The Covenant Names Of God

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe (Proverbs 18:10). God revealed Himself in the Old Testament through covenant names. Through these names, He reveals who He is, and what His attitude towards us is like. Let’s examine this for the next couple of days in this blog. The Father is absolutely committed to our care. He calls Himself the Shepherd by the covenant name Jehovah Raah in Psalm 23:1. We are His sheep. He has loved us enough to ma

Let God’s Grace Help You In Every Detail Of Life Today

But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in your weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me. So for

God’s Love And Care Surrounds Us!

Who gave Himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works (Titus 2:14). He gave His life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good deeds (NLT) The word peculiar in the above verse shows us just how much the Father loves us. When we think of the word peculiar, we think of something or someone who is so out of the ordinary that t

The Holy Spirit Wants To Be Your Helper

If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever — the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you (John 14:15-18). Jesus was everything to the disciples. He met their every need during His three and a half years of ministry. If they

Your Words Activate Your Faith

And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak (2 Corinthians 4:13). For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says (Mark 11:23) Faith cannot be released from your heart to the Father without words. You could say

You Have God’s Favor Today!

For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield (Psalm 5:12). As the people of God, we have obtained His favor. When we made Jesus the Lord of our lives, we joined heaven’s team. Before that, we were under the control of the prince of the power of the air, that is, the demonic forces who work with Satan to hinder human life, and to thwart the purposes of God. Now, we’ve been delivered from the control and dominion of darkness, and

Angels – We Are Not Alone

Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word (Psalm 103:20). We are not alone. Not only do we have the Spirit of God to enable us and help us from within, but we also have the help of the angels of God from without. The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them (Psalm 34:7). For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up,

Persistent Prayer Brings God’s Power Into Your Life!

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up (Luke 18:1 – NIV). Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints (Ephesians 6:18). The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working] (James 5:16 – Amplified). Prayer brings the power of the kingdom of God into t

The Bible Is Filled With God’s Power To Change You!

I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart (Psalm 40:8) The Word is filled with creative power. It has the power to change your desires, to move you to change your behavior and life focus. David went from being an adulterous murderer to a person who delighted in God and in doing His will. What made the drastic change? The Word! The word contains in it the very power of God! Jesus said the words that I speak are spirit and life. Paul was preaching in

God, My Father

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. May my meditation be sweet to Him; I will be glad in the Lord (Psalm 104:33-34) My Father reigns supreme over all. When I’m lonely or confused I go to Him and pour my heart out. He knows exactly how I feel and infuses me with courage and strength. When unrelenting fear comes, I go to Him and He brushes the fear away and points me to my faith in Him. He replaces the fear with a knowi

What Does It Mean To Be Yoked?

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest ( relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good — not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden i

It’s Important To Believe That You Receive Healing Before You Feel Or See It!

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them (Mark 11:24 – NKJV) So then I tell you, whenever you pray and ask for anything, have faith that it has been granted to you, and you will get it (Mark 11:24 – Williams NT). For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will get it (Mark 11:24- Amplified). That’s why I tell yo

Faith For Healing Starts When You Know God’s Will

When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed (Matthew 8:1-3). Faith begins where the will of God is known. If you are uncertain as to the will of God for your healing, you will not be able to exercise the faith necessary to receive

You Are Destined To Be Blessed In Christ!

We are destined for blessing! The Father’s desire was for the human race to be blessed beyond measure! Adam’s sin ended the blessing and instead allowed the curse to creep into this wonderful planet. The goodness and blessing of God was curtailed as a result. God appeared to Abram and told him that he was going to bless him and make his name great. He told Abram that through him all the families of the earth would be blessed. The blessing that Adam lost through the fall is be

Our Position Before God Is As A King and A Priest!

And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen (Revelation 1:5-6). But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into

Here’s A Personal Example of How Meditation Can Change You

I’ve been sharing the importance of meditation the last couple of days. Today, I want to give an example of how meditation in the Word of God changed my life. The Word cancelled fear in my life! Due to circumstances when I was young I developed a fear of rejection. I developed a self-consciousness that feared people’s responses to my words and actions. I would walk into a room and immediately size up who was there and how people viewed me. My thinking had a default setting th

Change Your Thoughts To Change Your Life

So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls (James 1:21-NLT) The Word has the power to produce deep and lasting change in the believer. The implanted word saves the soul or renews the mind. When it comes to us changing, we will not change until our belief system changes. Let me explain. We have basically two kinds of thought; conscious thoughts, and underlying thought pa

Time Tests Faith!

Until the time that His word came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him (Psalm 105:19). The above scripture refers to Joseph having a dream of leading his family and it taking 13 years for the dream to happen. The time between God speaking and God’s word to Joseph through the dream being fulfilled was a great time of testing. His brothers sold Joseph into slavery. Joseph was unjustly imprisoned, yet he refused to see himself as a victim of circumstance. He chose to keep hi

The Bible Will Change Your Life If Do What It Says!

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63). The Word contains God’s very life and nature. Feeding on the Word is not like reading Shakespeare or classic literature. These contain no power to change. But God’s Word is the power of God unto salvation for spirit, soul, and body (Romans 1:16-17). Time in the Word is time spent in the presence of the Father. And just as you take your car into
