The enemy’s thoughts are obvious towards believers. He wants to destroy us. He wants to draw us away from God and keep us in despair. It’s true. If the enemy had things his way, he would batter us day after day and take us out by any means necessary. (John 10:10) But we don’t haveContinue reading “Destined to Win”

We all have a measure of faith. And as with any skill, it requires practice and endurance to build it up. Therefore the more we rely on God, the more our faith grows. And the more we build up our trust in God. (Jude 1:20) When we trust God wholeheartedly, we exercise our faith inContinue reading “Shield of Faith”

Our spiritual enemy, the devil, is always looking for ways to get us off track from God’s perfect plan for our lives. If it were left up to our enemy, he would have us living in constant fear and distress. But we don’t have to allow him to steal our peace and ruin our lives.Continue reading “Stand Your Ground”

It’s easy to live by the world standards and serve ourselves. But quite challenging to submit to and serve God and His word. Yes. It’s hard, but not impossible. We simply have to decide to honor and serve Christ with all our mind, heart, and soul above all else. (Matthew 22:36-37) But realize when weContinue reading “Christ-centered”

When we’re waiting for God to move in our situation, it’s easy to lose heart. We tend to focus on our circumstances and surroundings rather than on the power of our Heavenly Father. We allow doubt and frustration to rule our attitude. We let our feelings shape our perspective on things instead of trusting inContinue reading “Great I Am”

Our enemy, Satan, is good at firing fiery darts at us to incapacitate, destroy, and, if possible, kill us. But we don’t have to fret because we have God and His armor to protect us. Our Heavenly Father has given us the shield of faith to circumvent any attacks the enemy comes at us with.Continue reading “Claim Your Victory”

Too often, we judge the outer appearance of a person and miss the intent of their heart. We see the material things they have. Perhaps their credentials or the social circles they run in. We even consider the things they do for us and others, but we miss their motive. (1 Samuel 16:1-13) So whyContinue reading “Outer Appearance”

When we are deceived by the lies of the enemy, it impedes our progress in Christ. And it keeps us from living the life that Christ planned for us from the very beginning. That’s why it’s vitally important that we understand that Satan, our enemy, is a real threat. (Jeremiah 29:11) We can not minimizeContinue reading “Fullness of Life”

God has warned us that Satan is a liar and the father of lies. So why is it that we too often consider what Satan whispers in our ear as absolute truth? We trust in his lies instead of rejecting them. We trust Satan’s words rather than what God has told us. (John 8:44-45) WhenContinue reading “Joy of the Lord”

Many people seek comfort in various things in hopes that they will find peace. But contentment cannot be found in the bottom of a bottle, bag, or bowl. Nor can it be found in worldly wealth, entertainment, or self-gratification. Contentment and peace can only come from the One who gives it, Jesus Christ. (John 14:27)Continue reading “Return to Sender”
