Just like the leper, some of us have seen and heard of Jesus’ mighty power to heal those in need. We believe He has the authority and ability to bring us wholeness, but at the same time we doubt whether He is willing to help. The leper walked up to Jesus and threw himself down before him in worship and said, “Lord, you have the power to heal me…if you really want to”. Jesus reached out his hand and touched…..

The Bible teaches that our flesh man can be easily drawn into lust, greed, and the pride of life, while our spiritual man understands that these are not from the Father, but are part of this world system. Yielding to and getting pulled into lust, greed, or pride will cripple us spiritually, and are not a panaceas for growing in God’s grace, wisdom, or peace. Nevertheless, many wonderful, virtuous benefits can be experienced while we are living in our fleshly…..

It’s not always easy to believe that God wants to bestow His goodness on you, especially during prolonged, difficult, demanding, challenging, tough times. The unhealed wounds in your heart that hold layers of unprocessed hurt and anger will give an opening to the Enemy, to plant negative  thought patterns,  and bombard your mind  with hopelessness, self-pity, fear, or condemnation. The negative thoughts speak – things will never change for the better….I feel overwhelmed and defeated…. What’s the use, I might…..

What pleases God? We might answer: being a good person, going to church, helping people, and so forth. Although a “good work” in and of itself does not bring displeasure to God, it is not, according to Scripture, what brings pleasure to Him. God is looking for those who will believe, rely on, and have confidence in Him. When we believe, lean, rely, and trust in Him- He is exceedingly pleased. The triune God, through Jesus Christ our Lord, desires…..

Song of Solomon 2:14-15 “For you are my dove, hidden in the split-open rock. It was I who took you and hid you up high in the secret stairway of the sky. Let me see your radiant face and hear your sweet voice. How beautiful your eyes of worship and lovely your voice in prayer. You must catch the troubling foxes, those sly little foxes that hinder our relationship. For they raid our budding vineyard of love to ruin what…..

We are all born with the desire to be loved, accepted, understood, and listened to.  Some of us have been blessed to be born into a loving family, or blessed with friends, or others who unconditionally love, believe in, and listen to us, even though we are far from being flawless.  To have someone who will pay attention to our words while making a conscious effort to hear our heart is a priceless blessing that brings healing to our soul,…..

 As our relationship develops and deepens with Jesus Christ, we understand that his faithful love and the Word of God are the powers that grow faith. It is inevitable that our faith in God, that which we say we believe, will be tried while living in this world. When spiritual belief is tested, one or two things will happen. Either our genuine faith will be validated as reality in our heart and lives, or we will find our faith being…..

Most people believe the path to peace and joy is created by experiencing “ideal” circumstances, and we all have different ideas and thoughts of what “ideal” looks like.  Some believe they would be at peace if they had an understanding partner, more money, a better job, flawless children, and a bigger house, or maybe we need to downsize. Others proclaim that they could find peace if they could just move to another city, the beach, or mountains, maybe some semblance…..

The spirit of antichrist is prevalent and common in our world today.   The goal of this spirit is to tear down and ridicule, to present God’s love and sacrificial atonement phony, as well as unnecessary, and to portray Jesus Christ as a condemning, narrow minded figure who is out- of- step with the needs of struggling mankind.  However, the accusations of the spirit of antichrist could not be any further from the truth.  The Truth is God loves and cherishes…..

On the cross, Jesus Christ paid the price for fallen mankind’s sin, creating a bridge to re-unite us with our Holy God.

Through Jesus name we have been given the authority and opportunity to come out of bondage and discover spiritual enlightenment, physical healing, and emotional recovery. When we believe in Jesus through faith, the Holy Spirit connects with our spirit and lives within our…..
