How many times does God have to allow people to suffer until they finally learn to do things His way?  Now, God doesn’t like to see people suffer, but they only suffer because of their own disobedience.  And if God never let us taste the consequences of our actions, we would be even more of a mess than we already are.

God says we need to have a vision for our life, and where there is no vision, the people perish.  Well, I have a vision; and that is that everyone I minister healing to is healed.  Are all of them healed?  No, because they have no vision to see themselves healed.  When the Lord Jesus walked through villages teaching the multitudes, He healed the sick, but yet in his own village, He could do no mighty work there.  Let’s read about it and why it was that way.

When you’re driving down the road you see many kinds of drivers.  Some are paying attention to what they’re doing, some are talking on phones or texting, or some may be eating.   I’ve seen women driving down the road putting on their makeup, and still others reading a book or paper while driving.  We call that “distracted driving”, because your full attention isn’t on your driving. And that’s dangerous. Continue Reading »

There’s an old saying, “If you’re going to eat your words, make sure they’re sweet”. That bears witness with the Word of God as well.  Can you think of any words you’ve said today that weren’t what you would have coming back upon you?  If so, this is for you. Continue Reading »

Have you ever been in an argument with someone?  Sure you have. And you wanted to get in the last word, right?  Don’t we all, even if it’s only “Phhhttt!”?  It has been said there are two ways to win an argument with a woman. But neither one works.  But do you know what?  You CAN win an argument with the devil.  And here’s how:…. Continue Reading »

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!
