in the very presence of God Almighty

2011-12-30T16:34:00.000-06:00

Many believe that sickness and disease causes people to grow closer to God—or that Jehovah Rapha, your Healer has made you sick or immobilized (nowhere in God's Word will you find that theory). You can be in the very presence of God Almighty in His Word—and be healed! "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." Psalm 107:20 KJV

If your child or your spouse...or someone very dear to you was given one month to live, you might be interested in finding out.

"MY people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge..." Hosea 4:6 KJV

when ye shall search for me with all your heart

2011-12-30T12:56:00.001-06:00

Ever wonder why so few live in the manifestations of the promises of God, and so many don't?

‎"For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory." 2 Corinthians 1:20 NLT

I got to a place in my life where I said, "God, I KNOW You're better than this!"

...and, OH BOY, did He show UP!

‎"And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13 KJV

revelation of the Gospel

2011-12-30T11:12:00.001-06:00

Many people never receive the full revelation and manifestation of the Gospel because it can only be believed and received in the heart.

‎"Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:" Romans 3:22 KJV

"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." 2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV

"For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich." 2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV

"But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God." 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 KJV

"Surely he hath borne our griefs (disease, sickness), and carried our sorrows (affliction, grief, pain): yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:4-5 KJV

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." 2 Peter 2:24 KJV

Yet most live in sin, condemnation, guilt... Most live in lack and poverty. Most live in sickness and disease.

"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith... And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Galatians 3:13-14, 29 KJV

From The New Testament Greek Lexicon, Salvation (Sozo): to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction; one (from injury or peril); to save a suffering one (from perishing), i.e. one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health; to preserve one who is in danger of destruction, to save or rescue; to save in the technical biblical sense; negatively: to deliver from the penalties of the Messianic judgment; to save from the evils which obstruct the reception of the Messianic deliverance

"All through the midst of the storm, with the ship rolling and pitching, the wind blowing hard—Jesus hadn't awoke. He was asleep. But at the cry of frail humanity, he was wide awake (Matthew 8:24-26)." Ken Hagin Jr.

peace

2011-12-25T20:54:00.001-06:00

"Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]" John 14:27 AMP

εἰρήνη

Pronunciation: i-ray'-nay

probably from a primary verb εἴρω (to join); peace (literally or figuratively); by implication, prosperity:--one, peace, quietness, rest, + set at one again.

faith and patience

2011-12-24T21:07:00.001-06:00

LAY HOLD of the promises...confess (profess) them until you HAVE THEM!

"Fight the good fight of faith, LAY HOLD on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast PROFESSED a GOOD PROFESSION before many witnesses." 1 Timothy 6:12 KJV

"That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the promises." Hebrews 6:12 KJV

"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy MOUTH...for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." Joshua 1:8 KJV

"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17 KJV

"A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his MOUTH; and with the increase of his LIPS shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the TONGUE: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Proverbs 18:20-21 KJV

FREEDOM, LIBERTY is His ABUNDANT LIFE!

2011-12-23T10:16:00.001-06:00

"God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places." 2 Samuel 22:33-34 KJV

redemption in marriage

2011-12-23T09:52:00.001-06:00

This whole chapter is SO RICH, but I read redemption in marriage again in this passage (Jesus has redeemed us from the curse of the law—in the wrong marriage too):

"For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), RECREATED in Christ Jesus, [BORN ANEW] that we may do those GOOD WORKS which God predestined (PLANNED BEFOREHAND) for US [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [LIVING THE GOOD LIFE WHICH HE PREARRANGED and MADE READY for us to live]." Ephesians 2:10 AMP

So many remain living in their past mistake (wrong choice in marriage partner) and never enter into His GOOD, ABUNDANT LIFE already prearranged! Joyce Meyer (to name one) wouldn't be who she is today if she had remained married to her first husband.

"Low self-esteem is a result of a lack of knowledge. The reason so many Christians live way below their privileges as a child of God is because they don't know that they are highly favored of God." Jerry Savelle, Walking In Divine Favor

Why do we tolerate them?

