"A Quick Reminder" There are times in each of our lives when it may feel as if our spiritual walk has dried up. Instead of experiencing an abiding joy, we feel only dissatisfaction. Perhaps you may be feeling this way right now. The apostle Paul may have encountered the same situation, because he knew just what to write to the church in Corinth. These people were born-again, spirit-filled believers, yet he said it was needful to remind them of something: he wanted them to hold on to what they’d already learned. If doing so was necessary in Paul’s time, then it’s even more necessary for us. Oftentimes we think we just need the minister to bring a new revelation we’ve never heard to get us back on the right spiritual track. But we don’t. What we really need is to be reminded of the truths that have escaped us. Some Christians have an attitude that says, “I’ve heard that before” or “I already know that.” What they don’t understand is this: “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17 NKJV). Faith comes when the Holy Spirit reveals the truth afresh to you, when the God’s Word drops from your head to your heart. As you review and remind yourself of the truths you learned before, ask the Holy Spirit to make them a fresh revelation to you. Truth Confession Holy Spirit, I ask You to give me a fresh revelation of the basic truths that set me free. I ask for a fresh revelation of the power of Your word, of faith, and of Jesus.#Repost @copelandnetwork (@get_repost) ・・・ Who is God? The English word "God" does not tell us who He is. You can know God's character and what He is to you by His Names as revealed in the Bible! Here are the seven redemptive names of God:⠀ ⠀ 🎯 He is El Shadday - My Almighty God⠀ 🎯 He is Jehova Rapha - My Healer⠀ 🎯 He is Jehova Rohi - My Shepherd⠀ 🎯 He is Jehova Tsidkenu - My Righteousness⠀ 🎯 He is Jehova Shalom - My Peace⠀ 🎯 He is Jehova Shammah - My Always Present God⠀ 🎯 He is Jehova Nissi - My Covering⠀ 🎯 He is Jehova Sabaoth - The LORD of Hosts⠀ ⠀ Take a moment and reflect on what each of these names means. Which one speaks to you most about who God is to you?"Encourage Yourself" Do not allow discouragement and despair to rob you of the wonderful future God has prepared for you. It doesn’t matter how severe or distressing your situation might be right now, the pain you may be experiencing does not entitle you to just give up. You can’t give up. Instead, you must encourage yourself. You do this by turning to the Word of God. Open your Bible and read it. Get those faith-building audio messages off the shelf and listen to them again. Go back and re-read books that will strengthen you. Don’t wait for someone with a special anointing for encouragement to come along. Encourage yourself! Pick yourself up out of your distress, stand in front of your mirror, and say to yourself, “You can either stay distressed or you can be of good cheer. Which is it?” If your head drops, pull it back up and say, “No, that’s the wrong choice. You’re going to be of good cheer. You’re not going to let this situation destroy you.” Reach down into your spirit and begin to draw on the faith that abides within, saying, “You’re not going to give up. You’re not a quitter, you’re a born winner. You’ve been born again with the very nature of God. You are not defeated. The battle is not even yours, it’s the Lord’s. But the victory is yours!” Truth Confession If God is for me, who can be against me? I’m not going to give up. I’m not going to quit. I’m a born winner. I am born again with the life and nature of God. I am victorious and I have the victory in every situation.

God's Word is the fuel that runs your faith. Without the Word you will eventually slow down to a stop. When you immerse yourself in the Word you will find yourself healed and prosperous. - Pastor George Pearsons #faith #bible #health #prosperity #pastorgeorgeJohn Wesley on the gifts of the Spirit: "I was fully convinced of what I had once suspected: 1) That the Montanists, [those that practiced ecstatic prophecy, gifts of healing, and the like] in the second and third centuries, were real Scriptural Christians; 2) That the grand reason why the miraculous gifts were so soon withdrawn was not only that faith and holiness were well nigh lost, but that dry, formal, orthodox men began even then, to ridicule whatever gifts they had not themselves, and to decry them all as either madness or imposture" - journal entry on August 15, 1750 #johnwesley #giftsofthespirit #awakening #revival #faith #holiness #healing #miracles #signs #wonders #prophecyTherefore I exhort first of all that you make supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings for everyone, for kings and for all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4Always happy to get a new BibleHappy chocolate is on sale eve to everyone2 Corinthians 4:13In light of growing antisemitism around the nation, especially on college campuses and the recent U.N. resolution condemning Israel for "settlements" will you stand with Israel and the Jewish people? How can you stand with Israel and the Jewish people? On the political side you can support @christiansunitedforisrael which supports pro Israel legislation in Congress, works to combat antisemitism on college campuses via @cufioncampus and hosts conferences and provides resources to help you stand with Israel. On the practical side you can partner with @larryhuchministries and support multiple projects including flying persecuted Jews to Israel through Project Aliyah, supporting Jewish farmers through planting olive trees, providing mobile ICU ambulances, building bomb shelters and supporting holocaust survivors. Genesis 12 says, I will bless those who bless you. Paul wrote that the gospel is to the Jew first then the Greek. If you want to reach American Jews with the gospel you can partner with @sidrothtv at https://sidroth.org/tv-videoupdate-project77/ to distribute an evangelistic book to Jewish households. #jewishroots #standwithisrael #cufi #lhm #sidrothHappy birthday to a great woman of God! I don't know how many times I watched the God Wants You Well VHS when I was a kid. Sister Copeland always has so many great "Gloria-isms" and faith building stories to share. When I listen to her, I always pay close attention when she says "Ken and I" because I know she is about to share a great nugget on faith and how to walk in victory. #birthday #gloriacopeland #faith #healingschool #prosperity #kcmThe spiritual law and its prerequisites found in this verse can be summed up simply like this: talking the Word + meditating the Word + acting on the Word = prosperity, wise dealing, and success. - Jerry Savelle, Heritage of Faith DevotionalFebruary 2020 S M T W T F S « Nov 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 Subjects
