The Prayer of Faith
James 5:15, “and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up.” Last night we had a healing service at Oakey Grove Missionary Baptist Church. Pastor James Joyce and I prayed over a lot of people. You might ask, ” Were they healed?” The answer to…

What Do You Believe?
Matthew 8:13, “Let it be done to you as you have believed!” The Good News is very simple. The blessings of God are very simple. You might be seeking salvation, deliverance or healing. Maybe you’re just in the middle of something through which there seems to be no relief. Maybe the pressures of the world are on you…

Where are You Walking?
1 John 1:6, “If we say we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” There are so many people in the world that talk about the Lord when I’m around, but, aren’t living for Him. They think that if they talk like I talk…

Our Inheritance
Joshua 18:7, “For the Levites have no portion (inheritance) among you, because the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance.” There is so much teaching today about prosperity. Is it carried to extreme in some cases? I’m not here to pass judgment or tell you what is right or wrong. All I want to do…

Wisdom From Above
James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without reproach, and it will be given him.” Rob, my Brother in Christ and good friend, traveled with us to Rock Eagle this weekend. He spoke to me about these daily devotionals. One of…

The Love of God
Romans5:5, ” the love of God has been poured out within our hearts by the Holy Spirit.” We all have the love of God in our hearts. That’s true if you are born again, or to make it simpler, if Jesus is your Lord. So the question I have is this, “If the love of…

Anxiousness
Do you know that one of the biggest sins in the church is worry? That’s right! Matthew 6:25,28,31+34,” Do not be anxious for your life, about clothing, about food or about tomorrow.” You see, being anxious is simply not trusting the Lord. Proverbs 3:5, “Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on…

Transformed Hearts
Peter stood up at the council of Jerusalem. They were debating whether or not the new converts of Gentile descent should be circumcised in accordance with the covenant of Abraham. He was telling them how the Gentiles were brought in to the kingdom and he makes a qualifying statement which is what I believe is…

Unity
Psalm 133, “How good and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity.” Last night at our community prayer meeting we watched a film called Appalachian Dawn. It’s a wonderful story about Manchester County on the eastern side of Kentucky. The people and the land were devastated until the churches came…

It’s Not a Time to Gamble!
John 14:6, ” I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” I’ve heard a lot of different things spoken over the nation and the world for this year. Some of them are the same, some are different. Everyone has a prophecy, or a…
