Satan Is Defeated
If Satan is already disarmed, why don't we experience more victory in our lives? In a word, the lie. Satan roams around like a hungry lion, looking and sounding ferocious when in reality his fangs have been removed and he has been de-clawed.
Responsibilities of the Believer: Humble Yourself
Pride is costly in our relationships with God and others. Let’s see what God’s Word has to say about humility and listening for the Lord’s direction.
Conviction of Sin
Worldly sorrow may feel the same as godly sorrow, but the end results are radically different. Godly sorrow leads to repentance without regret. People don’t regret finding their freedom in Christ; they are filled with thankfulness and sense no shame.
A Radical Inner Transformation
If you claim to be just a sinner, what will you do? Sin! You are professing that sin is at the core of your identity. That's not what the Bible teaches. Let’s believe God that Jesus is at the core of our being and begin to live by His Spirit!
Seek First the Kingdom
What have you searched for in your life? And I mean, really searched for? What keeps pulling at you and begging you to find it? Know this: our deep-seated needs and desires are fulfilled in intimate relationship with Jesus.
The Essence of Temptation
The basis for temptation is legitimate human needs. We will either look to the world, the flesh and the devil to have our needs met, or we will look to Christ. The essence of temptation is the invitation to live independently of God.
Our Father God is a Caring Provider
As we seek the kingdom of God first, the Lord may instruct us to do things that don’t make sense according to this world’s wisdom and understanding. But we can trust Him because He is a generous and caring Provider.
Discerning the Truth
All of us receive input from a myriad of sources today. With Satan still using false prophets in his battle for your mind, determine to discern the truth God wants you to know to set you free and keep you free.
Our Father God is Patient
Trying to be perfect carries with it a weight that we were never meant to bear. God does not place unrealistic expectations like this on us. So why do we put them on ourselves?
A Humble Walk with God
God’s love manifests itself in joy, peace and patience. If our goal in life is to become the person God created us to be, then the fruit of the Spirit becomes evident in our lives.
A Change of Beliefs
Too often we try to change our behaviour without changing our beliefs. It doesn't work that way. We must change our beliefs before we can make significant changes in our behaviour.
Our Father God Forgives!
It’s easy to beat yourself up mentally and emotionally when you are stuck in a cycle of sin. But God has not left us in condemnation. As His children, we are able to walk freely every day in both power and wisdom through Christ.
Hope for Today and Tomorrow
What is your hope for today and tomorrow? To experience true hope, you must see yourself as a child of God. The blessed hope for the believer is "Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
Our Father God Gives Freedom
Without Christ, every human being on this planet is a slave to sin. Our choices—and the consequences of these choices—reflect this reality. When we trust in Jesus Christ for our salvation, he not only forgives us, but he also sets us free from sin and gives us the ability to say “no” to what leads to death and say “yes” to what leads to life.
Walking With God
Being yoked with Jesus does not mean we sit around thinking pious thoughts expecting God to do it all. Nor does it mean running around in endless activities trying to do it all by ourselves. It is a walk with the only One who knows the way—the one who is the truth and has the life to make it possible.
A Higher Priority
Have you ignored personal and spiritual relationships in your pursuit of human achievements? Relationships must always have a higher priority than temporal achievements.
My Father God is the Author of Life
The harsh reality of death, and so many things related to living in this Fallen World, attempt to steal the life from our hearts and minds. But as we rely on the Lord, He fills us with His Spirit. We can fully trust that with Him there is true life.
Don't Believe It
Much of what is called "spiritism" and "psychic phenomena" is no more than clever illusion. The false knowledge and direction, which comes from Satan, is intended to bilk you of your spiritual vitality and freedom. Don’t believe it!
