Press On

Goliath thought his battle was against a mere shepherd boy. He was wrong. When the Philistine picked a fight with Israel, he picked a fight against God. You are not battling alone. The enemy that is coming against you is coming against your God, so remember the fight is fixed, and victory is certain! [...]

Jesus is our Hope. When the world seems unstable, what is the source of your hope? What do you trust in that will make your circumstances better? Are you waiting on a promotion or for a person to change? Perhaps you’re waiting to become a certain age, and you believe THEN things will get better?   Today, Jesus wants to be your hope. He wants to be the one you look to. He wants to be your refuge and stronghold. Hope brings us security. Hope is evidence of greater love within us. [...]

In discussing the love of God, we must put aside our own presumptions in order to receive God’s revelation. [...]

What were you expecting? There is so much around us influencing our expectations and the outcomes. Perhaps we should surrender our expectations to the one who indeed holds the  [...]

Who are you looking to for an answer? In the last election, Evangelicalism took a hit. With a high percentage of evangelicals, being supporters of Trump, and a slew of almost every recognized prophetic voice declaring Trump the winner, what are we to do when the trusted words of the prophet do not come to pass? We must remember that even when man’s failure does not! Mans’s flaws and unfaithfulness will never negate God’s faithfulness. King David is the representation of God. Faithfulness amidst man’s failure. [...]

Jesus, in as much as he is the author of peace, hope and joy is also the originator of division. Jesus draws a line in the sand and calls to us to step over – abandoning an old life. The problem man Christians face is trying to tote the things Jesus died to save and free us from with is into a new journey, thereby, making no measurable distinction between a life before or after coming into faith.   You have to ask yourself this question: ‘has Jesus made a difference in me?’  [...]

What can we learn from Korah and his rebellion towards Moses? Perhaps that ground that swallowed him up, is the same ground that sprouted a remnant generation birthed in humility and service to God!   I believe God is preparing to call the rebellious back to himself. We will see revival and restoration of prodigals. God will make himself known in the hearts and the lives of our families and our children. [...]

When is the last time you caused someone to feel a little uncomfortable because your presence upset the imbalance of Godlessness? That might sound a little pious or ‘holier than thou’, but that should be an intrinsic response as God’s people are ambassadors of the Holy Spirit. I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of always feeling a little uncomfortable. I think it’s time that believers be light and cause darkness to become uncomfortable. [...]

Belief in Jesus must lead to actions and imperatives, not simply professions. Because faith without works is dead.  Let me encourage you today to be empowered by the call – the fact that God has called, commissioned, and holds incredible plans for you should bring the humility needed to position yourself under God might hand that he may lift you up in due time. You will see the type of victory for which only He can receive the glory.   God is raising up a generation prepared to fight. [...]

The move of God must begin within us. The river spoken of is a powerful, rushing current that saturates, purifies, and satisfies. Jesus made it clear that He alone is the source of the refreshing, life-giving water. He alone satisfies us through and through. [...]
