It is In the Heart

Look at what Mark 12 reveals: Jesus commands us to love, so we must have the capacity to love. Indeed, we have all had an entire heart of love this entire time. You do not have to go thru some journey to find it—it has been right there in your heart all along...

Turn Around

The test will be that you will want to have your excuse…but you must understand that EVERYONE has their test. Everyone has his or her problem. Stop the lie that your problem is bigger. God sets it up so it is a test for you to let Him rule and to let Him have control. Who is the God of the little things? This will let you know who will be your God of the big things...

What are Your Goals

You have come for this hour to glorify God’s name, to glorify Christ’s name. If you are eating when you’re not hungry or eating beyond full, then you are glorifying your own name. That is futile, unproductive, useless, vain and empty; and glorifying yourself is repulsive—but worse, it is futile for you to have glorified something [yourself] that will be dead in a few years, and a being that has no power outside of being connected to God...

The Man Who Loves His Life Will Lose It

ohn chapter 12 has a deep lesson for us all. Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!” Faith believes that there is a clear directing hand from the Heavens on those in authority...

Loving God’s Beautiful Authority

Have you surrendered every bite of food to the lead of the Heavenly Father? Why not? The answer could be anti-authority. We need an understanding and the practice of following the lifestyle of Jesus Christ, who stayed under authority during suffering. Your Savior, Jesus Christ, did not choose His rule, but He chose God’s rule in and up to His final hour...

Do Not Put God to the Test

They willfully put God to the test by demanding the food they craved. Psalm 78:18 Do not test the generous boundaries that God has given. The volume of food you are allowed to eat is generous. Willingly cut back where needed. Do not crave anything but a relationship with God through Christ...
