Devotion

“Is not My word like fire?” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer which shatters a rock?” (Jeremiah 23:29 NASB) There will always be obstacles in the way of your dream. Having vision, goals, plans, and promises doesn’t move the bramble and boulders obstructing your...

“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth” (John 14:16-17). The Father gives us the Holy Spirit to do in and for us what Jesus did in and through His disciples. The Holy Spirit is our counselor...

“Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth” (Psalm 73:25 NASB). Disappointments are a fact of life. The more we accept this fact, the less disappointed by disappointments we’ll be. One of the major problems with the health and wealth,...

“For the word of God is . . . sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even to the dividing of soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitude of the heart.” (Hebrew 4:12b) Destructive thoughts and negative attitudes cannot exist in a...

“Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle” (Psalm 144:1 NASB) Prayer is more than just asking God for things. It is the battlefield where we apply our spiritual armor (Eph. 6:10-18). We are at war and prayer is the warfare....

“For there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12b NIV). Jesus + our sins = His death on a cross. Jesus + 3 days in the grave = the keys to death and Hades. Jesus + resurrection = our justification. Jesus + nothing = our...
