“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 The word “behold” means, “Look here”, all things have been affected by reason of your redemption. Salvation represents new life, a new beginning. It represents the dawn of a […]
Now you are one with the Father (as we have seen), and one of the proofs of that identification is mental distinction. That is the pattern that Jesus set for us, so take advantage of it. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all […]
“I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” Psalm 82:6 Friend, it is God that is speaking here. Mark this “all of you”! This revelation is not just for the apostles, prophet and teachers, but for, “all of you.” This brings us al into the same class, […]
“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 […]
The fear of God entails having a holy reverence for His Word. When you do that, you will not fall into any form of sin. The subject of sin has been brought up at this stage because it is a fundamental hindrance to the effectual working of faith. Just as love is a fundamental prerequisite […]

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 […]
“I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends…” (John 15:15) Intimacy with God has several levels. It is important for you to know your position in relation to these different levels of intimacy with God so that you can determine how to […]
“Then Peter opened his mouth and said, ‘In truth, I perceive that God shows no partiality.‘” (Acts 10:34) When considering the different levels of intimacy with God, one might ask: Does God distinguish between His children? If so, wouldn’t that be favoritism? Know this—God has no “favorite” children. He does not prefer some people over […]
Love is the master facilitator of fulfilment of prophecies. This is how that plays out: we know that every prophecy delivers on faith. “And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.” Luke 1:45 But our faith delivers according to our level […]
Whatever is not of faith is sin. “And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” Romans 14:23 Whatever we don’t do in faith is dead; nothing will result from it. Therefore, our expectation must be in place to qualify for […]