2011-11-27T10:05:00.001-06:00

We have been redeemed from sickness, disease and plagues! Why do we tolerate them?

"Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed." Deuteronomy 28:61 KJV

"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." Acts 10:38 KJV

"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Galatians 3:13-14, 29 KJV

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." 1 Peter 2:24 KJV

infinitely beyond

2011-11-26T09:02:00.000-06:00

"Get the phrase, 'Can He?' out of your vocabulary. 'Can God do this, can God furnish this, can God provide this?' HE CAN! If you can conceive it, then you can receive it, and no demon from hell can keep it from you.

Nothing happens on the outside until it is first conceived on the inside! We know that in the natural realm 'to conceive' means to become pregnant with, but it also means to apprehend. In other words, reach out and take it...!

How much can your spirit conceive? How big can you dream? What limitations have you placed on God? It’s unlikely that one sermon will cause a perfected image on the inside of you. You’ve got to be in the Word on a daily basis. Search out every scripture you can possibly find that talks to you about your situation. Feed on it, imagine it, ponder it, dwell on it, walk in it. Get to the place where every time you open the Bible, it’s not just words; it’s revelation jumping off the pages into your spirit and you’re finally able to shout, 'He can!'

Begin meditating the scriptures until you know that you know without a doubt that nothing is impossible to him who believes. Start seeing yourself doing the impossible and having the impossible." Jerry Savelle

"Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]--" Ephesians 3:20 AMP

"And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!" Isaiah 30:18 AMP

"For out of His fullness (abundance) we have all received [all had a share and we were all supplied with] one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favor upon favor and gift [heaped] upon gift. For while the Law was given through Moses, grace (unearned, undeserved favor and spiritual blessing) and truth came through Jesus Christ." John 1:16-17 AMP

Precious Faith

2011-11-16T13:38:00.001-06:00

This is a story written by a doctor who worked in Africa.

One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do, she died, leaving us with a tiny, premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive; as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator).

We also had no special feeding facilities.

Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool that the baby would be wrapped in.

Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst (rubber perishes easily in tropical climates)..

'And it is our last hot water bottle!' she exclaimed. As in the West, it is no good crying over spilled milk, so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles.

They do not grow on trees, and there are no drugstores down forest pathways.

'All right,' I said, 'put the baby as near the fire as you safely can, and sleep between the baby and the door to keep it free from drafts Your job is to keep the baby warm.'

The following noon, as I did most days, I went to have prayers with any of the orphanage children who chose to gather with me. I gave the youngsters various suggestions of things to pray about and told them about the tiny baby. I explained our problem about keeping the baby warm enough, mentioning the hot water bottle, and that the baby could so easily die if it got chills. I also told them of the two-year-old sister, crying because her mother had died.

During prayer time, one ten -year-old girl, Ruth, prayed with the usual blunt conciseness of our African children. 'Please, God' she prayed, 'Send us a hot water bottle today It'll be no good tomorrow, God, as the baby will be dead, so please send it this afternoon.'

While I gasped inwardly at the audacity of the prayer, she added, 'And while You are about it, would You please send a dolly for the little girl so she'll know You really love her?'

As often with children's prayers, I was put on the spot. Could I honestly say 'Amen?' I just did not believe that God could do this.

Oh, yes, I know that He can do everything; the Bible says so. But there are limits, aren't there? The only way God could answer this particular prayer would be by sending me a parcel from the homeland. I had been in Africa for almost four years at that time, and I had never, ever, received a parcel from home.

Anyway, if anyone did send me a parcel, who would put in a hot water bottle? I lived on the equator!

Halfway through the afternoon, while I was teaching in the nurses' training school, a message was sent that there was a car at my front door. By the time I reached home, the car had gone, but there on the verandah was a large 22-pound parcel. I felt tears pricking my eyes. I could not open the parcel alone, so I sent for the orphanage children... Together we pulled off the string, carefully undoing each knot. We folded the paper, taking care not to tear it unduly Excitement was mounting. Some thirty or forty pairs of eyes were focused on the large cardboard box. >From the top, I lifted out brightly-colored, knitted jerseys. Eyes sparkled as I gave them out. Then there were the knitted bandages for the leprosy patients, and the children looked a little bored.. Then came a box of mixed raisins and sultanas - that would make a batch of buns for the weekend.

