Are You Willing to Pay the Price?

There is a price to pay if you want to experience God’s highest and best for your life. Yes, Jesus paid the price to make God’s best available to us, but there is a price WE must pay to walk in what He made available. It won’t just fall on us automatically. So ask yourself the question, "Am I willing to pay the price?".
 
God’s best requires our best. That’s consecrating every aspect of our life to God. Our level of consecration determines how much we walk in God’s blessings. It’s also prioritizing our fellowship with Him above all else. Intimate fellowship with Him is the foundation for receiving His best. Our best means prompt (not delayed!) obedience. God loves prompt responders. Finally, our best means disregarding what our flesh wants and following God’s promptings. Giving God our best in these ways positions us to receive His best.

Two Important Decisions Every Christian Must Make

After giving your life to the Lord, you must make two decisions. One is commit to change your thinking completely through the Word. A renewed mind makes you a salty, effective witness. The other decision is to be led by your spirit. The Holy Spirit lives in your spirit, and He is in constant contact with the Father. By living out of your spirit and hearing His guidance within, you’ll live the victorious, fruitful life God has planned for you!

Angels Are Listening to What You Say

Believers need the assistance of angels in every aspect of their lives. And the angels are listening to what you say; they take their cue from us because they are sent to minister to those who will inherit salvation. And since God raised us up to sit together with Jesus, we have the same authority as He does to instruct angels. We are joint heirs with Him. Let us not neglect to employ our angels with our words!

Intercessory Prayer - Dealing with Dark Forces

Evil spirits, Satan’s minions, will try to influence people as long as the earth remains. However, Jesus gave believers the authority to hinder evil forces from impacting us. He also gave us the assignment to intercede for others with the Holy Spirit’s help. We’re called to intercede for governments, the lost, believers, and churches. We must press in and persistently pray in tongues if we want people to come into God’s Kingdom and delivered from Satan’s bondage!

The Mercy of God

God is a God of mercy and justice. We all need His mercies. And He abundantly pardons. When we go astray, we simply repent (turn around), and He forgives us. This is like expunging a guilty record in court. We’re declared free when we repent and receive His mercies. In the Old Testament the mercy seat was the cover for the Ark of the Covenant and a reminder that God meets us in His mercy. Now Jesus is forever on the mercy seat!

Intercessory Prayer

All Christians have an assignment to pray. We can accomplish much by praying in the Spirit, in other tongues, because we’re not limited to what our minds comprehend. The Holy Spirit takes hold together with us, helping us intercede for people. Intercession brings people out of crisis situations and makes great power available to them. We can freely give ourselves to the Holy Spirit as vessels for intercession. Let’s allow His compassion and power flow to a needy world!

Daily Faith | Dr. Sanjay & Katherine Thorat

To fulfill God’s purpose for us and to walk in His fullness, we must walk daily in the new life and the liberty that Christ purchased for us. By daily searching God’s Word, listening to Him, and having our being in Him, we can walk above circumstances. We become bold vessels who declare to people that Jesus is Lord. God has qualified and anointed us to preach the Good News and bring in the harvest!

Spiritual Blind Spots | Kevin and Anne Durant

To grow up in Christ, we must let God reveal our blind spots —areas in our lives wedon’t see without the help of God and people like our pastor. When we recognize our blind spots, God helps us make necessary corrections so we can move forward. We must also be rooted in the knowledge that our spirit man — the born again part of us — is completely clean is God’s eyes. Knowing this enables us to run our race without looking back at past mistakes!

Why Many Christians Miss God

God has a plan for each of us! Why do many Christians miss His plan? One reason is if we live by our emotions or our mind. Also, weights or sins hold us back—they dull our spirits and we miss the Holy Spirit’s promptings. Not being consecrated to His will and not waiting on God in prayer will also cause us to miss God. But by correcting these things, we won’t miss God’s plans for our lives!

Dressed for Successful Prayer

The armor of God teaches us to be prepared for prayer. Wrestling denotes great effort; we don’t fight against the devil -- he’s already defeated! The only wrestling is for faith and holding fast to the Word. The helmet of salvation means knowing our rights and privilges in Christ. The breastplate is our righteousness in Him. Shod feet mean light for our path. The shield means facing the enemy head on. The sword of the Spirit is the Word, and Jesus demonstrated how to answer the enemy with the Word.
