From the Archive: Does God send evil? Does He allow evil? Does he use it to teach us a lesson? Or does He give Satan permission? These are questions that we have to get settled deep within us to truly know who God is.
Nothing can truly fill you except God. There is a thirst inside every person. And so many times, we try to fill that void with everything but God. Those things only offer temporary satisfaction, but the things of God last and satisfy forever.
For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. -Colossians 1:16-17. Angels are created beings, but with a different purpose than man. God's angels are much more powerful than the devil's demonic forces, but we need to partner with God's will and Word to see His angels active in our lives.

Do you know the difference between a promise in the Word and a conditional covenant? There are very few promises in the scripture that are not conditional. Meaning there is something each of us must do to see God's promise come about in our lives. So the question becomes, how do we meet the conditions?
You will never understand how to fully trust Him until you grasp His total love and forgiveness for you. Ask yourselp: Have they ever disproved one thing in His Word? Have you ever discovered one person He failed or one promise He fail to keep to anyone in His Word? So you think you will be the first person in history He ever failed?
We can miss God when we have a preconceived idea of how God is going to do something. Very seldom, if ever, does God do something our way. His ways don't line up with our reasoning, but when we learn to trust God with all our heart, peace comes. God always comes through, but He seems to work differently each time.
What are we supposed to do to enter into the deeper things of God? Many times, we get our roles reversed. We start out trusting God, but get lost between point A and point B, when God comes through. Our thinking needs to be reprogrammed to believe without a shadow of a doubt that God will do exactly what He has promised to do.

Passive faith does not deny the truth. It is quick to say – ‘Yes, I believe the Word', but passive faith too often believes that God can, but not necessarily that He will. Passive faith is a bigger enemy of victory in our lives than doubt itself. Faith can become such a common word that it loses its significance. The Lord wants us in ACTIVE faith and not PASSIVE faith.

How do we turn loose of fear and the world's thinking, and securely grab hold of God's promises? We must become like a child. We cannot approach Psalm 91 or the promises of God from adulthood. We are not to become childish but childlike. As adults, we wrestle with the knowledge of good and evil because of Adam and Eve's choice to sin, but to receive only from the Tree of Life, we must again become like children.
When we let offense set in our hearts, it can become deadly. How you handle opportunities to be offended will determine whether you continue to grow spiritually. Offense can trip us, cause us to stumble, and ultimately entice us into sin. Offense is something we need to eliminate completely. Ask the Lord if there is any area where you have been offended, and then repent to the Lord until you feel that area is cleared up.

It is time to overcome the past disappointments in your life. Peter 2:6 tells us, "And he who believes in Him will not be disappointed." Subconsciously, we can become disappointed with God, and it sets us up to stumble. But God wants to deal with all the areas of disappointment. The first step to getting rid of the disappointment is to actively trust God again in the same area where we have been disappointed.
Do we trust the Lord? Do we rely on the Lord's goodness? Do we commit ourselves to what our Lord stands for?
Pride is the covering that keeps deception hidden in our lives. If we are going to stay out of deception, everything in our lives must be backed up by the Word of God. We cannot live our lives based on someone else's word or beliefs. Truth must become personal to us as we humbly search out the Word. In the end, everything we believe and live by must line up with the Word of God.

Do you know the fullness of God's love? 1st John tells us that God is love and God wants His love to be tangible in our lives. We can miss the fullness of God's love when we fall for the world's substitute. When Jesus healed the multitudes, the bible says He was moved by compassion. So God's compassion is greater than the "love" or empathy we are used to. Many times, we mistake human empathy or sympathy for love. But Jesus' compassion is so much more than the world's empathy.
Jesus came to carry the load. Many times, we are carrying weights that Jesus promised to carry for us. Sin, sickness, and everything that came as a consequence of sin fell on Jesus on the cross. We don't need to continually pay for things that Jesus paid for on the cross. Jesus died so that we might live. He carried what we deserved to break the power of the curse. So we can live a life of freedom.
Once you receive wisdom it is something to be guarded. Because even godly wisdom can become corrupted. The Word tells us these 4 things can corrupt wisdom: pride, sin, alcohol and drugs, and compromising the Word.
What is wisdom? There is a godly wisdom and a natural wordly wisdom. James 3:15 says the world's wisom "is earthly, natural, demonic." The world's wisdom sounds good, there is a seduction to it but leads to a demonic end. But true wisdom comes from above and is more precious than gold.

