“The Holy Spirit shows up in Person, not in Portion.” – Brook Potter When the God-head decided to create offspring to share in their fellowship, they didn’t start by making man, rather they started by creating everything else that man would ever need to live and fulfill his purpose upon the earth. God was a…
Hebrews 9:15 – 16 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be…
“If you believe you are just a Sinner Saved by Grace, then you will continue to Sin by Faith.” – Kris Vallatton. In the Beginning, Adam and Eve were created in the Image and Likeness of God, and they had no knowledge of good and evil, and no concept of sin. So how do you…
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. I’m often accused of having a gift of healing or a Special Healing Anointing when I go out and work with churches. I would spend hours explaining the authority of the believer and about our completeness in Christ, and at the end when…
We fall short in our understanding of how big the Cross of Christ was, and the major transformation that has taken place within us, as a result of our inclusion in the Finished work. One of the greatest areas this has impacted us is in the subject of God’s Will for our Lives. Under the…
My friend, John Lynch has a great story in his book, TrueFaced about the two roads of Christianity. On the one side the sign says, “Pleasing God,” and on the side the sign says “Trusting God.” Many of us had taken the path of pleasing God, and we believe that to accomplish this, we need to…
Imagine for a moment that you owned a car, and I offered to have a friend of mine come and clean and detail the car for you, for free. Now, while in that conversation, I happen to mention that my friend is a well-known car thief, with warrants for his arrest in over 25 countries….
Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? I’ve often wondered why the Holy Spirit never translated the words of Jesus in the above Scripture into Greek. In the earliest greek manuscripts,…
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having…
John 16:7-11 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness,…
Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. The best example I can give to explain what Justified means, would be to imagine you are charged with a crime, but the courts decide to be merciful and allow you to go free. Now, you…
Yet, in those dark moments, in our failures, when we don’t feel his presence, those are moments we need faith.
