Prayer That Works!

But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!” Acts 3:6 (NLT) We can pray in a way that gets results. Unfortunately, many people mistakenly think prayer is just some poetic way of expressing their hardships and troubles. They believe because David cried out about his needs and brokenness in the Psalms, that that’s how they should pray before God, too. But we often forget that we do not live under the Old Covenant as David did. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we now live under the New Covenant. Studying the New Covenant from the book of Acts and onward, we find the …

You must serve only the Lord your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will protect you from illness. There will be no miscarriages or infertility in your land, and I will give you long, full lives. Exodus 23:25 (NLT) God’s Word overflows with His promises for us. However, it’s our job to pull the trigger and personally claim what Jesus has won for us. Look at today’s verse, for example. If ever there was a time we should be praying this promise, it’s today. God’s promises include personal protection and a healthy, growing family—regardless of what gets into our food or water supply or what we might breathe in through our lungs. The question is, are you …

What Does Humility Really Mean?

God said, Let us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth…. Genesis 1:26 (AMPC) Many believers get hung up on a false sense of humility. Growing up, I remember hearing teaching about how a church shouldn’t grow beyond a couple of hundred people lest the church become too arrogant, or the pastor become too prideful. It was all centred around staying humble. Now, humility is a great quality to have. But that word has been misunderstood by many people to mean staying small, average or insignificant. If my wife and I had followed …

Todos los que son guiados por el Espíritu de Dios, son hijos de Dios. Romanos 8:14 (DHH) Todos queremos una dirección clara para nuestras vidas, pero a veces creemos que obtenerla es complicado. Creemos que debemos buscar a alguien con la palabra correcta de Dios para nosotros, o tenemos que pasar días ayunando y orando para obtener instrucciones. Pero Dios desea que nosotros, como Sus hijos, escuchemos y permitamos que el Espíritu Santo nos guíe en todas las áreas de nuestra vida. ¿Cómo Él lo guía? Si bien el Espíritu Santo puede hablarnos de muchas maneras, las principales formas en que Él se comunica con nosotros son a través de la Palabra de Dios y en lo más profundo de nuestro corazón. Proverbios 20:27 dice: …
