Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. (James 5:16-18) Elijah had been instructed by theContinueContinue reading “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. (Isa 24:5) Our society is crumbling because of the rampant violation of God’s spiritual laws and ordinances, and the rejection of His covenant. When godless people embrace abortion, homosexual marriage, gender confusion, and lookContinueContinue reading “Why is the earth suffering?”

We all want things. We want better marriages, the resources to do more for our children, better jobs, better health, more peace and joy, etc. The list could go on and on. The desire for more isn’t wrong. God put His nature in us and His nature brings forth increase. The desire for more apartContinueContinue reading “Who Wants More?”

And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:7-8) Jesus saw the upheaval of the last days and gave us a warning. Living by faith is not an option in the world in which we live. Faith comes from hearing God (Rom. 10:17), soContinueContinue reading “Thoughts about the days in which we live”

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ (Eph. 1:3). As born again, forgiven, redeemed and reconciled sons and daughters of God, we have been blessed with every blessing! God dwells in us and His nature is life,ContinueContinue reading “What does it look like to be blessed?”

In my opinion the most incredible and glorious chapter in the Bible is Ephesians, chapter 1. The truths revealed are “past finding out!” Consider the following: 1. The Father has blessed us with all blessings (v.3) 2. He has chosen us that we should be holy and blameless before Him (v.4) 3. He has predestinedContinueContinue reading “The Incredible Goodness Of God”

– I will, be clean. (Mt. 8:3). – I took your infirmities. (Mt. 8:17). – I bore your sicknesses. (Mt. 8:17). – I am moved with compassion toward the sick and I heal them. (Mt. 14:14). – I heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. (Mt. 4:23). – According to your faith,ContinueContinue reading “Jesus Says…”

If healing isn’t for all, how can it be for any? The very fact that our bodies are designed to fight sickness and heal themselves is testimony to the fact that God wants us well. Strong, healthy bodies can resist or defeat most sicknesses. When we abuse our bodies or suffer from trauma (emotional orContinueContinue reading “Healing for All”

As you read through the gospels and focus on Jesus’ method of ministry, you will find that He was consistently planting seeds of expectation in those who followed Him. Making promises and giving hope are how Jesus influenced the needy around Him. In each case, Jesus would first expect something from the needy one, andContinueContinue reading “Jesus always created expectations!”

Most who struggle with the idea of prosperity have been offended by the abuse and manipulation of those who have turned the gospel into a “get rich quick” scheme. While we should certainly be aware of this bad teaching, we should also be careful to not discard a powerful truth that can bring great gloryContinueContinue reading “Grace for Resources”
