Walking by faith is not easy. If it were easy, more people would be doing it. However, if you are willing to pay the price, walking by faith is doable–and well worth the commitment. Faith walking means you believe what God has said in His Word, and then you act on it before you see any evidence of what has been promised. When you truly believe God’s Word, then your words will agree with His. Discover what God’s Word says about your situation and then say what God says. Continue reading →

“I Am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:5-7 Continue reading →

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” ~ Psalm 103:2

“Lord, in obedience to Your Word in Psalm 103, I recall and receive by faith anew today ALL the benefits Jesus has provided for me:”

1. Jesus has forgiven all my sins.

2. He is my Healer, and I receive my healing and health today.

3. My life is redeemed from destruction.

4. I am crowned with His loving-kindness and tender mercies.

5. He satisfies my mouth with good things so that my youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6. He executeth righteousness and judgment for me against oppression. I’m free.

7. He makes known His ways to me. I am His child and I follow Him.

8. I receive His grace and mercy and obtain it in times of need.

“And Father God, according to Philippians 1:9,10 I pray that my love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that I may approve the things that are excellent, that I may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God in Jesus’ Mighty Name I pray – Amen”

You may know some Christians who are considered great people of faith, but how is their love walk? According to Galatians 5:6—“…faith which worketh by love. (KJV) If a person’s love walk is lacking it could possibly be the reason the breakthroughs have not manifested. When we attempt to exercise our faith without the love factor, it is really faith or just “mental ascent”? True biblical faith is always affective because it is rooted and grounded in love. During these first few weeks of 2012 let’s determine to increase our love walk. Continue reading →
