A Living Example of Love

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

- Romans 5:5

Don’t ever worry about not having enough love inside you. The Word says God’s love is shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost. God’s love is in you. What you need to do is make a decision and let it flow.

Pray this prayer today.

In Jesus’ Name, I make a fresh and strong commitment today to live the life of love, to

Let Your Life Begin Again

Behold, now is the day of salvation.

- 2 Corinthians 6:2

Did you know that Jesus has unlocked the prison doors of guilt that have kept you captive? It doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve been. I don’t care if you’ve been a prostitute, a murderer, a thief, a drug dealer or a churchgoer who’s never made Jesus Christ Lord of your life. The Bible says that today is the day of salvation.

A new life is only a prayer away.

Gloria and I discovered that f

Making Godly Decisions“In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”—Proverbs 3:6Are you facing a significant decision? Then look again at these words in Proverbs 3:6. Implicit in this verse is the truth that God knows what is best for us and that He wants to guide us so we will make right, God-honoring decisions.When you face a decision about your future, seek God’s will above all else. Make your decision a matter of prayer, and ask Him to guide you. ...

Receive His Mercy

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

- Psalm 136:1

God’s mercy endures forever! His willingness to act on man’s behalf is still operating in the earth. His mercy never runs out. Neither has it abated or weakened.

“Praise the Lord! His mercy endureth forever!” Mighty and powerful things happened when Israel said these words. They are words of praise and adoration to God.

When Solomon finished building the house of the Lo

Watch and Pray

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

- Matthew 26:41

Have you ever been frustrated with the weaknesses of your flesh? Have you ever resolved never more to yield to a particular sin, yet when the temptation came, you fell right back into it?

It’s happened to all of us—even the disciple Peter. He swore he would never deny Jesus...but he did it anyway, time and time and time again.

There is, however,

A Child’s Faith“Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.”—Mark 10:14Young children can ask the most amazing questions about God and heaven! And when they do, we shouldn’t ignore them or act like their questions aren’t important—because they are.When children ask you about God, do your best to answer simply and honestly in terms they can understand. Of course they don’t need deep and complicated answers, but just because...

Sept.25

Ministry has a way of piling fear on your shoulders that was never meant to be carried. Fear of a shrinking budget. Fear of a critical email. Fear of not measuring up to the church down the road. I've felt all of it, and I imagine you have too.Jesus spoke straight into this kind of fear when He told His disciples in Matthew 10:28-31, "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sp

Our Sovereign God“Do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?”—Romans 2:4Has it ever bothered you that some people who turn their backs on God seem to go through life without ever having anything bad happen to them? Life is so easy for them that they can’t see any reason to bother with God.But we don’t know their hearts: deep inside they may actually be very insecure and fearful—al...

Let It Flow

Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

- John 4:14

Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Gentleness. Goodness. Faith. Meekness. Temperance. Powerful forces the Bible calls the fruit of the spirit. They’re the character traits of God Himself and when the Holy Spirit came to dwell in you, He brought them with Him, so they could become your

Courage Comes From Faith

Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

- Joshua 1:9

Courage comes from trusting God. It can’t be mentally drummed up. It comes from believing what God says regardless of what the circumstances look like. Courage comes from faith!

Where does discouragement come from? From fear and unbelief. It comes when you listen to the devil’s lies about what God is not goi

Receive Your Miracle

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

- Romans 10:10

Do you need a miracle? Then believe it, confess it and receive it!

"Oh Gloria, I just don't know if I can do that."

Yes, you can! You've already done it once. When you made Jesus the Lord of your life, you believed, confessed and received the greatest miracle in the universe, the miracle of a reborn spirit! Every other miracle you receiv

New Truths

by Dick Mills | The Spirit Filled Believer

“The owner of a house…brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old” (Matt. 13:52).

Part Two

Yesterday’s article spoke of the value of the “old” treasures. In addition to time-honored and trustworthy truths, the Lord has some “new” truths for us. In the Old Testament, the word new has the connotation of something fresh, exhilarating, invigorating. One translation of it is “fresh and green.” “Having life,” “being

Don’t Discard the Old

by Dick Mills | The Spirit Filled Believer

“The owner of a house…brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old” (Matt. 13:52).

Part One

This is a balance verse. It tells us that we do not have to choose between old and new. We can have both. In a world given to choosing up sides, it is good to know that we can reap the benefits of both sides. The kingdom of God is not an either/or proposition. It is both old and new.

Old is a good word because i

Let God Be True in Your Life

by Mark Brazee | 365 Days of Healing, Devotions

“God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar…” (Rom. 3:4).

Paul was saying to the Romans, “You have to choose what you’re going to believe.” Every person in this world has to decide what is going to be true in his life.

Notice, Paul didn’t say, “God is true.” He said, “Let God be true.” You is the understood subject of the sentence. That means you are to let God be true in your life. Are yo

Proclaim His Excellence

by Tim Davidson | A Verse A Day

“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the Excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

God made us to be a people for His habitation and possession, in order that we would proclaim the virtues and benefits of Jesus Who called us. By our lifestyle, words, deeds, attitudes, and charact...
