church spirit holy
When you strip it of everything else, Pentecost stands for power and life. That's what came into the church when the Holy Spirit came down on the day of Pentecost.
believe christian-inspirational people
You asked the Holy Spirit for a miracle, and now that you’ve got one you’re trying to argue it away. People who don’t believe in miracles shouldn’t pray for them.
jesus prayer heaven
After much prayer, careful study and reliance on the Holy Spirit, I have concluded this about Christ’s intercession for us. Jesus died on the cross to purchase peace with God for me – and He is in heaven now to maintain that peace, for me and in me.
soul tears down-and
What is it about tears that should be so terrifying? the touch of God is marked by tears...deep, soul-shaking tears, weeping...it comes when that last barrier is down and you surrender yourself to health and wholeness
trying want doe
God does sometimes change our trying circumstances. But more often, He doesn't - because He wants to change us.
optimistic biblical past
Biblical hope is not wishful thinking or an optimistic outlook; rather, it is a confident expectation based on the certainty of God's Word that as He has anchored us in the past, so He will in the future.
believe mean failing
To believe when all means fail is exceedingly pleasing to God and is most acceptable.
wrath world christ
Christ died to save this lost world; he did not come to destroy, maim or pour out wrath.
want purity
We want his power more than his purity.
crush pain godly
As I look back over fifty years of ministry, I recall innumerable tests, trials and times of crushing pain. But through it all, the Lord has proven faithful, loving, and totally true to all his promises.
gods-faithfulness painful midst
Our faith is not meant to get us out of a hard place or change our painful condition. Rather, it is meant to reveal God's faithfulness to us in the midst of our dire situation.
blood enemy newness-of-life
We are blood-secured, delivered from the enemy’s power, and raised up into newness of life in God.
angel men broken
God uses people. God uses people to perform His work. He does not send angels. Angels weep over it, but God does not use angels to accomplish His purposes. He uses burdened broken-hearted weeping men and women.
debt-free debt ministry
Our ministry is debt free and we have not had to beg or plead for finances.
