I am typing this devotion while flying from Istanbul, Turkey, to Skopje, the capital city of Macedonia, to start our journey encouraging & equipping pastors all over the country.
Read MoreI have never met anyone who obeyed God and gave their tithes and then more to the Lord and His work who regretted it; just the opposite. Those who give are blessed by God.
Read MoreGod promises to bless and take care of us if we will trust Him with everything, including our finances.
Read MoreI believe God commands us to give so that we will trust Him. Jesus said we can know what is truly important to us based on where we put our money.
Read MoreThe Apostle Paul said if we sow sparingly, we will reap sparingly, and if we sow bountifully then we will reap bountifully. God loves a cheerful giver.
Read MoreIf you and I give little, we receive little in return. If we are generous and bless others, then God will bless us. Why is that?
Read MoreHow do we stay encouraged while waiting on the Lord? We remember.
Read MoreAre you having trouble seeing how the Lord is working in your life right now? Don't stop praying!
Read MoreMordecai was a living example for us of the kind of faith that is described in Hebrews 11:1, a faith of assurance and conviction.
Read MoreFor Esther, many things had to fall precisely into place over several years for her to be used by God so mightily; it was not immediately obvious.
Read MoreDid you know that God is never directly mentioned in the whole book of Esther? But close study makes it clear that God is at work all throughout it.
Read MoreAside from healing physically, God heals emotionally, mentally, and morally as well.
Read MoreWhenever we gather for prayer and ask God to heal, He always responds, whether or not He answers in the way we want.
Read MoreWe cannot talk to God in prayer and trust in His plan while at the same time complaining and fussing about how things are not going our way.
Read MoreGod still suspends the natural order & interjects the supernatural. All that He has done in the past He can do today, including divine healing.
Read MoreThere are two erroneous extremes that must be avoided when dealing with the subject of healing: 1. that God never heals, and 2. that He always heals.
Read MoreWhen the Spirit of God prompts you, obey! Do it when He says to do it. Rebellion is not doing what He tells you to do.
Read MoreToday we discuss in more detail the work the Holy Spirit does.
Read MoreThe Holy Spirit is God. He is a Person, not a force. He thinks, reasons, has emotions, can be grieved, and He speaks.
Read MoreApart from the Holy Spirit, there is no salvation, sanctification, spiritual fruit, or gifts. He illuminates our minds so we can understand the Bible.
