“If you want to grow in wisdom, spend time with the wise. Walk with the wicked and you’ll eventually become just like them.” (Proverbs 13:20 TPT) You are a product of the association you keep, and the environment you are constantly surrounded by.

"I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth."

You have the victory over the doctor's negative report, fear on the highway, charms, divinations or...

“I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear thereof and be glad.

“Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.” (Numbers 21:8 NKJV) Beloved, God wants you to look to Him, that you may live. No effort, no struggle, just look. His instructions are not grievous, and He never leaves you without help even...

“…And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.” (1 Samuel 16:11 KJV) God said to me, “Son, listen to me, this your calling, not many noble, not many mighty.” In other words, the more disqualified you think you are, the more you are qualified. When Moses thought that he was qualified as a very learned...

“And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.” (Mark 6:47-48 KJV) The Lord said to the disciples,...

“looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2 KJV) According to the Bible, this is your identity, “Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of...
