  Sharing in God’s Secrets Scripture: Psalm 25:14 “ The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. ” (Psalm 25:14) Imagine it! The Lord actually confides in those who fear him. Not only that, but he also shows them his covenant. This means he shows them his favor. What are we willing to do to experience the favor of God? When we become acquainted with God through his Son, Jesus Christ, all kinds of wonderful things happen. We become friends with God, and friends share secrets along life’s way. The same is true in our relationship with God. He reveals many of the mysteries of the kingdom as our relationship develops with him. “ But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory ” (1 Corinthians 2:7). The apostle Paul continued by saying, “T hese are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts e...

                                        HE IS ALREADY IN YOU! For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you. —Luke 17: 21  Many years ago, I was intently seeking the Lord to experience more of Him. I tried everything I knew to do, but nothing seemed to work. Finally, one day the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “You’re not finding Me because you are searching for Me on the outside, as if what you are doing will make you experience Me. I want you to stop focusing on things that are on the outside and instead ask Me to give you revelation of the fact that  I am already in you .” From the moment I received that revelation, a fresh power came into my life, and I have never been the same.  So many of us aren’t experiencing God’s power and presence because we are only looking for Him in the world outside us. Father God does speak to us through supernatural signs in the material w...

  Be a Winning Team Player Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:6 “ We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. ” (1 Corinthians 2:6) Fans of the winning team become really pumped up, yelling and waving their arms. Those of us who practice  Kingdom  of God are not only fans of the winning team, but we are also players on the team—and it is always exciting to be on the winning team! The Bible explains to us God’s plan for the ages and generally how it is going to end. He also reveals how we can be significant players on his winning team. Not only that, he gives us the opportunity to invest our time, talent, and treasure in this huge salvaging operation to save humankind. He even promises an immeasurable return on the the investments made on his behalf. The crazy “wisdom of this age” and the “rulers of this age” are coming to nothing. For this we are truly grateful, since they...

  THE SOURCE OF GREATNESS Your right hand upholds me; and Your gentleness makes me great. —Psalm 18:35 David is one of the most beloved personalities in Scripture. One reason many people are drawn to him is that David is so relatable. This legendary king of Israel had strengths and weaknesses, just as we do. As most of us know, David committed adultery with Bathsheba, even putting her husband on the front line to be killed in battle so he could take his wife. David’s choices reveal some real flaws that indicate he was an imperfect human being. David fell at times in his walk with the Lord, just as we sometimes do. Yet he knew it was God who held him up. He realized his greatness came from the Lord’s gentleness toward him. I love the imagery of John 13:23, when John was leaning on Jesus’ bosom. I think of how safe and secure John must have felt in Yeshua’s gentle love. Even when David fell, Father never forsook him. David was disciplined and suffered for his sin, but God’s lovingkin...

  Countering a Culture of Instant Gratification Scripture: Genesis 25:29–34 “Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished. He said to Jacob, ‘Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!’ (That is why he was also called Edom.) Jacob replied, ‘First sell me your birthright.’ ‘Look, I am about to die, Esau said. ‘What good is the birthright to me?’ But Jacob said, ‘Swear to me first.’ So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright.” (Genesis 25:29-34) In this passage of Scripture, we see a man foolishly give up his birthright; he exchanges all the benefits and the favor of his father for a pot of stew just because he is hungry. His temporary hunger causes him to mistakenly give up a permanent blessing for something transient. How foolish! Esau did not take time to think of the devastating cons...

                        DON’T BE RULED BY YOUR EMOTIONS Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. —Matthew 4:1 How we feel is kind of like the weather—we can’t control it. To be strong in the Lord, we have to learn to operate in the Spirit, in the Word, and in faith, regardless of how we’re feeling. Until we learn to operate by our will rather than being controlled by our emotions and circumstances, we’ll never become mature sons and daughters of God. In fact, the Lord will bring us into challenging circumstances that force us to rise above our emotions just to train us. After Yeshua was baptized in the Jordan River, the Spirit of God immediately led Him into the wilderness, where He was assaulted by the devil for forty days. Jesus felt tired, hungry, and weak.  But He rose above how He felt  and resisted every temptation. As a result of this, He came out of the wilderness in ...
