Hope That Has Been Appointed For Us
“We who have fled to Him for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope that has been appointed for us” (Hebrew 6:18). When I read this verse I am reminded of a specific time when I ran faster that ever before to the Lord as my refuge. I didn’t leave that refuge until I had the strength and hope that had been appointed just for me; it actually had my name on it. The situation in my life at the time looked hopeless. In the natural world it looked like our […]
The Power to Move a Mountain
“You will know and understand the hope to which He called you and the greatness of His power.” Eph 1:18 We have access to His great power when we are in His will. The power to create the universe, move a mountain and change history is in His hands. He has placed me as His child, His representative on the earth, to call on Him to create, move or change something. Sometimes we get so preoccupied that we forget our purpose. Have you ever gone into the grocery store and forgotten what you intended to buy? After a couple of […]
Expect to See The Impossible
“I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13 We read of the children of Israel in Psalm 106:12, “Then they believed His promises and sang his praise.” Unfortunately, they did not believe until after they saw Him work in their situation.

Your Burdens Roll Away
“Commit your ways to the Lord (roll and repose each care of your load on Him); trust (lean on, rely on and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.” Psalm 37:5 Amp You have probably found, as I have, that every problem has a weight to it, and some are heavier than others. If you have committed your ways unto the Lord and are trusting in Him to work things out, then you must release the heavy weight and not take it back again. Do not worry about it; trust Him. This does not […]
Holding On to Hope
“We who have fled to Him for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope that has been appointed for us” (Hebrew 6:18). What are you hoping for? A new job, a husband, a wife, or healing of a loved one? Whatever you are hoping for let me encourage you to tighten your grip. It is time to securely grab hold of whatever the Lord has promised you, don’t let it slip out of your hands and don’t give in to even the slightest disappointment. Spend time with the Lord and this […]
