July 12 Purpose in your heart

“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself” (Dan. 1:8).

Read Daniel chapter 1 and see how Daniel and the three Hebrew children, although they were captives, were chosen as students in the king’s college.

The Bible says that Daniel “purposed in his heart.” I use this phrase with the Lord. I knew tha

See Yourself Strong

And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

- Numbers 13:33

How does the devil see you? Does he see you as a terrifying and mighty warrior of God...or does he see you as a wimp he can whip in a minute?

The answer to that question depends on you. I realized that one day as I was studying the children of Israel and their failure to enter the Promised Land. The key to their failure is found in these words: “And we were in our o

July 10 Hope

There are mornings when the weight of the week hasn't even started, and I'm already tired. Maybe you know that feeling.1 Peter 1:3-5 has been on my mind lately, and I keep coming back to it: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who

July 9 Expect a Harvest

Expect a Harvest

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

- Luke 6:38

Give and it shall be given unto you. That statement came straight from the mouth of Jesus. Yet there are a great many believers who flatly refuse to believe it. In fact, they actually have the mistaken idea that it’s wrong to expect

JULY 8 Put the Word First

‌

For skillful and godly Wisdom is the principal thing.... Prize Wisdom highly and exalt her, and she will exalt and promote you; she will bring you to honor when you embrace her.

- Proverbs 4:7-8, The Amplified Bible

I want to tell you the only real secret to getting ahead in this world. It’s simple. Put the Word of God first place in your daily life.

“Well,” you may be saying, “I’ve heard that before. It’s no secret.” But when you understand what I mean, it could be a revela

July 7 A Healthy Dose of Love

A Healthy Dose of Love

Love...is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].

- 1 Corinthians 13:4-5, The Amplified Bible

Walking in love is good for your health. Did you know that?

It’s true! Medical science has proven it. Researchers have discovered that hostility produces stress that causes ulcers, tension headaches and a host of other ills.

Now when you think of hostility, you may think of the typ

You have miracle-working God inside you. And there are people all around you who need Him. So quit waiting to feel like you have the power to do it and get out there. Once you do, you’ll discover that the power you’ve been waiting on has been right there inside you all the time...waiting on you!

July 5 The Anointed Word

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7 KJV).

God has given the body of Christ two key commandments. The first is to love God with all of our being. The second is to love our neighbor as yourself. While it seems impossible to love some people, with God all things are possible.

He will not require something of His people that He di

July 4 Faith Food Devotions

“And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life [zoe] through his name” (John 20:30,31).

Jesus did many things that are not recorded in John’s Gospel, or in the other Gospels. But the things that are recorded in the Gospels are recorded for a purpose. What is this purpos

Part of our destiny as Christians is to be persecuted and falsely accused because of our faith. This will happen to us at some point in our lives. Jesus warned His disciples these things will happen and

July 1 Just Laugh at the Devil

“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh” (Ps. 2:2-4).

God is pouring out His Spirit like never before. We are in the midst of the greatest harvest of souls, the likes we’ve never before seen. But with all that anointing He’s placed in and on us, He’s also given us great respo

Devotion for Working Women

Jesus said those words to His disciples after they asked Him who could ever be saved. They thought it was too hard or impossible for any person to be saved on their own. But that’s why the gift of salvation is just that—a gift given to us by God’s grace. We receive salvation by faith.

This message, however, goes beyond salvatio

June 29 The Anointed Word

“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed” (1 Peter 2:24 KJV).

Witnessing in the earth is the blood of Jesus. It is a witness to your healing. Your body may be wracked with pain, but the blood speaks out, YOU ARE HEALED. Now receive your healing today.

Because we are in Christ, we can now live in right standing with God.

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures” (1 Cor. 15:3-4).

I read some time ago about a so-called minister of the Gospel who was a man of some acclaim. Some reporters interviewed him when he arrived in a large city about an article he had written.

In the article, he

June 27 Grace

Discover What Grace Can Do

And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

- Acts 4:33

Most of us don’t have any idea what grace really is. Oh, we know some basic facts about it. We know we were saved by it (Ephesians 2:8). But we don’t even begin to understand the real power it can release in our lives now, today!

If you want to get a picture of what grace can really do, look at what happened to the earl
