How the king rejoices in your strength, O LORD! He shouts with joy because you give him victory. For you have given him his heart’s desire; you have withheld nothing he requested.. You have endowed him with eternal blessings and given him the joy of your presence. PS21:1,2,6. In His presence there is fullness of joy. […]
So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ. Rom10:17. Faith is built on trust, trust is built on knowing and knowing comes from reading the Word of God and spending time with Him. We need to stir ourselves up and not allow our first love to fade. God is the […]
The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2Chr 16:9a. The Lord is faithful to His Word and to His promises. His heart desire is to see you move into the fullness of what He has for your life. When you keep […]
What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? Rom 8:31-32. You and God are a majority in all things. […]

So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. Rom 8:15-16. How wonderful that when we accept Jesus into […]
