In other words, because we are made in God’s own image and likeness, there are some things which we share with Him… For example, our ability to think and be creative is one thing we have because we share His likeness with Him.

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing ... »

The mind is a powerful place. It houses our intellect, our will, our emotions, our memories, our habits, our character and the way we do things generally. Contrary to general belief, the way we do things and our general character is not determined by inheritance and largely unchangeable. Actually, researchers have discovered that genetics, or inheritance does not play as large a role in behavior a... »
Have you started forgetting what God has told you? Have you started doubting it? Have you felt that maybe He might not do it the way He said He would?

The Word of God tells us that God has blessed us with every possible type of blessing in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:3). This is an awesome truth. However, how do we make these blessings MANIFEST in our lives? When we do not see God’s blessing in our lives, is the issue that God has got... »
Years ago, God said something to me that will mark me forever. The only hope that any man has anywhere in the world is faith in Jesus Christ. We are a generation with diseases no man can heal, with problems no man can solve. What fleeting successes we have are quickly overshadowed by new and greater crises.All too often, that’s as true for believers as it is for unbelievers. It shouldn’... »
Central Truth: It takes a positive faith – a now faith – to get positive results.
