Luke 7:1-15 AMPC  After Jesus had finished all that He had to say in the hearing of the people [on the mountain], He entered Capernaum. [2] Now a centurion had a bondservant who was held in honor and highly valued by him, who was sick and at the point of death. [3] And when the […]

Jesus had two assignments to accomplish. The ultimate assignment was accomplished in the death that He died, but there was also an assignment that he accomplished by the life that He lived. John 17:4-6 NASB I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do. [5] Now, Father,

The Lord doesn’t have favorites, but everyone doesn’t experience the same level of favor. There are three occasions in the gospel where Jesus takes three of the apostles, Peter, James, and John, aside from the rest. First, Matthew 5 is about the raising of Jairus’ daughter from death.

A few years ago, I was having a conversation in a casual setting with a handful of people, and someone mentioned the fact that a building, which a church had bought with the hope of restoring it and moving into it, was part of the mudslide and was destroyed. I put my two cents worth

2 Corinthians 5:21 TPT For God made the only one who did not know sin to become sin for us, so that we who did not know righteousness might become the righteousness of God through our union with him. When talking about our spiritual birth, teachers often refer to the truth that we were born

Revelation 4:1-3 AMPC  In the midst of these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice which I had heard addressing me like [the calling of] a war trumpet said, Come up here, and I will show you what must take place in the midst of these things.

The Lord has had me lingering in Revelation 5 during my footstool time. There are remarkable truths to be found on every page of Scripture, but some of the things in Revelation 5 are blowing me away. In verse 2, when John saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice (by the way, there

Galatians 4:7 TPT Now we’re no longer living like slaves under the law, but we enjoy being God’s very own sons and daughters! And because we’re his, we can access everything our Father has—for we are heirs of God through Jesus, the Messiah! To be the sole heir means that everything is yours by birthright,
