The Spoken Word

In Matthew 16:18 we are told that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church. Despite all opposition, regardless of its source, what God has intended for us will come to pass. God has created good works in Christ, before the foundation of the world, that we should do. He called us intentionally and purposefully, He sanctified us and set us apart and He placed His glory upon us and withi...

But you have an anointing from the Holy One [you have been set apart, specifically gifted and prepared by the Holy spirit], and all of you know [the truth because He teaches us, illuminated our minds, and guards us from error]. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie [nothing false, no deception] is of the truth. (1 John 20-21) I...

Impacting lives for eternity through the teaching of God's word that His people might be established to express and advance His kingdom in the earth.

Where God guides, He also graciously provides. God’s provision goes beyond food, drink, and clothing, the creature comforts of life. God gives everything necessary and essential to live the life He calls us to successfully and to fulfill that which He has purposed for us. Even still that does not negate our human responsibility, remember we are co-laborers, ours is a stewardship and like God is fa...

The Bible says, in 1 John 4:18 "Fear has torment", it can be the source of agony and emotional agony, but it also says "Perfect love casts out fear." There's a place where fear has to face the God you know." He is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in times of trouble. We have to learn and practice the act of casting our cares on Him, because He cares for...

God watches over, cares for, and works all things together for good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. He involves Himself in their affairs intervening in their affairs to bring the resolution that leads to the a good end that positions the righteous to fulfill their destiny.

God is sovereign, He controls all things in creation. He is faithful to His Word, His compassionate nature, and as such He will fulfill all that He has spoken; He can be trusted. We then should seek Him, His will, and His provision, which He willfully supplies to those who are called by His name. But, we must learn to be patient, content and of good courage as we trust in the unfolding of His plan...

God is able to fulfill all His good promise for us apart from our manipulative efforts, our flaws and imperfections, but we need to learn patience, contentment and we need to wait on Him and be of good courage.

We have to learn to trust in God’s promises, we need to be able to recognize moments, times, seasons, places and spaces in life that are sacred and hold them in proper esteem. We have to commit to our faith walk and learn to embrace the transformative power of these encounters.

God has made a choice to us the man Abraham to bless mankind. He promised him a seed, despite Abram’s ability to reproduce. God is working in creation to eventually redeem us from the power of sin. Despite all external opposition, despite our own flaws and failures God’s faithfulness remains steadfast. God can and will fulfill all His promises and we can rest in the assurance of His unwavering fai...

We learn from Genesis 27 that despite our efforts as human beings God’s purposes will prevail. God, before the birth of Isaac and Rebekah’s children predetermined that the blessing should go to Jacob. Isaac desired for Esau to be the recipient of the blessing and Rebekah thought she needed to help God fulfill what He had purposed. Jacob’s eventual blessing aligned with what God had purposed, but t...

There is a way that seems to right to us, it seems right but it’s not and it leads to destruction. We need to learn God’s will and give Him opportunity to bring His purposes to completion. We have to take the word God sends and mix it with faith, wait on Him and be of good courage. God doesn’t need our help; He needs our obedience and submission to His plans. He is both willing and able to bring t...

The Bible shows us that our need of help is normal, it's by design of God, as aspect of human life and not failure. God is our ultimate helper and our asking for His help is a show of humility. Also, by design of God we can co-labor with God, but God does not need our help, in the way we need His, to bring to pass the things He desires, He is not like us, yet we are like Him. Whenever we deter...

God Himself is holy and He calls us to be holy. God is faithful and He calls us to likewise be faithful. We are to walk in the light as He is in the light, then we can have fellowship with Him and other saints. He calls us to this manner of living even when we are without strength to perform it, why; because He gives us grace, divine enablement. God is sovereign, His is a covenant keeper, and by H...

No matter where we are, what we’re up against, God is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all we can conceive; but it is according to His power that works in us. The power of God that works in believers is the immeasurable, active energy of Holy Spirit. It’s not any human effort, but rather divine power which enables us to desire and to act according to God’s purpose and to live out our faith...

When we are willing and obedient God is able to make all grace abound toward us and He can even make our enemies live a peace with us. But, we must commit our way to Him, trust in Him and live a life totally committed to Him. Others will be observing, make the choice to walk upright, let your words be seasoned with grace and guard your testimony by speaking truth. God will watch over you to insure...

God works sovereignly in all things for our good, according to His purposes. God prepares us, He prepares our place, and He prepares people to be receptive of us; but He does it all for His glory and the fulfillment of His purposes so that His will can be accomplished. He pulls one down and sets up another as He moves in time to complete the work He has started, all the while we are navigating our...

The only thing I need I already have. The fullness of His mercy in my hand (4Him). Let me explain it to you, hopefully in words you will be able to understand.

We learned earlier that God has spoken and yet speaks to mankind, He is persistent is His efforts to guide His people. He has used prophets, visions, similes, allegories, metaphors, hypo catastasis, types and analogies (see Hos. 12:10). In Job Elihu said that He speaks once, twice and men do not perceive, Peter said that some of us are willingly ignorant. The truth is we can be rebellious and diso...

Grief is a natural part of life, but as Christians we are not to grieve as if we don’t have a future hope. Likewise, death is a natural part of life, but if we die in Christ our future is secure. While we live we are to operate in integrity, be honest and just in our transactions, make plans to leave an inheritance for those who come after us, but the greatest legacy we can leave is a godly hope;...
