    Christian Devotional – April 20, 2016

    Read Acts chapter 19 VERSE: Acts 19:15–One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?” TRUTH: Some men who were not believers were trying to do the same types of miracles that Paul was doing so they would simply use Paul’s name. This time, the Spirit recognized that they didn’t have the power of Christ in their life and that they had no authority. What would the evil spirit have said to us? Do we live out the power of Jesus Christ in our life or are we trying to make things happen on our own power? Do we try to…

    Christian Devotional – September 13, 2015

    Read Zechariah chapter 14 VERSE: Zechariah 14:9–The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name. TRUTH: God is the King over the whole earth and there is nothing that will change that. However, there will come a day when He will be visible the King over the whole earth so that none can deny His power and His authority. When that day comes, there will be no other who can possibly stand and claim any authority. There is only the Lord. As we go through today, are we living like God is already the king over…

    Read Luke chapter 4 VERSE: Luke 4:36–All the people were amazed and said to each other, “What words these are! With authority and power he gives orders to impure spirits and they come out!” TRUTH: In that day, people experience attacks and oppression from demons. Jesus showed that He has great authority than the demons and He can order them to be quiet or to leave. The people had never seen this before. Demons and demonic attacks are no less prevalent today and we can see the evidence of their work possessing and oppressing people everywhere. Thankfully, the authority and power of Jesus Christ is no less today either. Jesus…

    Christian Devotional – June 21, 2015

    Read Mark chapter 1 VERSE: Mark 1:22–The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. TRUTH: When Jesus spoke, people listened. They may not have liked what He was saying, but no one could argue that He had authority and spoke with power. The people weren’t used to seeing that and the authority and power of Jesus drew people to Him.We do not have power or authority on our own. Our only power and authority comes from Jesus Christ and through Him. Are we surrendered to Him each and every day, for unless we are working…

    Christian Devotional – September 25, 2014

    Read 2 Samuel chapter 2 VERSE: 2 Samuel 2:6–May the Lord now show you kindness and faithfulness and I too will show you the same honor because you have done this. TRUTH: David continued to show honor and respect for Saul’s memory. He blessed the men who had gone and buried Saul. David knew how important it was to have received the anointing of the Lord as Saul had, and He desired that people still show respect for Saul. We must respect the position that God has allowed people to be in, even if we don’t agree with them. God has all authority and we must trust Him and His…

    Read Revelation chapter 1 VERSE: Revelation 1:8–“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” TRUTH: Who is God? Do we recognize the power, authority, and position of Jesus Christ? He is the one with absolute power. He has always been and He will always be. He is worthy of all the praise and honor we can give and even that won’t begin to scratch the surface of what He is owed. Do we give God the proper reverence and respect? He is worthy! RESPONSE: Father, You are indeed worthy of all honor and respect and…

    Christian Devotional – April 3, 2013

    VERSE: 2 Chronicles 33:10–The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. TRUTH: How often would this sentence describe us? The Lord desires that we have a relationship with Him, but sometimes we just try to ignore God and give Him the silent treatment. With Manasseh, eventually God stopped trying to talk to Him and just brought judgment. Then through captivity Manasseh started to listen to God. When we don’t pay attention to God, what will it take for God to get our attention? RESPONSE: Father, I will pay attention to You, I will listen to Your voice and obey Your commands. I will choose today to…

    Christian Devotional – February 22, 2013

    VERSE: 1 Chronicles 22:12–May the Lord give you discretion and understanding when he puts you in command over Israel, so that you may keep the law of the Lord your God. TRUTH: This is a curious statement to me because David is king, yet he makes it clear that it is God who will put Solomon in place as the next king, not himself. The Lord is truly the one who gives power and authority to people. We can expect Him to give us the discretion and understanding we need in order to do all that He’s set for us to do. We just have to choose to obey Him and…