Then, as I put my hand in again, I felt the.....could it really be?

I grasped it and pulled it out. Yes, a brand new, rubber hot water bottle. I cried. I had not asked God to send it; I had not truly believed that He could.

Ruth was in the front row of the children. She rushed forward, crying out, 'If God has sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly, too!'

Rummaging down to the bottom of the box, she pulled out the small, beautifully-dressed dolly. Her eyes shone! She had never doubted!

Looking up at me, she asked, 'Can I go over with you and give this dolly to that little girl, so she'll know that Jesus really loves her?'

'Of course,' I replied!

That parcel had been on the way for five whole months, packed up by my former Sunday school class, whose leader had heard and obeyed God's prompting to send a hot water bottle, even to the equator..

And one of the girls had put in a dolly for an African child - five months before, in answer to the believing prayer of a ten-year-old to bring it 'that afternoon.'

'Before they call, I will answer.' (Isaiah 65:24)

surround yourself with people who make you laugh

2011-11-15T14:58:00.001-06:00

An old man once said, "There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

How about you?

2011-11-15T12:48:00.001-06:00

Freedom requires a persevering fight, and most people aren't courageous enough to see it through (ask Joshua and Caleb). How about you?

is He there?

Love has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). If love isn't there, is He there?

Paint Your Destiny!
by Kenneth Copeland

How many times have you heard someone say, “I sure do wish God would do something for me”? The rest of the statement hangs unspoken in the air: “but He probably won’t.”

That’s not faith. That’s unbelief. But it works the same way faith works—only backward. Fear is actually faith going the wrong way. Fear is faith in the negative dimension. It’s faith in failure, danger or harm. When someone is meditating on negative thoughts or “worrying,” as we call it, he or she is developing inner pictures. Not pictures of hope, but pictures of despair.

Just as fear is the flip side of faith, despair is the flip side of hope. It’s an inner image of failure, sickness, poverty or whatever else the devil wants to inject into you. Despair is actually hope in the negative, and fear, like faith, brings it to pass.

Do you see how powerful this process is that controls the course of your life? These inner images, whether they be of hope or despair, become the blueprint for your faith or fear, and ultimately control your destiny.

What you must do is dig into the Word and begin building your hope. Start developing God’s pictures within you. As long as you have an image of your own defeat on the inside of you, you’re destined to be defeated on the outside as well. But change that inner image with the Word of God and no demon in hell will be able to hold you down.

Jesus came to change the inner man. “If ye continue in my word,” He told us, “then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-32).

Get that truth working on the inside of you. Put it in there until hope begins to paint new pictures in your heart. Then hang on to those pictures relentlessly. Don’t ever let them go. Eventually, inevitably, faith will make those pictures as real on the outside as they are on the inside.

“For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he....” It’s the pictures inside you that determine your destiny. Paint some new pictures. God’s Word is full of them. The question is—are you?

eat your words

"A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction." Proverbs 13:2-3 KJV

"A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Proverbs 18:20-21 KJV

hand in hand

2011-11-12T19:36:00.002-06:00

"Peace and prosperity go hand in hand." Gloria Copeland

"Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you in the way that you should go. Oh, that you had hearkened to My commandments! Then your peace and prosperity would have been like a flowing river, and your righteousness [the holiness and purity of the nation] like the [abundant] waves of the sea." Isaiah 48:17-18 AMP

Confess this—everyday!

2011-11-12T15:52:00.001-06:00

This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it.

I rejoice because His Word declares that His BLESSING is on my life and with His BLESSING comes favor.

I decree that THE BLESSING will work in my behalf today and that His favor will go before me and open doors that no man can shut.

His favor will change rules, regulations and policies if necessary and cause me to be on top in every situation I am confronted with.

