Hebrews 12:1 ¶ Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. There are many of us who would love to live our lives fully for God, but we have been held back by what the Bible calls ‘weights’. You see, when the devil sees he cannot get you to backslide easily, he starts by trying his best to take away the fire you once had for God, by showing you that it’s alright to do that thing that he knows you love doing, more and more. The Bible says ‘And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do ALL in the name of th... »

One of the greatest messages the Church needs to hear in this hour is that through the Lord Jesus Christ we possess the power to speak the irresistible Word of God with power and authority. Why did God give the Church this authority? So we could heap up riches and power for ourselves? NO! So we could set this world on fire with the news that Jesus Christ has come to seek and to save that which was lost, and to set men and women free from the power of the enemy. The Word of God spoken through the lips of the members of the Body of Christ will set in motion mighty wonders upon this earth for the benefit of mankind!

NOTHING is Impossible

Mar 9:23 Jesus replied, “Why do you say ‘if you can’? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS FAITH!” ANYTHING is possible for someone who has faith… Wow. This means “impossibility” is a word that came as a result of man’s inability to have faith! The mountains you see stopping you are not real. They are just a sign of our inability to believe. The whole world is conquerable. Nothing is impossible. People will tell you something is impossible because they themselves have not been able to figure out how to achieve it; and you don’t even need to understand fully how to achieve it in order to achieve it – you just need to believe it ... »

Yes, he was sold into captivity. Yes, he was put into prison. But God blessed him in Egypt. Ordinarily, a man would become bitter after spending years in prison. But because Joseph was faithful, God promoted him and made him prime minister of the greatest nation of that day. Did it pay to be faithful? Did faithfulness pay off? Did it pay to say “No!” to his master’s wife when she tried to seduce him? Yes! Remember this: Joseph spent about 14 years in prison. Most men would have given up by then. But also ... »
