Do You Believe Enough to Expect a Miracle? - November 1996
Most people have never been taught to believe for miracles. But miracles are simple. Just believe God's Word. If God's Word says it, believe it. It doesn't require a ritual or a bunch of religious steps to see a miracle. It's not a feeling. You don't feel faith. Faith is a choice. It's simply a...

Vision for Giving - December 1996
Don't lose the vision of giving. It is God's nature to give. Vision is from God. Fantasy is one step before failure. The most important thing about giving is our attitude when we give. It is important to expect when we give. When we give, we give to get, and then to give again. But if we give and...

Judas Iscariot - October 1997
Was Judas evil from the beginning? Judas walked in the same authority as the other disciples. He seemed to walk by faith like all the other disciples. At the Last Supper, none of the disciples knew Judas was any different than them. So what was the difference? Even though Judas had been given...
-
Seeking the Will of the Father - November 1996
We tend to seek to please men instead of seeking to please the Father. Jesus did not seek glory from men but from the Father, so that He could bring glory to the Father. Do you receive from God just for your own personal gain or to bring glory to the Father?

-
Multitudes - October 1996
If we have to see to believe, we already have a huge problem. Strangely, seeing miracles does not cause you to believe God. It is the Word that brings us to believe. You cannot build on signs and wonders alone, but if you build on the Word, the signs and wonders will follow.
-
Windshield or Bug? - November 1996
In this fallen world, we have the right to give up when we fall, but we are not citizens of this world.

-
Are You Spoiled? - March 1997

God Still Speaks - December 1997
There is nothing better than hearing from God. God finishes everything He starts. He is entirely faithful. But it is important that when God is speaking, we are fully listening and fully obeying. 95% obedience won't cut it. Full obedience brings full results. We must get rid of any rebellion in…

God Doesn't Always Do - December 1997
God does always do the way we do. We would have our child born in the best hospital, God had His born in a manger. We would send our children to the best schools in the land, God trained His Son in a carpenter's shop and in the wilderness. What we would do and what God wants to do are often very...

Letting God's Word Be - February 1997
God called everything into being through His Words. When God created the earth, He said, "Let there be." By what we speak, we let things be and become in our lives. If we speak and believe negatively, we are letting the enemy be in our lives. But when we are speaking and coming into agreement…

Preparing For Revival - January 1997

The History and Future of Israel - July 1996

Our Authority Comes From Speaking HIs Word - June 1997
We cannot lose unless we give up. Our words cause us either to give up or to overcome in life. The children of Israel brought back bad words after spying out the Promise Land. It cost them 40 years. How much have our negative words cost us? We must remove evil reports from our vocabulary and put...

Why Receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit - June 1998
Are we going to choose the high road or the low road? People ask, "Why would I receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit? I received the Holy Spirit when I was saved." And you did. It is impossible to get saved without the Holy Spirit, but there are two experiences. Jesus breathed on His disciples…

Robbed of Blessings - September 1996
Many people are robbed of God's blessing because they lack an understanding of what God has for them. The law of sowing and reaping governs all other laws. The more we give in any area of life, the more we will increase. The more we hoard back, the more we fall into poverty. If you are only…

God's Gift of a Name - Father's Day 1996

No Small Miracles - August 1996

Exercising Spiritual Authority - May 1997
We must understand the power we have over the enemy. If we don't understand our spiritual authority the devil will beat up on us, but if we know our authority we can send him running. When Jesus walked the earth He prayed all night long and then commanded all day long. We are to do the same with...

Growing In Faith And Hearing God - November 1996
The world’s logic seems right because most people operate from it. But when we are led by logic or the facts, it is always the fact we don't know that messes everything up. That is why we must grow in faith and be led by the voice of the Lord. God has seen the end from the beginning, and His…

Discouragement - January 1997
Discouragement is the enemy's last attempt before the miracles come. When God is missing and nowhere to be seen in our lives we must go back to the last place we heard Him. Mary's faith brought her back to the tomb even though Jesus had died. And because of her faith, she was the first to not…

Expect Miracles - September 1996

A Time To Pray And A Time To Command - September 1996