Today is my receiving day and I fully expect manifestations of THE BLESSING to come on me and overtake me, in Jesus Name!

faith and authority

2011-11-11T14:31:00.000-06:00

"God is not moved by need, because Satan causes need. God is moved by faith. If God moved only on the basis of need, He would be following Satan, because Satan is the one lighting all the fires and God would be running around putting them out. What moves the Hand of God and the legal coin of the spirit realm is faith and authority." Billye Brim

that's abundance, isn't it?

2011-11-11T12:53:00.001-06:00

Confess it, meditate on it, believe it and live it (Joshua 1:8)!

And God is able to make all grace abound toward me; that I, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8 KJV).

...I have all, and abound: I am full... And my God shall supply all my need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:16-19 KJV)

"...that's to supply your need here on earth like you were in glory! OOOH, that's abundance, isn't it?" Charles Capps

I am BLESSED, because my delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law do I meditate day and night. I am like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth her fruit in her season; my leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever I do shall prosper. (Psalm 1:1-3)

trust Him to teach you and guide you

2011-11-11T10:28:00.000-06:00

Jesus said that the Spirit of Truth will teach you all things, guide you into all Truth and will show you things to come (John 14:26; John 16:13). Many people ask God to lead and guide them. Is the Spirit of Truth not doing what Jesus said He would do, or are you not listening?

Believe what Jesus said; be still and know that He is God...listen to Him...meditate on His Word (His Will) and trust Him to teach you and guide you.

a covenant with better promises

"God wants you to be more well off than what you're willing to be. He needs you with more than enough, or you won't be able to help anyone else." Kenneth Copeland

that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God

2011-11-09T10:22:00.002-06:00

Most people don't receive their prayers answered, because they are conformed to the world and not to the will of God.

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:2 KJV

His Word is His Will.

"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." John 15:7 KJV

"And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." 1 John 5:14-15 KJV

The Law of Seedtime and Harvest

2011-11-09T09:20:00.000-06:00

If you read [Genesis 1:29; Genesis 8:22; Galatians 6:7] very closely, it clearly reveals that God has given us the authority to determine our own destiny based upon the seeds that we sow. It’s called 'The Law of Seedtime and Harvest' or 'Sowing and Reaping.'

If your life is one of happiness, it’s because you have sown seeds of happiness. If you live a miserable life, it’s because you have been planting negative seeds. Think about what you’ve planted in your mind?

The good news is that you can dig up and replant.

The seeds you decide to sow make you responsible for your success or failure, your prosperity or poverty, your victory or defeat, your happiness or misery. Your mind is the field. What will you plant?

day by day, hour by hour in touch with God

2011-11-09T08:51:00.001-06:00

"Divine healing is the removal by the power of God of the disease that is come upon the body, but divine health is to live day by day, hour by hour in touch with God." John G. Lake

It is SOOO MUCH FUN watching my eight-year-old son walk day by day, hour by hour in touch with God!

faith in His LOVE

2011-11-09T08:26:00.001-06:00

Ever wonder why sincere ministers of the Gospel (Good News) prosper? They are always hearing the Word (faith in His LOVE comes by hearing)!

Satan's worst nightmare

2011-11-08T21:15:00.001-06:00

"Satan's worst nightmare is somebody called of God—that has money enough to carry it out." Kenneth Copeland

leave something behind

2011-11-08T19:25:00.001-06:00

"Whatever it is you feel God has called you to do in your life, it's so important to leave something behind." Evelyn Roberts

a place where there is no hope...

2011-11-07T20:52:00.001-06:00

"You cannot walk in faith and follow the natural reasoning world; you're going to come up to a place where there is no hope..." Kenneth Copeland

just because God said it

2011-11-07T17:41:00.002-06:00

"The spirit of faith believes God's Word just because God said it—whether natural circumstances seem to agree or not (2 Corinthians 4:13, 18)... It's faith that reaches into the realm of the spirit, grasps the promise of God and brings forth a tangible, physical fulfillment of that promise." Gloria Copeland

you are necessary

2011-11-07T16:06:00.001-06:00

"There's NO ONE like our GOD and there's NO ONE like YOU! You're uniquely loved-crafted-anointed-graced-and necessary!" Lisa Bevere

life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh

2011-11-07T14:37:00.002-06:00

Did you know the Word of God has the power to transform (Romans 12:2; Hebrews 4:12) any physical problem into health and wholeness (Psalm 107:20), any lack into prosperity (2 Corinthians 9:6-11), any bondage into freedom (John 8:31-32)?

