THERE IS A PLACE IN GOD

"Then the Lord said to Moses, "Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them." ~ Exodus 24:12   REFERENCE: Exodus 24:9-18   My heart is overflowing with divine inspiration today; I keep hearing the Holy Spirit say, "There is a place in God," and He is calling you to rise to that place. It is a place where what matters is God, and His glory fills every void in your life. Only a few people discover this...

COWARDICE

"Then Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, "I have done wrong; turn away from me; whatever you impose on me I will pay…" ~ II Kings 18:14   REFERENCE II Kings 18:1-16   William Shakespeare said that a coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once. A person who lacks courage suffers the feared effects of death many times, while the valiant person doesn't think about death until it arrives. This talk is not about dying but about how King Hezekiah showed embarrassing cowardice in capitulating...

SHAKING OFF SERPENTS: NOT JUST ABOUT YOU

“And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery. Paul went in to him and prayed, and he laid his hands on him and healed him.” ~ Act 28:8   REFERENCE: Acts 28:1-10   The sole objective of satan’s venom is not just to hurt you; the communities, people groups, and lives that God wants to reach and touch through you are also the target. Satan’s venom wants to stop your future usefulness in the Kingdom of God. If the viper had felled Paul at Malta, he would not have been used by God to...

SHAKING OFF SERPENTS: STOKE YOUR FIRE

“But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.” ~ Act 28:5   REFERENCE: Acts 28:1-6   Yesterday, we read about a venomous snake biting Paul while the natives of Malta expected that he would swell up or suddenly fall dead. However, Paul just shook the viper off into the fire and continued his activities. After observing him for a long time and seeing no harm come to him, the natives changed their minds and said that Paul was ‘a god.’ When bitten by a snake, the venom attacks the brain, shutting down the central nervous system;...

SHAKING OFF SERPENTS: SHAKE IT OFF

"But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand." ~ Act 28:3   REFERENCE: Acts 28:1-6 Paul had a strange encounter with a viper (a highly venomous snake) on the Island of Malta. Upon exposing a bundle of sticks to a fire, a viper fastened itself on Paul's hand, injecting venom into him. Venom is a poisonous substance secreted by animals such as snakes, spiders, and scorpions, injected into prey or aggressors by biting or stinging. Figuratively, 'venom' is extreme malice...

A CALL AWAY

“Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.” ~ Jeremiah 33:3   REFERENCE: Jeremiah 33:1-3   On the popular TV program, ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,’ the contestants have lifelines they can use when they are stuck on a question; one of these is a phone call to a friend who is supposed to be knowledgeable and able to provide answers. The contestants are often a call away from getting thousands of pounds added to their win. However, in some cases, the person called has been as clueless...

THE SUPREMACY OF THE TONGUE

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” – Proverbs 18:21   REFERENCE: Proverbs 18:20-21   In the tongue lies the power of life and death. The tongue can open doors of joy and prosperity; if misused, it can open the door of misfortune and losses. The tongue has started wars, broken marriages, destroyed great men and women, and led to scandals; it has also forged strong marriage bonds and great destinies. Man has diverse body parts, but the supremacy of the tongue is irrefutable. God created the world...

YOUR LIFE, A MESSAGE

“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.” ~ II Corinthians 2:14   REFERENCE: II Corinthians 2:14-17   My late pastor used to say, “If you were the only bible someone had to read, would they follow Jesus?” He would often pray, “May your kind increase.” Anytime he prayed that, I went home and wondered what the church would be like if everyone was like me; it made me shape up. If someone copied everything you did, would they end up ‘at’ Jesus? You...

THE POWER OF PROPHECY 2

“Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom…” ~ Ezra 1:1   REFERENCE: Ezra 1:1-6   “That the word of The Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled…” It was the word of the Lord, but it came by Jeremiah’s mouth; the word of God in his mouth was as powerful as God’s word in God’s mouth. Hence, the power of prophecy extends to...

“For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, And My blessing on your offspring…” ~ Isaiah 44:3a   REFERENCE: Isaiah 44:1-3   Welcome to a new month. I hear the spirit of God say that He will give ‘Divine Supply’ to His children this month.
