The Book of  Hebrews defines faith, and how the just, that is those in right standing with God, shall LIVE by faith.  That doesn’t mean we just try to work up some faith to get us through a time of trouble, but rather that we ABIDE CONTINUALLY in faith, that it is a way of life for us every moment of every day. And there is great reward in doing so, both in this life and forever. Continue Reading »

Last week I asked why we do the things we do.  What if we have based our beliefs on things that may not be entirely true?  Are we willing to take the time and go back and earnestly study the Bible with an open mind to see if these things we believe are really so?  Or are we “settled” because our faith is in someone else’s studies and faith?  In other words, have we studied these things out for ourselves so we know that we know?

It’s a well-known fact that people are creatures of habit.  We do things because that’s the way we’ve always done them.  Some people say they like change, but when it comes right down to it, they usually revert to doing what they’ve always done.  Have you ever asked yourself why you do the things you do?   Chances are you’re doing what you have been taught by others, rather than what you really would do if you had a choice.  But actually, if you think about it…..you DO have a choice, the question is:  what are you doing with it?

Many people make plans in the beginning of a new year, hoping to bring about a desired change in their life.  Maybe it’s to save up some money, or to lose some weight, or to make a purchase, but whatever the reason, it usually doesn’t take long for something to happen to disrupt our plans, right?  Maybe your plan for this year is to draw closer to God.  Whatever your desire, do you think the devil is going to look at it and approve it and leave you alone to accomplish it?  Not a chance.  What do you do about it when things start going amiss?  Do you think of giving up when you have more month left at the end of your money, or when the good times leave and your mother-in-law WON’T leave?

We have all probably heard the saying “Living off the interest”.  It means you have made a substantial investment and now you are receiving a return from it.  And as long as you never touch the principal investment, you will always have an income from it.  But what about when you need extra money, so you draw out some of the principal to make up the shortage?  Number one, the principal has been diminished, so your future interest will be diminished, and number two, you have spent some of your investment.  What does that have to do with healing?  Glad you asked!

Obedience is a big thing to God.  Most people know that, but would still rather do their own thing.  Heaven is God’s home, and everything there is subject unto His will and pleasure.  The entire universe was created for God’s pleasure, and even the stars and planets obey His commandment to stay in their proper courses.  And everything was wonderful in heaven until Lucifer decided he not only did not want to obey God anymore, but he wanted to de-throne God and take His place and rule heaven.  Well, how did THAT work out for Lucifer?  Not too well, and he was cast out of heaven because he left his former place of obedience and became evil.

Each and every day we are presented with choices to make.  Some are routine and have little consequence, like choosing which color clothes to wear today.  Others are life changing and have far-reaching consequences.  It is very important to consider the long term effects of our daily choices.  Many feel the LORD will make their choices for them so it doesn’t matter anyway.  But we are not puppets on strings, for the LORD has given us free choice in every matter of life.  However, we have no choice over the consequences of our choices.

Not being one to waste time, let me get to the heart of what the LORD is saying to us today: Is the Lord Jesus a mere casual acquaintance, or your most precious relationship? For example, we will say you know about the Queen of England.  But if someone asks her if she knows YOU, will she say “Certainly!  We have spent many wonderful hours together!” Or, will she shake her head and say, “I don’t recall the name”. Let me put it like this; when your name comes up in heaven, and it will, does the Lord Jesus say “WHO????” Or does He KNOW you? Continue Reading »

Every lesson I teach on here has been one of my own personal experience, not just something I read somewhere.  You all know my calling is healing, and no matter what my experience may be, it does not change the Word of God.  Yesterday I fell from a ladder and badly injured my left ankle and cannot presently walk on it.  Now, does my injury change the promise of God’s healing in any way?

Many offer up prayers unto the LORD for one reason or another.  What assurance do we have the LORD hears our prayers, let alone will answer them?  We can find answers is in both the Old Testament and the New.  You remember how the Word says to let every word be established in the mouth of two or three witnesses, so let’s explore a few of them.
