Every human relationship is based on trust. Even if you’re driving on the road, you have to trust that the other person is sane and that they’re going to stay on their side of the road. That’s why you drive confidently. When you get a job, you have [...]

God works with His Word; His Word is spirit and life. He sent His Word to heal us, and His Word is a light and lamp to direct us. But the Word of God is also more than that; it is our sword, our weapon to fight with. In Ephesians chapter 6, verses [...]

God works with His Word; its spirit and life, and He sends His Word to heal. However, the Word of God does more than that; the Word of God is also our light. In Psalm 119:105, we read these words: «Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my [...]

God works with His Word, His Spirit; His Word is life. But that’s not all that the Word of God does. The Word of God also heals; it has the power to heal. In Psalm 107, verse 20, it says He sent His Word and healed them and delivered them from their [...]

The power of God is always around us. As we see His power, we see His world, but most times we don’t pay attention to what we are looking at and the significance of what God has done. Psalm 33:6 says, «By the word of the Lord, the heavens were made, [...]

We’ve been looking at the Spirit of God and what He does in our lives, and today we’re going to look at the fact that the Spirit of God stops floods from overwhelming us. Our text is from Isaiah chapter 59, verse 19: «So they shall fear the name of [...]

Life has a lot of patterns, you know. You come into this world wanting things to be easy for you, to be cool, but somehow you’ll find you still have to fight to survive, to make it, and to see the goodness of the Lord in your life. In Isaiah chapter [...]

The Lord is our shield, but He’s more than our shield; He’s also our Son. As the psalmist says in Psalm 84, verse 11, «For the Lord God is a Sun and a shield; the Lord will give grace and glory. No good thing will He withhold from those who walk [...]

It’s good for us to know where our strength comes from. How do you determine the source of your strength? The psalmist says in Psalm 18, verse 32, «It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.» Strength has to do with the ability to [...]

The Lord is our strength, the Lord is our shelter, and the Lord is our song (Exodus 15:2). Since the Lord is my strength and song, He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him—my father’s God, and I will exalt Him. In addition to [...]

I’ve had people talk to me and ask me about faith, so what if I’m sick? Shouldn’t I acknowledge that I’m sick? If I walk by faith, shouldn’t I also be able to speak the truth and say I’m sick? If I’m broke, shouldn’t I acknowledge that I’m broke? [...]

Well, we’re two days away from our 40 Days of Power, and I trust that your heart is ready, your spirit is ready, and we’re going to be in the presence of the Lord. In Luke chapter 4, verse 14, after Jesus had finished His 40 days of prayer and [...]

The Bible has many stories of people who trusted in God. We can think of Abraham and Peter when Jesus told him to launch out into the deep. One of the most remarkable people who trusted God was a man called Job, whose story is very profound. In Job [...]

When we operate in faith, we use our words to create change. Most of us are familiar with using faith to talk to God, asking Him for answers to our prayers. We ask God about something or for something, and He does it for us. That is one way to use [...]

Hello, and it’s a joy to have this conversation with you as we begin a new week. This is a week of God’s favor and goodness to you. I’m teaching all week on the subject of faith. What does faith do? When we say a person has faith, what does that [...]

Before faith becomes an action, it is first and foremost a word, something that is spoken. Faith is released through the spoken word, and we see from the first chapter of Genesis that God’s power is released through His words. He spoke things into [...]
