Philippians 3: 12-14 I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got […]

Mark 11:24  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. The definition of receive is: To take, as a thing offered or sent; to accept. Our text is telling us to take it when you pray. Let me give you an example.

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and

Mark 11:24  For this reason I am telling you, whatever things you ask for in prayer [in accordance with God’s will], believe [with confident trust] that you have received them, and they will be given to you.

Mark 9:23  And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!

If we’re going to study the Word of God that means we have to spend quality time in His

Matthew 24:14  And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end.  All of the signs are pointing in that direction. When you look at all of the events transpiring today, it’s just getting started. There has

2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; If we’re to define high

John 16:31  Jesus answered them, Do you now believe? [Do you believe it at last?] We pick up the story near the end of Jesus’ farewell message to His disciples. He has told them He’s leaving, the events that will follow and although they are filed with sorrow, he won’t leave them comfortless (John 16:6-7 AMPC). He

Psalm 34: I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2My life makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble and afflicted hear and be glad.3O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. We all have times when life comes at you hard and fast
