Singing unto the Lord is a powerful way to Bless the heart of God especially when you Sing the Psalms. 1 Chron. 16:9 “Sing unto Him, Sing Psalms unto Him, talk ye of all His wondrous works.” Ps. 105:2 declares this thought again: “Sing unto Him, Sing Psalms unto Him: talk ye of all His wondrous works.”

Through our Saviour we will Triumph! He is the source of our strength, “a present help in the time of trouble!” To Triumph in the Works of His hands is a most powerful statement. Consider the Works of our Creator, and ponder the glorious Gift of Jesus as He has Redeemed us, He is in the Believer who is serious about Him, He surrounds us day and night and He will never leave us. Let us say “I Will...

Real people standing against the seasons of their lives that were difficult, but it did not detour them from what God required of them. It was a testing and trying season, but God was there all the time.

Are we waiting patiently, full of expectation for the Holy Ghost to flow a fresh through our hearts and souls? This is the question the Lord spoke to me. I thoughts sure ... but then I felt the urgency of the question. I heard the voice of the Lord stir deep in my heart. We are going to need this Holy Ghost power more than we ever imagined as we face these days of the devil's torment. This Holy Gh...

We are in a “Pressing” mode – pressing to overcome the fear of our day; pressing to stand against the works of darkness; pressing to be obedient to the His Voice, and pressing to – well just overcome all the things that have transpired this past year. The great news is this: “No weapon formed against us will prosper!” – we may be partakers of hardship, but “Our Hope is steadfast” – Jesus has never...

The heart of this message is "that no one come behind in the gifts of God." As the testimony of Christ is confirmed in you, you are a witness of God's great gift of salvation!

I Cor. 12:5, 28, 11 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

O the glorious gifts of God, search them out, meditate upon them and you will sense the powerful presence of your Lord and Saviour. I will pray with the Spirit, I will sing with the Spirit, and I will sing with understanding...to understand we must fill our life with His Word.

What the Church of Jesus Christ needs today is a "fresh burning" a desire to plunge into the heart of God. Could we be like the disciples? We know spiritual things but are not experiencing the power of the precious Holy Spirit.

This power we need, a power that will bring us into eternal life. Yes, sustain us while we "witness" of Jesus on this earth. O the power of resurrection, we know about it, we talk about it, but there is a depth to reach that will push our faith beyond the flesh and keep us from the hours of temptation.

Jesus moves onward to bring salvation to all humanity, even those who would persecute Him. He could do this because He trusted His Father. There is power in us when we trust our God and His Son, our Savior.

God was gracious to offer His beloved Son to the Gentiles. We are a blessed people. We must embrace the "Power of Trust!" Trust is the "firm belief in the reliability, truth, strength of someone." That someone is Jesus! After Peter's struggle, we hear him say... "I'm a servant of Jesus Christ," to them that have obtained like precious faith.. The trial of your faith, being much more precious than...

Heb. 12:2 resonates once more in my soul - "Look to Jesus, He is the author and finisher of our faith!" He could see the "joy" that would come because of His sacrifice, yet He cried out for the Father to relieve Him of the moment. As the angel drew near, Jesus was strengthened! And "joy" overtook Him and we are blessed as we trust in Him!

Hebrews 12:2 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

His desire was to please His Father, and while He was tempted, His trust in the Father's will strengthened Him for the task that lay ahead.

This is a powerful request of Jesus, it is a command straight from the heart of our Lord and Saviour! It is easy to be friendly, but to show unfeigned love go someone is special, but most important; is that our love be an example of the believer and that is to love all humanity, Jesus being our example.

God says, "I will do new things, and before they spring forth I tell you of them!" Can the house of the righteous stand in the wonderment of God's doings? God is doing what He has promised to His house the believers ... He speaks to the Church telling us "He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us."

Could it be that our strength is according to our love for God and His people? As we are experiencing the signs of the times, wherein Jesus has warned us about, the last days...How strong is our love, how much do we love our neighbor?

This is a great hour for the saints, we can be a witness of spiritual strength as we go about our daily responsibilities. Our world need a witness of God's love, strength, and faith in this hour! We sing the song, "More of You Lord, More of You."

"Stand, See, Ask for the old paths." What are the "Old Paths?" Love God with our whole being! Love our neighbor as our self. Withstand the evil of our day - Shod our feet with the gospel - Stand fast in the Holy Spirit - Open our eyes, that we may behold wondrous things.

When we magnify Him we "increase" our love for Him! Such increase of our Lord causes hope to arise, peace springs forth, and we remember God is for us and no weapon formed by the enemy can daunt the power of His blood that covers us!

It is good to be reminded that God is requiring His people to stand strong in the face of this hour of darkness. Let us think what we would like to "get done" as we enter this New Year!" Let's Get It Done in 2021!

Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. No wonder Isaiah wrote (12:3) "Therefore with joy shall ye draw water our of the wells of salvation." Oh, that our joy might be full in Jesus, our life giver - O let...

This is the holiest time of the year as we celebrate "Salvation Has Come!" The gifts of Christ that He has given to us can not be purchased with monies, they are powerful gifts of His love. Let's take a look at these gifts; joy, peace, grace, mercy, forgiveness, and eternal life!
