Intercession

Isaiah 35:4 (TPT) “Say to the anxious and fearful, ‘Be strong and never afraid. Look, here comes your God! He is breaking through to give you victory! He comes to avenge your enemies. With divine retribution he comes to save you!” Then blind eyes will open and deaf ears will hear. Then the lame will leap like playful deer and the tongue-tied will sings songs of triumph. Gushing water will spring…

True Success 1) For you, what are the top 5 hallmarks/indicators of personal success? Explain. #1. The first hallmark of personal success is that I abide in the Lord at all times (John 15). The truth is, Jesus says that apart from Him, I can do nothing (John 15:5). This means that nothing in life is worth doing unless I am going to do it in love with Him. That is where I will thrive. That is…

What The Truth Is

“When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!” Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God!”

Luke 13:12-13 NLT

I love this. Jesus told the sick woman she was healed before He touched her. The truth is that she was healed even before she stood up straight. I must be able to see the truth of the matter whenever I…

Would You Believe Me If I Told You?

“The Lord replied, “Look around at the nations; look and be amazed! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it. I am raising up the Babylonians, a cruel and violent people. They will march across the world and conquer other lands.”

Habakkuk 1:5-6 NLT

My thoughts: The Lord will use what man overlooks to accomplish His purposes in the…

A Call to Remain in Christ

1 John 2:27 “As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.” ‭‭ My thoughts: I believe this anointing is the Holy Spirit who lives inside of every believer in Christ. Holy Spirit is God inside of us. In…

Love For Others

“Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent.” Hebrews 6:11 NLT My thoughts: Loving other people is the gateway to resisting spiritual dullness and indifference. Where I lack enthusiasm and zeal for God, I do not maintain an appropriate…

Unwavering Faith in Yahweh

Proverbs 12:3 “A man will not be established by wickedness, But the root of the righteous will not be moved.” My thoughts: A man cannot be established in wickedness because he is not rooted in an eternal foundation. As a child of God, my faith is rooted in the eternal Rock of Salvation. The root of the righteous is faith in Jesus. We obtain righteousness through faith in Him (Romans 3:22). The…

Before the Feet of Jesus

John 11:2 “It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.” My thoughts: The act of Mary is preached about across the world. Everywhere the Gospel message is shared, her story is known. Jesus said “Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”…

The Danger of Humanistic Doctrine

Often, Christians create an image of God that suits their lifestyle and never allow His reality to transform their lifestyle. They emphasize certain aspects of God’s character and skillfully craft a 21st Century American, lukewarm, apathetic, halfhearted, Jesus. If all I ever see is the Jesus who rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, I will miss the Jesus who commands the Armies of Heaven. Every…

Declaration of Faith: I am an Intercessor

I don’t stand in the way of sinners of sit in the seat of mockers (Psalm 1:1). I stand in the gap (Ezekiel 22:30) for dead men and sit in Heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). My prayers do not echo old circumstances. My prayers dictate the future of this world. The power of God’s Spirit upon my intercession and warfare transplants me across the world and empowers me to declare His goodness over every…

Does God really know you?

Matthew‬ ‭7:21-23‬ ‭”Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of…

Choose Participation, Not Observation! The Kingdom Of God Is Within You

Luke 17:20-21 NKJV “Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”” My thoughts: In His statement “the Kingdom of God is within you” Jesus told the Pharisees both the time and location of His…

Who Are We? What Have We Become?

1 Corinthians 3:5 “What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task.”‭‭ My thoughts: Notice how Paul uses the word “what” instead of “who”. There is a big difference between the question “What am I?” and “Who am I?” The word “what” is used to identify an object or function. The word “who” is used to identify a…

A Lifestyle of Prayer

Luke 9:18 “Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him…” My thoughts: I came upon this verse and could not move past it. How is it that a person can be alone and still have other people with him? Can someone defy the laws of human reasoning and be two places at the same time? Jesus knew the art of prayer- being alone with God in constant fellowship, even when other…

See The Cross

John 12:3 “Then Mary took a twelve-ounce jar of expensive perfume made from essence of nard, and she anointed Jesus’ feet with it, wiping his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance.” My thoughts: Jewish women were not supposed to let down their hair in public. When she cried at the feet of Jesus and wiped away the tears with her hair, it was a sign of humility. However, to…

Approach God As A Child

John 6:9 “There’s a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that with this huge crowd?” My thoughts: According to the Gospel account of Mark, it was late in the afternoon and the disciples wanted to send the people home where they would buy food in the villages. In response, Jesus said to His disciples “You feed them.” John is the only Gospel account that mentions a…

More Than Mere Optimism

John 11:4 “When he heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.””‭‭ My thoughts: Although Lazarus died, death was not his ultimate conclusion. Instead, his death was a platform for God’s redemptive power. Lazarus was dead, yet Jesus brought him to life. Imagine how much more He can breathe life into our…
