"Then the LORD will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering. And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain." (Isaiah 4:5-6 NKJV) We are citizens of the Kingdom of...

"Then He brought him outside and said, 'Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.' And He said to him, 'So shall your descendants be.'" (Genesis 15:5 NKJV) It's time to look up at the stars and remember what God said. When you remember what He has promised, you get back into hope, into faith. You release the hand of God, and the power of His word will explode into...

At the cross, Jesus purchased every promise for us, including restoration. So, no matter what you have lost, according to His Word, you can believe God for restoration. And the thing about our God is that He doesn't only restore you; He brings you more—His promise is a double portion. "Instead of your shame, you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace, you will rejoice in your inher...

Everything is fighting for your resources, maybe now more than ever. The news, politics, gas prices, social media, Netflix... they're all loud, and they all want your attention. But my Bible says, "Do not be conformed to this world." It's all just noise—weeds—fighting for your resources. "Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word, but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of w...

We can look at our life, marriage, spouse, job... and see what's missing. We can look at ourselves, say, "I'm not enough," and go down a path of condemnation and guilt. And, if I'm no good, then you're no good. Do we drink from the cup of criticism and judgment, looking for what's wrong with ourselves and others, or do we look for and speak the good things?

NEWSFLASH: Satan doesn't like you. He's actually afraid of you and the Word of God working on the inside of you. The parable of the sower and the seed shows how the Lord wants to grow you into a devil-butt-kicking machine, but "Some [seed] fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture." (Luke 8:6) The enemy comes to steal the seed, but God wants to use...

There is God's way of thinking and our way of thinking, and we can get so set in our own ways that we miss what is better! God wants to grow and change your world. "A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it." (Luke 8:5)

"But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience." (Luke 8:15) So, let's talk about hearing the word of God--the starting line to your growth in every area of the LORD.

It's easy to trust God and have faith when everything is going great, but what about when we're knocked down, stranded, dead in the water with a full-on storm approaching? There is a lion in each of us who refuses to give up the fight. I STILL BELIEVE!

"Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." This is the ministry of reconciliation. And reconciliation doesn't stop with people; it includes things, property, and influence. The reason things continue to get worse isn't that God is missing; it's that we are not yet in the position He has given us. The world's wealth is laid up for the just; it's waiting for us to take our pl...

The enemy has lied to us and has believers attacking believers in the name of Christianity. Brothers are attacking one another. Christians are throwing stones and persecuting the church and each other. But we are stronger together, so let's talk about unity in the body of Christ! "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" (Psalm 133:1)

No matter how far you go, there will always be others who have gone further--this is the order of God. No matter where you are, some have not been there yet. And so, no one escapes the responsibility to consider those who have not yet been where we have been. Let the mothers and fathers rise and raise the sons and daughters!

What is YOUR cross? Your cross is self-sacrifice. It's what you will carry for others; it's what you will give up for the benefit of someone else. Your cross is what you will do for someone other than yourself. "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake wi...

Let's talk about the Cross Walk--not an actual crosswalk, but the taking-up of our cross and following Christ. Unleash the Jesus within you; let Him roar, and watch what he will do in your life. "Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his...

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." (Galatians 2:20) Because of Jesus, you have been rescued and set free. "Free from what?" you might ask. Free from fear, anxiety, worry, regret, guilt, condemnation, pain, trauma, abuse, poor decision-making, etc. Jesus has opened the door to the Kingdom of God where there is blessing, healing, strength in weakness, t...

"But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." (2 Timothy 4:5) What is your ministry? It's your world. You are a neighbor, a worker, an owner, a broker, a teacher, a mom, a friend, a sister, a daughter... your ministry is yours--it's unique--and you're already in it.

"I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham." (Genesis 26:24b) The word "blessed" here means it's fused to your born-again spirit, merged, married to it. It isn't just on you; it's in you. It's part of your identity.

"And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, 'O you of little faith, why did you doubt?'" (Matthew 14:31) "Why did you doubt?" It's a great question, and it begs an answer. God has called us to a walk-on-water kind of life, and it's important to know where there is doubt creeping in because it will steal what God has given you.

"He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.'" (Acts 13:22) David's heart represented God's heart, which is love. For God is love. Let's look at the love of God through the lens of David's heart and find the key to making relationships work.

Advancement doesn't come through the gift; advancement comes from putting effort into the gift. Although God has given so much to us, and He wants us at the top of the mountain, part of advancement comes from good old-fashioned, hard work--giving our best and putting in the effort. "The one who had received five talents went off right away and put his money to work and gained five more." (Matthew...

What do you want? Do you believe God? If you don't put what you believe into motion, tomorrow, you will be exactly where you are today. It's time to shake off that depression, addiction, anger, sickness, poverty, bitterness, regret--put your faith in motion.

A person carrying good news is a person with great expectations. They have a positive attitude about the past, the present, and the future. "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, 'Your God reigns!' " (Isaiah 52:7)

Jesus has a strategy to win. The answers are all IN Him and in KNOWING Him. Your part is to get that knowledge in you and grow it to understanding.

Yes, God's promises are by faith, but many are kept in our understanding. He's already given us the land, but we must understand to dwell there. The world has us so distracted that it has taken our time to think, yet good decisions come from good understanding. So let's take back the time.
