Hoping in His Calling

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the perception of your mind may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints, […]

Jesus at Your House

The more you value the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, the more power Jesus will display in your life. When He went to his hometown, the doubt there kept Him from exercising much power. When He went to the hometown of Peter and Andrew, He pronounced condemnation over the place because of their doubt. When He was in Bethany, […]

Types and Anti-Types

In 1 Peter 3:18-22, Peter wrote about Noah’s experience in the ark he built, calling it an “antitype” of baptism. Many things we see or experience in the life we have in Christ are types or anti-types. Learning about some dynamic of the Kingdom of God is frequently a preview of an experience the next week, in which we do […]

Yahweh’s Love, Our Mistakes

Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ […]

Staying Honest

What does honesty look like in every arena in which it can exist? How do we keep its protection as a belt? Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by His vast strength. Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics of the Devil. For our battle is not against flesh and blood, […]

Regrafting

My father did some grafting in his garden when I was young. Grafting is either taking part of one organism and making it grow in another place on the same organism, or taking part of one organism and making it grow as part of another organism. Some real examples are: skin from part of your body so no one would […]
