Encouraging Words

Every Christian wants to change the world, but most of us struggle to live out in our flesh what we feel in our hearts. The effective Christian life is more than God inside of you; it’s God seen on the outside of you. It’s more than God in your heart; it’s God in your flesh. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is God’s plan to empower your flesh or natural life so the God who lives on the inside of you...

The basis for Christianity is not working to earn your reward, it’s reaping what’s been planted. Jesus was planted in the ground and produced a harvest that all of God’s children can eat from.

While it’s easy to get focused on all the things God can do for us, our true inheritance as God’s children is Jesus Himself. Within the person of Jesus is everything you and I will ever need.

Did you know that your mind and emotions can get cluttered? The Bible teaches us to carefully put away every trial we’ve gone through into one place in our minds and in our hearts.

People are messy, and the closer you get to them the more you see their mistakes and flaws. That’s why many people keep a safe distance from others, but Jesus demonstrated how true ministry is done by coming to earth and getting involved in our mess. If you want to truly help others, you’re going to have to get messy.

You are a mess…and so am I. God is aware of our faults, failures, weakness, missteps, and mistakes, and He is able to use our messy lives to share His message of love and life to the world around us. Let me teach you how a messy person can be a great messenger for Jesus

When you finally realize that you can’t save yourself, that you can’t make things right, and that you are not God, you’re free to step off the throne and let God be God. Have you reached the end of yourself?

Christians: Your Faith is under attack! There is a covert and coordinated attack designed to convince you to abandon faith in Jesus Christ. No, it’s not the work of the government. It’s the work of Satan. But if you are aware and ready you can be one of those who endures. You can be one of the faithful who keeps the faith and hears the Lord say, “Well Done!”

If you want to live an effective Christian life, you must take off your old life and clothe yourself with Jesus. The more you think like Jesus, speak like Jesus, and act like Jesus, the more people will see Jesus in you, and the more you will see Jesus in yourself.
