Fortune In A Bottle
"As Jack walked, his foot suddenly struck an object. When he looked down to see what it was, he noticed a half-hidden bottle with a note inside. Breaking the bottle open, Jack read, 'To avoid confusion, I leave my entire estate to the luck person who finds this bottle and to my attorney.' It was signed Daisy Alexander."

God Is Against Sickness
"Did you know that God never made anyone sick? He is against sickness! In no place in the Bible will you ever find that Jesus was for sickness. He was against it. That means God doesn't go around giving people cancer or other terrible diseases. "

I Judged Wrong!
"What I failed to understand was that while my body had experienced a healing, I, as a person with a spirit, mind, and body, had not been made completely whole. As a result, after a few days of feeling on top of the world, my strength began to fade. Rather than becoming stronger, I seemed to become weaker. Soon the old devil was telling me that I had not been healed after all. The more discourgaged I became, the more I wanted to crawl back into bed."

Recognizing The Voice Of God
"God often speaks to my spirit on the inside of me, and I understand the words. At times He will speak to me in a still, small voice. Other times His words will come up from my spirit into my head and fill it until it’s as if my head is roaring. Each time I have heard God’s voice, it has been crystal clear and the words were spoken as distinctly as if you were speaking to me. When I was dying with tuberculosis, I heard the voice of God on the inside of me say, “Son, I’m going to heal you, and you’re to take My healing power to your generation.” Then He added that someday I would build Him a university."

Malachi 3:10-11 — Part 1
That's God's Promise!
"The Bible teaches that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He doesn't change. His promises in His Word are true for Christians today. Therefore, this promise in Malachi 3:10-11 is for us is for us . . ."

Malachi 3:10-11 — Part 2
God Preserves The Seed
The word devourer can be paraphrased 'seed-eater.' In my mind I picture the old serpent—the devil—slithering along on his belly, his forked tongue flickering out to eat all the seed that we haven't sown to God."

Mark 4:15
Keep Remembering
"Often when we receive a miracle from God, the devil will come and try to steal it from us. Mark 4:15 NKJV says, When they hear, satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. . . That happened to me right after my healing from tuberculosis when I was 17. Three weeks later I was still very weak, and the devil came against me so hard that I began to worry that I had not been healed at all."

Mark 11:22
The God-Kind Of Faith
"Scripture says that God called those things that were not as though they were. In some mysterious way that's described as believing by faith. God saw something that was not. It existed in His faith and was as real to Him as if it were already there."


Luke 24:1-8
They Believed Anyway
"Everything they had believed in and the Person they had loved the most was gone. And there was nothing they could do. Or was there? Yes! Despite the events that had occurred, the women could keep on believing. They could still go to the tomb and anoint Jesus' body. They could still give of themselves. They knew soldiers were guarding the tomb and a stone covered the entrance, but they went anyway, believing and acting on their faith. They didn't let their doubts or the circumstances stop them. God saw those women acting on their faith, and He began to move. When they reached the tomb, they saw a miracle. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus (Luke 24:2-3 NIV). They were the first to witness the Resurrection. Everything they thought they had lost was restored..and abundantly more!"

John 11:1-44
Today Is Jesus' Day!
"Martha had faith for yesterday and for tomorrow, but none for the present crisis. To her, God was too late. It was then impossible for even the Lord to help her brother."

Acts 2
Direct Communication With God
Part 1 of 3 Parts
"'When I birthed My church on the Day of Pentecost by pouring out the Holy Spirit, I gave my people a communication system so that they could talk to Me directly. That was praying in tongues. The Holy Spirit and tongues belong together. This is how My people can have one-on-one intimate communication with Me, but most of them don't know what they have.'
Think how bold we would be if we were aware that we have a daily one-on-one communication system with God Himself, as if we were walking and talking with Him in the flesh. If we realized He was that close to us and that our prayers would be answered, we could do anything that God has called us to do!"

Acts 2
A New Understanding
Part 2 of 3 Parts
"When we're praying in tongues, the Holy spirit-our Comforter and helper-is interceding with God and using words for which there is no human speech. this is why He gives us a new language, because our human speech is so limited. . . .
While we're praying in tongues, the Holy Spirit is searching our hearts for problems, for hurts, for questions we don't have answers to. he's looking for things that are a mystery to us. . . .
When we speak in tongues, we're speaking directly to God! We don't have to go through life double-minded or burdened down."

Acts 2
Release The Power
Part 3 of 3 Parts
You see, in Acts 2 when the disciples were all filled with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, they received Him all right, but nothing happened until they released His supernatural power by speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. They released it, and the church was born in that split second. Peter received the interpretation and preached it, and 3,000 people were saved! . . . Notice, though, the church was not birthed from the infilling of the Spirit; the church was birthed when they released the Spirit by speaking in tongues and interpreting. . . . The Lord said to me recently . . . , 'You're learning to communicate with Me, not in your own language which is limited, but in the language of the Holy Spirit.'"

Acts 3:1-10
The Secret Of Life
"Peter was saying, 'A miracle is coming toward you. It's here! Now seize it with your faith.' The lame man's expectancy caused his faith to rise, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong."

Acts 3:1-10
Expect A Miracle!
"One day, as the apostles Peter and John were approaching the temple, they stopped before him. Verse 5 says the beggar looked up, 'expecting to receive' something from them — most likely coins. But Peter and John told him, 'We don't have any money, but such as we have we give to you.' With those words, the beggar's expectancy changed. he no longer expected money. He expected what they could give him — the healing power of Jesus of Nazareth!"

Romans 4:17
What Is Faith?
" As I listened to God, He gave me the Scripture in Romans 4:17 which tells us to have the faith of God, who called those things that be not as though they already were! All of a sudden I got it. That was an illustration of faith and how it works.
