Before Jesus taught us how to pray, He taught us how not to pray. Reciting prayers as a formula was one of the ways He taught us not to pray. Prayer has to be from our own heart, spoken in our own words, with our own beliefs, expressions, and emotions. But more than anything prayer has to be approaching God based on our relationship. The only cure for formula-based, ritualistic prayers is an intimate relationship. It has to be based on a relationship where a child is approaching his or her lovin...

Jesus gave us another issue that must be resolved before we begin to actually pray. Sanctify God’s name in your own heart. Sanctification is the process of making something holy. God’s names reveal His character and nature. We know God will never act contrary to His name, moreover, He will always uphold His name. If we have made His name holy in our heart, praying in His name takes on an entirely new dimension. Join me this week and let’s discover a process that establishes our heart in faith in...

What most of us call prayer is more like beggars pleading their master for bread crumbs, unsure of what His response will be. That’s why Jesus taught that before we enter into any of what we call prayer, we should experientially connect to God as Father. Sons are not just legal heirs; they are joint rulers of their Father’s kingdom. They know their Father, what He wants, and how He gets things done. In other words, he knows the Father’s will without having to ask. Jesus modeled what it would loo...

There is a door in our heart that gives entrance to the Kingdom of God: a place where we can access all the resources of God. We have been provided the key that opens this door. It was a free gift, but too often we don’t use the key we have been given. We attempt to use a key that our pastor gave us, our parents, or one we created ourselves. Millions of believers stand outside, baffled and discouraged when their key doesn’t open the door. Join me this week and I will help you find the key Jesus ...

The scriptures tell us that God’s mercies are renewed daily. In our limited concept of mercy we see that as God merely forgiving us for what we have done wrong. What we fail to see is that mercy has so many more dimensions. It is also a shelter that provides protection and provision; it is a hiding place where we can experience God’s creative power. It is a place where we can have revelation, and more. Every day God’s mercy is ready to transport all of us to the place in our heart where we can s...

The world desperately needs to see the glory of God. For centuries we have believed that more signs, wonders, and miracles would bring the world to Jesus, but it never has and never will. The world needs to see what we have all seen by looking at Jesus. They need to see God portrayed in the lives of people who are one with Him. The more we yield to Christ in us, the more we magnify God in the earth. When we love, people see God as loving; when we forgive, people see God as merciful. The more we ...

Jesus showed us the glory of God by revealing exactly who God was. His teaching, the way He treated people, and all of His miracles were expressions of the true character and nature of God! But in John 17:22, He says, the glory you gave me I have given them. In other words, He didn’t share any of His personal opinions; He didn’t make up new doctrine; His every action was an exact representation of God. If we want to see the glory of God, all we need to do is look at Jesus. Because He only reveal...

Most people look for some outward sign to see the glory of God. After all, that’s what religion has taught us. Religion never wants you to realize that God’s greatest expression of Himself is what happens in us. God’s glory was perfectly manifest in His Son Jesus. Today His glory can only be perfectly manifest in His children who yield to Him. Your Father, like any father, experiences His greatest joy when His children look like Him. The more we look like Jesus to the world the more the world wi...

The scripture tells us when we behold the glory of God we are transformed into that glory! For thousands of years mankind has longed to see the glory of God. The children of Israel saw the cloud by day and the fire by night, which led them on the wilderness journey, but it didn’t transform them. While these were definitely expressions of God’s glory and goodness, they were not actually the glory of God. God wants to reveal His glory to you in ways few people have ever recognized. His glory alway...

It is a little known fact that God calls the New Covenant the Covenant of Peace. In this covenant Jesus is our peace offering. It is by His death that we have peace with God. As we celebrate our peace through Him our heart not only connects to Jesus, but it also connects to all the provisions of the Kingdom of God. Join me this week and connect to Jesus as your peace offering.

The ultimate celebration of the Hebrew believer was the peace offering. It was not an offering given to get something; it was a celebration of the fact that there was peace between God and the believer. In that connection the believer not only experienced God’s peace that passes all understanding, they experienced the acute awareness that all God’s resources were available to them. Join me this week and discover the intimate link between experiencing God’s peace and participating in all His bene...

The Bible teaches that every aspect of our connection to God is faith and grace. It starts with faith and grace, and every step along the path of this journey is faith and grace. Faith and grace are in no way opposing one another. In fact, either one is meaningless without the other. Join me this week and discover great insights that will make your journey with God easy and light as we explore Faith and Grace: First to Last!

The blood of Jesus is for more than washing us clean at salvation. The Bible teaches that faith in the blood of Jesus is the solution for a defiled conscience. Sometimes our heart condemns us, sometimes we know issues that need to be dealt with, but the Bible actually teaches how we can deal with a defiled conscience: the vague sense of distance from God, or the feeling that something just isn’t right. Join me this week and look at what the blood of Jesus did so you could have a clear conscience...

One of the most anticipated and celebrated rituals of the Old Covenant was the peace offering. This celebration occurred when the worshiper had made peace with God by dealing with his or her guilty conscience. Today we have that peace through Jesus. Yet, the Bible defines a very specific process whereby we experience that peace. Join me this week to examine the path of peace. Discover the secrets of allowing peace to rule in your heart.

