Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5 NIVUK
Most believers today get so stuck focusing on things God can do to help them “live well”, they never get on with what He calls them to do. His promises are truly wonderful, but all our “system preferences” in life often cause us to forget they are also …
Your Bible is the most important book that you have in your library at home, or at work, or at the Library. The Bible is the word of God. It educates and teaches us in the ways that we should live and treat others. The Bible also tells how God is to be worshiped. The Bible tells us about prophetic events that are about us in our future as well as signs of those times. The Bible has scripture and …
“He said to them, ‘God, show yourselves to the priests.’ And so it was that as they went they were cleansed.” Luke 17:14 NKJV
Step number three on my list of things you need to do in order to touch the healing power of God is: Don’t be stupid! No one should deny the reality of sickness and disease. They are very real killers, who show no partiality. At the same time, we should not deny the reality of God’s …
“And He went about all Galilee, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING the Gospel of the kingdom, and HEALING all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.” Matthew 4:23 AMP
The next step in order to overcome ill health is exercising faith after reflecting on what Jesus has said and done in the …
“…for this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” John 3:8 AMP
In the four Gospels there are 41 specific cases of healing which record God’s will about sickness and oppression. If you read them all you can only come to one conclusion: God wants people healthy!
Healing was one of the primary ways Jesus destroyed the work of Satan while ministering here on earth. He continually freed people from the clutches …
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him.” Acts 10:38 NKJV
God wants you to be well. This is a simple fact of the Christian faith that is seldom taught in many pulpits today. What a shame that Jesus is so clearly portrayed in scripture as the healer of those He encountered, …
A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold.” Proverbs 22:1 NKJV
As we mentioned yesterday, Proverbs chapter twenty-two seems to be especially written as a guide to raising successful godly children. I say this because it contains two specific verses which deal directly with that subject, among a progression of verses that lead us to understand what kind of adult ends up at the highest levels in life. This …
“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold.” Proverbs 22:1 NKJV
Children today are out of control! Nowhere is the lack of discipline more evident than in churches. To Christian parents everywhere let me just say, “Train your children!”
My wife, Bobbi, and I have been married for over twenty-five years and have raised four daughters of our own. We also took in one of our girl’s friends when she …
“He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow, and the rod of his anger will fail…Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of correction will drive it far from him.” Proverbs 22:8, 15 NKJV
Notice that the word “rod” is used twice in this chapter. It is an interesting Hebrew word referring to a literal stick, which could be used for several different purposes. According to my “Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible,” an Old …
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 NKJV
Yesterday we talked about how our kids need discipline. Today let’s examine two different aspects of it.
A favorite Bible teacher of mine once said, “Anything living seeks to thrive” (paraphrase, Watchman Nee). We probably don’t need a preacher to tell us that, but it is always good when …
