Hope: Reliable Anchor for Our Souls

Hope is the reliable anchor for our souls. There are those who see the Christmas season as the season of perpetual hope; others, not so much. Scripture tells us in Hebrews 6:16 – 19 that Jesus is that HOPE, “Among men it is customary to swear by something greater than themselves.  So in this matter, God, wishing to show beyond doubt that his plan was unchangeable, confirmed it with an oath. So that by two utterly immutable things, the word of God and the oath of God, who cannot lie, we who are refugees from this dying world might have Read More

Celebrating the Feasts of the Lord

Celebrating the Feasts of the Lord is not common among Christians. In my house, we celebrate Passover or the Feast of Unleavened Bread. As a Christian, I think it is important to understand why God created these Feast days and what the significance is for Christians. Our Passover celebration is based on the fact the Jesus is the Passover lamb. () When we eat the matzo (unleavened bread) we understand the sacrifice which was made for us. Picture the matzo; the holes in the matzo represent the nail holes in His broken body and the stripes in the matzo represent Read More

Prayer Secrets #3: Pray in Faith

Faith begins where the will of God is known. The prayer secret for this week is: Pray in Faith What is faith? “By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom, and goodness of God]” (). It is impossible to please God without Faith, for He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. () You cannot pray beyond your faith. How can you pray when you do not know God’s will for that situation? You can’t claim healing in your body if you do not know that it’s God’s will for you Read More

Worship:It’s All About Him

Worship is more than singing, it’s all about Him.  John 4:24 says, “God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth”. Like prosperity, worship is a wholeness word. It not only includes singing, but also giving, loving, trusting, hoping, praying, obeying, reading the Word, and so much more. It’s about surrendering our whole being to the one true God. We do not change God through our worship, we are changed. The act of what we call ‘going to a worship service’ is in itself a separate form of worship. Anything that we Read More
