Many different ideas come to mind when we hear the word ‘confession.’ It may come to your mind revealing to someone everything that you have done wrong. Or, maybe sitting in front of a judge and jury and admitting a law you are guilty of breaking? Biblical confession goes beyond that. Hebrews 3:1 Therefore, holy…
Who or what is the Holy Spirit? And what is His purpose? We worship one God in trinity and the Trinity in unity, not confusing the persons nor dividing the divine being. For the Father is one person, the Son is another, and the Spirit is still another. But the deity of the Father, Son,…
What is Pentecost and what is its significance for us today? Pentecost is a Jewish Holiday that marks the 50th day after Passover. It is the wheat harvest because it occurs seven weeks after the first offering known as the Firstfuits Offering. Then, the day after the completion of seven weeks (49 days), the holiday…
Have you ever gone fishing and caught nothing? You loaded the boat, packed the gear, began with great joy and expectation, and came back empty handed. We sometimes take that same approach in praying, and discouragement sets in when we don’t see one single hope of an answer. Luke 5:1-11 So it was, as the…
We have been focusing our attention on faith. Here are the reasons why: We cannot please God without faith. Hebrews 11:6 Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (NKJ) We cannot be saved without faith. Ephesians 2:8…
Faith does not come by confessing but by hearing the Word. Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (NKJ) Faith only comes by the Word of God. However, confessing, professing, or speaking God’s Word is how we activate the faith we have. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the…
These are terms we use very often in religious circles. Yet, most of us don’t know what they mean. We’ll throw an “Amen” out as an approval of something that was said or at the end of a prayer. What exactly are we saying? The fact is, verily and amen are the exact same word…
God created mankind by speaking and created us to be like Him, in His image – to function like He does. Then, He put us in charge of His creation. Genesis 1:26-28 And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of…
What is Passover and how does it relate to me? Passover is a celebration of the event that prepared the Children of Israel for leaving Egypt. Exodus 12:5-13 ‘Your lamb shall be an unblemished male a year old; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. 6 ‘And you shall keep it…
Know Jesus; Know Peace. No Jesus; No Peace! You may be asked if you know who the President is. But, knowing who he is and knowing him are two very different things. It’s not enough to know about Jesus. We must connect with Him personally. John 8:19 Then they asked Him, “Where is your father?”…
It can be a struggle to keep our hearts and minds focused on God and His Word when the storms of life rage. However, Jesus provided a way for us to learn how to control our thoughts and feelings. Matthew 11:29-30 “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29…
Hebrews 4:11 Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. (NKJ) Why is labor needed in order to rest? When faced with trials and tribulations, it can be a struggle to keep our thoughts on the victory that has already been won rather than…
The Word of God is more than just divinely-inspired promises. It is seed that, planted in faith, makes those promises a reality. Luke 17:5 “And the apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith.’ 6 So the Lord said, ‘If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled…
What we say must stay in line with what God says. Faith speaks words of hope; not fear or doubt. Speak faith-filled words. Guard against speaking negatively. Don’t speak what you see in the natural realm. Speak what you see in the Word of God. You cannot speak out what is not put in. This…
Just because doubt enters our mind does not mean we should let it out of our mouth. What we say must stay in line with what God says. Step 1: Understand you get what you speak! Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat…
The Three Thieves of Faith The Thief of Ignorance Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:” (NKJ) Philemon 1:6 “I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ.” (Berean) Stop looking at what you don’t have and see…
Is what we feel or what we think more important? Do our emotions control our thinking or do our thoughts control our emotions? Is anxiety, worry, fear or hate an emotion or a thought? Is love, joy, peace an emotion or a thought? Proverbs 12:25 “Anxiety in the heart of man…
You cannot make God bigger than what He is; you can only make Him something He is not. He will never fit into our box. Take the limits off of God. We limit Him by our small thinking. Mark 9:23 “Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who…
Do you think your dreams or goals are out of reach because of the situation or circumstances you find yourself in? Or have you believed the lies that you are not qualified, gifted, talented, rich, or knowledgeable enough to do it? Dreams are God’s way of getting us to think bigger than ourselves. Acts 2:…
Before we can find out who the real enemy is, we must know who the real enemy is not: Satan Hebrews 2:14-15 Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could He die, and only by dying could He break the…
We must remove all ambiguity concerning God’s Word. To question the Word of God is to question your own salvation. 1 Peter 1:23 “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever.” (NKJ) If you are unable to see the Word working in your…
Words have importance even if you don’t really mean what you say. The Devil does not have the power nor authority to speak into your life and change it. That is why he works so hard trying to get you to speak negative things. Your words carry the power of life or death. It is…
God is always speaking. The question is, are we on the same wavelength with God? Is your receiver on? Philippians 2:5 “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,” (NKJ) You cannot hear from God if you don’t hear His Word. James 1:21-27 “So get rid of all the filth and…
There are three things that are required in order to have a kingdom. There must be a king or leader. There must be subjects to rule or lead, and there must be a land, territory, or domain. A king or leader cannot rule or govern a territory by himself. So, kings or leaders must have…
The terms the Kingdom, Kingdom of Heaven, Kingdom of Light, and the Kingdom of God are all synonyms. What does the Kingdom of Heaven mean? Where exactly is the Kingdom of Heaven? How do we get there? Jesus knew we would have a hard time understanding the Kingdom of Heaven with our natural mind. Over…
We are continuing this series on how to hear from God. In Part 1, we looked at the 3 parts of man which we will review because you need to distinguish the 3 parts of who you are. Today, we will explore further examples of our 3 part being in order to understand more about…
This series will help you discover how to hear the voice of God inside of you. Often we think we are hearing from God, when what we are listening to is our soul realm, or our body; not our inner spirit man who is a spirit. Once you understand the make-up of who you are;…
Every day challenges come to believers, and we will always be given the opportunity to believe God over our present situation. Your faith will grow, as you use it, just like a muscle.

We are continuing our study on how to put faith into practice. If you want the supernatural lifestyle, with miracles and the power of God’s Word working through you, then you must accept the Word of God into your mind (intellect), your will and your emotions. The Word must become the most important thing you…
We are continuing our study on how to put our faith into practice. As we are learning, we realize faith won’t work without action. Our actions must counteract our unbelief. Let’s see how this works. …
