I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Ephesians 3:16 (NLT) Have you always felt like there’s more to life? All throughout the Word, we find Jesus’ teaching about how to get the miraculous to work. He taught that we were created in the likeness and image of God not to be average, mediocre people. We were created for something great and we have the nature of God in Christ! But our hearts must be cultivated to release God’s power (which is now in us) into our lives! You see, your heart is like an amplifier. One person’s voice can be amplified to be heard by thousands in a stadium. It can be recorded and …

Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 1 Peter 3:3–4 (NKJV) After the Day of Pentecost, the disciples were heroic beyond belief. They did amazing things—performing miracles, raising the dead, healing the sick and casting out devils. They were whipped and beaten, killed and raised to life, shipwrecked for days in shark-infested waters… yet they still kept going. What was it about them that made them so fearless? They spent time cultivating their inner lives—an idea that was once common but seems foreign to most believers today. …

Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life. Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) The Bible has a lot to say about your heart. It teaches that you can think with your mind, but you can also think with your heart—which acts like the control centre of your life. Psychologists often call this part of you the subconscious. They have a limited understanding of it because they tend to focus mainly on the hurts and heartaches that come out of it, but it holds so much more! Your heart is powerful, which is why Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” (NKJV) You are not as you think in your mind, but as you think in …

Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:16 (AMP) There are two kinds of lives that we build and cultivate—our inner lives and our outer lives. The difficult thing about modern society is that it keeps us focused on the external. Most (if not all) of the inventions over the last 200 years have been focused on the external. They help us to cook and clean faster, look better, enjoy more entertainment, have greater comfort and travel more easily. While I’m certainly not saying that these advancements are negative, we have to be careful. Becoming overly focused on our outer world is absolutely devastating to our inner lives. This inner world …

“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.” John 16:13 (NKJV) Has anyone ever told you that you can’t have your cake and eat it too? Many people think it’s impossible to have both a successful business and a happy marriage. They think that something has to give and you have to choose your priorities. While prioritizing is important, as a believer you are capable of so much more than you realize. God’s supernatural power can radiate from you.  You can achieve greater inner strength and increased capacity by getting your heart persuaded …