"My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." Proverbs 4:20-22 KJV

It doesn't happen by merely reading it; you must confess it daily, meditate on it 24/7, believe and adhere to every word...until the Truth that sets free overrides all other opposing reality (Joshua 1:8; Romans 10:8-9)!

"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." John 15:7 KJV

come out supernaturally every time

2011-11-07T14:34:00.001-06:00

"People with the spirit of faith always receive the blessings of God. They may go through tests and trials but they come out supernaturally every time." Gloria Copeland

what you will become

2011-11-07T09:51:00.001-06:00

Did you know that your life tends to go in the direction of your most dominant thoughts? Your most dominant thoughts will always materialize. They will always become reality. This is why you have to constantly monitor your thoughts. Be selective about what you think.

"The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand." (Isaiah 14:24)

Your most dominant thoughts determine the course of your life. What you think about the most is what you will become.

"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies." Psalm 112:7-8 KJV

It is better than trusting men

"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." Psalm 118:8 KJV

Cannot be moved; is like Mount Zion that abides forever

"They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever." Psalm 125:1 KJV

Will be aware of God's lovingkindness, and will cause him to know where he walks

"Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee." Psalm 143:8 KJV

God will direct his paths

Will have an answer for those who provoke him

"Then shall I have an answer for those who taunt and reproach me, for I lean on, rely on, and trust in Your word." Psalm 119:42 AMP

How does God prioritize faith?

2011-11-06T19:00:00.002-06:00

"...For whatever does not originate and proceed from faith is sin [whatever is done without a conviction of its approval by God is sinful]." Romans 14:23 AMP

"But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out]." Hebrews 11:6 AMP

God credits faith as righteousness:

"For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed in (trusted in) God, and it was credited to his account as righteousness (right living and right standing with God)." Romans 4:3 AMP

Yes, even a prostitute is credited in the Hall of Faith:

"[Prompted] by faith Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed along with those who refused to believe and obey, because she had received the spies in peace [without enmity]." Hebrews 11:31 AMP

Jesus said you could move mountains by having faith in God...and receive whatever you desire in prayer believing (Mark 11:22-24).

Faith is the victory that overcomes and conquers the world (1 John 5:4)!

"NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]." Hebrews 11:1 AMP

...and yet, most of us believe in only what we can see, touch, taste, smell and hear.

works like investment

2011-11-06T14:46:00.003-06:00

"When we seek we receive—with the same measure that we go after the things of God. However much we're walking in the light of God's Word...is how much victory and success we have. However much we seek the Lord is how much good we get back from Him. Whatever we give to Him, He just multiplies it and gives it back to us. He is a good God, and He is looking for seekers that He can work with (The Parable of the Sower; Matthew 13; Mark 4; Luke 8)." Gloria Copeland

shall not want any good thing

2011-11-06T08:52:00.000-06:00

‎"...they that SEEK the Lord shall not want any good thing." Psalm 34:10 KJV

overrides all other opposing reality

2011-11-05T19:39:00.002-05:00

The promises of God are not manifest automatically, but are received by those who work the Word so diligently that the Word overrides all other opposing reality.

