Our “Abba” Father—Our Daddy God (John 4:24) “God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” How do you spend your time with God? He is not only your El Shaddai, your Almighty God, but He is also your Abba Father, your Daddy God who longs to be with you. “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” (John 15:4) Do you spend quality tim

(Acts 9:9 & 15-16) “For three days he was blind and did not eat or drink anything”…..”Go! This man is My chosen instrument to carry My Name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for My Name.” Why Lord, So Long? We often ask, me included, during extremely trying times, “Why God? Have you not heard my cry” and “Why is this suffering, this trial that seems to have no hope and only darkness, seem to

(Daniel 3:30) “Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.” There are Seasons You have been going through a season of trials from every direction. Trouble in your family, your emotions, your job, and your finances; it seems as if you have had Satan’s complete attention! There is a season for everything, even the trials that we go through, and trials do have a purpose! Trials teach us, develop our gifts, increase our strength and f

(John 11:40) “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” You may be surrounded by many issues in your life right now, and fear has overwhelmed your heart. You have trouble in every area, with your finances, with your children, with your relationships, and maybe even your health as well. The troubles you face are beyond your capability to take care of them; you don’t know what you are going to do. Fear has set in—you need a miracle. (R

(Isaiah 48:2) "For they call themselves after the holy city, and anchor themselves upon the God of Israel; The Lord of hosts is His name.” A boat out to sea will be tossed to and fro when a strong wind comes up. The waves of the sea will splash up against it, tossing it all about, and the proper anchor can hold it and keep it from being carried away by the waves and turned over. Are you anchored to the Most High God? Do you place your hope in Him through Jesus Christ?

The Lord says that in this world we will have trouble. We live in a fallen world. He gave us free will, and some use their free will to the disadvantage of others, and then there is Satan who “Roams the earth seeking whom he may devour.” We, ourselves, also experience things we have done that we regret. The Lord wants us to move on, go forward, and not look back. (Philippians 3:14) “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” He tells u

(Matthew 21:19) ‘ Seeing a fig tree by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, "May you never bear fruit again!" Immediately, the tree withered.” When Jesus comes into your heart, and you truly surrender all to Him, self, self-righteousness, and self-works die, and His Spirit and the freedom and grace that come with His Spirit come alive in you! (Galatians 5:16-18) “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify th

In this world, you will face trouble, and there will be people who misuse their free will; others get hurt as a result. God promises justice. (Romans 12:17-19) “Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.” (Psalm 89:14) “Rig

Faith Sees in the Spirit First, Then It Manifests in the Natural! Have you been waiting for an answered prayer or healing and still have not received it? First (Matthew 6:10) “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” If you are expecting to see evidence first, you will wait a long time. Faith is spirit, and it comes from God. (Hebrews 11:6) “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and

(Mark 8:22-26) “Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him. So, He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything. And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.” Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. Then He sent him away to his house, saying

In our neighborhood Bible study, we recently discussed the sovereignty of God. That got me thinking; I always believed that God was sovereign, but He also gave us free will. I never really delved into it, so I thought I would explore it further for this segment to help others. God is the One and only Creator; as a Christian, we can all agree on that. In creating, He gave men free will. Why? He says in the Bible that love must be sincere. (Romans 12:9-10) “Love must be s

Is What You Do & Say Glorifying God? (Colossians 3:12-17) “Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things, put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in

(Psalm 46:10) “Be still, and know that I am God .” Has life been hitting you hard in all directions? Are problems bombarding you all at once? You pray, read the Word, and seek answers, and all the while your mind is screaming constantly at you, reminding you of all your troubles. There is trouble in every direction, and you see no way out. You are confused and discouraged, and the answers are not there. Is this your life right now? Then get alone with God and be

(II Kings 4:8-17) " One day, Elisha went to Shunem, and a prominent woman who lived there persuaded him to have a meal. So whenever he would pass by, he would stop there to eat. Then the woman said to her husband, “Behold, now I know that the one who often comes our way is a holy man of God. Please let us make a small room upstairs and put in it a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him. Then, when he comes to us, he can stay there.” One day, Elisha came to visit and went

Believe in who you are and WHOSE you are; a child of the Most High God! El Shaddai! Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and he will not come with a sign; he will do it subtly, little by little. So we have to be aware of the devil's schemes. " Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." (I Peter 5:8) He will do it one rejection at a time, one disappointment, then another, and another. If we stay aler

Jesus and what He went through for all mankind defines what love is. " Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore, the world does not know us, because it did not know Him." (I John 3:1) People everywhere who reject the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior do so because they simply want to do their own will. They try to say that being a child of God, or a Christian, breeds hate. This is actually the complete opposite o
