Rom. 8:15 states, “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” Rom. 8:31 says, “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Fear is torturing. I John 4:18, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” (*You will...

Christ’s birth was FORETOLD then, Luke 2:52 states, “And Jesus increased in wisdom (in broad and full understanding) and stature (years), and in favor with God and man.” Jesus who was God had to follow PROTOCOL. There was a timing to his life. He moved in the unforced rhythms of Grace.

Anytime we step away from God’s idealistic plan, we have to “go around the mountain” until we learn that He is all that we need! Many...

Is. 12:3 “Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.” Look for joyful people and joyful preachers/teachers, because they have “life” in them. (Let my clarify that there is worldly people with a natural “good disposition.” I am not talking about someone’s personality. Remember: Charm and grace can be quite deceptive!) What I am targeting today is legitimate joy. Happiness is based on happenings. Joy is an...

Love Vs. Lust Sad to say, but many people don’t know the necessary difference between the two. Both involve desire. One gives even if it receives no reward or recognition. The other, when gone unfilled, always turns into revenge and hatred. 1. Love is the strongest force on the planet. It is the essence of God and His very nature.
