Ask to Hear Him Better
Scripture “I will listen to what God the Lord says…” (Psalm 85:8, NIV) Word Oftentimes, people think they can’t hear from God. They think He doesn’t talk to them. But really, it isn’t that God isn’t speaking; it’s not that He isn’t giving us direction. The problem is that we’re not always paying attention. Learning […]
Take Time to Listen to God
Scripture “And the Lord utters His voice before His army, for His host is very great, and [they are] strong and powerful who execute [God’s] word…” (Joel 2:11, AMP) Word God teaches us to hear His voice little by little. It can be something as simple as being at the mall and not feeling good […]
Peace with Your Enemies
Scripture “When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” (Proverbs 16:7, ESV) Word What does it mean to please the Lord? In the book of Hebrews, it says that faith pleases God. Faith is simply believing that God is who He says He is and […]
Follow Peace

Tune in to Him
Scripture “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27, NIV) Word Right now, there are hundreds of radio frequencies in the air, hundreds of television signals all around you.

Angels Move on Your Behalf
Scripture “Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.” (Psalm 103:20, NIV) Word Did you know that when you speak words of faith, angels are commissioned to move on your behalf? The Scripture tells us that God gives His angels charge over us. That means, when […]

Scripture “Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared…” (1 John 3:2, ESV) Word What if you had been born to the Rockefeller family? You’d expect to have some advantages, wouldn’t you? If you were born into the Kennedy family or the Bill Gates family, you’d probably get […]
Favor Awareness
Scripture “…his favor lasts a lifetime.” (Psalm 30:5, NIV) Word People promote awareness of all kinds of things in this world, but one of the most important things you should be aware of is the favor of God! Every day before you leave the house, you should say, “Father, thank You that I have Your […]

Have mercy on us and make us whole!” Jesus could have healed them right then, but instead, He asked them to do something to […]