Unfortunately, today there seem to be so many people serving the great I was. But that is not how God revealed Himself to Moses. God revealed Himself as the great I AM. God is working and moving NOW in the present, not just in past history. The problem with faith is that God confirms His Promise to us after we step out in obedience, not before. So we will never fully see the result of God's Promise until we fully step out in obedience to His Word.
The potential of the anointing in our lives is limitless, but we must protect what God has given. Humility before God is the key to protecting the anointing. We cannot operate in the anointing and do it our own way. Samson failed to seek God in his years of strength. It took him being imprisoned before he cried out to God. We can save ourselves a lot of trouble by crying out to God and seeking Him every step of the way.
It's important we don't waste what God has given us. When we don't value the anointing and call God has put on our lives, we end up taking for granted what is most important. And whatever we take for granted, we waste. God has put His anointing on us as believers, for a purpose, to see His kingdom grow throughout the earth.
A – About: This passage recounts the battle between Israel and the Philistines in First Samuel 17, where David faces Goliath. While Israel trembles in fear, David trusts the Lord to deliver him. God displays His power and glory by granting victory—not through human strength, but through faith. B – Best Verse: "Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord's…" (1 Samuel 17:47 NKJV) C – Called to Do: We are called to trust the Lord rather than our own strength, walk in faithful obedience, and rest in the greater victory of Jesus Christ—our true and better Champion.
The anointing is the supernatural ability to fulfill your God-given assignment. In the Old Testament, the anointing would come on a prophet or leader for an assignment, but might not remain. But now, since the book of Acts, the Holy Spirit has been poured out on all flesh, and we have received the Holy Spirit inside of us when we are born again. The anointing is a gift from God. A precious gift, we must learn to walk in and steward.
But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. -Revelation 2:4. Do you remember your first love? You couldn't eat. You couldn't sleep. You couldn't think or talk about anything else. That is how it should be with the Lord. The passion between the Lord and us is the foundation for everything. Don't ever lose what brought you to Jesus.
Waiting is a hopeful anticipation and a deliberate alignment of our will with God's perfect will. It is the beginning of our total dependency on God. Because He can do what no human can accomplish. Waiting shows God we are willing to be obedient and that we are sensitive to God's guidance. But those who wait in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint. -Isaiah 40:31

God revealed His covenant progressively throughout the Old Testament, and these agreements reached their ultimate fulfillment in the person of Jesus. Thankfully, our New Covenant is so special because it is sealed by the blood of Jesus, which creates a permanent bond between God and us. His blood gives us the ability to inherit all the promises of God, and boldness and confidence when we seek Him.

Throughout the Old Testament, there was a progression of covenants with the Fathers of our Faith, leading up to our final covenant with Jesus. Even though we don't think in terms of covenants much today in the Old Testament, a covenant, specifically a blood covenant, was the most powerful and binding agreement known to man. It was a permanent joining of two people, two families, or two groups of people. This is exactly how much God wants to be in covenant with us.
If we don't have a revelation of our covenant with God, we will never have the boldness to operate in what has been given to us. A biblical blood covenant is a permanent, sacred union between two parties. We are familiar with temporary contracts today, but that is not how God does things. Our covenant involves His life and our life becoming one. And as believers, we are joined with God through the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross.
Prayer should not be ritualistic or religious. It is a relationship with God, and prayer is the time we get in tune with the Master. Thankfully, Jesus does give us an outline in Matthew 6, on the way to pray, but it is meant to be much deeper than us repeating the Lord's Prayer. Prayer is where the Father's heart and way of thinking overtakes our own. It is a place where we find belonging in the Lord. Prayer is not a religious checklist, but an encounter with God and His Word that changes us.
Many years ago, as a young mother, Peggy Joyce attempted to witness to her neighbor only to end up questioning her own faith. The next eight years were filled with paralyzing fears and depression. Most pastors and the psychological world had given up entirely, but God had a different plan. (Also available in book form, Tormented 8 Years and Back.)
The story of Jesus' birth is more than just an event that happened in history; the Christmas story is meant to change the world. It is good news! The message of Salvation was first laid out in the Christmas Story. Jesus, our Savior, was born for each of us. For the first time, peace and goodwill were brought to the earth.
People with physical or emotional needs seem to be more willing or ready to turn to God, but people who have everything or have been able to solve their problems in and of themselves many times have no real reason to turn to God. They are seemingly satisfied and have no noticeable need. How does God reach the unreachables?
Satan is the god of this world, and we must learn to overcome all of his schemes and assignments. At the root of all the enemy's schemes is fear. No matter what you are facing, it can always be traced back to fear. But Jesus told us, "Be of good cheer. I have overcome the world." -John 16:33. If we are to be like Jesus, we must learn to be overcomers in this life.
Are you taking time to make your Thanksgiving personal to God? It is easy to go through the motions and give thanks, but in His Word, God instructs us to give thanks to Him. One of the most valuable things we can give God is our thanksgiving. It is a way we can give back to God what He has given us.
