”So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.” Genesis 22:14 On the way up the mountain, when asked by Isaac where was the sacrifice Abraham replied, not knowing how prophetic this statement would be, “God will provide Himself a Lamb.” As Abraham lifted up the knife to thrust it in the chest of Isaac the Angel of the Lord abruptly stopped him. Abraham was not playing and this was no half hatred attempt on his part to sacrifice his son. I’m sure[…]

“The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.” Genesis 39:2 Does seventeen, scared, stripped, shackled, mocked, abused, thrown in a situation and country where you know no one or their language, and are auctioned off by the slave traders, sound like the picture of success to you? Well, it certainly doesn’t to me, at least not in the natural, but that’s exactly how Joseph is described in Genesis 39:2, as a “successful man.” This kind of changes the whole paradigm of success, doesn’t it? It’s certainly[…]

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 18:19 It would be real easy to just say the final component to the “Armor of God” is prayer and just close the book on Ephesians. But Paul instructs us in Ephesians 6:18 to pray with “all prayer” and in the original Greek language that the New Testament was written in which means “all manner of”-as in “all manner or types of prayer.” Praying[…]

“And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 (Amplified Bible) Every time you go into your bank to make a withdrawal, there are two things you absolutely must have. First, you need a withdrawal slip and second, you need the money in your account to draw from. In Philippians 4:17, the Apostle Paul talks about us having a Heavenly account, “Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.” Just two verses later in that same chapter,[…]

“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Colossians 1:27 The days of strong armed sales tactics are over. People have grown weary from any attempt to force them into making a purchase. This push back has brought about a lot of change in the world of sales and marketing. Companies today, are finding much more success in the softer approach of “Solution Selling.” Even in the Church world, there has been a realization that the old ways of[…]

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 Most likely you have heard about or seen the movie “Facing the Giants” that was released back in 2006 and produced by Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, GA. What most likely made this low budget film so popular, was its story of how everyday people overcame insurmountable opposition and struggle by putting their complete trust in God. Among the[…]

I’ll never forget, years ago, when I sensed this question stirring in my spirit, “Do you know how saved you really are?” Now having grown up in and around church most all my life, my initial answer to this internal question was quick. I said to myself, “Sure I know how saved I am.” After all, I had heard the “Gospel Story” since I was just a child and I had even “asked Jesus into my heart” when I was just four years old. If anyone had asked me what it meant to be “Saved,” prior to this moment, my[…]
