Psalm 106:2 - "Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can declare all His praise?"
God wants us to see that the power of God coming upon people has something more in it than we have yet known. The power to heal and to baptize is available, but you must say, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" (Acts 9:6).
If you had the eyes of Jesus, you would see that the harvest is already here (John 4:35). The Holy Spirit wants you for the purpose of manifesting Jesus through you. The
Romans 8:28 - "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
Sometimes our lives are like this. We say, "Father, it's dark. I'm stuck. Where are You in my life?" We cannot see what He is doing. But in the meantime, our Father is operating in His time zone. He says, "I am moving." -- It's "Now O'Clock"! -- It's the local time of Heaven -- It's Kingdom time.
In the book of Revelation, "
Philippians 4:6 (the Passion Translation) says, "Don't be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude..."
We need to be prayerful people in this season and saturate ourselves in those things that God is wanting us to believe for. We need to get our eyes off of what we're going through and begin to praise the Lord -- using it as a weapon to change our situation a
Ephesians 3:16,19 - 16 "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being...19—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."
The Lord wants you to see His power and His strength but He is also wanting you to see YOUR authority in Him to use the Word of God --what it means to partner with Jesus, to see the Holy Spirit move upon your faith – a faith that is rooted in what HE has spoken – and then to see HIM do
Philippians 3:10 - "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection."
Jesus said to Martha, "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25).
There is something different between saying you have faith and then being pressed into a tight corner and proving that you have faith. If you believe, it will be done according to your faith. (Mark 11:24)
May God give us the "fellowship of His sufferings" (Philippians 3:10) that when we see a
James 1:21, "...The Word of Life has power to continually deliver us."
This coming year will be a year of life and that you'll catch the momentum of speaking it over people and circumstances! Not only will your words stop death, but your words will cause others to go on into abundance.
Our words must be filled with life! The people and things that you speak life over this coming year will live again! Life will spring up in places that were once dead, or at least you thought were
Ezekiel 26:9 - "He will pound your walls with battering rams and demolish your towers with sledgehammers."
The battering rams and the sledgehammers are a representation of the Word of God, and the force behind it. As you begin to declare the Word of God in 2020 like a battering ram, with the backing of Heaven, you will break through the gates and walls that have kept you from breakthrough.
In the story of King Jehoash and the prophet Elisha (2Kings 13:14-19), the prophet told th
Isaiah 43: 18-19: "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."
We have been instructed to forget the former things and warned not to dwell on the past. Our ability to perceive the new will be greatly affected by our willingness to forget the former things and leave the past behind. Isaiah's words encourage us to expect the unexpected.
2 Chronicles 15:4 - "But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them."
Many believers are not aware that the word "salvation" includes a whole lot more than being born again and going to heaven when you die.
It actually means "material and temporal deliverance from danger and apprehension, preservation, pardon, restoration, healing, wholeness, and soundness.
One might say, "What if the trouble I am facing is o
Joel 2:25 - "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten..."
God can and will restore all the lost years that the enemy tried to vanquish you. He tried to annihilate you (the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy), but he could not stop you! God's Spirit gives life.
He can restore in 2020 the purpose that you feel that you missed. Today is the day of salvation. "Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have laid hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgettin
John 15:5 - “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."
When we stay fresh in the Spirit of the Lord, we also will grow in our relationship with the Lord. The place of abiding is the place of union we find in John 15:5.
The scripture says we will be fruitful for His glory out of the substance of the supply of His unfailing anointing. His presence is also a place of genuine hunger for the Word of G
Isaiah 43:18-19 - "Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."
God clearly warns us not to look to what was, but to fix our eyes on what is. He is about to do a new thing within our lives. Moving in a new direction can be difficult and resistant. It is easy to want to remain where we are because it's familiar, secure and
Acts 9:6 - ..."Lord what do You want me to do?..." (NKJV)
As soon as Saul was willing to yield, he was in a condition where God could meet his need, where God could display His power, where God could have the man (Acts 9:1-22).
