That is who you are. That is who He has made you. Being righteous means you have a right standing with God. And you need to know that the righteousness you received...

"The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what the hope of his calling is, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints" Ephesians 1:18 KJV   Beloved, the game has changed and so we have to change our dance steps.

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you". Matthew 6:33 KJV. It was God's idea to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt. And throughout the forty years of wandering in the wilderness, Jehovah took care of them. They never went farming! When they needed meat, He gave them meat. When they needed...

“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17. KJV God’s children have been beaten down for too long.

“He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall have them in derision. Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure”. Psalm 2:4-5 KJV It is disappointing how some Christians reason.

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth him with His hand”.

“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.” Jeremiah 29:11 KJV In our walk with God, we see all kinds of challenges.

“Therefore, thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.” Isaiah 28:16 KJV One of the things I notice in our walk with God is that whenever your moment of breakthrough comes, it appears that all hell breaks loose. And this is a...

“So then, it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.” Romans 9:16 KJV There is a ‘God factor’ for the believer.
