Earth has no sorrow, Heaven cannot heal.

“Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am. ’ “If you take away the yoke from your midst, The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,  if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.  The LORD will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.” Isaiah 58:9, 11 NKJV  Do you ever feel like your prayers are going nowhere? How do we pray in such a way that God not only hears our prayers but answers them? Isaiah gives us a clue. We need to remove the yoke of sin, drop the finger pointing, and speaking wickedness. As Christians our actions can block the move of God in our lives. The Jews were going to church, learning scripture, and even fasting but nothing was happening. It’s bec...

See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”” ““Therefore prepare yourself and arise, And speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed before their faces, Lest I dismay you before them. “They will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you,” says the LORD, “to deliver you.””  Jeremiah 1:10,17, 19 NKJV There is no harder calling in serving Jesus than the Jeremiah calling. He was called to speak truth and stand for righteousness in the face of adversity. It wasn’t easy and that’s part of the reason Jeremiah was known as the weeping prophet. He was in Jerusalem when it fell to Babylon. He was the one standing before wicked kings and priests calling them out before God. He was thrown into a water cistern where he sunk up to his knees in the miry clay. God called him to do some crazy things as well. It wasn’t an easy life and he...

Are you possessing your land/ taking territory God wants you to take authority over your area of influence and effect change there. Matthew 28:28 Jesus tells us that all authority in heaven and earth has been given to Him, and He in turn sends us in His place, with that same authority. Just as Joshua took over when Moses died, and He believed God completely that God would be with Him and protect the Israelites, WE have to step up and stand in Jesus’ place on the earth, believing with all of our hearts that God will never blink, never sleep, never sneeze or in any way fail to do whatever we ask in Jesus’ name for the kingdom. Look at what God promised Joshua"Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Everyplace that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses." Joshua 1:2-3. When Israel ...

God wants us to stand still and see Jesus our salvation fight for us.... As God led the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery, He brought them to a tight spot. As the powerful army of Egypt approached from the rear, the Israelites saw the Red Sea in front of them and mountains to the sides. They saw no way out! But God is not limited by seemingly impossible situations. He obviously knew what He was going to do. Moses may not have known exactly what God had in mind, but He believed what God said and faithfully passed on God’s encouraging message. When God is on our side, we do not need to fear or fret. God intended to fight their battles for them. They did not need to fight against the well-armed Egyptian army, which was possibly the greatest army on earth at the time. It was Israel’s own faithlessness that later led to God letting them fight their own battles. When God opened up the Red Sea in front of them, Moses’ message and faith prodded them to step forward in faith. G...

Here’s the condition, though. He said,  “This will only happen if you believe on Me in the way the Scripture says” .  Rivers will flow. You could call it a flowing river; you could call it a fiery heart or a fiery flame; it’s the same thing. Whether it’s a flowing river on the inside, as in John 7:38, or rivers flowing in the innermost man, or fire burning on the heart, it’s an identical concept. •    Jesus said in John 7:38,  “Rivers will flow.”  I’m paraphrasing, but there’s a condition. People don’t read the condition, and the condition is this:  “If you believe on Me in the way the Scriptures describe believing on Me.” •    If you go through the New Testament looking for it, you find the biblical definition of believing is believing that incorporates a spirit of dedication, a spirit of devotion, and a spirit of grace. •    I’ve found that many, many people approach the Word with two of the three. You h...

The Spirit Helps Us in Our Weakness But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.  Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.  And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:25–27   Paul is saying … that our failure to know God’s will and consequent inability to petition God specifically and assuredly is met by God’s Spirit, who himself expresses to God those intercessory petitions that perfectly match the will of God. When we do not know what to pray for—yes, even when we pray for things that are not best for us—we need not despair, for we can depend on the Spirit’s ministry of perfect intercession “on our behalf.” In this particular season of my life i found i saw the power of the holy spirit moving ...

Is it really necessary to serve God? What is the purpose of changing our priorities to accomplish tasks that God could honestly do better and more quickly without us?  Acts 10:34,35 - God is no respecter of persons. In every nation, those who fear Him and work righteousness are accepted by Him. Everyone can serve God successfully. This is not just for other people. It includes you and me. [2 Peter 3:9; 1 Tim. 2:4,6; Titus 2:11-14; Acts 2:38,39; Mark 16:15,16; Matt. 28:18-20; Rom. 1:16] Peter addresses the importance of serving God in  1 Peter 4:10-11 : “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.” Peter makes it clear that we ha...