Maybe you are searching for God's purpose for your life. The place of yieldedness is just where God wants us. The main thing today that God wants is obedience. When you begin yielding and yielding to God, He has a plan for your life, and you come into tha
Galatians 5:16 - "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."
It is time for you to do everything you can to move up into a higher realm. Fixate on the goal of walking in the Spirit. Develop your own human spirit; do what you can to become more sensitive to the Spirit of God.
When you become more spiritually sensitive, it will be easier for you to keep in step with the Holy Spirit. And as you follow Him and live to please the Lord, you
Psalm 62:5 - "For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him."
Our world today is very noisy, busy and at times stressful. When you feel stressed or frustrated, go somewhere that is silent -- your soul will begin to calm down. Inner peace and quiet are vital for hearing from God or sensing the direction He wants us to take.
Outer silence helps promote inner silence. Learn to love silence and you will be more inclined to hear the still, small voice of G
John 15:7 - "If you live in me and what I say lives in you, then ask for anything you want, and it will be yours."
The Bible calls us "children of God" and "citizens of the Kingdom." We are God's offspring, a people who have been reconnected to their Source.
Only disciples, those who are committed to their oneness with Christ, will maximize their potential.
A disciple is a learner who is continually affirming and seeing himself in the words of scripture. His goal is to learn and k
John 7:38,39 - "Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive..."
Christ calls us to believe in Him, confident that the Holy Spirit will work powerfully in us according to the measure of our faith in Christ. The surest way to remain filled with the Spirit is to focus our attention on Christ.
Begin every morning in the presence of God and th
Ephesians 1:3 - "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,"
One of the most difficult areas of prayer comes when you want to pray for someone, but you don't know just what to pray except, "God bless_______." Actually, that prayer means very little.
Ephesians 1:3 tells us that the Father has already released every blessing to us in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. So, a better way to pra
Romans 8:11 - "If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you."
The measure of your true potential is in your spirit. God has always intended that we would always live from the inside -- from the spirit-man in communion with the eternal Spirit of God. Without that relationship, you are limited to the potential of your soul and your body. "For those who
Numbers 13:33 - "And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, who come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."
How does the devil see you?
Does He see you as a terrifying and mighty warrior of God...or does he see you as a weak target he can prey on. If in your own sight, you're a weak, powerless Christian, the devil will run over you multiple times a day. But when you begin to see yourself as God sees you, as a conquering son or d
Luke 13:16 - "And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
The teaching that says that sickness is actually a blessing in disguise, because the Lord is working His plan in one's life is not found in scripture. Nowhere do we find Jesus refusing to heal anyone. His actions are proof enough that it is always God's will to heal!
Jesus provided for physical healing as well as forgiveness of sins. The very
1 Peter 2:9 - "But you are...a royal priesthood."
By what right do we become "a royal priesthood?"
By the right of the Atonement. Are we prepared to leave our self-absorbed existence and launch out into the priestly work of helping others with their spiritual lives in Christ? There is only one place where we are right, and that is in Christ Jesus.
Move on out in the reckless belief that the Redemption is complete and begin to demonstrate the life and priesthood of Jesus b
1 Corinthians 1:30 - "And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,"
Sanctification does not mean anything less than the holiness of Jesus being made ours manifestly.
The one marvelous secret of a holy life lies not in imitating Jesus, but in letting the perfections of Jesus manifest themselves in our mortal flesh. Sanctification is "Christ in you." It is His wonderful life that is imparted by faith as a g
Isaiah 26:9 - "My soul yearns for you in the night."
What is the most worthwhile thing you can experience on earth? Nothing less than God Himself! What is the first and most important thing to be done each day? It is nothing less than to seek, to know, to live, and to praise God.
So begin every day of the year with the impassioned prayer of David: "O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you...in a dry and weary land" (Psalm 63:1). As you persever
Philippians 3:16 - "I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
Paul spoke about the desire to attain. There is no standing still. We are renewed by the Spirit. We never get into a new place until we come out of the old one (Genesis 12:1-4).
We must see revelation of God's purpose for our life and learn about who we are in Christ and our right standing with God. We can never be satisfied to stay where we are spiritually, for the truth
