No other religion has its scribes read their holy books then expect 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!

Forgiveness is a Decision

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!

Uncommon Thinking

You are destined for success! But to get there, you have to transition out of your normal, common thinking into an uncommon thought life. Normal thinking is the rut your brain shifts into when you continually think on what you’re accustomed to—“This is the way it is, therefore this is the way it will always be.” No! Those are common thoughts. That’s how the world thinks!

 

Make It Like Heaven

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!

Never Alone

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!

Kingdom Living

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 Keys of the Kingdom are Yours

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!

 

Merry Christmas!

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!
