Overcoming the World! No weapon formed against you shall prosper. And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord. Isaiah 54:17. I am reminded, Lord, that Your Word has much to say about […]

Set the Standard! “Praise the LORD! How joyful are those who fear the LORD and delight in obeying his commands. Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed. They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will last forever.” Psalms 112: 1-3; New Living Translation In the […]

The Bible is a Fire and a Hammer! Because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold, and because I consider all your precepts right, I hate every wrong path. Psalms 119:127-128. I must understand that the Bible is not only my source of comfort, but also my source of bruising due […]

Eternal Eyes And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not (invisible), to bring to nought things that are (visible): 1 Corinthains 1:28.

Secondhand Knowledge! The world is unable to receive Him because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him because He remains with you and in you. John 14:17 I must be careful not to “know” Christ in the natural way. Paul said, “Even though we have known Christ according to the […]
