Unlock the Mysteries - when you pray in the spirit, you'll get answers. The answers to your circumstances will rise up inside you. You'll get a word, a sentence. You'll begin to understand things you've never understood before. God has things for us that are so much better than what we can imagine that we can't even figure them out. If we pray in the spirit, we'll get beyond what little we know and get into what God knows. Spend time praying in the spirit every day. Tap into what God knows

"For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. "Indeed, no one understands him: 'he utters mysteries wit...

Rainbows and God’s Promises - there’s no end to a rainbow - a rainbow is a full circle. Rainbows give us much to consider — how God has no beginning or end, and that He reveals His promises to us no matter where we are. Our never-ending, eternal God “set His rainbow in the clouds” as a promise to never flood the earth again “to destroy all life.” Our Creator shares His reminder of that promise with us, His creation. “The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth ... No one can measure the depths of his understanding.” What an amazing thought. We will have eternity to learn about our promise keeper, and we’ll never reach the ultimate depth of His understanding

"I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth." - Genesis 9:13 While I ...
Arise Shine - Chris Christensen - Arise, Shine for Your light has come Your light has come And the glory of the Lord has come upon you arise, shine arise, shine Arise, shine for Your light has come

Sword of the Spirit - when the apostle Paul referred to “the word of God” as “the sword of the Spirit,” he used the word rhema for “word of God.” He seems to be saying that we should take up a portion, a verse, or a promise in Scripture when defending ourselves in spiritual warfare. That’s what Jesus did when He defended Himself against the temptations of Satan in the wilderness. Three times He quoted verses from Deuteronomy to refute Satan’s carnal attempts. Just as Jesus quoted the Old Testament from memory in the wilderness, so must we commit Scripture to memory, so it is always at hand when Satan attacks. Satan has no defense against the power of the truth of God

"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." - Ephesians 6:17 In the New Testament,...
His Everlasting Arms - in the evening Jesus and His disciples were in a boat and a violent storm arose. They awoke Jesus from His sleep and cried, “Master, carest thou not that we perish?” Of course, Jesus cared, for He loved them. So “he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still." A deep intimacy with Him was John’s, and can be ours, if we will only pillow our head on Him. The affairs of this life interrupt our times of intimacy with Him, but there will be a day when we will “ever be with the Lord”

“The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee.” - (Deuterono...
Whatever You Have Is Enough for God - God always has the answer before you even know the problem. He knew it was coming, and he already had a plan for it. Just admit you have a problem you can’t solve on your own, and then give God everything you have

“‘Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?’ He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.” -...
Asleep in Jesus - when an unbeliever dies, he dies without hope. When a believer dies, he is simply “asleep,” as far as his body is concerned. At the same time, his soul and spirit go to be with the Lord. The Bible uses the term “sleep” to describe death only in the case of Christians — never for non-Christians. There is genuine sorrow, of course, when a believer dies, but that sorrow is softened and sublimated by the “blessed hope” of Christ’s return. The souls of those whose bodies who are asleep will return with the Lord when He returns. “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him”

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope....
Follow Your Hunger - hunger will take you where mere curiosity would never go. God is looking for hungry people. He is seeking people who are truly seeking Him. He has bread from Heaven for us, and it is eternally satisfying. God has eternal food prepared for us. We cannot afford to settle into the routine of a fenced-in reality, not when God has eternal food prepared for us. Let us, therefore, follow our hunger as we pursue the presence of God

Today too many Christians have lost their hunger for God. Instead of coming into the Lord’s presence hungry for more of His fullness, our th...
Muzzling an Ox - Paul’s message to the people of Corinth was simple. “The Lord directed those who proclaim the gospel to get their living from the gospel.” They must not only recognize the importance of the Gospel but also recognize and support those who are called by God to preach the Gospel. They were not to “muzzle the ox” — that is, hinder God’s servants through failure to support their ministry. They had a responsibility to support those with proven ministries, enabling them to keep fighting the battle and plowing the fields. As God directs you, support the work of ministries that are bearing fruit. Dedicate yourself to seeing the Gospel proclaimed

Don’t hinder God’s servants through a failure to support their ministry financially. This is what the biblical term muzzling an ox means. “Y...
Writing Love in the Dust - Jesus wrote in the dust with his finger. The word translated "dust" is really the word for "earth." Jesus wrote his love into the earth he created - written in dust, not chiseled into stone. Jesus wrote in the dust twice. The woman was little more than window dressing with an exclamation mark for the religious teachers. She was there to help them make their point and trap Jesus. This is a woman who was being exploited by religion. What Jesus did is what really matters. Jesus wrote love in the sand by standing between a mob worked into a frenzy and a humiliated and publicly exposed woman. Jesus stooped down and wrote love in the dust. Just as he had at creation, Jesus made new life out of the dust of the ground. This woman was given a new life out of an awful and inescapable mess

What in the world did Jesus actually write? As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been...
Stand in victory - our past failures don’t disqualify us; they can deepen our dependence and sharpen our obedience. Not all battles come with swords drawn. The enemy often comes in disguise. The devil is a master of suggestion, of false reasoning that blurs conviction with compassion. That’s why spiritual discernment is armor as much as the sword. Our best defense against deception is to stay in step with the Spirit and seek God’s voice before making any decision. Stand - not strive, because the Lord has already conquered. The enemy we face is a defeated one. We overcome not by might, but by positioning ourselves in the triumph of Jesus. We are more than conquerors. What feels like opposition is often a divine opportunity

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand ag...
