The Power Of Faith And Its Ability To Heal

I want to talk to you about the power of faith in Jesus and faith’s ability to heal. There are two examples of great faith in the Bible that fascinates me. One is the story of the woman with the issue of blood. The Bible does not name her, but her story verifies that she was a woman of extraordinary faith. The other is the story of Blind Bartimaeus. Despite people telling him that he did not…

What Is Faith?

People describe faith in various ways. Belief, confidence, and trust are synonyms of faith. While these synonyms are essential to possess faith, they do not fully clarify faith. So, what is faith? The Bible defines faith as the substance that our hopes are made of. For those who possess it, it is evident that they believe in things not seen with physical eyes (Hebrews 11:1). The word “faith” is…

Free The Captives, No More Chains

You have been convicted of sin and the verdict is in. What is the verdict? NOT GUILTY! Jesus came to earth to bring the good news of salvation, and to free the captives from Satan’s grip. One day Jesus went to the synagogue and the synagogue’s attendant handed Him the book of Isaiah. Jesus opened the book and began reading. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me because He has anointed Me to preach…

When You Love God You Will Trust God

We say we love God, but do we trust Him? Psalm 91 is an anointed psalm and a reminder that when we trust God, He honors and protects us. This Psalm is a poetic masterpiece, but it is much more than poetry. When you become fearful, have doubts, or become insecure, open your Bible to Psalm 91. This psalm is for this present-day generation. It is a message from the Holy Spirit that will comfort you…

Do We Get Angel Wings When We Die?

A friend once told me that people get wings when they die. But do people really get wings after death? Is this factual, or is it something people say for comfort in response to death for a lack of words? Since angels are mentioned in the Bible, let’s research the subject from a Biblical viewpoint. In the event you do not believe in God, the probability of getting your wings doesn’t matter anyway.…

How to Know God Forgives You

Did you know God forgives you even when you don’t forgive yourself? In this blog, I want to talk about forgiveness. Has someone in your life wronged you more than once? You keep forgiving them, and they keep doing you wrong. Peter was likely thinking of someone like this when he asked Jesus, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” (Matthew…

The Source of Our Provision

God Is Our Supply We must never forget that God is the source of our provisions. God alone, gives the power to get wealth. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest… You shall eat neither bread nor parched grain nor fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to…

The Key to Understanding Faith

The Parable of the Sower is the key to understanding faith. Our hope is evidence that faith has the power to accomplish the impossible. Hebrews 11:1 tells us what faith is. Faith is not of this world. It is a real authoritative spiritual substance that produces the things of our hope. God has given everyone the measure of faith (Romans 12:3). However, some people possess the gift of faith that…

Recipe for Faith

The Way to The Heart Did you know that there is a recipe for faith and that there are five essential ingredients in the formula for faith? They are vital for a healthy and thriving Christian life. Jesus, said, “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). It has been said that the way to the heart is through the stomach. But just as bread…

Will You Walk in Faith?

There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. (John 4:6-84, 50). Upon hearing Jesus had come to…

Our Faithful God Will Provide

We serve a faithful God. There is a story in the Bible of a widow named Naomi, her faithful daughter-in-law Ruth, and Boaz, their kinsman-redeemer. You can read the story in its entirety in The Book of Ruth. It is an inspiring story that proves that our God is faithful. There was a famine in the land of Israel. A certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, named Elimelech, took his wife Naomi, and his two…

The Angel of the Lord Is With Us

The angel of the Lord is always with us, for the Bible says, “The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him and delivers them. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are open to their cry” (Psalm 34:7,15). Trying to sleep at night can be difficult. That’s because the enemy sometimes interrupts our sleep with false accusations. But rather than think on the words of…

The Lord Is Our Refuge and Our Fortress

“We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed, but we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken, struck down, but not destroyed” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9). Living in the twenty-first century often leaves us feeling uncertain and doubtful about many things. Although we are being attacked from every side we are not defeated because the Lord is our refuge and our…

Do Not Worry God Knows What You Need

“Therefore, do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things” (Matthew 6:31-32). Do not worry… Three words are so easy to utter, yet so very hard to do. The devil would like to make fearful. Prices are going up, wages are going down, and with so…

Developing God-Confidence

“For we must never forget, dear brothers, what happened to our people in the wilderness long ago. God guided them by sending a cloud that moved along ahead of them, and he brought them all safely through the waters of the Red Sea. This might be called their ‘baptism’—baptized both in sea and cloud!—as followers of Moses—their commitment to him as their leader. And by a miracle God sent them food…

You Are God’s Righteousness

“You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger; for your anger does not produce God’s righteousness.” (James 1:19-20). There was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going back and…

Attributes of God: The Heavens Declare His Glory

Who is God? The heavens declare the attributes of God. His love and His Spirit can also be seen in the universe. All of the creation affirms His glory. Only by faith can we know God’s attributes. We know that God is a faithful Spirit, but who is God? The description of a god is a supernatural being with supernatural powers far beyond that of any human. Ever since the beginning of recorded history…