God always seeks to protect us from harm. Since we are free-will beings, He cannot force His protection on us. There are two primary things that make it possible to experience God’s protection: first, we must be vigilant. When we see or sense trouble, turning to Him should be our first option. Next, we run to Him. We are not running to Him just as a place to hide. When we run to Him we reconnect to His heart and harmonize with His truth. Then His wisdom becomes ours and His strength replaces our...

Religion has made us believe that once we have failed, we may get forgiveness, but our calling and destiny is over! One of the most crucial factors in motivating people to get up when they fail is the hope of recovering their call and destiny. If we lose the hope of our dreams, we lose all motivation. After all, who wants to live the rest of their life with no purpose, no hope of living their dreams? I’ve spent many decades helping recover those who had given up on themselves and their future. J...

In the original language of the Bible, the psalmist tells us God is chasing us… not to hurt us, not because He’s angry, but to draw us into an intimate heart-to-heart relationship where we are protected, provided for, given direction and most important: deeply and personally connected to Him. Mercy isn’t just getting by with something; it’s not just getting better than we deserve. Mercy is an expression of love designed to draw us back to God! Join me this week and discover God’s ultimate plan f...

There is one particular sin the Bible indicates may be the one from which you can’t recover. I’m not saying it cannot be forgiven; I’m saying it is so devastating to the heart that we cannot recover. The Bible says the reason Job was able to be recovered is because he did not commit this particular sin. Job didn’t let himself become so overwhelmed by his painful circumstances that he gave up hope and lost his sense of purpose and destiny. Join me this week as we talk about the sin Job didn’t com...

When you’re standing at a crossroads there are so many factors that flood your mind telling you which way to go. God wants to help you make the decision that will ensure your life is filled with peace and the promises of God. But life is often so complicated that we can’t weigh out all the factors. As hard as we try we often fail to make the best decision. Wisdom comes from the mouth of God. Wisdom is the practical application of truth.

More than anything else Jesus came to reveal God’s true character and nature. Everything He did was exactly what the Father would have done; everything He said was exactly what the Father would have said; every person He healed is what the Father would have done! Jesus made it possible to cut through all the religious perversion of God’s nature and see God in the flesh! Join me this week for The Ultimate Revelation. In Jesus you can see the only perfect representation of God’s nature; the only p...

God asked the question, whose report will you believe? There are two reports about the nature, character, and true identity of God: there is God’s report and everyone else’s! God’s power manifests in our life based on what we believe about Him. Faith is more about what we believe about God than it is what we believe about what God will do. When we know His character and nature we know, without a doubt, what He will do! God has given us what the Bible calls revealed knowledge; when we believe wha...

One of God’s names indicates that He is self-revealing. In other words no one can accurately show us God other than God Himself. Thankfully He has given us specific ways we can see Him as He is! One of the most unique ways God has chosen to reveal His true nature and character is through His names. All of God’s names reveal His loving, nurturing, caring passion for mankind. When you know God’s name you know what to expect; you know what you can trust Him to do and you know what He will not do! J...

Jesus was the perfect model of God and the perfect model of a man yielded to God. When we look at His life and believe God’s account of who He is we can do the things He did and even more (Jn. 14:12)! Jesus’ secret to moving in the power of God was rooted in being one with God; i.e. the same character, the same nature, the same truth, and the same actions. In order to become one with God we must clearly see who He has revealed Himself to be! Join me this week for a powerful message about becomin...

Seeing God as He really is ends all problems with faith, peace, and relationship. The prophet Isaiah said that the failure to see God as He is causes people to blaspheme His name continually. People blame God for things because of what religion has taught them. But at some point we must decide if we will believe God’s revelation of Himself or religion’s deception! God is good and only good; when we see Him as He has chosen to reveal Himself, all we see of Him is lovable, trustworthy, and faithfu...

What would change if you thought someone was angry with you and then found out they stood up for you and even protected you when others meant to hurt you? The first thing that might change is the way you felt about that person. Not only did you find out they weren’t mad at you; you found out that they cared enough to fight for you! This is what happens when people discover how God really feels about them and what He has done for them! Join me this week for one of the most important revelations o...

The Bible warns of reaching a place where we are past feeling, sensing, and hearing the voice and presence of God in our heart. When that happens we think God isn’t speaking to us or leading us; it seems that He is never protecting us. Religion wants you to believe God has left you. But the truth is, any time we can’t sense or recognize God speaking and ministering to us in our heart we have reached that place of either not being able to hear or not willing to hear. But God never quits speaking ...

When the Bible says, “God so loved the world,” that is not the same type of love He expresses to those who love Him back. The Bible speaks of a relationship with God where He shares His secrets; He shows us things to come; He reveals His ways, and so much more! That’s not the relationship He has with everyone. It is the relationship He offers to everyone, but that is not the relationship everyone wants. The person who doesn’t open his or her heart to God can’t hear the intimate secrets God is at...
