CALL OUT TO HIM

O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. . . . I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. PSALM 57: 1–2 NLT Are there obstacles or difficulties that seem to block you from fulfilling God’s purposes for your life? Perhaps you’ve worried, planned, and…

TIME WITH HIM

“Seek the LORD that you may live.” AMOS 5:6 Do you desire a release from the stress you’re experiencing? Do you wish something could quiet your fears or give you a fresh perspective on your struggles? If so, meditating on the Word of God can revolutionize your life. The Father wants you to relate to…

ANYTHING?

“If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.” JOHN 14:14 Will God answer that deep desire of your heart that you’ve repeatedly taken to His throne? Will He really help you? Jesus placed only one condition on answering your requests—that they be made in His name. However, this doesn’t mean merely…

THE POWER OF HIS WORD

The word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 CORINTHIANS 1:18 Have you experienced the power of God’s Word in your life? Have you seen how the Father uses it to sustain your soul and transform your life?…

READY TO CHANGE

Do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy. 1 PETER 1: 14– 15 Do you sense something in your life needs to change? Are there areas that simply aren’t working? Are you willing to say, “Lord, I want to…

SILENCE IN MEDITATION

Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen. ECCLESIASTES 5:1 When you pray, do you do all the talking? To have God speak to your heart is an awesome experience—one you may miss if you monopolize the conversation and never pause to listen. But when you remain quiet,…

CONFORMING TO THE TRUTH

Whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
