Praying for Healing: Learning to Partner with Jesus, Pt. 2
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He was the Healer then, and He is the Healer now. He was the Savior then, and He is still the Savior today. That conviction is where we begin when we pray for healing. We come to a loving Father...
Hearing God, Part 3: Fundamentals of Hearing
Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27 NKJV). This is the foundation for learning to hear God. He knows us completely—when we sit down and rise up, every thought and need, even every hair on our heads—and He wants us to...
Hearing God, Part 2: Tuning Your Heart to Hear
Last week, I asked everyone to spend at least thirty minutes quietly waiting on the Lord. Not thirty minutes a day, just thirty minutes during the week. Even if you sat there and did not think you heard anything, you still spent thirty minutes in the presence of...
Hearing God, Part 1: One Essential Thing
Hearing God begins with the daily choice to sit at the feet of Jesus and listen. Today I’m launching a new series on hearing God. Over the next several weeks, we will explore whether God still speaks today, how we recognize His voice, and how we discern His will....
Praying for Healing: Learning to Partner with Jesus
What if today were “a certain day”? This message grows out of four weeks spent learning to commune with the Holy Spirit—how to fellowship with Him, trust Him, and partner with Him. It also points to another essential subject: learning to hear God. Those themes...
Communion with the Holy Spirit, Part 4: Sealed
The Holy Spirit does more than visit us in a church service or help us through an occasional crisis. He is God with us and within us. He fellowships with us, leads us, strengthens us, and assures us that we belong to Christ. Scripture says that God has sealed us with...
Communion with the Holy Spirit, Part 3: Partnership
There is power in unity. Unity does not mean uniformity; it does not require us all to be the same. It means we are united around a common vision and mission. When unity leads to partnership, something greater becomes possible. Even on a purely human level, people...
Communion with the Holy Spirit, Pt. 2: The Fellowship with the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force to be studied from afar. He is the third person of the Godhead, co-eternal with the Father and the Son. He has been given to live within us, come alongside us, transform us, comfort us, and empower us for God’s purposes. At...
Healing, Our Covenant Right
Healing is not a reward we earn. It is covenant mercy revealed in Jehovah-Rapha and secured for us by Jesus Christ, the Mediator and Guarantee of a better covenant. That truth must become the anchor of our faith, because much of what we call faith is rooted in...
Communion with the Holy Spirit, Part 1: Living Water
God did not create us merely to know about Him. He created us to know Him—to walk with Him, enjoy His presence, hear His voice, and live in fellowship with Him. We see this from the beginning of Scripture. In Genesis, God created Adam and Eve in His image and placed...
