Faithful in Prayer Assignments

Sometimes, God will give you an assignment to pray about. It could be for someone in your family, a person you know who is not saved, your city, county, state, or nation—or even people from another nation.

The important thing about God assignments is to do them until you are told to stop or the unction to pray on that has lifted. God is always looking for people to stand in the gap for others.

Ezekiel 22:30 – “So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stan

In Part 1 of Empowered for the Times, we saw Jesus’ encounter at the temple when He was 12 years old. After that, He spent another 18 years preparing Himself in scripture, prayer, and fellowship with His Father.

When He was 30 years old, He came to be baptized by John. He was anointed with the Holy Spirit, who immediately drove Him into isolation in the wilderness. What for? To be tempted by the devil. What? You mean we must be tempted in o

Who Is Writing My Story?

I recently saw a quote that read, “I feel like my life is being written by someone who doesn’t like me very much.” I thought, “Welcome to the world.” We live in a fallen world where a spiritual battle has been waged against mankind! 

Let me give you a discouraging word. I don’t care how saved you are, the devil hates you. Regardless of your salvation, his main goal is to keep you from walking in God's plan for your life. Some people call this stealing the Glory, because if

PRAYER - Fellowshipping with God

Prayer is nothing more than talking to God. You can talk with Him as you would your father or your best friend. You can be honest with Him because He already knows what is in your heart. He knows what is bothering you. He knows what you have need of even before you ask Him (Matthew 6:8). 

Adam and Eve fellowshipped with God daily before the fall. God created them in His likeness and image so He would have someone on His level He could fellowship with (Genesis 1:26-27). God

The Times

The times we are living in today are about 2,000 years since the birth of the church of the Lord Jesus—which is actually very close to the allotted time given to us for this age. First John 2:18 (KJV) tells us that it is the last time and there are many antichrists out there. The words “last time” here mean the very farthest hour, the end or last of the latter end. We are just about there.

Do you know what this means? Every Christ

Obedience Tastes Like Coffee

Budget anxiety is a real thing! It is not of God, but it is a real thing. It looks for every opportunity to take you from faith straight into the arms of worry, fret, and fear—especially when you’re at Walmart watching the cash register continually increase in the amount you have spent. I vividly remember the day when the Lord taught me a valuable lesson on the heavenly economy. 

As I watched the register calculate at check out, it was clear to me that I went way over my a

Furnace Faith

In Matthew 8:2, Scripture tells us that a leper came to Jesus and worshiped him and said, "I know you can make me clean if you will." Now the Holy Spirit evidently wanted to make a point of this because He repeated Himself twice more in Mark 1:40 and also in Luke 5:12. 

In all three examples, He used the Greek word thelo or theleo for ‘if you will.’ Now, using the meaning of this Greek word, the man was saying, "Jesus, I know without a doubt You have all the ability and po
