We have a secret weapon that the devil simply has no defense against. This weapon is the joy of the Lord. When this weapon is deployed, he has no counter attack. There is nothing that he can defeat you with when you are living in the joy of the Lord. You need to notice that this is the Lord’s joy, and not yours. It originates with Him and then emanates to you. It is NOT...read more

I remember back in our lives to a time when things were really up in the air. There were many changes going on in our lives and ministry. We were not sure about certain aspects of our calling and direction was not clear.

To the contrary, the life that God desires for the Christian is...read more

You can learn to enjoy and depend on His presence with you. Is He the unseen but always present companion in all...read more
I enjoy watching a good football game on television, I even enjoy watching a player dance all over the end zone after making a touchdown. The crowd cheers with joy as struts, dances, spikes the ball and walks off the field in victory. I have often wondered how long those guys practiced their victory dances, I knew they worked very hard during practice just so they could make that very important touchdown and win the...read more
I don't have to tell you what a key is, or what it is for. We all know that keys are for opening doors that are locked and for locking doors that are open. It all depends on what your need is whether you are going to lock or unlock. In the Scripture, a key represents power and authority.According to this verse then, God has given to believers the power and authority to lock or...read more
Don’t you just love it when people say something like, “Cheer up, you haven’t got it so bad” or “Don’t worry, you are learning from your mistakes”? This is not what you want to hear when having problems or going through trials. Yet, this is just about the way you feel when you first read this passage. I bet every time you have a trial or a test, you say, “Oh joy, another opportunity to...read more
I am interested in abundance. I get tired of always hearing about the lean times, the bad times that we are living in now. People seem to be always looking back and talking about the “good old days.” Well, I was talking to one man not too long ago about this very issue. He said that he was alive back in those days, and that the only thing good about them was that they were...read more
A great day is coming, heaven’s gates will open wide, and all who know the Lord will enter in, to join with their loved ones who in Jesus Christ have died. Eternal hallelujahs will begin. Then the Lord Himself will greet us, oh what joy will be that day, when with the smile of the proudest father, He’ll look at us and say, “Welcome home, children, this is the place I’ve prepared for you. Welcome...read more
