I AM



For Christmas and 2009 I wish you the Power of the Name of Jesus!



To Moses at the burning bush, God revealed His Name: I AM (Ex. 3: 14) He is the God of Now: He is ever present. He forgives the past, He will guide you through the future, but He is concerned with who you are and what you are going through right now!



As a Child Of The Most High God, I Can Say With Confidence:



I AM - A Child of God (Rom. 8:16)

I AM - Redeemed from the Hand of… Continue

“Ask of me what you will,” He said as He gently pulled me on His knee. My eyes were closed but I knew it was the Father. I was cocooned in a brilliantly white, warm, peaceful embrace. My hands were glowing hot and I knew instantly that I had received the gift of healing.



I would have loved to stay there forever. It was heavenly how His love flowed over and through me. This happened years ago, but I remember it as if it was a few minutes ago. In fact, over the years whenever I have… Continue

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."



God hears your prayers and guides you - even in the worst possible circumstances. Oh, He’s so good! All I want to do is shout! Why? Because He surely is “the Lord that healeth thee.” (Ex. 15:26) and a “rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” (Heb. 11:6)



I must give God the glory for all the wonderful things He has done! For years I had… Continue

If the Victor is living in you, victory is not just a possibility. It’s yours for the taking!



Are you a Christian and still wondering why you’re the victim of so many calamities? Life is not fair. The fact is that you’re living in an imperfect world inside a decaying body of flesh. How victorious is that!



But… you have the DNA of a victor! You may not feel like a winner because you’re subject to emotions, and they are controlled by the soul. First and foremost, though, you… Continue

I had a frightened call from Debbie yesterday. She was

totally beside herself. She had just gotten off the bus and

was at a physical as well as spiritual crossroads. She was

totally consumed with fear, crying and shaking

uncontrollably.



Someone involved in occult practices had threatened that,

if she did not follow through on a tentative promise she

had made, there would be consequences. Debbie, who had

recently accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her… Continue

You are born helpless and needy, being totally dependent on nurturance from others. In fact, God has created you with a deep need that can never be satisfied until you turn to Him. One of His Names is El Shaddai, which means: God, the All-Sufficient One.



The Lord woke me up today with a jolt. Regardless of how well you know the Word and want to obey it, it’s not always easy to follow through, isn’t it? What do you do when the rent is due and you have nothing coming in, or when your… Continue

The world and everything in it is constantly changing. In a flash of a moment disease and calamity of every kind can strike.



According to the Bible there shall be wars and rumors of wars. Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdoms against kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places – and so much more bad news. (Mat. 24: 6 – 11) But in the midst of these warnings, Jesus said: “See that ye be not troubled”



Now, it’s one thing to… Continue

Oh what glory it truly is to be sitting in His Presence. Once that Presence envelops you, you feel like Peter on the Mount of Configuration when he wanted to build a tent and stay there forever. It’s as if you’ve suddenly come face to face with a little fawn in the woods. You hardly dare to breathe for fear that you’ll disturb that magical moment as in a flash it’ll be gone forever.



It’s so wonderful just to sit in peace and not have to say a thing. The pains, concerns and trials you… Continue

What does pride have to do with offense, and how do they relate to unforgiveness and result in alienation from God and loved ones? It's hard to see most of the time, especially when you're right. We've all been there, haven't we?



Let's consider the following scenario. You and your brother are both invited to a very special party in honor of a mutual friend. Your brother had been planning for this party for weeks and carefully picked out a beautiful gift which he knew his friend would… Continue

Consider the picture of Jesus cleaning out the temple. He did it twice; Once at the very beginning of his ministry (John 2: 15-17) and again at the end. (Mark 11: 15-17) Both times he showed anger, spoke with authority,

and single-handedly drove out everyone who used the house of God for personal

gain.

These were the only times Jesus showed anger. He wasn't…

What do you think of when you hear the word freedom? Obviously everyone pictures it completely different, right? You may imagine doing anything you would love at any time without any hindrance of finances,

time or ties. You would not notice any angry, envious or judgmental glances;

nor would you care! You'd just be free as an eagle and loving every single

moment!

It's comforting to…

"Something beautiful, something good.

All my confusion He understood.

All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife.

But He made something beautiful of my life."

This hymn, which I hadn't heard or sung it for years, has been popping in my mind for over a week now. I could not remember all the words;…
