A Struggling Saint
Do you ever do things that you know you don’t want to do? Sometimes it’s easy to fall susceptible to sin we know we should avoid. This doesn’t make you “bad.” This just means you’re a saint with struggles.
Humble Intercession
God is looking for servant leaders who humbly intercede for the people they lead, even when they rebel against them.
If He Wills
God will never command us to do something that He will not empower us to do. It is never a question of whether God can, but if He wills. If He wills, then we can—if we believe.
From Setback to Comeback – Part 2
Whether it’s a small interruption or a huge disappointment, we all experience setbacks in life. Yet, every setback is a battle we can ask God to help us win. The second step towards changing a setback into a comeback is to be intentional.
From Setback to Comeback – Part 1
Every setback we experience is a battle we can ask God to help us win. But we do have a choice in the matter: Will we allow our setbacks to define us? Or will we accept the setback as an opportunity to let God help us leverage it into a comeback?
Sin Is Not Your Master
We are no longer slaves to sin, because we are alive in Christ and dead to sin. This we cannot do for ourselves; however, Christ has already done it for us.
Absolute Truth
Truth is absolute because when it is rooted in the omniscient and immutable nature of God. In other words, truth is absolute in that it has always been true and always will be true, regardless of whether we accept or reject it.
Hearing From God
Believing the truth can sometimes be easier said than done. Satan’s strategy includes impersonating God’s voice in your life; therefore, you need to be able to discern whether what you are hearing is from God or not.
The Truth of the Trinity
The Bible teaches that there is one God who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The plural nature of the Godhead is revealed in the first chapter of Genesis and continues to be present throughout the entirety of Scripture.
Reason and Intuition
Comprehending truth incorporates reason and intuition. Sometimes we just know something to be true without any means of objective verification. Truth is both real and right, making wise the simple and empowering those who are zealous for God.
Emotional Truth
It isn’t others nor the environment that determines how we feel. We are emotionally impacted by how we mentally evaluate the circumstances of life and by what we have chosen to think and believe.
The Truth Will Set You Free
Knowing Jesus and His Word liberates us from the law of sin and death and sets us free from our past so we can be the people God created us to be.
Choosing the Truth
We are not called to dispel the darkness; we are called to turn on the light. We win the battle for our minds by choosing the truth.
Stronghold Buster for Fighting Anxiety
A stronghold buster is a daily prayer practice that creates an intentional choosing and declaration of what God says is true. Anxious thoughts are to be expected during the current global health crisis. But we are told to take our thoughts captive and break down the mental habits that contribute to, or perpetuate, anxiety.
Step 3: Bitterness vs. Forgiveness
The only solution to bitterness is forgiveness. In forgiveness, you will experience the grace of God along with peace and holiness.
Step 2: Truth vs. Deception
By very nature of deception, we think that what we are believing is truth, but when we know God’s truth, we can recognize the deceptions of the world, the flesh and the devil.
God Gives the Gifts
Scripture encourages us to seek God and trust Him to gift us as He sees fit. Our responsibility is to yield to the Holy Spirit; however He chooses to fill us is His responsibility.