"And He said to them, Be careful what you are hearing. The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you—and more [besides] will be given to you who hear." Mark 4:24 AMP

It's in revelation that one receives.

every prayer is answered

2011-11-04T23:57:00.000-05:00

"If the Word abides in you, then what you will would be what God wills...and every prayer is answered (John 15:7)." Charles Capps

true prosperity

2011-10-31T13:38:00.000-05:00

"To prosper is to excel, to go to the highest place, in anything desired. True prosperity is allowing God's ability and power to flow through you to meet the needs of mankind—regardless of what those needs may be—spiritually, emotionally, mentally, relationally, financially, or in any other area in life. Those ministered to, in turn, are raised up, strengthened and become powerful. God wants to bring you to that place in His prosperity where THE BLESSING on you and in you creates a Garden of Eden wherever you go (Genesis 1:28; Psalm 35:27; 3 John 2)!" Kenneth Copeland

"True prosperity is the ability to look a man in the eye in his moment of impossibility and take his need as your own." Kenneth Copeland

exceeds the pain of change

2011-10-31T07:37:00.001-05:00

"Change is painful. Few people have the courage to seek out change. Most people won't change until the pain of where they are exceeds the pain of change." Dave Ramsey

received and acted upon

2011-10-30T14:05:00.001-05:00

"If a thing is in the Bible it is so; it is not even to be prayed about; it is to be received and acted upon." Smith Wigglesworth

bigger and bigger—faster and faster

2011-10-28T21:48:00.001-05:00

The life of faith is like a snowball. When that ball of BLESSINGS begins to roll, it just gets bigger and bigger—rolling faster and faster!

Observe the condition of the world...and most of the church!

2011-10-28T12:45:00.004-05:00

"Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit." Jeremiah 17:5-8 KJV

Be like a tree planted by the waters...trusting steadfastly in the LORD!

"It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." Psalm 118:8 KJV

Are you hearing Him?

2011-10-28T12:25:00.001-05:00

The Spirit of Truth is teaching you and guiding all the time (John 14:17, 26; John 16:7, 13). Are you hearing Him?

impossible to live without

2011-10-28T05:05:00.001-05:00

"There is no such thing as victorious Christian living without a moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day dependence upon the Spirit of God. Not only is the Christian life hard to live but it is impossible to live without the power of God Himself (John 16:7)." Andrew Wommack

what you say is what you sow

2011-10-22T15:44:00.000-05:00

"What you say is what you sow." Charles Capps

"A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Proverbs 18:20-21 KJV

on earth like it is in heaven

2011-10-22T15:08:00.001-05:00

"So many people say, 'If it's God's will for such and such to happen, then I guess it will happen to me.' No, it won't happen to you just because it is the will of God; that's not the way things work. It is the will of God that it be on earth like it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10). You don't have to be very old to figure out that it's not that way." Charles Capps

it shall be established for you

2011-10-22T12:42:00.001-05:00

"You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God's favor] shall shine upon your ways." Job 22:28 AMP

Do this with the promises of God...until they manifest in your life!

His power and His ability on your behalf

2011-10-22T11:05:00.002-05:00

"The Holy Spirit said to me one time, Grace is more than unmerited favor. Grace is God's willingness to use His power and His ability on your behalf." Charles Capps

When you're in your place, you have His grace. My pastor Keith Moore did a POWERFUL series called "Graces and Places" (you can download it here for free).

"Grace and peace is multiplied through the knowledge of God (2 Peter 1:2 KJV). The more knowledge you have of God, His ways and His Word, it multiplies God's willingness toward you." Charles Capps

abundant life

2011-10-18T17:03:00.003-05:00

‎"There is no abundant life apart from hearing the voice of the Good Shepherd (John 10:1-10)." Jeremy Pearsons

Are you living an excessive, beyond measure lifestyle? If not, you're not living the life Jesus came to give you. The Good Shepherd is longing to lead you there—if you will choose to hear His voice.

Abundantly: περισσός per-is-sos'

from 4012 (in the sense of beyond); superabundant (in quantity) or superior (in quality); by implication, excessive; adverbially (with 1537) violently; neuter (as noun) preeminence:--exceeding abundantly above, more abundantly, advantage, exceedingly, very highly, beyond measure, more, superfluous, vehement(-ly).

"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV

He is...

