Body, Soul, and Spirit
Christians have an inner person and an outer person. In other words we are part material and part immaterial. They work together in unison as body, soul and spirit.
The Joy You Were Made For
We are created by God to experience and live in His presence and in joy. When we walk by the Spirit and live in the Spirit, it will become a part of us and flow out from us.
Binding and Loosing
God has given the keys of the Kingdom to those who deny themselves, pick up their cross daily and follow Jesus. Whatever they bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever they loose on earth will be loosed in heaven
Truth Dispels Darkness
Some people experience internal interference when demonic powers are confronted by the truth. But the power for the Christian is in the truth. That is why it is truth that sets us free.
How to Know You're Walking in the Spirit
Do you want to learn to walk in the way of the Spirit? It takes practice. It takes humility. It takes community. But it is possible.
I No Longer Live?
What God wants for us is our best. He is not only a God to be feared, but a God who loves us beyond measure. He doesn’t only act in a loving way; He actually is love.
Held Together by Love
As we heal mentally, emotionally, in heart, and in spirit, the love of God becomes more evident, and we become thankful for the love that controls, constrains, and literally holds us together.
From Rules to Relationship
So how do we need to reorient ourselves from rules to relationship with God? To change our behavior, we need to change our heart. To change our heart, we need to change our real beliefs.
Contentment
What do you gain through contentment? You probably won’t gain what your flesh craves, but everything your soul desires like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
You are Salt and Light — Part 2
If we can’t get along with each other, it will be hard to recognize us from the culture around us. Yes, we are all broken and all different, but God’s love is working in the heart of every single believer so we can let God shine.
God's Concept of Happiness
As long as you are focusing on what you don't have, you'll be unhappy. But when you begin to appreciate what you already have, you'll begin to experience the joys of life.
Counterfeit Gifts
Satan seeks to counterfeit the spiritual gifts God has given the Church. Are you buying in to his lies?
You are Salt and Light — Part 1
Jesus says that we are already salt and light. In context, this means that we are God’s change agents on assignment.
Chemical Imbalance?
Are your thoughts stemming from a chemical imbalance or from a raging spiritual battle for your mind? Honesty is key in finding the answer.
Overcoming Shame
Piling on guilt and shame is detrimental to our mental health and doesn’t promote righteous living. We should be empowered by the love of God to not shame one another or ourselves; rather build each other up.
The Wisdom of Listening
Listening is a sign of wisdom and care. Simply by listening—both to others and during devotional time—we can grow spiritually and strengthen relationships.
Confession is Good for the Soul
Confession is a powerful spiritual tool that God has given us. The more we understand it and use it, the more powerful it becomes.
