“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.” Ephesians 1:18-19 Where […]
“They work together, they grow together, they impart life together, with maximum effect.” Understand this: Faith to receive is in the present; the manifestation of what we have received is in the future. Having believed, we enter into our rest and hope takes over. “For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he […]
“Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17:21 Prayer and fasting are non-negotiable requirements for access to revelation, which comes principally from Word study.

“Because you say: I am rich, I have become wealthy, and I need nothing, and because you do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.” (Revelation 3:17) The consequence of lives without intimacy with God is the corruption that infiltrates the church. Today, it is difficult to see a difference between […]
“No one lights a lamp and puts it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.“ Matthew 5:15 When I speak of influence, I am not referring to influence derived from financial power. Today, for many people, including numerous Christians, having a lot of […]
“If a man therefore purges himself from these things, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.” (2 Timothy 2:21) Some Christians are vessels of honor, while others are vessels for dishonorable use.
