Just as God’s Word has power, ours has the power of life and death. We can speak words of life or death, blessing or cursing, and our words can control our destiny. In Mark 11:23, Jesus teaches us about the power of our words when we speak God’s words to our mountains. Our words unleash the miracle working powers of God.

God made us in His own image and gave us authority over all the earth. Just as God’s Word has power, ours has the power of life and death. We can speak words of life or death, blessing or cursing, and our words can control our destiny. God is listening to our words. What are we saying that God is hearing?

Before we can successively stand in faith for healing, we must be fully convinced that healing and health are always the will of God. This truth is the basis for our faith. Faith for healing comes from hearing the Word. The Word must be exalted above what we feel or think. This is the true fight of faith.

We are in the last days and can be a part of the generation that ushers in Jesus’ return. Shouldn’t we be about the Lord’s business? Though many are predicting the date of His return, let’s focus on doing what Jesus commanded us to do until He comes.

To overcome Satan’s fiery darts and lies, we must stand ready with our minds tucked deeply into the truth. Our minds are not to be wasted on Satan’s lies. Receive an understanding for girding up our loins.

Experiencing more of God doesn’t happen because we want it to. If we want to experience something higher in God, we must do our part by lifting up certain areas of our lives to a higher level so God can do His part. Receive an understanding of what it takes to experience more of God.

Whatever the goal, there will be challenges along the way, and setbacks to overcome. We must take courage, stay steadfast and move forward in faith. Then, through the power of God, we will be victorious and achieve success.

Our freedoms are so valued that many brave men and women sacrificed their lives to provide them and protect them. But as wonderful as these freedoms are, there is another freedom that is far greater. Receive an understanding of how Jesus is the source of true freedom.

One of the purposes for signs and wonders is to get people to believe in God–to believe He exists, in His integrity, His faithfulness and awesome power.

In Matthew 12:38-40, Jesus states that wicked people seek signs with no intention of believing in Him no matter how many signs they see. Receive an understanding of Signs and Wonders and how they serve to further the purposes of God.

We are living in the last of the last days. God is moving by His Spirit transforming the Church to be as it was in the book of Acts, when signs and wonders confirmed the gospel message and convinced unbelievers to believe. Our prayer should be “stretch forth thine hand to heal and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy Holy Child Jesus.”

Seven Jewish feast days reveal God’s redemptive plan. Each one has significance and meaning. Passover (crucifixion), unleavened bread (burial), first fruits (resurrection), Pentecost (Holy Spirit), trumpets (rapture), atonement (blood applied), tabernacles (1000 year reign). In Acts 1:4-5, Jesus gave instruction to the apostles regarding receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit as promised from the Father. Receive an understanding of the Pentecost and the importance of tongues.

Receive an understanding of the facts about the Spirit Baptism and things done by man that will block the Spirit’s Power.

To believers, nothing is more important than finding and fulfilling God’s plan for our lives. Knowing this, James addresses an attitude in the book of James 4:13-17 that existed among the believers of his day. In their arrogance, they planned their future independent of God. His counsel is for today.

In Colossians 1:9-13, Paul’s prayer sums up our teaching. We’ve been delivered from Satan’s kingdom, we have an inheritance in Christ, and even though Satan will try to prevent us from experiencing our blessings, by faith we can enter our rest and enjoy the full blessings of the gospel.

We’ve come to Jesus. Now it’s up to us to take possession of our inheritance by faith. According to Hebrews 6:11-12, we are not to be slothful or inactive, but diligent to use our faith and inherit the promises already provided for us in Christ.
