Make Love Your Goal

We know that we should love others, for God’s Word teaches: “God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him… He that loveth not knoweth not God…” (1 John 4:16, 8).  But it’s not always easy as we try to cope with the day-to-day business of living in an unloving world. There have been times when God has so poured forth upon me from...

The Way of Love

Christmas is traditionally a time to share and care, a time to love and be loved, a time to remember the true meaning and message of Christmas–a message which is the very essence of love. “For God so loved the world…” (John 3:16). Yet during the rest of the year this message is largely forgotten. Each spiritual principle in our lives in learned on the level of our maturity...

Whosoever!

There was a time in my life that I didn’t know the power of the Word of God.  I didn’t know that the Bible wasn’t a dead book about an ancient people.  But when I learned that it was real and alive, that I could take God’s Word and appropriate its promises for my daily needs, that I could speak that same Word and it would be as powerful as it was when Jesus walked upon...

The Healing of the Mind

The greatest problem in America is not a food crisis or an energy crisis or a political crisis.  The greatest problem in our nation is the American mind.  The pressures of life have come, and the mind has become the battleground.  Millions of Americans hover on the borderline of emotional and mental illness.  The biggest problem which God’s Spirit deals with me about is the mind, the...

Abide in the Vine

When I first heard in 1966 that God heals today, I thought it was the most marvelous discovery I had ever made, and so did my family. But I soon learned that everyone didn’t feel the same way about it. “That doesn’t work today,” people would say. “You can’t be healed today unless it is God’s will, and you don’t know if it is God’s will unless He does it.” That was the...

A Grain of Mustard Seed

  “I want to have faith and be able to believe God to meet my needs, but it just doesn’t work for me. I can’t seem to have enough faith.” This statement is one which I have heard over and over again as I have ministered throughout the country. Since the Bible says, “Without faith it is impossible to please God” (Heb. 11:6), then it is not only important...

Following God

  The question, “How can I follow God?” is one that has always been utmost in my thinking since Christ came into my life and made me a new creature in Him. As I sat in a chapel service one morning during my first year as a student at Christ For The Nations institute in Dallas. I little realized as the minister began to speak that this would be a message which would show me new...

What Do You Remember?

  The passing of an old year brings to our minds many memories. “Don’t you remember?” is often asked when we strain to recall a certain experience or incident. My father has one of the greatest memories I’ve ever known. When I visit with my father, he recalls the names, locations, and happenings of childhood as though they had taken place yesterday. These memories...

Rejoice and Be Glad

  When people see this revival of joy, this revival of laughter, they ask, “What is the fruit of this?”  Pardon the pun, but we are the fruit of this! To the physical body and to the emotions, the fruit of joy is a strengthener.  The word strengthener reminds me of the verse in Nehemiah 8:10: “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” The joy of the Lord comes into our natural bodies,...

Carriers of His Glory

We can change the atmosphere in any situation and leave a divine impression with the people we meet when we realize that God has called us to be carriers of His glory. Sitting alone in Chicago’s O’Hare Airport during a winter blizzard, I had not expected to strike up a conversation. So, when a gentleman rolled a woman in a wheelchair a few feet in front of me, I had glanced at her...

Empowered by the Spirit

The baptism in the Holy Spirit is one of your rights as a believer in God’s Word. Anyone who has not received this precious gift, accompanied by the initial outward sign of speaking in tongues, is living far below the provision that God has made for them. Not only is it your right to be filled with the Spirit, but it is a command to every believer. “And be not drunk with wine, wherein...

Holding On To Your Healing

Literally thousands of people have experienced God’s healing touch in the meetings we’ve held in cities across the nation. Yet when I’ve returned to those same cities many people were there to be prayed for again. Their symptoms had returned–often manifested to an even greater degree. The Holy Spirit, in response to the compassion of Jesus, freed them from the clutches of...

Is It God’s Will to Heal?

“I’m not good enough for God to heal me,” said Betty, a woman who had been in pain with a back problem for six years. Her pain was so severe that she had to lean forward when she walked. She was visiting her son’s family in Missouri, when one morning her daughter-in-law turned on the television and tuned into a Christian program. That day I was a guest on the program....

Laughter: God’s Prescription

Psalms 51:12 says, “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation.” What exactly does that phrase mean? The word salvation here means “deliverance, prosperity, and liberty.” If salvation is liberty, then the joy of our salvation is also liberty. Why are so many people afraid of laughter in the Holy Spirit? Why does laughter in worship seem sacrilegious to some people?...

Unexpected Answers

God has ways to answer our prayers that we may not have thought of. Often when we pray, we have in mind a certain way for God to answer. But He can give us answers that we may not have even thought about yet! Jesus said in Mark 4:22 AMP, “Things are hidden temporarily only as a means to revelation. For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed, nor is anything (temporarily) kept secret...

The New Birth

Have you ever wished you could just stop your life and start it all over again? You can! God’s Word says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17) When you are “born again”–when you accept Jesus as your personal Savior–this new birth makes you a brand new...