2011-10-18T14:56:00.001-05:00

He is ABUNDANT LIFE (John 10:10)! He is ABOUNDING LOVE (2 Thessalonians 1:3)! He is AUTHORITATIVE LIGHT (John 8:12)!

key to THE BLESSING

2011-10-18T10:15:00.001-05:00

Why aren't you living in the RICH BLESSING of God? You're simply not obedient. From Genesis to Revelation, obedience is key to THE BLESSING.

the good fight of faith

2011-10-17T21:52:00.001-05:00

"You can't have a victory without a battle. So if you want to win, you've got to fight, but only the 'good fight of faith' (Timothy 6:12)." Jesse Duplantis

what you can be

2011-10-17T21:48:00.001-05:00

"Do you have a vision for a successful week? Remember, sight has to do with what you can see but vision has to do with what you can be." Victoria Osteen

certainties about God's will and favour and power

2011-10-17T07:24:00.001-05:00

"Three certainties about God's will: 1) It comes in His time. 2) It involves sacrifices. 3) The blessing outweighs the cost!

Three certainties about God's favour: 1) It's undeserved. 2) It reflects His nature. 3) It serves His purposes!

Three certainties about God's power: 1) He IS all powerful. 2) No force can resist Him. 3) His power is in the NAME of JESUS!" Brian Houston

manifestation is on its way

2011-10-15T14:47:00.001-05:00

"A person who is relentless is not easily swayed. They have locked into the faith of God, and manifestation is on its way!" Creflo Dollar

have the faith and expectancy

2011-10-14T21:12:00.001-05:00

"If you never fully understand what THE BLESSING can produce in your life, you will never have the faith and expectancy to place a draw on it." Jerry Savelle

true humility

2011-10-14T20:58:00.001-05:00

"True humility is agreeing with what God’s Word says about who you are, and doing what God’s Word says you can do." Andrew Wommack

bring your will into alignment

2011-10-14T08:40:00.002-05:00

"Choose to align your thoughts, words and actions with God's words and you'll bring your will into alignment with HIS plan for your life." Rick Renner

BIG or small

2011-10-13T10:18:00.000-05:00

Don't you believe it honors God Almighty for you to ask and believe for BIG things of His Majesty and Power? How BIG or small is He to you?

please God

2011-10-12T19:22:00.001-05:00

When you step into worry or fear, you step out of faith and trust in God. Without faith it's impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).

watch your joy gauge and your peace gauge

2011-10-11T11:19:00.000-05:00

"Two of the most outstanding characteristics of faith is joy and peace... If people are frantic, anxious, fearful, upset...depressed and down they're not in faith (Romans 15:13). As you travel down life's road in your faith mobile, there are two gauges that you need to keep an eye on: your joy gauge and your peace gauge. If you see your joy and peace gauge over on 'E', you better do something. If it stays on 'E' very long your faith mobile is going to sputter to a stop and leave you on the roadside of doubt and unbelief." Keith Moore

have confident expectation

2011-10-11T10:01:00.001-05:00

"He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them." Psalm 145:19 KJV

"The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted." Proverbs 10:24 KJV

"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Mark 11:24 KJV

"And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." 1 John 5:14-15 KJV

therefore choose life

2011-10-11T08:51:00.001-05:00

"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them." Deuteronomy 30:19-20 KJV

fully-developed love

2011-10-10T21:04:00.001-05:00

"Love contains no fear—indeed fully-developed love expels every particle of fear..." 1 John 4:18 PHILLIPS

what air is to tires

2011-10-10T19:57:00.001-05:00

"Love is to faith what air is to tires." Kenneth Copeland

largeness of heart

2011-10-10T17:18:00.001-05:00

"Did you notice the man that was large on the inside was the richest man?" Keith Moore

"And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore." 1 Kings 4:29 KJV

How's it workin' for ya?

2011-10-09T11:27:00.001-05:00

"If you're not excited about the things of God, it just won't work for you!" Phyllis Moore

who receives THE BLESSING

2011-10-08T20:22:00.001-05:00

"He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart... He shall receive the blessing from the Lord..." Psalm 24:4-5 KJV

would you?

2011-10-08T17:46:00.001-05:00

Would you pay an employee who opposes your instructions as an employer? Would you then expect God to prosper those who oppose His will?
