Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! - Psalm 150:6 REFERENCE Psalm 150:1-6 If you can read this, it means you have breath (Life), and because you have breath, you have another reason to thank God in this season of thanksgiving.

LIFE is seen as something mundane – common for many, as such, they take it for granted because it has been freely given to them. Imagine if God were to charge you for the oxygen you...

Also, we can see things we didn’t even pray for that He brought to us. And it gives us...
And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. - Mark 16:17-18 REFERENCE Mark 16:17-20 It is the plan of God that every Christian walks in the supernatural, that our lives are lived beyond the natural, elementary order. He wants us to live as carriers of His power so we can bring remedy to hopeless situations,...
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. - Luke 10:19 REFERENCE Luke 10:17-19 Man’s greatest enemy from the Garden of Eden is Satan; he steals people’s joy, peace, health, etc., he kills businesses, vision, purpose, dreams and ultimately destroys lives. Nevertheless, Jesus came, paid the price for man’s redemption and gave us victory over the tormentor – Satan. The biggest thing Jesus did for us was defeat Satan.

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. – John 15:5 REFERENCE John 15:5-8 The root of something is its base, its anchor and the source from which it derives its essence and life.

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; - I Peter 2:9 REFERENCE I Peter 2:9-10 Every Born Again child of God is a peculiar treasure.

Psalm 49:20 says, “A man who is in honor, yet does not understand, is like the beasts that perish.” Paul escaped being shipwrecked, only...
But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works (corresponding action) is dead? –James 2:20 (paraphrase mine) REFERENCE James 2:18-24 Yesterday we concluded with the thought that “faith” has some corresponding actions that make it a dominant and conquering force, otherwise it will remain inactive. When faith possesses a man’s heart, it manifests itself in different ‘actions of faith.’ Here are some of them: Thinking in line with God’s Word – “As a man thinks so he is...” The woman with the issue of blood kept thinking in her heart (muttering to herself), “If...
Every God-begotten person conquers the world’s ways. The conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith. – I John 5:4(MSG) REFERENCE I John 5:4 The natural law and system of this world often fails, because the world is a fallen place; that is why we see all kinds of hardship and evil predominant in the world.
