Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Hungry people are desperate people. They refuse to wait; they break the lines; they ignore cultural traditions. Hungry people refuse to remain hungry. There is a hunger that is stronger than natural hunger and it compels a person to seek God passionately. I believe God is raising up people in this day who will refuse to be satisfied with a diet of “Christian life as normal” any

Ephesians 6:18 (NLT) Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. Our daily habits determine our future. What we did yesterday determines our today. What we do today will determine our tomorrow. Our habits will either take us to God’s purpose for our lives or to keep us in captivity. Many people pray only when they find themselves in trouble. It’s ironic that we can be passionate about see

Psalm 9:1-2 "I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High." NLT Many people give God half-hearted praise. They stand in a worship service in church and can barely mutter a line of lyric. And woe to the worship leader if they are asked to raise a hand or tap a toe during a song of praise! It’s seems to be ok today to be an “all-in” spor

Philippians 2:15 (NLT) "Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people." It is a fact that our national and global culture is turning more anti-Christ by the year. Some see this as a cause for fear and retreat, but it is instead a last days trumpet call for believers to renew their commitment to minister God’s message of grace and salvation with compassion, clarity and confidence. The Gospel of Jesus

1 John 1:7 ...the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. When one receives a blood transfusion, life is passed from one person to another in order to save that life. The donated blood is carefully screened and tested for possible infectious agents, such as viruses, that could be passed to the recipient of the transfusion. It is critical that the blood is pure from any corrupting agents. Since Adam and Eve, we all have inherited a corrupted DNA and a sinful bloodline. It sh

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NLT) Don’t you realize that those who sin will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with G

2 Corinthians 8:7 (NLT) Since you excel in so many ways - in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from us - I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving. When we come to God’s Word, we find God has a lot to say about money. One verse out of every six in the New Testament deals with the issue of money and possessions. One half of Jesus’ parables refer to the subject of wealth. Jesus talked more about money than He did

Psalm 2:1-2 (NIV) Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying ,“Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.” Have you ever wondered why there is such hatred and aggressive rejection of Jesus? It seems people are afraid Christ is going to bring boundaries and restrictions upon their lives. They fear not having freedom to follow whatever whim o
